TO SEE Mr.. BURLEleH.
THEY WILL GO WEST TOGETHER
ON AN INSPECTION
TOUR.
GREAT BUSINESS OUT WEST.
The General Western Manager
Talks About His Dual Posi-
tiOns.

Attached to the regular overland
Northern Pacific train which arr
rived here last night at o'clock was
the private car of George w. Dickt
inson, assistant general suprerint
tendent of the road, and in a short
time Mr.. Dickinson, who is accomf
panied by his wife, was registered
at the Ryan hotel. The purpose of
his visit to st. Paul at this time Isl
he stated last snight to a Glob e
reporter, to meet Receiver Andrew
F. Burleigh, who will reach here
from New York tomorrow morning
and return with him to the West,
making an inspection of the portion
of the line over which his juriSdic-
ton as receiver extends. Mr.. Bur-
| leigh, he says, has never been over
any but the main line, and is anx--
ious to post himself as to the man
ner In which the affairs of the road
are being administered Mr. Dick
inson chatted freely enough about
general matters, but was inclined to.
be cautious in speaking of the COM
plication arising out of the appoint
ment of the numerous receivers.
THE road is being run in the most
harmonious manner on all hands, and
business is steadily Improving" he
SAID. ON the west end of the line,
just as on this end, we have had a
capital wheat crop, the yield of WASH
lngton and oregon alone approximate
ing l should say from 100000 to
900 bushels, and the fruit crop in
the far West is now beginning to be
an important factor. We have been
shipping immense quantities Of lumber
and shingles, while large portion of
the TIA brought to this country by
steamer is shipped East over the North
ern Pacific"
Have you been instructed to es-
tablish a separate system of reports
and accounting for your portion of the
line?'
about the first of the month Re-
| ceiver Burleigh for Washington and
| later Receivers Hill and Bonner. of
Montana, made me general manager
| Of that portion of the road over which
they had jurisdiction, but am work
| ing in perfect harmony with Mr.. Ken
| drick, and I think that all the. officials
| of the road are straining every nerve
to keep things in line until some def
| mite action is taken which will relieve
| the situation ,4.z
ITO whom do you report, Mr. Dick
| inson?"
."As assistant general superintendent
| report to Mr. Kimberly, but as gen.
| eral manager of the west end of the
line, west Of the Eastern boundary of
Montana, 1 report to the receivers, and
to Judge Beatty, in Idaho, where as yet
no receiver has been appointed"
Being asked for the probable solution
of the present trouble he stated that in
his opinion any theory he might ad-
vance would necessarily be in the
nature of a surmise, and anyway he
the federal courts.
NOTHING NEW LOCALLY.
There is little to add that is new in
the Northern Pacific receivership stu
alton. Receiver McHenry was seer
and stated that there had been no new
developments, and it may possibly be
news to him that Mr.. Burleigh will
be back here tomorrow morning. Gen
raj Counsel c. w. Bum, of the road
is in New York, where he will confer
with Judge Turner, of the firm ot
Turner, Mcclure & Ralston, which
represents the Farmers Loan ant
Trust company, of New York, plant
ifs in the mortgage foreclosure pro
ceedings against the Northern Pacific
The bill in this case was filed in Mil
, waukee, so that the court of that city
, has primary jurisdiction and it will
, have to be filed in nine other courts
of ancillary jurisdiction, including tn,
New York court.
