The first official appointments made by
the Rio Grande Western by reason of the
Ogden gateway opening were those
emanating yesterday from the freight de-
partment- Only two promotions fell from
General Manager Dodges hands One
was the naming of w. C. Mcbride as
general agent of the freight department
with headquarters at Butte; the other
was an appointment of equal rank at
Portland. w II. Paul receiving the honor.
- u Mcbride has been in the service
OF the Western for some years, occupy
ing at the time of his last promotion the
position of travelling freight agent. w. H.
Paul has been the freight claim agent of
the road. Both appointments take effect
today and others are likely to follow If
1t is thought the business of the road
demands the presence of other agents in
the northwestern territory.
AS matter of course two similar ap
pointmentS will be made from the pas
senger department but any possibilities
for these positions have not yet been
mentioned. General Passenger Agent
Wadleigh began his campaign in the new
territory yesterday morning when, by
Geographic arrangement there appeared
in the newspapers of Portland, Butte,
Helena, Anaconda and Boise of even
date, a half page advertisement of the
fact that the Ogden gateway was open
and the Rio Grande Western was out for
business. The inquiries already received
by the passenger department from in
tending travellers at Logan, Pocatello and
other points to the north gave good indi-
cations that there are many teachers in
those sections who want TO use the West
ern for their eastern visits Attention is
also being directed to the change in the

Slavin is Easily Beaten.

San Francisco, May 31.-Frank Slavin

with Joe Butler. of Philadelphia, be-
fore the California Athletic club to-
night.
When time was called. Slavin rushed
at the colored man and punched him
with his right over the heart Butler
squared himself for the next rush and
met Slavin with his left in the face.
Slavin forced the colored man about
the ring, swinging his right and left,
after the fashion of the sweeps of a
windmill. Butler caught the Austral-
ian on the jaw with right swing and
the latter fell forward, clasping his
opponent about the waist and both
fell to the floor and rolled over, with
Butler on top.
Referee Billy Madden pulled the men
apart and Slavin arose in a dazed con-

Australian falling full length on his

of the S. l.. Action.

Omaha, May 31.-Speaking of the open
ing of the Ogden gateway and the effect
on traffic arrangements. General Manager
Dickinson, of the Union Pacific said: Il
cannot predict what the effect will be and
l do not think any one can at this time.
There will probably be conference at an
early date between Union Pacific and
Short Line officials to make such traffic
arrangements as are necessary by the
change. lASA
This will be no increase of course. and
the opening of the Ogden gateway will
simply mean that business will be divided

General Passenger Agent Lomax. of
the Union Pacific said that whatever
changes would be brought about by the
opening of the gateway he was as yet
unable TO state. The change would be
more important TO the freight than the
passenger department.

Burlington said:
Its rather good news for the Burling-
ton. The effect will beto let us into the
territory of the Short Line from which
we have been excluded in the past. In
stead of having but one route through to
