Sherwood Appointed Master Mechanic.

As predicted by the VOICE a
week ago, A. Sherwood, foreman OF
the Santa Fe round house at this
place, has been promoted 10 the posi-
ton Of master mechanic Of the Pan
handle division. A bulletin to that
effect Was posted in the round house
Saturday. The promotion will
take effect Tuesday, August l.
Its not yet known who will sue
coed Mr.. Sherwood as foreman, but 10
all probability, Machinist Will Hart
will BIZ honored with the position.
The promotion Of Mr.. Sherwood is
a deserved one, and is due to his
ability. Mr.. Sherwood began his
railroad career 10 England, his native
home, where he learned the machin-
lists trade. When he first came 10
America he engaged 10 railroad cou-
Lractihg and followed this business
for three years. He was made fore
man ui the erecting shops in Topeka
In 1856, and held that position uut !
February, 1897, when he was sent 10
Wellington as foreman Of the round
house To succeed G. T. Neubert, now
master mechanic at Arkansas City.
Mr.. sherwood has worked his way
up 10 the railroad world solely on his
merits. He is a man well liked ly
the officials OF the road as well as b,
the men under him. He gives his
whole attention to rallroading and is
seldom seen elsewhere than business
calls him. As master mechanic, Mr..
Sherwood will devote his time largely
to travelling over the division and
overseeing the work Of the several
rOundhOuses on the division. His
headquarters will be in Wellington.
1t is announced that resi-
dent engineer will be appointed by
the Santa Fe for Wellington, effective
when the new division superintendent
lakes charge. This is another good
plum which comes with the appoint
ment Of a division superintendent.
Just W 10 the appointee will be, is not
known at this time.
The plans are now being prepared
for erecting large Santa Fe stor
aye house and oil house in The
railroad yards here. They will
be completed before winter
The old store house and oil
house are too small in view Uf The
contemplated mprUvementS On thi;
division.
Plans for enlarging the round house
by the addition Uf twelve new stalls
have been in readiness for some time
and it is expected that work on j
