General Passenger Agent Parks wiz

The railroad editor of the New Orleans
Picayune occas lonslly gets good item.
and uses it. but 1t often happens that
young man dreams. then the item is not SO
good. He has made several guesses at
changes which were to occur, and thcsee
suesses have proved to be founded on
fact, so much So that they were used
by other papers. His last guess is hardly
one that will give him a position as a
prophet. as he has gone wide OF the mark.
In the Thanksgiving Day issue OF the
paper the railroad editor says: There
was a great deal OF whispering about the
general Office OF the Southern Pacific yes
terday evening, consequent, so II was
stated upon the promotion of Mr.. Parks,
aud while none OF the representatives
cared to talk to reporters about it, there
seemed pretty we'll defined belief that
Mr.. Parks would be removed to this city.
taking here the place made vacant by the
departure OF Mr.. Morse to Houston. II
this is the plan of the Southern Pacific
company, to give New Orleans general
office, there will be no little satisfaction
felt by the public generally at such a
move
1t can be said upon the authority of
Mr. Parks and that OF Mr. Morse that the
general passenger offices Of the Atlantic
system OF the Southern Pacific company
will not be moved to New Orleans. The
offices, clerical force books files des|ts
aud everything pertaining thereto have put
recently been transferred to this city,
and upon arrival here the clerks were
transferred from Mr.. Morse's department
10 thet of Mr. Parks. Mr. Morse retain :
ing but two or three on his personal staft.
lit is not likely that the expense of re-
transfer would be horne soon after the
first removal. especially as the employees
have just moved their families to Hous-
ton The removal to Houston was made
at time when the quarantine laws kept
the boys in camp several days. and this
would not have been done had the intsn-
ton been to retransfer.
