Downing has long been known as the

agent in this territory. Mr.. Downing
has large clientage among the WOOL
buyers of the east and his thorough
knowledge Of the business In addition
to his protracted operations In this ter
ritory gives him decided handicap over
all corners.
Undoubtedly he will be swamped
with congratulations this evening when
the news OF his appointment becomes
known, as he Is very popular here and
has large circle OF acquaintance who
will be glnd to learn that such a good
fellow has got bis just deserts, and
that Salt Lake has again been honored
In the selection to fill an important
office.

nected with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul In this city In the capacity Of
commercial agent since Nov. /, 1884,

The reason Of the mysterious visits
GJ. A. Munroe freight traffic manager
Of the Union Pacific. TO Salt Lake at
stated intervals during the past two
weeks was explained yesterday when
he succeeded in finding L. L. Downing,
commercial agent Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, In town. The Har-
riman lines are about to create a new
Office and they wanted Mr.. Downing for
the position. II did not take the MIL
waukee man long, according to reports.
10 make rp his mind and the result was
that he wired his resignation to his
superior officer, +. A. Nash, general
western agent Of the Milwaukee at
Omaha yesterday afternoon.
The resignation goes into effect Oct l.,
on and after which date Mr.. Downing
will have charge OF all the wool bus-
ness for the Union Pacific and its con-
nectlons. the Oregon Short Line, the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company. just what
bic title will be is not at this time
forthcoming. The main point. however,
has been decided and that Is that he
VIII receive salSry very nearly twice
Y large as that ne has been getting
fFpm the Milwaukee, and he was one OF
Tie best paid commercial agents that
make Salt Lake their headquarters.
The Hartman lines for the past few
vars have been concentrating efforts
ID the direction OF handling the major
tsrtion OF the wool that originated in
nsr territory. As the output this sea-
na from Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Ore
On and contiguous states has been
ovS 100000 pounds It can be readily
~ that the wool business Ia essen
ury the biggest thing In the west for
suioad to look after.

Markell For State Bank Elk
aminer.

Mr.. John U. Markell, of this
city, it is almost definitely stated
will be appointed State Bank Ex-
aminer in place of Col. w. f..
Griffith.
The selection of Mr.. Markell for
this position is said to be part of
a plan for the re arrangement Of
federal appointments for Mary
land, the name of Mr.. Aloysius
Bowling, Congressman Mudd's
choice for subtreasurer, having
been wiped off the slate. So far
as at present arranged many of
the present deputies to the federal
offices in Baltimore will be pro
vided for, although the appoint
ment of Mr. Malster to the naval
Office will necesSitate a general
shifting around. Mr.. Gable, the
present naval officer, will become
Mr.. Masters deputy; ex Senator
Dick, who is thus crowded out of
that place, will become deputy
surveyor of the port, and Deputy
Shearer, who makes way for Mr..
Dick, will succeed Mr.. Markell in
the office of the collector of inter-
nal revenue.
Mr.. Markell is well qualified
for the position, having for eight
years been a trusted employee of
the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank of this city and during that
time filling every Office from dis
count clerk to cashier. His APP
pointment will give much gratiti.
cation to his many friends in this
city as well as deserved recog-
milton for his political services.
