Who Owns
The Union Pacific?
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

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

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.
