Back from the East-The Union Pa
cifc Agents to Be Cut Of-Personal
Notes.
General Manager 7. B. Burnett Of the
Los Angeles Terminal railroad returned
on Sunday from visit to st. Louis.
While there he purchased steel rails for
about seventy miles of road, and loco
motives and rolling stock.
Mr.. Burnett stated that the nabobs of
his company, including Mr.. X. G.
Kerens, would be here on or about Febru-
ary 1st.
UNION PACIFIC OFFICES.
The new management of the Union
Pacific is already beginning to make it.
self known in way that will not be
agreeable to many railroad men, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. The Offices
of the company at Fresno, Sacramento
and San Jose have been abandoned and
there was some doubt as to whether the
Los Angeles Office would be maintained,
though for the present no change will
be made in it.
The local offices are far too important
and bring to the company too much
business to render their abolition posi-
BILE. The idea of the new manager is
that the San Francisco Office can take
care of all the company's business in
this part of the country. The offices
named will cease to exist on January
1st, and at the same time the Philadel-
phia, Pa, Offices are to be given up the
agent there being ordered 10 report at
New York. The outside business in
this state will be conducted by travelling
freight contractors reporting to the San
Francisco and Los Angeles offices.
Carlton G. Crane, Pacific coast agent
OF the Vanderbilt lines, is in the city.
John Clark of the Union Pacific, Fred
Thompson of the Rock Island, and
Ticket Agent H. A. Duffin, arrived in
this city yesterday.
