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. FARMERS UNION HOLD ING BIG CONVENTION Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 16.
