Railroad men In La Grande are agog with expeetatlon, wondering If their erstwhile neighbor, General Superin tendent M. J. Buckley la to land the cuHhion left cold suddenly yesterday morning by J. P. O'Brien, until to date general manager, of the Harrlman lines In Oregon. Buckley's host of friends in La Grande are more than anxious that "Mike" get the deserved promotion, being next In line to O'Bri en In the Harrlman official family, and then too. If Buckley lands the Job; there will be numerous promotions 1p La Grande. On the theory that Buck ley is named bs general manager, As sistant Superintendent Connel would Btep Into ' Campbell's shoes as su perintendent, while the latter took the Buekley seat. J. P. Matheson, train master at this point would be slated for Connel'a Job, and from other lo cal officials probably J. H. Watson would be filled the local trainmaster's Office. That In turn would leave the division foremanship open, meaning 9 boost for someone, probably Ed Thom as, present round house foreman. O'Brien has gone to the S. P. at rlHco. taking- the plnee of K. K. Cal-i vln, who goes to the Illinois Central, in turn sending Handrahan to New Fork, The Telegram says of the sort i f man wanted to take O'Brien's place: What Harrlman now needs In Ore- ton is a "Billy" Herrln or a Dan Spen cer, who can soothe away popular In dignation or" obliterate political oppo sition with soft words and a pleasant smile, and It Is Juat such a man who will be picked from the Harrlman service to succeed General Manager O'Prien In Portland. So far as the management of the Northwestern lines is concerned, Mr. O'Brien has whipped them Into such shape that they could Just about run themselves for year." to come, so that Harrlman may now feel free to give attention to the politi cal supervision of his Interests in Ore-' gon rather than to 4helr practical su pervision. No Intimation as to vvho will be Mr. O'Brien's successor here, whether hi j iiv uunciirci to lilt- executive, lenal. traffic or operating department here Is to be had. It is more than likely he will not have any title at all, but will be Harriman's political agent, with such mysterious duties as have only recently devolved upon Paul fhoup, who left the orflce of assistant gen eral passenger agent of the S.
