The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-22
In RAILWAY CIRCLES
Mr.. Ritter Made Superintendent
Of the Utah Division.
THE LATE CIRCULARS ISSUED.
Other Appointments Made, but Not Yet Ready
For the Public-What VIII The
Harvest Be?

As was stated by THE HERALD would be
the case, Mr.. w. w. Ritter, late superinten
dent of the Utah & Nevada and Salt Lake
and Western, has been made superinten-
dent of the Utah division of the Oregon
Short Line s. Utah Northern, with head
quarters in this city. The appointment
was made at a late hour on Monday, and
the gentleman at once entered upon the
duties of his new position. Yesterday
morning, in company with James Sharp
and Road Master Doremus, he left for a
general tour of inspection over the Utah
Central; the other lines he is
perfectly familiar with, of course
Just before his leaving, Mr. Ritter
sentative, but he could give no informa-
ton as to any appointments than his own
His division, he said, included all the lines
south of Ogden; the lines north were
known as the Idaho division, and those
east as the Wyoming division. Asked
As TO THE EFFECT
the move would have upon the four offices
at present running here-the Union Pacific
Utah Central, Utah & Nevada and Salt
Lake & Western-the gentleman replied
that he was unable TO state positively. He
was certain, however, that the offices now
used by the last two named would be closed
just as soon as the business would admit of
it being done. "As for myself he said,
Il move my quarters to the Utah Central
depot, where l shall feel much more at
home than up town. 1t is too early vet to
say whether the present clerical force will
be increased or diminished"
There is scarcely doubt, however,
that a decrease will be made-nO more,
however, than is absolutely necessary
under the circumstances.
While all approached yesterday We're
Theoretically sealed on the subject. there
can be no doubt that other local APP
pointments than those of MIR. Ritter and
Mr.. Cumming have been made, and they
will be announced in due time. Its under
stood that Bishop Sharp is a high official in
the consolidated company, but his rank is
yet to be learned. 1t might Just as well be
stated here that in assuming his new duties
Mr.. Ritter meets with no opposition from the
reuiring officials of the Utah Central; on
the contrary, he has their good will and
hearty support.
