Northern Pacific Complications
Being Straightened.
John II. Egan the Compromise Ulaii
He Has an Enviable Record
Throughout the U.S.
Many A&Drliains will remember Mr. John
M. Eagan, the St.' Paul railroad manager
who wias here in the city a few months
ago and who was appointed by the court
In Portland receiver of the Oregon Short
Line, but whbse appointment was not
conflrmed by the court In Utah, Mr.
Eagan Is well known througlhout tho
United States as one of the abtast rail
road managers in the country. He Is now
lllcery to become one of the receivers ot
the Northern Pacific. In speaking of the
matter the Chlloago Tribune says:
With the view of keeping the expenses
of managing the affairs of the Northern
Pacific railway within reasonable limits
the reorganization committee, It Is said,
favors the appointment of not more than
thiree receivers for the entire system.
and John M. Eagan may be one of them.
Several of the members of tho reorganiza
tion committee and their attorneys, are
now on their wiay here for the purpose ot
reconciling the differences between the va
rious courts in the West, and to get them
to unite upon three receivers in the In
terots of the holders of the bonds secured
by the second and third consolidated
mortgages.
Messrs. Burleigh and Galloway, who
ave been appointed receivers by the
United States courts of Washington and
Itfa.tK, are satisfactory to the bondholders
and will no doubt be retained. A new
nan has lately been suggested as a most
suitable man for receiver, one who would
gve satisfaction to all concem.jd, and be
better qualified to unite with the other
bww receivers In the manigvmcnt of the
property tman any one else who has thus
far been suggested or named. It is John
M. Eagan, formerly president and general
manager of the Gbfcarro Great Wet era
railway. Mr. Eagan has be.n connected
with the management of railroads in the
Northwest for many years and is conald
ered one of the best and a hi ant railroad
managers In the country. He is a man ot
high standing and undoubted honesty and
integrity. .
About nine months ago Mr. Eagan was
appointed receiver for Wre Oregon Short
Lane and Utah Northern, but as the bond
holders of that road failed to fulfil the
conditions imposed by the United States
court of Utah that road reverted back to
the Union Pacific and Mr. Eagan was not
given a chance to qualify. Mr. Eagan's
appointment as one of the receivers ot
the Northern Pacific would prove a hnooy
solution of existing complications, and he
wouM in every way be qualified to take
active charge of and conduct the opera
tlon of the road.

, One Of the visitors 1A Astoria, for the
past V ew days has been Mr. B. P. Michel
son, who represents the San Francisco
Examiner, and niho Heft last night for
Vtctota, B. C. ;
Yesterday aftarnoon, in conversation
with Postmaster Wise and several mar.
chants, Mr, Mldhclson suggested thialt by
proper efforts, it might bs possible to get
better mall service between Astoria ana
Ban Francisco. One suggestion led to
another, but it seemed to be the concen.
sua of opinion that Astoria needed and
ouRiht to have better mall service.
The San Francisco mall arrives In Port
land about 8 o'clock In the morning, and
of necessity lays over there all day, as
all Of the boats leave for Astoria at
o'clock, and of course Astortams do not
receive their 'Frisco mail until the fot
lowing morning, being brought down by
the nlghlt boats. Notw for the past two
or thiree weeks, on account of (heavy
freight tranic, the day bouts have been
leaving Portland quite lute In the morn.
Ing, sometimes not until 9 o'clock, and
yet they have arrived in Astoria by
o'clock is the afternoon. Nine-tenths ot
the commercial travel 1s on the nlgbi
boats, and It Is suggested that the morn
ing boats out of Portland might Just a?
'ie)!l muke their leaving time, euy a'
(:30, and not only accommodate the trav
eling public as well, but in meat case
better, as 7 o'clock, particularly in the
winter, is a very early hour to start on
Journey. If this arrangement was mode
the San Francisco mall wouia oe receiveo
In. Astoria the same day on which K it
received in Portland and In time for It
to be answered by the returning ot
of the same night. Thto means a rtuvlng
of 13 hours on mall each way betweer
Astoria and San Francisco, and wouk!
enable an Astoria merchant to-Avnlts s
Mtter to San Francisco and receive a re
ply 24 hours sooner than under the pres
ent service. '
tt Is to be hoped that 'Postmaster Wise
wltt take this matter up with the depart
ment with a vlow to bettering the ser
vice and also It rwas urged that he mukt
an effort to secure a mull service sever
days in the week. Astoria Is on the ew
of a great smorovement and growth lit
