Mr.. Geo. W. Cross, superintendent of
transportation of the Northern
Pacific road, was busy at work
yesterday afternoon endeavoring to dis
pose of some of the work that had accum-
mulated on his desk during his brief visit
to the East. He said he had noticed in
some of the newspapers that he had struck
big bonanza while in the East. He had
struck no bsnanza at all. He had resigned
his position on the road on account of
hard work and due regard to his health
He leaves the road with the esteem
of every officer of the corporation. He
does not propose to leave st. Paul but to
engage in business right here. He felt
confident he said that st. Paul Is to be
a very large city. His private interests
are very extensive here and he proposes to
devote his time to looking after them. In
the East he met large number of gentle
men whom he found to be greatly interest
ed in Dakota and Montana and large
amounts of capital and money would come
out here this summer and be
invested. Larger emigrations by the
Northern Pacific are expected this year
than was eser before known. a large part
of those who come out will come from the
Eastern and Middle states, and are good
active, thrifty, successful people. Mr.. j
T. Odell, superintendent of the Dakota di-
vision, will supersede Mr.. Cross about the
1st of April. Mr.. Cross speaks of his sue
cessor in Office in the highest terms
as an accomplished railroad man.
and one that will be found wholly up to
the requirements of the position. The
strain on Mr.. Cross health is the only rea-
son for his resigning, and he leaves the
road with the pleasantest relations with
all. He says he has got all the glory out
of railroading that can come to him, but
| no bonanza vet.
