It bearing upon the general business outlook, the
monthly review from November J. of the National
Hank of the Republic of Chicago, says:
-"The one thing needed to complete the pres
ent optimistic outlook In business is a betterment
of railroad revenues. And to a small degree at
least, recent, earning statements meet the require
ment. With the exception of the roads of the
Northwest every section of the.'ountry Is contrib
uting toward this better showing. Gross revenues
of the principal roads for September show a small
increase over the same month of last year, during
which latter month those roads reached the high
Ht, total for any month of 1914, notwithstanding
tho fact that genral business at that time was at
low ebb. Tile recent Improvement in railroad re
venues Is due to an almost uniform enlargement
In the tonnage movement of all classifications of
freight except lumber. As a slight hint of the
complexion of forthcoming statements of earn
ings the idle-car report, of October 1 is of interest.
On that date the net surplus stood at 78,299, in
dicating an increase in the nuiHber of cars in
active employment during September of 105,400,
one of the largest changes ver recorded for a
single month."

OBSERVE ELECTRICAL
WEEK IN SPRINGFIELD
In common with all the lead
ing central stations of the Uni
ted States, the Oregon Power
Company is planning to observe
"Electrical Week" from Novem
ber 29 to December 4. The big
plant here will bo open for In
spection all week, nnd tho. sub
station at certain hours, when
an 'attendant isat band.
Railroads serving the Pacific
Northwest, particularly the
Southern Pacific system,, con
tinue to show greater earnings,
says the Telegram. The enor
mous travel to the Pacific coast
set in early in the summer, and
although not in such large vol
ume as during the summer
months, passenger traffic is still
holding up well, and probably
will until the close of the Cali
fornia expositions. Freight traf
fic began to pick up during tho
summer and has been incheas
ing in volume steadily on nearly
all rail lines. Lumber shipments
are greater, and the bulk of the
wheat from the interior lias not
yet commenced to move.
According to tho Railway Age
Gazette, the operating revenues
of the Southern Pacific for July
and August was $14,595,497;
gain in net operating revenues
over July and August of last
year, .SOSIS.
