Mr. Miller is just home from the east
after a month spent in visiting a
number of the big cities on the coast
ana spending some days in his old
nome in FairmOnt, W. Va, after an
absence of eighteen years. Discussing
ms resignation last evening. he said:
i have been With Saltair ever since
ITS inception, and have moved up from
one position to another till I became the
general manager last year L have no
intention of boasting. and perhaps it
is IN bad taste for me to mention the
matter at all. but last year is the first
in which Saltair paid a profit. In the
six years before, it either produced no
revenue or actually ran behind The
net income last year was $4,000. but
part of this was used to meet the de-
hcit of the year before, so that the net
profits as given out to the public were
$4,000
Mr.. Miller would not speak of his
plans for the future. There We're three
good openings awaiting his decision,
and he thought that he would accept
the one that would keep him in Salt
Lake, but he was not at liberty to
speak of it further.
Mr.. Miller stated that he had no in
formation as to who would succeed him

Logan Man to Manage SaItair
Beach This Season.

The manager of the SaItair Beach
for the coming season will be Mr.. Nc
Alllster of Logan, son-in-law Of Presi-
dent Lorenzo Snow, according to the
information that was given out yester-
day by a gentleman who is very close
TO the Saltair company. The news will
be a surprise TO the many who had
made up their minds that George ID.
Piper was to hold this important posi-
ton. 1t is understood that Mr.. Pyper
declined the place.
II is said that the selection of Mr..
McAllister VIII be ratified by the board
OF directors before the present week is
out The directors adjourned after their
last meeting subject TO the call of
President Snow. and the understanding
is that the president viii call the meet
ing in a day or two to decide upon the
new manager.
Charles w Miller. who managed Salt
air last season, rendered his resignation
to President Lorenzo Snow within the
past three days. and although no ac-
ton has yet been. taken upon it by the
Saltair directors, MIR. Miller was as
sured that the resignation would be
accepted. No reasons will be made
public for this step, except that MIR.
Miller states that he has other plans
in view. and does not desire to manage
the lake resort another year.

New York. March 27-The Evening
Post says: Burlington and Northern
Pacific shares We're strong and active
today on the revival of the reports that
there would be d lease of the BurIing-
ton by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways. No official con-
firmatiOnaof these reports could be OBJ
tanned today and important stockhold-
ing interests in the Burlington denied
having information that any offer had
been made for the Burlington here It
may be said that neither the Great
Northern nor the Northern Pacific di-
rectors have considered -such a lease
or terms for taking over the Burling-
ton. A strong effort is under way how
ever, TO secure control of the Burling-
ton and to turn it over to the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern. These
proposals originate with President j.
j. hill and the negotiations are entire
ly in his hands. Whether he will be
successful in inducing the present man
agement of the Burlington to accept
ms proposals remains to be seen. It
is believed that Mr.. Hill is prepared to
DID high cash price for the Burling-
ton, TO lease it at a specified guar
anteed rental or to exchange the stock
for new bonds-as the Lake Shore and
Michigan Central were acquired by the
New York Central. In such negotia-

vantage OF owning heavy amounts OF
