STEVENS MAY BE PRES-
' IDENS OF BURLINGTON
Portland Telegram
The retirement of Daniel Willard as
vice-president of the Burlington is look
ed upon as a move that will give James
J. Hill juet the place h- wants John F,
Stevens to fill. Willard has become
president of the Baltimore & Ohio.
Hill took Stevens away from the New-
York, New Haven & liar ford last June,
and made him his personal and confi
dential adviser in the matter of future
extensions for the Great Northern and
Burlington. No definite executive title
was conferred on Mr. Stevens, bpt he
asin reality consulting epgineer for
location and construction of new lines.
His salary in this capacity is required to
be $35,000 a year.
Stevens' first coup came when he took
charge of the Oregon Trunk Lipe, of
which road he is now president. To
various friends in Portland, Mr. Stoveris
has stated that he did not expect to
make his headquarters in Portlond per
manently, but would stay here until the
organization of the Central Oregon line
has been perfected. It is not generally
believed that President Stevenp will re
main here much after the middle of
next Summer, when it is expected the
Oregon Trunk main line will be com
pleted, so far as now under construction,
and that such feeders as may be needed
to protect the Hill interests will have
been taken care of.
The official denial of the rumor that
Darius Miller to succeed George B.
Harris as president of the Burlington,
will in jjo way interfere with the plan to
put Mr. Stevens in tho place recently
vacated by Vice-President Willard. At
the same time tho change may not take
place for some months. Mr. Stevens is
now in the East.

ington Union shall purchase tile entire
output of grain bags from the state and

allow the different locals to do their own
buying.
Success of cooperativo grain ware
houses the past Benson makes it proba
ble that action will be taken to build
more this Spring for handling this sea
son's crop. Talk among the delegates
today waB almost unanimously in favor
of extending the string of farmers' ware
houses throughout tho Inland Empire
BesolutionB favoring tho parcels post
and opposing President Taft's proposal
