Gate City this afternoon and went TO Port
land by a special train OF four cars. They
Will remain in that city tonight and to-
morrow Will go down the Columbia river
10 Astoria by steamer TO see The salmon
canneries and other points OF interest.
Since the announcement Of the appoint-
ments Of Traffic Manager Hannaford and
Land Commissioner Phlpps. no other selec-
lions have been made by President Win
ter. 1t is believed that he viii make no
other appointments 1t all, leaving TO Gen
eral Manager kendrick the selection Of
general superintendent and his assistants.
and TO General Counsel Eunn the appoint
ments IA the legal department. OF course.
all these appointments will be made with
the approval OF President Winter.
That the president OF the new company
was thoroughly pleased with all he saw
on his visit through this state is certain.
He has said as much 20 the newspapers,
but more to those who accompanied him
from Seattle TO Ocosta. He also expressed
his pleasure al meeting the officials of the
H.. asA 0 hAr~ a
high compliment for ability. Indeed. IL
may be said that Mr.. Winter feels himself
surrounded with a staff OF officials who
are thoroughly capable OF aiding him in
the management OF the property. This
MANAGEMENT. IL is already plain, win be
an active. energetic and personal one. AS
a weil-known railroad man said today, 1t
Is plain that Mr.. Winter will maintain a
close supervision over the management of
tha road which VIII be felt.
No other one department win receive
mere Of his attention than the land de-
partment. That he approves of the policy
pursued by Commissioner Phipps is evil
dsnced by the announcement CT his selec-
ton as one OF his stan. During the
last year and a half the company has had
patented over 100000 acres OF land and
II IS the Intention OF the new company to
nl these up with producing settlers as
rapidly as II is possible.
General Manager Hendricks selection
for general superintendent will be awaited
with interest. The rumors OF wholesale
changes In the personnel OF the manage
m.nt Of the company. which were rife in
the papers at the time OF the announce
mert OF the selection by the reorganiza-
ton managers OF Mr.. Winter for presi-
dent. seem 70 have been ill-feunded, see
ing that many OF the old officers viii re-
tain their positions with the new com-
pany. OF course II II possible that Mr..
Kenarick may vet introduce some changes
Ia the company after y assumes control
OF the read. bat radical course Is not ex-
pected among railroad men from him.
And thsn IL IS probable that he like Mr..
Winter. has realized that the replacing
OF men who know the property like hook
and who have spent years In SIS service.
with new men would be a costly expert
meat.
II Il believed here that Mr.. Winters ap-
pointments are permanent n character.
and they are taken as an Indication thar
there remains no traces % the old dis
cords and frictlon between the east and
the west ends OF the road which grew out
Of the diversified recelvershlps.
