IRON MOUNTAINS
 NEW DIVISION.
Not ice Given Tn Official Circles of New lDivision to Become
 Effective March First.

Effective March 1, another division will de added to the Iron Mountain Railroad between St. Louis and Little Rock for freight runs, Hoxie being the headquarters of the newly formed division The new division will be from Hoxie, Ark, to Piedmont, Mo, a distance of 99 miles. It will have 240 miles of track. A number of men will go from the Arkansas division to Hoxie to take runs on the new divi- sion.
 Trainmaster w. s. Hobbs of the Arkansas division has posted a notice to trainmen and conductors wishing to work in the new division to file applications with him. Under the agreement with the brotherhood orders two thirds of the men will be taken from the Missouri division and one third from the Arkansas division. The mileage taken from them is eighty miles from the Arkansas divi- sion and 160 miles from the Missouri.
 The new freight division will be added to the Missouri division, which jurisdiction will be extended to Hoxie, giving 226 miles on the main line. The new Hoxie division will be as follows:
 Main line, Piedmont to Hoxie, 99 miles.
 Doniphan branch, Neelyville, Mo, to Doniphan, 20 miles.
 Cairo branch, Poplar Bluff to Cairo, "A miles.
 Dexter branch, Dexter to Grays Point, 37 miles.
 Total, 24O miles.
 After March 1, trainmen and con- ductors on freight trains will run from Little Rock to Hoxie on the north end instead of to Poplar Bluff, which has for many years been the stopping point. At Hoxie a new crew will carry the train to Piedmont, where another crew will take it into St. Louis. This cuts the main line mile- age on the north end from 179 to 119 miles. Now the north end run is the longest on the Iron Mountain system.
 As third of the freight conduc- tors and brakeman for the new divi- sion will come from this division, there will probably be good many move from Little Rock to Hoxie dur ing the next two weeks.
