New YORK, Jan. 5.--The following is
the text OF the complimentary resolutions
to Willard, which were adopted by tho
Northern Pacific Board OF Directors;
Resoired, That the Directors OF the
Northern Pacific, in accepting the resig-
nation OF Henry Willard as President, de.
sire to express to him their deep sympa.
thy in his severe illness, their regret
at the causes which have brought
about his resignation. their appre-
citation OF his great energy
in pushing the enterprise to a
successful completion as u trunk line,
and their sincere hope that he will soon
be restored to his health and prosperity.
Resoired, That in view of the fact
that Willard, during his presidency, vol
uutarily received no salary whatever,
the Treasurer is directed to pay him at
riod in which he had that office,
Wizard has been President OF the com.
pauy for about two and one-half years.
There is the best authority for stating
that Endicott took to New York from
Boston S3,000,009, with which to
take up the floating debt of the Oregon
Transportation Company. lie has used
this money for the purpose named for
one year, and it has been subscribed to
save a higher interest which, it is said,
the bankers who now hold unsecured
claims against the company have been
charging. The Boston confidence in
Endicott has inspired a stronger local
feeling about Oregon securities.
