So inconspicu ously placed in the just-issued annual report of the Union Pacific that it has attracted little or no attention, is a comparison of the company's condition and operations in 1898 and in the closing year of the decade of Harriman manage ment completed last year. Using round figures, this shows an increase of gros receipts of from $33,000,000 in 1898 to $81,500,000 in "1907. The company's, net earnings in the same time have in creased over $31,000,000. Tiled charges tfrom $4,500,000 10 years ago to $11,500,000 In 1903. Since then there has been a steady decrease, and under this heading the total for last year is reduce to $8,650,000. While dividend disbursements in 1907 amount ed to over twenty millions more than were paid in 1898, t'nion Pacific's net surplus ijor the year) increased fikmi $7,5O0O,TO6 to $12,500,000, the largest in the history of the company. Since the reorganization of 1898 the Union Pacific and its Oregon lines have in creased the average number of tons car lied one mile per mile of road fnftn 410, 758 ton, to 1,010,543 tons,4or 250 per cent. The same comparison of passengers carried shows an increase in the ratio of , nearly 3 to 1 or from 42,854 to 120,520. UNDERWRITERS TO INVESTIGATE. SEW! YORK. Jan. 18. Declaring their belief that New York is in danger of being swept by a serious fire and that the city is resting in false security, the Board of Fire Underwriter yesterday begun what is expected to be a compre hensive investigation of the condjtious which, if not remedied, they are already i-onvinceJ, render a calamity inevitable. They have engaged W...C. Robinson, an engineer, who investigated the Baltimore ruins and the San Francisco burned dis trict, to undertake the work here. Mr. Robinson said yesterdays "With a gale blowing and the fire de partment delayed 15 to 20 minutes in getting to work, a fire breaking out in one of the downtown skyscraper would in all likelihood get beyond control and leaping from building to building, beyond the reach of puny stream of water, destroy hundreds of millions worth of property. That this city has not had a disaster exceeding even the San Francisco or Baltimore fires, is due to good fortune only. "I think an analysis would show more inferior methods in the amount and degree of fire proofing and pre protection among the buildings of New York than in any other large city. So far the sal vation of the city has rested upon its fire department, but the situation is now beyond the readied of even the most efficient fire fighter." CALIFORNIA'S FINAL TRIAL. SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 The" new cruiser California went to sea yesterday for her final trial.

The loan cer tificates issued by the Xew York Clear ing House during the recent financial stringency reached a total of $97,000,000 according to a statement prepared by President Alexander Gilbert, of the Clearing House Association. Of this amount, however, only $74,900,000 in certificates was put into actual use. By far the greater proportion of the cer tificates President Gilbert says, have now been redeemed. .The issuance of these certificates Mr. Gilbert says, furnishes the best object lesson of an emergency currency, 0 that is perfectly secure and one which can be put into effect without any com plicated bank machinery. "All that is needed to adapt such a system to our- requirement is develop ments, and I feel confident that if the subject could be referred to the clearing house committee of the three central reserve cities," says Mr. Gilbert, "an emergency currency plan it is believed, evolved that would be in harmony with our national banking system and be less subject to criticism and opposition than any other system which has yet been proposed." 20 Per Cent , Off ON ALL Men's and Boys' Suits Mm ' IBslll ' f I 20 Per Cent Off ON ALL Men's and Boys' Overcoats and Baiiicoats The best of all Gearance Safes, because we are selling new and desirable merchandise, and the cut prices are genuine.

The unsettled condition in the financial world is to te used by the railroads as an argument to defer the enforcement of that section in the Hepburn aot providing that no road can own coal lands.

They contend that it is unconstitutional as it attacks inter ests vested unden charter authority prior to the enactment of the measure. FOX HUNTERS ARE WELCOMED.
