A basket OF champagne and glasses soon
appeared, and when all had been served
General Warren proposed toast To
the Old and the New-the outgoing Su-
perintendent and the incoming one. May
tx good feeling that has existed between
the former aud the employees OF the Mon
tana Union be continued under his sue
cessor." 1t was drunk with enthusiasm,
and Agent McCaig of tn, Northern Pacific
being called upon, made very felcitous
reply, in which he referred to the difficulties
with which they all knew MIR. Dick
inson had had to contend, and the success
that had accompanied his connection with
the road. He referred to Mr.. Law in ell.
logistic terms, and hoped the feeling in the
past would be carried into the new man
agement.
Superintendent Law corroborated the
statement that he had known Mr.. Dickin-
son for the last sixteen or seventeen years
and assured the employees that SO long as
they did their work as well for him as they
had done it for his predecessor they could
be sure he would retain them. 1t is gener-
ally said new broom sweeps clean, but he
was no new broom. He Jaw many faces
present whom he had known in his past
railroad service. He had known Mr.. Dick
inson's brother Ed and was better &C
Quainted with him, but it was a charac-
teristic OF both OF them that they always
wanted to know what time it was, and
were ever ready to ask what the Governor
of North Carolina said to the Governor OF
South Carolina. This caused q general
laugh and the glasses were filled again.
Mr.. Dickinson said he wished to'correct
an error in regard to the Montana Union
that it's facilities were too weak. There WAS
no road in the United States or Europe on
which 65 per cent. of the freight must move
every twenty-four hours. The stoppage OF
q single day in this threw 5000 men out OF
employment. He had put the road i'll
working order and it was now able to
handle all the business the Anaconda I ON
pany wants. He maintained that the acci-
dents on the road were fewer and less
serious than en- any one that handled it's
immense traffic, and for that they had to
thank he employees. He proposed the
toast: Here's to the boys"
The guests present responded with
enthusiasm. Then followed success
sion OF calls upon various OF the en-
ployes OF the road, who all replied in the
same strain OF regret at parting with Mr..
Dickinson, showing the sincerity OF their
feelings by the heariiness with which they
wished him prosperity in his future under
takings.
With vote OF thanks to Messrs. Mantle
& Warren for the use their spacious rooms
the meeting separated.
