The Northern Pacific has contracted
with E. Fl. Bly,, first proprietor of the
Sheridan house at Bismarck house
noted among Northwestern tourists for
the excellence of its accommodations
for the erection and management at
Glendlve (the present running terminus
of the Northern Pacific) of companion
hotel, the hotel to be built and opened
for business this fall. Mr.. Bly, is now
with Gen. Haupt, general manager of the
Northern Pacific at Glendive, to select
location for the hotel and arrange for it's
immediate construction.

Mr.. G. K. Barnes, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific road, made
his first visit to Duluth (the zenith CITY,
the city of the unsalted sea, and the fu-
ture Chicago of the Northwest, etc.,
trip via Brainerd. The trip was thor
oughly enjoyed, but he is free to main
tain, that he saw more Indians, blueber-
ries and raspberries, while going from
Bismark to Duluth, than he ever saw be-
fore in his life. Duluth he found full of
life, and indications pointing to rapid
and healthy growth for Minnesota's only
lake port.
Mr. G. A. f. Morris, for many years the
chief engineer of the st. Paul s. Pacific
road, now the ST. Paul & Manitoba, and
in fact the man under whose direction
that line of road was built, has received

Oregon Navigation company, of which
Mr.. Henry Willard is president. This ap-
pointment is high and deserved compli-
lures the assertion that no more oompe-
tent gentleman could have been selected
for the position. Mr.. Morris and wife
will leave for Portland, Oregon, their
future home for some time at least, On
Tuesday next. While regretting the loss
of citizen so highly esteemed as Mr..
Morris, the GLOBE congratulates him
upon his appointment, and also congratu-
lates~the great corporation with which he

Among the passengers by the Northern
Pacific for Miles City, Montana, last
evening, was Hon. w. A. Burleigh, of
Yankton, D. T. Mr.. Burleigh is one of
the pioneers of Dakota and Montana,
having settled in Yankton, D. T., years
in advance of the railroads, and being
the second representative in Congress
from the territory. His business rami-
fications as citizen of Y ankton extended,
as the country developed, throughout the
whole section Of the country traversed
by the Upper Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers. In the meantime
the Northern Pacific had been
extending its iron arms into the country
tributary to Yankton by river, until Mr..
Burleigh found himself as citizen of
Yankton, cut off from trade he had
helped to create, and true to his frontier
instincts, he transferred his business to
Miles City, though still retaining his resi-
dence at Yankton. Mr. Burleigh is most
enthusiastic in his comments upon the
future of the country traversed by the
Northern Pacific, which he pronOunces
the finest in the world, but is free to ex-
press the hope that he may sometime call
himself a citizen of St. Paul, the grandest
young city land with the most promising
future, as he declares, on the American
continent.
