N. P.'S NEW POLICY
DISSOLUTION OF MERGER TO BE
OF LITTLE EFFECT.
Burlington Men Will BE Given I'm
pOrtant Positions In Executive
and Operating Departments--
Another Shake-Up Is Expected
soon.

Tacoma, March 2l.-A special from
st. Paul to the Ledger says:
The real significance of Friday =
shakeup of Northern Pacific officials,
resulting i'll the appointment of H. J.
Horn as general manager and many
important changes, becomes clear in
statements believed to be reliable that
the first series of appointments is but
the beginning of an important reorgan-
ization, and will be closely followed
by second equally important one
Back of all the changes lies the merger
decision and the beginning of new
Northern Pacific policy-that of I'M
mediately terrifying itself against the
result of the Securities company s
wreck.
The retirement of Thomas Cooper to
the land department does not necessar-
lily mean that Mr.. Cooper has not made
good record. He was not general
manager when he was appointed, and,
although an exceedingly able official,
lacked experience in the trying work
he was called upon to perform. Mr..
Elliott's opinion Of Mr.. Cooper is
clearly and approximately expressed
in the statement that he will keep him
at headquarters to advise him and to
help direct the management of affairs
under the new policy.
Mr.. Horn, on the other hand, is an
experienced and weather-worn operat-
ing official, who has been against the
game and knows all its tricks.
Merger to Remain in Effect.
The real significance of the changes
is that the Northern Pacific is rapidly
placing itself in such a position that
no matter what becomes of the actual
tiles of the Securities company, the
subrosa effectiveness of the merger will
remain. Burlington men will take
important positions with the Northern
Pacific, and the executive department
and operating department will be adj
ninistered under such control that
whether the Securities company reap
pears in new form or never reappears,
the Northern Pacific and the other
merger lines as we'll will be able to
say: eve have obeyed the law; there
is no illegal merger There will not
be, yet the merger will exist as before,
and the actual handling of affairs Of
the systems will be as under the merger
No Reduction in Rank.
Mr.. Cooper's transfer is not a reduc
ton in rank and carries salary equal
to that received as general manager
He will be more than land commits
sioner, in that he will advise with Mr..
Elliott on matters of opera lion. 1t is
considered probable that he will be
given supervisory authority over inn
portant subsidiary companies. He
will be one of Mr. Mellen's men who
will not suffer in the changes. The
report that all of Mr.. Mellen's appoin-
tees are to be reduced in rank or let
out is hardly correct 1t is stated and
is not denied that many of his appoin-
tees will he affected in the changes,
yet the changes are not directed against
Mellen men more than othres. H. A..
Fabian, one of Mr. Mellen' most trust
ed officials and secretary, continues as
Mr.. Elliott's secretary, with important
additions TO his authorities and duties.
