With apples, plums and small fruits the
damage is considerable, and if later re-

MELLEN EXPECTED TODAY
President of the Road Is Looked
for to Arrive From the East
News of the Rail-
roads,

The Northern Pacific took over the St
Paul & Duluth road to prevent possible
complications over the ownership of O
considerable amount of terminal proper
ty in Duluth. This is held by the Duluth
and the Northern Pacific Jointly, and to
avoid the unpleasant relations which
would ensue had an unfriendly road Sc
cured the Duluth and it's half interest,
the Northern Pacific was compelled to
take the initiative
This is the statement made yesterday
by a Northern Pacific official who
through his close connection with the af-
fairs of the road, and his participation
in many of the deals which have given
the Northern Pacific its Duluth holdings,
is in position to make an authoritative
statement. Regarding the effect of the
Northern Pacific entrance to the city
with second line, and concerning the
situation there between the different
roads, he said:
mo move in the Northwest in wears
has had the far-reaching effect Of the ac-
quisition of the Duluth by the Northern
Pacific. This is particularly true with
reference to those roads operating be-
tween st. Paul and the head Of the lakes.
The Duluth will no longer be an inde-
pendent line, able to handle its affairs
without reference to foreign matters of
Importance, and becomes only a part of
very great system. Hereafter the road
Will be unable to apply any policy which
could not be applied to the other parts
of the system equally well.
For a great many reasons the opinion
Is general that the transfer will be to
the benefit of the cities at the head of
the lakes, and to the upbuilding of Du-
luth as a great lake port.
THE entire situation between tn. ST
Paul-Duluth lines is changed by the
transfer Where the Dulu was former
