il engineering. He was formerly
superintedent of bridges and build
ings and his promotion to assistant

soon as relieved. He states that he
goes with great roget on many ac-
counts, having formed ties of an en-
during nature in this city which has
been his home for ten years.

in high terms of the regard in which
M. Wilson is held by employees and
the general public.
The Fargo Forum says: Among
the employees generally on the Dakota
division there is the most profound
regret expressed over the news that
Mr.. Wilson is to leave the N. P.
A After service on this division Of
upwards of ten years he has greatly
enoeared himself with all of the men
from the highest to the lowest and it
is universally conceded that the divis-
ion was never in so high state of
efficiency as it is today, tile track is
in first class condition, in fact the
same may be said of all the buildings
and equipment which come directly
under the supervision CT the superin-
tendent.
The Fargo Call says:
Considerable regret was express d in
this city by employees OF the company
and others over the news that he was
to leave the system. Mr.. Wilson has
been a general favorite with the men
in all classes of the service all of
whom are sorry to have him leave.
File leaves the division in excellent
condition and it is not saying too
much to say that the efficiency of the
service at the present time is as near
perfect as conditions and the de-
mands upon it an possibly allow.
