MIR. vnLARD's SUCCESSOR.

Robert Harris, Vice-President of the Erie,
Elected President of the Northern Pacific.
New YORK, Jan. 17-At the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, to-day, the special committee appointed to
consider the question of a successor to Henry
Willard, reported as follows:
'''The special committee appointed by you at
your last meeting to recommend what action
should be taken by you relative to the vacancy
existing in the Office Of president of the company,
after giving the matter their most careful consid-
Grafton. have unanimously decided to nominate
to you Robert Harris, at present viee-president
of the New York Lake Erie & Western Railroad
Company, to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Henry Willard. Your committee are
satisfied from the well known reputation of Mr.
Harris as railroad manager, and his
intimate acquaintance with the re-
quirements of Western roads from his
long connection with the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy, that his appointment will be accepted
by the shareholders and by the public generally
as an evidence that the management of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company will be in
the hands of an executive officer capable of de-
veloping the property and securing for the stock
holders returns to which they are entitled"
The report was accepted and Mr.. Harris unan-
imously elected. Mr.. Harris thanked the di-
rectors and assumed the duties Immediately.
A st. Paul, Mimi, dispatch says tie principal
officers of the Northern Pacific were interviewed
this afternoon in regard to the new president.
The feeling seemed to be one of satisfaction. 1t
is considered certain that no changes in the
heads of departments will result.

box cars. The full force of upward of six hun
dred will be set to work at once, and reports
from other car manufacturing companies indi-
cate that they are soon to have plenty of work.
A i this is cumulative evidences of better times
ahead of us as regards not only commerce and
manufactures, but also as to transportation. If
railroad men had not faith in the future, they
would not go largely into the purchase of rolling
stock, materials, etc. A prominent railroad
man, of Pittsburg in a talk with reporter of
the Railway Reporter stated that within his own
knowledge contracts for 5000 freight cars had
been placed with different concerns within
week, and he knew OF many more to follow,
Nine thousand freight cars at the average price,
$500, represent an investment of 81 500, 600, the
consumption of a vast amount of raw material
and manufactures, and employment for a large
number of skilled men for considerable time.
The gentleman furnishing this information took
a very hopeful view of the outlook in general
and of railroad business in particular He thinks
when the reaction from the present period of de-
preston does set in, it will come with such a
rush as to carry US almost as far to the opposite
extreme, and result in something like the re-
vival of trade in 1879.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The traffic manager of the Laclawanna line
has instructed his agent at Boston, Mass, to
take no new business until further orders.
The freight carried by the canals of New York
in 1888 reached s. 40, $50 tons, an increase over
the previous year of 30S 207 tons The receipts
of grain and -four, the latter reduced to grain
during the past season of navigation, was A. :
220, 908 bushels by canal and 3S,414, 203 by the
railroads.
The converting of the T., G. & St. L., road
into standard guage is said to be entirely in
the minds eye of Receiver Craig. The Boston
capitalists do not propose to put any more money
into it unless there is some certainty that they
will receive something ON the money they have
already spent.
B. c. Pole, of Philadelphia, Pa, has perfected
an appliance for starting cars which will be of
incalculable benefit to street railway companies.
A small wheel is located just behind and in
close proximity to each of the large rear wheels
of the car, and so connected by rods te the pro-
pelling power that whenever the latter is applied
the smaller wheels are brought as levers against
the rim of the larger wheels, thus removing the
primary leverage from the center or but Of the
wheel, where it is now applied and increasing
its power many fold.

Views of Vanderbilt on the General Business
Situation.

Interview in New York Times.
4''There are railroads enough for the business
of the country, and probably more than enough
People run wild on speculation. They are not
satisfied with making money in the legiti mate
way as they used to be. The losses in the heavy
depression seem to have fallen mostly on rich
men. Things will brighten up and come out all
right in time. Reputation is worth more than
money. l find have to be watchful to keep up
the confidence of the people. After get conf
dence l want to keep it. Suppose I had induced
people to put $50, 000,000 500, 000, 900 into a
railroad, only to find it was not half done then
never would hear the last of it. These things
make me think more than ever that no one does
or thinks oftener right than the general public.
Public opinion hastily formed is often incorrect,
but 81 We it time and it will work out all right.
There is one thing do not like to see and that
is government bonds selling at 125. They draw
per cent, but the premium reduces it to 3. There
are not securities enough which the people
have confidence in to go around. There is talk
about getting up government per cent. How
many such bonds would man have to possess
to live on! The government is paying off the
debt too fast. / was in France when loan was

who only know how to do few things, and those
poorly. In such a contest the weak go down
and are trampled under foot. We can think of
nothing more wretched than the condition of
some poor girl in large city without home or
friends seeking for something to do Find it at
home, among those who know you, and know
what you can and cannot do. Learn to do some
thing, it matters not what, better than any one
else There are abundant opportunities on the
tarm-ten chances here for one in the city. Look
into the average farm house and see what
worlan's kingdom is and what work awaits her
Farm you thoughts to things near you,
not far Off If you have no taste for household
work, if you can make of il nothing but the most
tiresome drudgery, hire some drudge to do 1t, and
devote yourself to the bees, or to the garden or
go to the dairy and learn all you can about it.
There is a mine of undeveloped wealth in the
dairy. 1t ought, on the small farms. to be the
pride of of the women of the household Instead
OF trying to design carpet patterns to sell at $40,
try to make just such butter as sells at fifty,
sixty or eighty cents You can do it, Do it.
Then every woman might have a small piece of
ground in early berries fruits which your
neighbors do not raise, but will in time buy of
you, especially if you live near a small city or
even village. Next there are the chickens
The world IS elamoring for more chickens and
fresh eggs. Supply this want. In this way you
can earn money enough, and more than enough,
to pay for the house girl, and employ man to
as well as your hands, for naturally YOU are bet
ter managers than men. But, whatever you do,
do not come to town in search of employment
1t is bad for the boys to come, but it is worse,
far worse, for the girls. Again, we say, stay at
home

COL. BENNETT II. YOUNG.
He Tenders His Resignation as President of

He Tenders His Resignation as President of
the L., n. A. & c..
Col. Bennett H. Young yesterday rendered his
resignation president of the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago road. 1t is understood that
he will remain in charge for the present, proba-
bly, until the annual meeting on Feb
A. The resignation is voluntary on
the part of Col. Young, himself
and his friends thinking that under the present
circumstances this was the wisest course for him
to pursue. There is good authority for the
statement that this does not place E. H. Stahl-
man, late traffic manager, in the
front as candidate for the
presidency, and that the position viii be given
to a New York man, who is now director. A.
B. Southland, by general consent of all the direc-
tory, is to remain in charge of the traffic depart
ments. The financial condition of the company
is said to be such that it will require the most
able management to avoid serious troubles The
road is said to have last year fallen 1920 900 be-
low earning its operating expenses and fixed
charges A considerable amount of money!
however during 1888, was expended in improve
ments to roadbe and equipments which was
charged up to operating expenses.

expenses, without mentioning fixed charges.
Where any sensible man see any money in
building thisparallel road is mystery. Officials
of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road
have been approached by the parties working up

upon the whole scheme as a fraud, and he thought
no sensible business man would aid such a
project

Low Rates Changing the Methods of Lumber

Railroads are rapidly doing away with the use
fitness of the rivers for rafting logs and the
shipping of lumber by water routes The build
ing of railroads to penetrate the tract or per-
haps a sawmill in the midst TO convert the tim
Der into lumber, which is shipped direct to mar
ket by rail, has become as valuable as if they
were located convenient to some great lumber
center This latter-day phase of the lumber
business, it is thought by some will seriously af
feet the milling interest ON the rivers, The low
rates at which the roads are carrying lumber
tends to entirely change the methods
of handling the lumber traffic of the
country. The arrangements of Northern
and Northwestern lines seem to take in
the situation, The managers Of the Chicago,
st. Paul & Omaha and the Chicago, Milwaukee
d st. Paul railroads are extending their lines
into the heart of the Wisconsin pine region-a
fact which shows that they have a lively appre-
citation of the great change that is going on.
Arrangements of Indiana, Illinois. and Ohio
roads are the alert, and new alliances for
handling the lumber of Michigan and placing it
on the markets in the States above mentioned
at the lowest rates are being formed. and rates
to day by all rail are lower than the cost of
transportation and handling lumber when ship
ped by water and rail routes as formerly.
