thing Good.


The railroad atmosphere was charged
yesterday with gossip of the Denver &
Rio Grande- Rio Grande Western deal,
and all kinds of rumors were afloat
as to what will be done with the local
officials. Only one thing seemed GER
tain, and that was that~no changes of
any consequence will be made for per-
haps several months yet
1t was stated that certain OF the gem
eral officers of the Western would GER
tainly be- relieved whenever the new
management gets ready to WELD the
ak. A generally accepted theory was
that instead of having d traffic man
ager, general passenger agent and gem
eraI freight agent here as at present
a general agent of the freight and pas
senger departments would be ap-
pointed.
This official would report TO the Den
yer offices, where, il is conceded, Presi-
dent Jeffreys of the Denver q Rio
Grande will be the supreme authority.
The Salt Lake man, it is believed will
be given a chief clerk for the freight
department and a chief clerk for the
passenger department, with enough
minor help TO run things in good
shape
H B. Kooser, who is now general
agent for the Missouri Pacific, one of
the Gould lines, is talked of for the

of the Gould corps out here and enjoys
close relations with high officials of the
Missouri Pacific. and is naturally in
line for some promotion of this kind.
General Freight Agent Darrah, who
came from the Missouri Pacific to sue

slated for something good, it being the
policy of the combination to give its
own men the preference when other
