pointed roadmaster of the Iowa Cen
trail, and will act in genaral capacity
having in charge the maintenance and
bridges and buildings of the road. This
was surmised from the fact that Mr..
Shelley recently went over the entire
system, for the purpose OF making an
expert report on the condition of the
roadway and the bridges, and an in
vestigation Wednesday evening proved
that it was fact that the appointment
was to be made.
Mr.. Shelley arrived in the city
Wednesday and was shown about the
property here, also spending part of his
time in becoming acquainted with the
officials OF the road. He is an expert
to be one of the best roadmasters in
the state. He has had charge of the
maintenance and the bridges and build
ling of the Sioux City & Northern and
the Sioux City Western roads for .he
past ten years. and previous to that
time filled similar capacity with the
Illinois Central, at Sioux City.
Mr. Sheeley's headquarters will be il
this city and he will have supervision
| of the work of the entire line. The
present superintendentso maintenance,
Mr.. II. NJ. Farquharson, of this city,
and Mr.. William Osborne, of Mon
mouth, will report to him, and he in
/ turn will report to General Superinten-
dent C. w. Huntington.
Mr.. Shelley is man about As years
of age He will remove his family to
this city from Sioux City in about a
month.
NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
The patrons of the Iowa Central
along the Story City branch of that
road will doubtless be surprised when
the next new time card of the road is
Issued, to see that they are TO have
4 increased train service. and that in
stead of having one train a day over
the branch, and two on Friday they
are to have two each day. Instructions
4 to this effect were made by Acting
/ General Manager Tittemore three
weeks ago, but it was intended that the
4 statement would not be given out until
the company was ready to put the new
ltrain in service.
\ This will be good news for the branch
patrons, who have recently registered 6
complaint regarding the mail service OF
Friday, in particular that they do no
! get a morning mail and the mail in tn,
: afternoon does not reach them in time
to do them much good. The change viii
benefit the business men of this city
also, as it will afford the people along
. the line chance to get to the city
J every day to do trading, if they so de
sire. instead of Friday only. The new
: service. when installed, will be contin-
: ued just as long as 1t can be proved &
/. paying venture. The increased bushes.
of the branch demands increased facil
titles at present and there is no reason
!. to believe but that the present volum.
: of business done will be continued es
: pecially If the facilities for handling i
2 are increased.
I WANT DOUBLE SERVICE ON NEW
TON. BRANCH.
Mr.. Tittemore went to Oskaloos;
! Wednesday evening, where he re
