BURLEIGH WILL GO 1T ALONE.
VIII Not Wait More than a Few Days
for a Unified RecciycrEhip.

Portland. Or. Dec 80. The Oregonian
says that the Northern Pacific receiver
ship will probably reach crisis soon aft
or the beginning Of the ucwsyCar unless
the Eastern courts speedily agree with
Judge Hanf0rd regarding a unified set of
receivers for the entire system. 1t is
learned on what appears To bc good au-
thority that Receiver Burlcigh has given
the Eastern receivers to understand that
he will take complete control of the prop
erty within his jurisdiction sometime
next month if the courts do not agree in
the meantime. This means that Mr.
BurIeigh viii appoint his own general
officers to manage the property within his
jurisdiction. who viii not report to the
present genera! office at st. Paul.
1t is impossible to gain any nfOrma-
tion regarding Mr.. Burlcigh's plans fur
ther than his determination 10 operate
the road entirely independent Of the St
Paul Offices. This means. of course,
that he will not work in thorough har-
mony with tn" Eastern receivers and also
that Judge Ianford has grown tired Of
treating with the Eastern Judges for
unified reCcivcrsEip.
Il means. too, that Mr.. BUrleigh con
siders himself in position 10 force mat
tors 10 an amIcahie conclusion. He is a
sole "cccjycr for the property in Oregon.
Washington and Idaho and one Of three
receivers in Montana.
