J. J. HILL PLEASED Burlington's Earnings for July- Most Gratifying. THAT EIGHT PER CENT DIVIDEND Each Road Will Make a Profit of $1,000,000 If July Aver. age Holds lip.

Special to The Journal. Chicago, Sept. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, was here yesterday, en route from New York to St. Paul.

He spent most of his time President Harris of the Burlington. Mr. Hill was pleased with the earnings of the Burlington in July. The June report indicated that the Burlington would fall far short of earning the dividend of ,6 per cent which was guaranteed by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific companies. The surplus of July was $912,052.

that be the average surplus for the rest of the year not only could be paid on the bonds issued jointly by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific companies, but they would each receive $1,000,000 as their first year's profit on the Burlington deal. Perhaps nobody will be more surprised, however, than J. J. Hill and E. H.

Harriman if the Burlington's net earnings the present fiscal year amount to $8,000,000, the amount, necessary to pay the interest on the bonds issued. It is no longer a secret that Mr. Hill is determined to retaliate for the treatment he received from Mr. Harriman in the Burlington deal. Mr.

Hill spent a vast sum of money in a futile attempt to secure control of the Northern Pacific. He was also forced by Harriman to pay an extravagant price for the Burlington. Now it is asserted that Mr. Hill is determined to help W. A.

Clark to put his line through from Ogden to Los Angeles, to fight the Southern Pacific and that Mr. Hill will also build lines in the territory which has been practically monopolized by the Union Pacific. These reports seem to verify those from the east to the effect that Mr. Harriman has been making strenuous efforts to resume friendly relations with J. Pierpont Morgan.

Failing to see Mr. Morgan in New York, Mr. Harriman followed him in his yacht along the New England coast from harbor to harbor. When Mr. Harriman's yacht finally overtook Mr.

Morgan's there was a conference between the owners. As reported it was about as follows: "I am cruising for pleasure. See me in New York if you want to talk business," said Mr. Morgan. "When will you return?" asked Mr.

Harriman. "I don't know." "Very well. Good day." "Good day." And Morgan's yacht went north and Harriman's went south. Local railway officials are of the opinion that time will prove that E. H.

Harriman paid dearly for control of the Northern Pacific when it cost him the good will of J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. Hill. The next steps of Mr. Hill will be closely traced, as he has just come west direct from Mr.

Morgan's office in Wall street. CAR" Apparatus for TesiiiiK Engines In- troducetl by North-Western. Special to The Journal. Winona, Sept. divisions of the Chicago North-Weetern road west of Winona are being gone over at the present time by the dynamometer car.

This is a car that was built and put on the road about two years ago, patterned after those in use on some of the eastern roads. It has proved a valuable addition to the equipment, and while it has heretofore been used only on some of the divisions it is now to be sent out at intervals upon all. The mission of the dynamometer car is to toll the pull of engines, find out where tonnage can be improved on, and if the locomotives in practical service are developing the power that meets the theoretical -scale. The apparatus on the car is very ingeniously arranged for bringing out these different points. The ear lias been on the first division west of this city for the past week and is now at work between Tracy and Waseca.

Some very thorough tests were on the Stockton hill, which is one of the steepest grades on the entire line. The tests have shown that the locomotives are for the most part developing their full tractive power. A special test which the car gives locomotives is whether the steam generated is distributed to get the best results, this being a test moTe for the engineers than for the engines, for the steam distribution is handled by means of valves, the adjustment of which rests with the engineers. This special test was also satisfactory for the engineers run- Ding out of Winona, showing that they were thoroughly acquainted with the engines which they are handling and know how to get the best results. The car is in charge of Mr.

Newsom of the motive power department, and under him are two assistants, it requiring the services of three men to properly handle the car. EARNINGS INCREASE Soo Line and SI. St. Show Bis Figures for August. The earnings of the Soo road for August were $430,227.85, an increase of over the corresponding month last year, or a gain of 31.6 per cent.

From July 1 to Sept. 1, earnings were an increase of $190,446,78 over the same period last year, or a gain of 27.8 per cent. From Aug. 1 to 21, inclusive, the earnings of the Minneapolis St. Louis road show an increase of $39,767, a gain of 25 per cent, and from July 1 to Aug.

21, the increase is shown to be $82,557, a gain of 20.11 per cent over the corresponding period last year. HALF FARE PERMITS Extended for Clergy Over All Went of Chicago. Chicago, Sept. half-fare permits are to be extended to cover the entire territory between Chicago and the Pacific coast. At a meeting here yesterday of general passenger agents representing all roads in that district it was agreed to widen the scope of the reducedrate concession to clergymen and to others in that class.

It is proposed to issue one permit that will entitle the holder to purchase a ticket at one-half rate between any points west of Chicago. Burn Oil In Engines. San Francisco, Sept. engines of the Southern Pacific company are to be equipped for the burning of oil instead of coal as expeditiously aa possible. To this end storage tanks, with a capacity of 30,000 barrels each, will be erected at Oakland, Fresno, Mendota and other points south and east on the line.

From Helena, to St. Paul. Special to The Journal. Helena, Sept. H.

W. Brown, who has been appointed district freight agent of the North-Western railroad, left yesterday for St. Paul, where he -will assume his new duties. While in Helena he tilled temporarily the position of North-Western traveling freight agent. New Place for Special to The Journal.

Williams who for several months has been in tlia service of the Great Western as yard master here, has resigned and as soon as relieved will go to West Superior to accept a similar position with the Eastern Minnesota His successor lias not yet been announced. Railroad Notes. Vice President Louis W.

Hill of the East- era Minnesota has returned from his trip to Europe. The earnings of th-j Chicago Great Western railway for the month of August were $734-, 781.68, an- increase of $115,119.04. No other month In the, history of the road can show a bigger increase over past earnings I The North-Western line announces' that its weekly excursions in tourist sleeping cars between Minneapolis and San Francisco and Los Angeles wfil be resumed for the coming winter on Tuesday."
