sided. During the thirty years Of Fis
railroad career Or. Dickinson has seen
service on but three roads, the Atlantis
Sc Great Western, the Union Pacific ard
the Northern Paeifc. He entered he
employ OF the Atlantic &. Great Western
as boy in Cleveland in 1888, and in lSs2
Pacific.
In his position as assistant general SUI
perintendent or the Northern Pacific, Mr..
Dickinson has become widely known all
over the Northwest and the North Paclfc
coast. He has always been a typical West
ern man. and thorough believer in the
future greatness OF the country which he
has helped TO build up. There are few
large enterprises in the West. and narticu-
larry in Washington. that he has not had
a hand in promoting. or at leas; in assist
ing at the beginning. In many OF these
he has spent his own money, believing that
in the development Of the country through
legitimate business enterprises the road
with which he was connected would De
benefited. In common with many of the
men who make UP the business element
of the West. he has not proff,ed by all OF
his investments. but this is due to causes
which did not arise here nor were they
to be controlled by local conditions. He
looked steadily and hopefully toward the
future. and bent his energies to the ac-
complishment of the tasks that lay d.
rectly before him. Among the business
men OF Seattle. Tacoma. Portland, and in
al the large cities Of the Northwest. the
news that Mr.. Dickinson is TO be no long
er associated with the management of the
Northern Pacific will be received with
genuine regret and a feeling OF personal
loss.
Il can be automatically stated that there
will be no other changes in the Northern
Pacific than those already outlined by the
