Number Of Yard Men WIN Not Change.

Master mechanic r. III, Hickey of the
Idaho division of the N. P. road, was in
the city Wednesday evening. He an
nounced that the change of freight divi-
sion would not affect the number of men
employed in the round house and yards
here. There will be one engine less to
take care Of at night but the help re-
quired for that purpose in the past will
be retained to work on the passenger
coaches. The coaches have need better
care at this point but extra work on
engines has prevented MIR. Nichols, yard
boss, from giving them the proper atten-
ton. The change of freight division
will be made the first of next month.
Passenger trains will continue to run on
the present schedule.
