DESERVED PROMOTION.
The railroad service furnishes many
examples where true merit wins its way
to the front in the face of many obsta-
cles. A striking instance of this ia the
recent appointment OF Mr.. F. A. Healy
ae general freight and passenger agent
and auditor of the Santa Fe, Prescott
and Phoenix Railway company, with
headquarters at Prescott, Ariz.
Mr.. Heely commenced his railroad
career in 1879 as Office boy in the audi
tors office of the Santa Fe railroad at
Topeka, Kan. His superior officers ct
once recognized his ability and soon pro
noted him to responsible positions.
From 1884 to '88 he held the position Of
assistant chief freight clerk of the A. I.
and s. f. railroad, with immediate eu-
pervision over nearly 200 clerks. When
Mr.. @. II. Whitehead was appointed au-
ditor OF the Southern California Railway
company, Mr.. Healy was made chief
clerk, and has been in this city for the
past five years, where he has made
splendid record as courteous gentle
man and frst-class all round railroad
man.
Not only in railroad circles has Mr..
Healy been appreciated, but he has won
dietinction in social life and among the
secret eocie ties to which he belongs. AT
present he holds the position of deputy
supreme regent of the Royal Arcanum
and the president of the National
Union, two of the strongest social and
insurance organizations in the city.
Mr.. Hesly leaves for Prescott Satur-
day, wherd he will get acquainted with
his new duties and finally move there
with his family about June 1st. He will
leave the service of the Santa Fe com
pany with the best wishes OF all the
officials andEemployes, and host of
friends
