The four or five score of officers and EN-
ployes at the headquarters building of tht
Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha line, will probably
live on fish most of this week. Mr. Hiland il
to return from his fishing excursion Tuesday
Six coaches filled with immigrantsl arrived
here yesterday ovol the Chicago route OF
the c. St. P. s. o. Lima. One poor woman
came in yesterday morning, bearing in her
arms the dead body of her baby, which had
died IN her arms during the night.
Among the immigrants arriving here yes
terday morning, was colony of about ninety
English people, bound for Rapid City, in Man
itoba, where they expect to be visited this sea-
son by the Governor General, the Marquis Of
Lorne. There is already considerable Eng
lish settlement at Rapid City.
Mr.. w. H. Dixon returned from Chicago
yesterday morning to close up his labors for
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul company prepara-
tory to entering upon his labors as commits
sioner of the Western Trunk Lines Passenger
association. AS commissioner he will have
his Office at No. 14S Monroe street, over
Rand, McNally g. Co.'s store, where his MIN
nesota friends will be welcome.
A new hanger, issued from the traf-
fc department of the Chicago, st..
Paul 81 Omaha line, is headed Something
to Talk and Think About" On reading it,
the something" appears to be that people
living along the old st. P. & s. G. railroad and
branches, if contemplating a visit to the East,
'should go through st. Paul, the live, enter
prising city of the Northwest"
Hon. F. R. Delano, superintendent of con-
structions of the N. P. branches in Dakota, as
is his custom, came from Fargo yesterday to
study st. Paul morals on Sunday. He states
that he has graders at work all along fifteen
to twenty miles of the Fargo Southwestern
branch, and for nine or ten miles on the extern
sion of the Casselton branch. He adds to this
very positive assurances that Fargo and other
Northern Dakota towns ara fourishing and
full of speculation.
Close upon the announcement of the letting
the contract for building the Fergus Falls
Northern road, from Fergus Falls, on the ST.
Northern Pacific, rumor has been started
that the ST. Paul & Manitoba company will this
season build a branch road from its
main track at a point about ten
miles southerly from Fergus Falls, via. Dayton
and Breckenridge. That looks as though the
st 2. & M. management considered the Fergus
Falls Wadena road an invasion of its territory.
The newest thing out in the way of railroad
advertising is the beautifully got up bill of
fare for the imperial palace dining cars which
accompany Chicago & Northwestern passenger
trains between Chicago and Council Bluffs.
Meals are furnished on the cars at 75c, and the
bill of fare is quite up TO the standard of first
class hotels, while the wine list is complete.
The bill of fare may be judged from the fact
that it includes seven hot entries, six cold en-
tries,n inc roasts, six games, and pastry and
dessert in proportion.
Intervie,o ,cith Mr.. OaIses of the Northern
Pacific.
T. T. Oakes, Esq, one of the new directors
of the Northern Pacific, and soon to be vice
president under the Willard regime, arrived in
st. Paul yesterday on an official visit. He is
accompanied by Mr.. Anderson, chief engineer
and superintendent of construction. AGLoBE
representative called upon Mr.. Oakes at the
Metropolitan last evening and found an intel
ligent, affable, unostentatious gentleman He
talked freely of the great enterprise with
which he is so intimately connected. Re-
lieved of the verbiage of formal interview,
Mr.. Oakes informed the GLOBE that there
was no intention of making any changes in
the management of the working forces of the
road. General Manager Haupt has five
years contract, approved by the board
of directors, which sets at rest the report that
under the Willard management Mr.. Sergeant
was to be recalled. Mr.. OakeS states that there
was no desire on the part of the company to
have Mr.. Sergeant retire and his resignation
was entirely voluntarily, but having been ac-
cepted the place had been filled in such way
as to preclude his return. At
the june meeting of the board Mr..
Billings resignation of the Presidency will be
presented and accepted, and he will go to
Europe with his family for his health, which
is in very precarious condition. The va
cancy occasioned by his resignation is not
likely to be filled until September, when Mr..
Willard will probably be elected president.
Mr.. Cakes is now a resident of Portland,
Oregon, his position in connection with the
Oregon Navigation company requiring him to
reside at that point. After making his present
trip he will return to Portland to settle his
affairs there, and upon com leting that work
will return to New York and devote his
entire attention to the Northern Pacific.
While the local management will remain un-
changed, Mr.. Cakes will have full charge of
the business in New York, Mr.. Willard taking
no further active part than the management of
the finances of the road. The construction
will be pushed with the utmost rapidity posi-
BILE, and within two years the respective ends of
the road will have so near reached each other
as to make through travel practicable. The
Northern Pacific will be completed with less
debt than either the Union or Texas Pacific
lines.
The projected line from Wadena to Fergus
Falls and beyond will be built by the North
ern Pacific company, contract having been
made last week with De Graft g. Co. of st. Paul
for its construction. This is the socalled
Minnesota Northern, which was IN charge OF
the Corbin banking company, that firm hav-
ing sold the charter outright to the Northern
Pacific company. Mr.. Oakes will go up the
line this evening for limited distance to- in
spect its workings and the country through
whichit runs, and, after visit of three OF
four days, will return to the East. His visits
to st. Paul viii be frequent when he is fairly
in charge.
