the most important missions in recent
years, said to involve the sale Of all the
land owned by the Northern Pacific west
Of the Missouri river. The purchase price II
given at $4,000, 900, and it is understood
that this sum viii be used to retire pre-
ferred stock.
The purchasers Of this land are said to
be eastern capitalists, who have perfected
q syndicate and who will undertake to en-
courage settlement and cultivation of the
land by eastern farmers, such as are now
heading westward in the homeseekers'
movement each week. President Mellen
has always been disposed to sell this land,
as several millions of acres have already
been disposed Of, but could not find pur-
chaser with sufficient capital to take the
whole amount.
The retirement Of the Northern Pacific
preferred stock, much Of which is in the
hands Of the stockholders OF the old or.
ganization, with funds thus realized will
have the effect Of creating handsome sur
plus Of earnings over the present divi-
dends, which may be diverted to various
sources in the liquidation Of bonds, Of in.
