ROMANCE
OF THE UNION PACIFIC
OVERLAND THRU IDAHO.
The formnilon and subsequent vi
cissitudes of the Union Pacific rail
road company forma one of the most
fascinating stories In the history of
American Industry., A writer In the
r.iilroaj ilar.ctte outlines the history
of that groat system In the following
hi li f review:
The original Union Pacific company
was created by act of congress during
the civil war. and the credit of the
Vnited States government to the ex
tent of many millions of dollars was
extended to aid In building a great
railroad across the "deserts" and
through the mountains. The road
whs completed In 1SS9, and It was the
rause of the greatest scandal In the
history of the American congress
the Credit Mobllier. which smirched
the reputation of many congressmen:
and led to the expulsion of two mem
bers. Bankruptcy.
The road was operated with vary
ing success and many scandals until
1 ?!'.'!. when It went Into the hands of
receivers at about the time when the
courts took possession of the Atchi
son railroad, the Northern Pacific and
man? others because business had
failed to such a low ebb that they
could not pay their debts. The road
remained in the control of the court
until 1S97.
A compromise was finally reached,
the government's loan to the company
was fully secured, and a reorganiza
tion was effected In 1S97, which put
the system under the control of th
present Union Pacific company.
The new company Immediately set
to work to recover branches and di
visions which had been separated
from the system, and to reconstruct
the road. Immense sums were spent
In this process of rehabilitation.
Harrlman's Influence.
E. H. Harrlman has been the or
ganizing genius of the system ever
since its re-organizatlon. His plans
have been gigantic, and they have
been carried forward with energy and
success.
Having made a first-class system
out of the dismembered and long neg
lected system. Harrlman began to
reach out. He bought, for the Union
Pacific, a controlling Interest In the
great Southern Pacific system, for Its
connection on the Pacific coast. When
this purchase was made the popular
Idea was that Harrlman would "skin"
the Southern Pacific In the Interest of
the Union Pacific. Instead of that,
he has brought both systems up to a
high standard of efficiency and profit
yielding, and now has put the South
ern Pacific where It has never been
before in the list of dividend paving,
companies.
War In Wall Street.
When James J. Hill adopted a pol
icy that was accounted Inimical to the
Union Pacific. Harrlman Immediately
entered Into that memorable contest
for the control of the Northern Pa
cific, which resulted In cornering the
market for that stock, running Its
price up momentarily to $1000 a share
and precipitating the panic of May 9,
1901, the worst that Wall street ever
experienced. On that day stocks went
so low that If wiser counsels had not
prevailed and brought about a rally,
every bank in New York would have
failed.
But Harrlman came out a gainer In
the light of subsequent developments.
i.ITe held a large Interest in Hill's great
railroad trust the Northern P!"curl
tiesVompany nnd when that corpor
ation was dissolved by the courts, the
redistribution of Its assets put Harrl
man nnd the Union Pacific In control
of a large lot of Great Northern
stock.
The Union Pacific thus owns mil
lions of dollars" worth of the stpeks
of the other railroad companies, nnd
these holdings are estimated to he
now worth $100,000,000 more than
their original cost. The Union Pacific
company, therefore, can pay divi
dends not only out of the profits of
railroad operations, but also out of
Incomes from Investments.
This fact, together with the ph.
nomenal success that has been
achieved In building up the business
of the railroad, explains why Union
Pacific stock, which 10 years ngo was
scorned by Investors and kicked
around Wall street with almost no
value, has now become a 10 per cent
stock, selling for almost double Its
par value.
Steve Adams Taken to Wallace to
Answer for Murder.
A Orangevllle special to the Lew
lston Tribune says: Sheriff Angus
Sutherland of Shoshone county, War
i den E. L. Whitney of the Idaho state
j penitentiary and Deputies E. P. John

$5000 Per Year for Conch.
Coach W. T. Reld, who will be at
the head of Harvard football this
year, is probably the highest salaried
football coach In the country. Reld
last year received $.1500 from the
Harvard Athletic association for his
two months' coaching, and theu it
was admitted he received $1600 from
other sources, so that his salary was
S'iOOO a year, almost as much as Pres
ident Eliot himself received. The only
other coach who ever received this
amount was Foster Sanford, the old
Yale player, when he was coach at
Columbia. Now, with the exception
of Reld, the highest salary usually
paid to a football coach is $3500. This
Is tho amount which Coach Yost re
ceives from Michigan. It is also the
amount that Coach Williams of Min
nesota and Coach Stagg of Chicago
are thot to receive.

kidneys with the certain and safe
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which

Mrs. E, J, Meiners, of 621 Lewis
street, Pendleton, Ore., says: "We
have used Doan's Kidney Pills In our
family for several 'ears, About two
years ago a cold settled In my kidneys
and back and caused if good deal of
pain and backache, as well as annoy
ance from the kidney secretions. My
back nnd loins were lame and sore,
companled by sharp twinges of pain,
At this time Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to me and I began
using them. They brought relief at
once and banished the entire trouble.
Since then when I have caught cold
I have felt a slight recurrence, but
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills has re
moved the annoyance promptly. We
wouldn't be without this remedy In

be one that has genuine merit"

FOR THE BLOOD
The demand for S. S. S. has steadily increased since it was first placed
on the market until it is now recognized as the greatest of all Wood purifiers. .
It has won its way to success because IT CURES DISEASE, and
there are few homes where "S. S. S. for the blood" is not a household saying.
As the blood is the very life of the body, nourishing and supplying strength
to every part, disease in some form is sure to follow when it becomes contam
inated. Iiczema, Acne, Tetter, Boils, Pimples and the various skin aflectio::
are due to an over-acid and impure blood-supply. Rheumatism, CatarrV.
Scrofula, Chronic Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Mood Poison, etc., are u.
deep-seated blood diseases and will continue to grow worse and more danger
ous as long as the impurities and poisons which produce them remain in t'n
blood. In all blood disorders S. S. S. has proven itself a perfect remedy, ain
well earned the right to be called the greatest of all blood purifiers. It goes
down into the circulation and forces out all pobois, impurities, humors,
and unhealthy matter, and makes this life-stream rich, pure and health-sustaining.
S. S. S. reaches inherited blood taints and so enriches the circula
tion that diseases of years standing are permanently cured. It contains no
harmful minerals and is nature's real blood purifier. Book on the blood and
medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CAm
