Change OF Divisions.

It is reported that the G. 7. Railroad
will soon fall back to the old divisions,
making the Salt Lake division from Og-
den 20 Wells. and the Humboldt diyis-
ion flon Wells to Carlin, rs formerly.
This will give us u new Division Super
intcndent who, We learn, is n gentleman
named Muir. Of Los Angeles. The
Company has become convinced that
the present divisions are too long. and
no doubt the change will enable trains
to make better time than they have been
doing for months past.
