The Union Pacific is owned by 51,016 stockholders. Forty-three percent of the stockholders are women. Stockholders outnumber by 4,461 the yearly average num ber of otficers and employes of the system. No one person, firm, corporation or institution owns as much as two percent of the capital stock. The average holding is 63 shares of a par value of $6,300.00 A large amount of the stock, although registered in tho names of stock brokers, is actually owned by a great many different individuals, clients of such brokers. Furthermore, many of the registered stockholders are executors, trustees, guardians, etc., representing individuals who are the benefi cial owners. If, therefore, a list of the nctual owners could be compiled. It would greatly exceed 51.016, and the average bidding would be considerably less than 63 shares. Again, large amounts of the stock are owned by life insurance com panies and savings banks, who, though actually owning tho stock, really bold it for th,e benefit of vast numbers of life iu suiance policy holders and savings bank depositors. Vnion Pacific stock, like the country's trade, follows the flag. Stockholders are found In every state of the I'nion. and in Alaska, the Canal Zone. Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Is lands and Porto Rico. ft Were these 51.016 I'nion Pacific stockholders assembled at one place, they would make a population as large as that of Lincoln, l!u!te. Topeka, Pasadena or Pueblo. They represent a greater number than the combined popula tions of Colorado Springs, Boulder and Greeley In Colorado, or Ottdeu, Provo, and Logan In Utah. This widespread distribution conclusively answers the state ment that the railwavs are owned and controlled by a few persons. To an extent not generally recognized, the railways are owned by the public. The subject cornea home to every household when it Is considered that life insurance policy holders and savings bank depositors are partners in the oper ation and development of our railways. The public and our employes should know that we are work ing, not tor a few wealthy men. but for an army of more than 50.000 persons, almost hilf of whom are women and most of whom are persons of moderate means. To serve well the public and these shareholders Is the highest ambition of the 46,555 officers and employes of the Union Pacific Family. The Union Pacifie s constant effort is to furnish its patrons and the general public with the best brand of transportation that can be manufactured. Constructive suggestions are alwavs welcome. C. H. GRAY. President Omaha. Nebraska WORK OX HARDMAN ROAD KOW VNDER FULL SWIXG A total oi 39 men and 42 horses were employed on construction at the road camp on the Heppner-Hard-man road on Heppner flat, according to the time sheet in the county road master's office and the work may be said to be under full swing. Grading, crushing and distributing roclr nn the hiphwfiv is pninp nhend and already a considerable showing has been made on tho job. The work will be pushed to the limit until completed, Judge Camp bell says, unless a shortage of labor during the harvest may necessitate cutting down the road crews. When completed the new highway will give a five per cent grade into and out of Heppner to the south annu west and will prove of great benefit not only to the town but to the farmers in that section of the coun ty.
