MESsRS. DICKINSON, CULLEN AND
HENDRICKS SPEND SOME
TIME TOGETHER
TALK OVER THE SITUATION
WORKING IN UNISON AND FOFb
THE BEST INTERESTS OF,
THE ROAD.
THOSE NEW APPOINTMENTS
The General Manager of the WesfS
ern Portion Says They Amount
to Nothing.

While there is little that is tam
gible to report in the matter of the
Northern Pacific receivership, mat[
ters are so shaping themselves that
keen railroad and business men cam
look ahead and see the final ADJUST
ment of the difficulty which has been
the chief topic in local railroad cir
cleS the past month. The assevera-
tion of Receiver Burleigh some days
ago that he would strain every point
to work in harmony with the other
receivers, and his acts since then
have left no doubt as to the possible
ity Of a harmonious agreement beS'
tween the different gentlemen aps
pointed by the federal courts Burr
lefgh'S appointment of George w.
Dickinson, as general manager Of
the Western portion of the road in
stead of an outside man, the latter's
accepting the general offices of the
entire line as officers for his section
of the road would bear out the
reported statement that harmony
was most fervently hoped for.
1t is said the possible extension
Of the jurisdiction Of Messrs. Me-
Henry and Bigelow by the New
York court tomorrow will still
further insure unity, so that ait
things considered it is not thought
unlikely that before many days tha
counts will get together and take
definite action looking to the preser-
walton of the road as an entity.
Receiver Burleigh will arrive here
from the East this morning, and it
is doubtful if he will lose much time
| in getting back to his own territory
with Mr.. Dickinsin who is still here.
Hon. W. E. Cullen at one time
counsel for the Northern Pacific att
Helena and at present the attorney
for the Montana receivers visited the
general offices of the road yesterday,
and had a conference with General
Manager Kendrick. In the after
noon the two repaired to Mr.. Dick
fnson's rooms at the Ryan, where
they spent soma time discussing matt
ters in connection with the business
of the road.
This was my first meeting with Mr..
new receiver said Mr. Dickinson to
