At Portland.

f. E Ellis has been appointed gen
eraI agent for the Oregon Short Line at
Portland with a staff composed of a
travelling passenger and a travelling
freight agent, a city ticket agent and
a stenographer. Mr.. Ellis will appoint
these assistants from his own selec-
tions.
The duties of the new general agent
embrace business of both the passen-
ger and freight departments of the
road. His selection by the o. 5. l.. is
looked upon as the happiest one that
could have been made. Mr.. Ellis being
a railroad man of long experience and
great ability. He has been in the en-
ploy of the o. r. & n. for ten years
past, having lately been in charge Of
all traffic matters on Puget Sound.
The Western officials have named
Dick O'Reilly, well-known railroad
man, as travelling freight agent for the
northwest. None of the party which
left here several days ago to proceed
north returned yesterday except Gen
eral Managers Dodge and Bancroft
and General Traffic Manager Eccles.
Messrs. Wadleigh and Hahn will still
be absent for some days. General
Passenger Agent Burley is expected
back today.
In speaking of the outlook in the
northwest Mr.. Eccies said yesterday
that the people of Oregon and Wash
ington were delighted with the opening
of the gateway and business continued
to be brought over to the o. S. L. al
most daily.
