A Northern Pacific Director says the
appointment OF Gen. Anderson ae SEQ
ond vice president has ne particular
Significance. The company has for 6
Officer on the Pacific coast. This IL
necessary, for the company's interests
there are growing very rapidly. Assist
ant General Manager Buckley, who has
hie office 81 Portland, has charge OF the
operating department. on she Western
division, and has NOS the necessary time
az his disposal 10 look aftsr other mat
teFs. This Gen. Anderson will do. He
will, Of course. continue ct the head Of
the construction department.. The con-
stEnction work with the completion Of
the Cascade division will be pretty we'll
over, and the general will then havs
more time at bis disposal. Mr.. Williams
continues IS vice president, for the
company needs such an officer In New
YORK 20 sign pagers, etc. Ia she absence
Of the president.
A New York correspondent, writing Of
Wall street doinRs last week, says: The
increased interest shown in the Northern
Pacific Is to be traced 10 the fact that
the directors OF this company have at
last walked up to the fact that they oan-
not afford to be too independent Of
three or four other companies with
which they are pretty closely associated.
The Northern Pacific has only Just paid
tts way, aud is now going on spending
money and issuing new bonds, and ell
the time acting as II the Oregon Rail
way q Navigation we're of no account
The company found out les mistake
during the war Of rates last year, when
the Oregon demanded as much for ths
use OF It's short line as the Northern Pa,
cine got for its long haul over she "A oun
tains. Nov, when il hnds the Oregon
Iransc0ntinentai antagonistio, aud lia.
bic at any time TO lease the Oregon
Navigation the Oregon Short Line, and
thus R,vs the Union Pacific the through
line which the Northern Pacific has fol-
three years controlled, she directors be
gin 10 see that IL is not worth while q
ignore the allies whom they have re
PEELED. Therefore at the meeting YES
terday the committee on the Oregon 4
Unconstitutional settlement and ths
Preston Navigation lease were revised
and there will be q stronger effort 4
settle both questions.
