Who owns the Road.

Wall Street Journal.
When c. s. Mellen was leaving the North
ern Pacific road to return to New England
some asked him how he liked the
change. He replied: 81 have just one doubt
as to my making another success in the
East. 1 have been so long up in the North
west and so independent Of the owners and
directors of the properly by reason of my
distance from them that 1 may have grown
little too Independent.
IL have run the Northern Pacific road
just as though / owned it and was the
whole thing. In fact, sometimes believe i
have felt as though l owned it all. Now
shall be reminded, not once a year by an
annual meeting. but about every day that
do not own the New Haven road, and am
just wondering how great the change from
my freedom in the Northwest to a new en-
vironment in New England will be"
President Mellens fears were fully real
lied, for he told the merchants of Boston at
their banquet the other evening that Dos
ton was the most prolific In suggestions re-
garding improvements needed in our rail-
road service of all the places our lines, -
and IT have been favored more by your citi-
zens in the last thirty days than by all the
people in Northwest during the six or
more years L have been with Them.
