HOPED TO BE UNTRUE.
Impression still Prevails Ms to Removal to
Valley Junction.

Valley Junction.
The impression still prevails, not
outstanding the assurances that
have come to the contrary. that the
division changes to be made west OF
Rock Island on the c., X. 1. X p. will
not be advantageous to the west di.
vision train men residing here, and
every day anxious inquiry is made
as to the authenticity of circulating
rumors. The matter. like all others
eifecting railroads, however, is one
the exact effect of which cannot be
definitely ascertained. There
are those who fear that
the charge will involve the
running of crews first in first out of
Valley junction, for this condition
would simply mean the removal oil
the west division train men families
from this city, and perhaps the di-
vision master mechanics headquar-
tiers as well. But this is all mere
surmise. 1t is simply certain that
the division terminals at Brookly n
aud Stuart are to be abolished, and
that there are to be but two divis-
ions in Iowa, east and west of Valley
junction. but this is all that j.
known.
Beyond this it is best to look on the
hopeful side, and t, trust that
Rock Island will get the best of the
contemplated change, rather than the
worst of it.
