Reorganization Of the Lake Superior and

From the St. Paul Press we gather some
interesting facts relating to the reorganiza-
ton of this Company on the 2nd inst.
William L. Banning, who has been Pres
ident of the road for over six years, and
Robert H. Lamborn who has been its See
dered their designations, which were ac-
cepted; whereupon Frank H. Clark, of the
banking firm of Z. w. Clark & Co. OF
Philadelphia, who are among the largest
stockholders in the road, was elected Pres
ident, and Charles L. Funess of the same
city, Secretary and Treasurer. Several
changes were also made in the Board of
Directors. The officers of the Company
are now as follows:
President-Frank II. Clarke
Vice Presdent-Samuel L. FELTON,
Secretary and Treasurer-Charles Elliott Furness.
Finance Committee-Wm. e. Moorehead and J
II. Clarke.
Board of Director-John Edgar Thompson, Sam

Jaw Cooke Jr., Robert II. Lanlborn VIM. l.. Banning,
James Smith, Jr., Charles Ii. Graves
General Superintendent-W. ". Hungerford.
General Freight Agent-W. S. Alexander
These changes were the result of an en-
tirely amicable understanding among all
parties They had their origin in no disa-
greement or dissatisfaction but it has been
understood from the first that when the
road was completed its management should
go into the hands of the Philadelphia par
ties who furnished the immense amount OF

calm, with no cnating, rope-snapping, tum

harbor basin is bound to freeze early, and
open late, as sure as it is situate on Lake
Superior. But there is one important ex-
ception to this otherwise invariable rule,
and that is i'll cases whore a river of suffic-

the harbor The action of the current ex-

of ice at the harbor mouth; delaying its

with the melting SHOWS and April rains, is

The unparalleled harbor in front Of Su-

her way through the open water, or frail

harbor that is as safe and well protected,
and yet has no rivers passing through it.
1t has been objected by some that the
Bay of Superior would be good harbor
if it were not for the rivers which empty at
its mouth, which is another way Of saying
that it would be a good harbor if it had
nothing to keep it open in the fall, and cut

Without the river current to do It's part,
the s'safe" harbors on Lake Superior are
too safe, and the open harbors are too

was in pursuance of this mutual under
standing that the recent reorganization was
effected.
The Directors rendered their thanks to
Mr.. Banning for the untiring energy and
ability he has exhibited from the inception
to the completion of the road" and testified
in warm terms to the great services he has
rendered to Minnesota and the Northwest
in opening this new outlet to the Lakes.
This encomim of the Board of Directors is
justly deserved by its subject.
The road has been built under the i'm

the cost has exceeded the original esti-
mates, being about 81 900, 900.

Ui the valley leads one To believe tina;
under the slow action oi volcanic forces
the Sierra range may have been thrown
up, and that through some disturbing
agency an immense mass thus raised may
have sunk down thousands OF fcct and
been swallowed up in the fires below

are perpendicular rather than Sloping like

1t might be supposed that some great con-
