City division of the st. Paul & Omaha road

visit in st. Paul.
Mr.. Herbert W. Smith, late train dispatcher
of the st. Paul & Duluth road, has been en-
ployed in the same capacity by the Northern
Pacific company, and is stationed at Brainerd.
Omaha company is the big one. It's all "big."
One nice feature of it is that it promises pur-
chasers of fair week round trip tickets time to
visit st. Paul and the lakes.
The Winnipeg Southwestern Railway COM
pany of Manitoba has been reorganized under
auspices favorable to the Duluth & Winnipeg
company, and also to the early construction
and connection of the two roads.
Mr.. 7. NJ. DAILY, cashier at headquarters
for Northern.Pacifc Co., has been appointed
agent for the company at Jamestown,
OAK, in place of Hobart, resigned. and will

The old Manitoba depot, at the foot of Wa
couta street, which has to be moved shortly
to make room tor business block, is to be
hauled to the neighborhood of the freight
houses, and will be used for telegraph and
train dispatchers' officers.
J. J. Everest, travelling agent of the Mil
waukee & St. Paul road, Mr.. Tichenor, trav-
cling agent of the Wabash road, and W. K.
Smith, travelling agent of the Missouri Pa
cific road, we're in st. Paul yesterday, on busi-
ness despite the hot weather.
The national association of general passen-
ger and ticket agents is to have its next semi
annual meeting at the Southern hotel, st.
Louis, Sept. 20, when the special comnitte OF
five will report on rules for transportation Of
baggage and the coupon ticket committee of
fifteen is also expected to report.
1t was reported last evening that at a con.
ference yesterday between the principal off,
GERS of the Northern Pacific and st. Paul g.
Manitoba companies. an arrangement was
agreed to under which the Northern Pacific
company VIII OOCaln ample space anu Iaclll-
ties In Minneapolis for freight depot and yard
purposes.
Mr.. R. T. Flournoy, general agent of the
Lumber line, returned yesterday from con-
cludng an arrangement with the Green Bay
& Minnesota road, which extends the supply
field of the Lumber line to Stevens Point
Among the letters awaiting his return was
one stating that the Shell Lake Lumber CON-
pany's mill was started Saturday noon. This
is new mill, on the North Wisconsin road,
twelve miles above Cumberland, and Is calcu-
lated to cut rs, 900 feet of lumber day. An
other letter notified him that r. L. Downing,
of Kearney, Neb., was coming here this week
to buy 1,50O, 900 feet of lumber for his yards.
1t was unoficially but correctly announced
yesterday that j. B. Power, Esq, will Thurs.
day, enter upon the duties of land commiss-
ioner of the st. Paul & Manitoba COM
pany. Mr.. Powers experience of ten
years at the head of the Northern Pacific land
office, and his success In attracting purchasers
and settlers to northern Minnesota and Dakota
has undoubtedly recommended him to the st.
Paul & Manitoba company; and its great grant
of agricultural lands, in Minnesota and near
the market, will afford him good opportunity
to enlarge his well founded reputation as q
successful railway land agent.
