According to a statement made by a
we'll informed railroad man, the per-
sonnet of the Union Pacific official de-
partment, after the reorganization, so
far as concerns the heads of depart
ments, will be as follows:
For president. S. II. H. Clark. This
statement is made with full knoWl-
edge OK the statements which have
been made by MI Clark and others IN
connection with his illness and all other
matters. It is said that he VIII De
asked TO take the place for a time, at
least, in order to get matters SNAPPED
ont.
For vice president and general man
ager. Edward Dickinson. This is re-
garded as settled. Dickinson has been
with the road a long time. ana mas
proven himself to be a man thoroughly
titted for the place. His appointment
will be looked upon with great deal OF
satisfaction. He will have for ms as
sistant T. NJ. Orr, whose well known
signature has appeared on so many
documents during the years which nave
flown. Orr knows, perhaps, more OF
the detail Of the road than any man
connected with it. He has been a faith
full servant all these years, and when
any changes took place, Tom always
was retained, because, forsooth, the
new man could not get along without
him. His duties have been arduous all
this time, too, and he has been one OIL
the over worked people on the line
Orr's health is not so good as 1t was
when he first began, but with Vdca-
ton, change of scene, there are years
OF good work in him yet, and he would
be q valuable man; too valuable TO
lose. His new position would be such
as TO give him a chance to exercise
ability without being drudge, ard
such a selection would be greeted with
appreciation by all railroad men.
Lomax viii be retained in the pas
senger office, because LOmaX is another
servant oe the road whose hair has
turned from brown to gray While ad-
vancing it's interests. LomaX is a keen
man. always alert and on the lookout,
ard from the time he came to the
Union Pacific to act as assistant 10
Jack Tebbets, who was little better
than q stick, his services have been
constant and valuable.
buckingham will retain his position
as superintendent OF car service. be-
| cause he has all the work at his fin
ger ends and knows more about cars
/ than any man could learn in i've years
service with the road.
| Mcconnell Will be retained as super
| intendent oe motive power ana ma
| chi2ery.
1t is stated the road will have new
! purchasing agent, i'll the person OF an
eastern man from the Boston & Maine
who stands il with the new manage
mert. Ard in this connection it is
declared that with the change Will come
something for the better in the way OF
! improving the roadbed, shortening sornt
of the magnificent distances which oc-
cur in Wyoming, by taking out some Of
those long sweeping curves put in tt
avoid small grades, and by replacing
some of the lighter steel with heavier
! on some OF the divisions where fas
running can be INDUCED in.
The new management is COINS to at
tempt to make the road a paying one
from the start, and 10 this end is golnt
to shorten time on passenger trains be
tween ogden and Omaha, and do ant
perform several things which will i'm
prove the efficiency of the line.
