ing's position has been that of assistant
general superintendent. He has had
charge of the western district. with head
quarters at Spokane. His advancement
viii result In his removal to ST. Paul The
telegram containing the information Is as
follows:
President ]. j. Hill. Of the Great North
ern railroad. issued a circular today an
nouncing that Russell Harding had been
appointed general superintendent in place
Of J. NJ. Barr, resigned. Mr.. Bars new
position is with the Norfolk and Western
road, with headquarters at Roanoke. Va
The position is regarded as much more de-
sirabls In several particulars than the one
held with the Great Northern"
The other assistant general superin-
tendent OF the system, In charge OF the
eastern division, IS located at St Paul.
Local officials of the road do not express
any opinion as to who Mr.. Harding's sue
Cessor at this end viii be. Ii is not likely
that Mr.. Winter will be moved out OF ter
r.tory that he has a thorough acquaint-
ance with. and the likelihood of advanc-
Ing anyone out OF the Western territory
is still further removed Mr.. Harding 5
successor will probably be some official oc-
