ROflOSleTclFIOEflT IiARGE ORDERS SHOW BELIEF IN GOOD TIMES. A. D. Charlton, of Northern raciflc. Says Big Crops in Northwest Presage Great Prosperity. In the placing by the large railroad systems of orders for additional equip ment. A. D. Charlton, assistant general passenger agent of the Northern Pacific, of this city, sees indications of an ex ceptional era of prosperity. During the last few days orders for 2025 steel pas senger and freight cars were placed with a single manufacturing concern in Chicago. Included in that business were orders for 1000 freight and passen ger cars and 20 locomotives for the Northern Pacific system. "This action by tho railroad systems operating In the West," said Mr. Charl ton yesterday, "is an expression of con fidence, betokening general prosperity, that is not to be discounted. The addi tional equipment has been ordered be cause it is required to handle the busi ness. Including unparalleled grain crops, originating in the Pacific Northwest. "There is no question but that 1911 will prove one of the- most prosperous in the history of this section of the country. Reports from all sections in dicate that this year's grain crop will be a bumper crop, exceeding all previous high records. What is more, good prices are In sight for all cereals. For several years the Pacific Northwest has been producing grain crops above the average in quality, while the market price has been remunerative to the producer. The prospect for good prices this season is bright. These conditions naturally will attract unusual attention to the Pacific Northwest. "The tourist business has been Im mense this year, but next year, with the Elks' convention obtained for Portland, gives greater promise along this line. At the same time there is greater ac tivity in the mining districts of the Pacific Northwest than .it years. All this makes for prosperous c ulitions. "Bumper grain crops, activity in min ing pursuits and exceptional movement of tourists generally occur in cycles of five or 10 years. The indications, -however, are that next year will witness an unprecedented activity along all of these line. At any rate, the railroad systems have sufficient confidence in existing conditions and next year s pros pects, that they have gone to a great outlay to equip themselves for handling the augmented business already in sight."
