Curtis, writing in the Washington Evening Star, quotes from a recent Interview between him self and E. II. Ilarrlman. He asked Mr. Ilarrlman: "What good have you done with the proceeds, of the $250,000,000 in bond3 and stocks you have floated since you obtained conttol of tho Union Pacific sys tems?" "I havo reorganized and rebuilt and roequlppod two of tho biggest railroads in tho world, altogether about 15,000 miles of track," re plied Mr. Harrlman. "When 1 com menced to reorganize tho Union Pa cific in 1898, there was no reason why any one or a dozen men should not havo done It, but nobody else seemed to have the nerve. The road was practically a wreck. New Roads Built. "I have opened up a vast area of valuable contributing territory by building nearly 2,000 milc3 of new road, and have 2,2 GO miles additional under construction or projected. I tiavo shortned distances, havo re duced grades, cut out curves, relaid the tracks with heavy steel rails, re placed the wooden bridges with steel and masonry, double tracked a con siderable distance, provided addi tional terminal facilities for handling freight, built eight of tho finest steamships on the ocean, secured the finest fleet of any nation on the Pa cific, bought or built 1.41S locomo tives, 1,418 passenger cars and 42, 000 freight cars. "I have spent $257,7G0,700 to pro mote material development of the communities traversed by the lines. They serve the people lying between the Mississippi river and the gulf and tho Pacific ocean and a part of Mex ico." Over 15,000 Miles T11 System. "How many miles of road have you under your control?" was asked Mr. Harrlman. "A little less than 6,000 In Union Pacific and a little more than 9,000 In Southern Pacific. We have built 515 miles of new railway The Times has secured the services of an perienced job printer from San Francisco We are now in a position to turn out work of the best quality, with character and work that will please the best judges Call up phone 1 33 1 and let' us give you an estimate on that job mnh & and lwno about 500 miles more un der construction. "In these Improvements there wore expended from 1898 to the close of 1900 $ 10.9S1.214; for locomotives, enrs and steamships, $39,557,129, and for the construction of new lines and purchase of terminal property $30,G1G,314, a total of $111,157,G57. One hundred and forty-four miles of second track and GG0 miles of sidings were built and 531 locomotives, 230 passenger and 1G.4G4 freight cars purchased. "On the purchase of a controlling interest in the Southern Pacific Com pany In 1901 tho now management was confronted with a condition which demanded prompt attention. To provide for this need, to open up thc undeveloped country adjoining tho company's linos nnd to bring the property up to tho highest stan dard of efficiency for the prompt and economical movement of traffic, largo outlays were necessary. Since July 1, 1901, to the end of 190G there has been expended $1 1G,G03,052. "There wore built or acquired dur ing this period an aggregate of 1,395 miles, and construction is progress ing on about 1.7G0 miles of projected lines. There were also added 5G miles of second track, 720 miles of sidings, and there were purchased 787 locomotives, 820 passenger cars, 2G.03G freight cars and eight ocean steamships. "With an increase of 4 12 miles, or a fraction over 5 per cent, over the mileage operated in 1901, there were carried 1,397, 411, 7S3 passen gers one mile In 190G, against 935, 143, S26 in 1901."
