GOES SOON TO SAN FRANCISCO There lie Will Confer with Central Pacific Officials on Matters Connected with the Two Lines. President Mohler. Vice President Mini roe and Passenger Traffic Manager Foil of the Union Pacific have returned froir New York, where for more than a month. In conjunction with Southern Pacific of ficials and the executive committee ot the Harriman roads, they had been working out the dissolution ot the merger of tho two Pacific lines, as contemplated by tho order of the courts. Relative as to what was accomplished at the numerous conferences held bctweon the railroad officials and with Attorney General W.lckersham, President Mohler said: V "Everything that was done was given full publicity by the press reports sent out from New York and Washington There are still many matters of detail to be worked out. but I am unnblo to snv Just what they will be, or how they will be handled. Those are things for consideration as they come along In the future." Branches to Remnln Same. Relative to tho Union Pacific. It and Its brunches will remain the same as now and be operated the Damn and without any change In the personnel of the forces as far as Is known at this time. The Central Pacific from Ogden west to Oak land will bo a separate corporation, but ,a member of tho Union Pacific family of roads, occupying a position similar to .hat of the Oregon Short Line. It will have its own .president and Its own officers all the way down the line. These officers will handle the property Independent uf the Union Pacific but wtth this road these officers will mnlntaln very friendly relations. Divorced from Southern Pacific. The two roads will be completely di vorced from the Southern Pacific and between the two roads, the sharpest com petition will exist, each working. to se cure the lion's share of business In and out of California. Owned by different stockholders and officered by men who will have, no Joint interests It Is said that the competition will be as spirited as be tween any two roads operating into Omaha. President Mohler, although he docs not mako the statement, will continue as president of tho Union Pacific, and there Is nothing to Indicate that there will b any changes In tho official family. Ther men will have authority over the tamo lines that were under their control prior to the dissolution of the merger no mora and no less. President Sproule having- gone with tha Southern Pacific and the old Central having become a road Independent of any other, naturally left this line without an executive head. To bring It Into the Union Pacific family It was necessary that there should be an executive jfflcer who -would have full authority to act, consequently W. F. Herrln, who had been with the company for years, was elected to the presidency, but perhaps this s only temporary. Dissolution Accomplished. Vice President Munroe views the dls. solution- of the merger as having ben completely accomplished, with the excep tion of working out the details which w'll be gradually brought about. As between the old Central and the Southern Paolflc at the new York conferences It was something of a game of give and take. The Southern Poclfic takes the Shasta route running north through California and up to Portland. It aso secures track age onto the Oakland 4nole, but not ex clusive, by any means. In order that It may bo able to get tho grains, cattle and products of central and southern California up onto the Union Pacific and to an eastern market, It retains control of some of the branches running south from Oakland. In this part of California the Central and the Southern Pacific score some points, for they secure one line run ning down through the San Joaquin val ley and a line in the eastern part of the state, running from Mohave, north. Completed Shortly. Just when the transfer of property will be made and when the complete working out of the details will be an nounced Is uncertain, though It Is thought that they will come along rapidly. The general agreement has been approved by the officers of the Union nnd Southern Pacific and by the United States through Attorney General Wlckersham. This matter now goes to the federal court In Utah for Its approval, which Is looked upon as something Informal, but neces sary under the provisions of the original order. Saturday or Sunday President Mohler and tho other executive officers of the Union Pacific will go to San Francisco, where they will meet the officers of the Central Pacific and go Into' conference with them as to what Is to bo done In carrying out the details of tho court order and arranging the traffic affairs of the two roads. .

Out of I.0S3 corporations In Nebraska CSS made a profit of $5,000 or more during the last federal fiscal year, according to the annual report of the commission of Internal revenue, which haa Just been Is sued. This represents 16 7-10 per cent of the corporations of the state. The figures are gathered from the re ports made by the corporations to Boss Hammond, collector of Internal revenue for the district of Nebraska, and upon which reports nro based the levy of cor poration tax. Tho net Income of these corporations was given as $18,00!). OOfi.41 In an aggregate capital stork of pS),6C,12t.(C For convenience In making up tho records tho revenue commissioner has divided the corporations lnt five classes, The financial and commercial corpora tions Including banks, banking associa tions, trust companies, guaranty and surety companies, title Insurance com panies, building associations and Insur ance companies not specifically exempt are thrown Into class A. Of this class Nebraska had L007 of which 250 reported a net profit of over $5,000. thereby being subject to the corporation tax. The 1.0J7 corporations showed a net Income of J5.66D.S48.16, on a capital stock of $33,284, OT5.75. Public Service Compnnlen. Public servlco corporations constitute class B. In Nebraska 456 of these re ported, only thirty-one of which showed a profit large enough to throw them within range of the corporation tax pro vision. The 456 showed a net Income of $2,270,999.62, on a capital stock of $69.(C3, 336.S6. The industrial and manufacturing cor porations constitute class C. Of these C07 reported In the stnte, only 8S of which showed a net Incomo of over $5,000. Tho 007 corporations showed a net Incomo of $2,84.990.48, on a capital stock of $58,412, 9O0.2S. Those In tho mercantile business thrown into class D numbered 1,441, of which 227 reported a $5,000 annual profit. The 1,444 mercantile corporations reported an aggregate net Income of $5,233,404.80, on a capital stock of $79,951,803.00. Clasa E Is tho miscellaneous class. In cluding architects, contractors, hotel, theater or other companies or associa tions not otherwise classed. Of these 479 reported. Only 46 ot these showed the $5,000 profit. The 479 reported an aggre gate net profit of $1,749,847.2), on a capl. UU stock of $28,O3O,03.0O, Profits! Shown. This means that class A, the financial and commercial corporations, made a net profit of something over 17 per cent on the capital stock: class B, tho public service corporations, something less than 31i per cent on tho capital stock; class C tho Industrial and manufacturing cor porations, a little better than 0 1-10 per cent on tho capital Btock; class D. the mercantile corporations, 7 2-5 per cent on tho capital stock, nnd class ' E, the mis cellaneous, Git per cent on tho capital stock. These percentages are taken on the bases of all the corporations of each class doing business In the state. This does not take Into consideration that some of these who did not reach th $5,000 profit mark may have made a smaller percentage on the money Invested,- and some of those reaching a higher total may have made a much greater per cent on their Investment.
