Bic is NAMED.
Becomes General Storekeeper of
Santa Fe.

The rumor that n. N. Rice, store
keeper of the Santa Fe coast lines, had
been appointed general storekeeper or
the whole system. with headquarters in
Topeka, was confirmed to day by a cir
cular received at the general offices.
This appointment. which has much
mystery about it, has been puzzllnS
local railroad men for the past two
weeks. A short time go W. z. Hodges,
general purchasing agent of the Santa
Fe, abolished the position Of general
storekeeper. which was at that time
occupied by A. F. Hilton, Of Topeka.
He then divided the work Of the STORE
department between Mr.. Hilton and Nj
Rice. putting the former in charge of
the lines east of Albuquerque and the
latter in charge Of the coast lines and
giving each Of them the title of store
keeper. This move was mysterious, but
the climax came when it was rumored
that the position of general storekeepel
" as to be re-created and given to Mr..
Rice Some people think that Mr.
Hodges preferred Mr.. Rice for the po-
sition. and took this means Of getting
rid Of Mr.. Hilton.
The circular which was received to-
day does not announce Mr.. Rice's ap-
p0intment, but that of W o. Young
Quist as his successor The circular is
signed by \. NJ. Rice, general store
keeper" and is approved by w. p
Hodges, general purchasing agent
This is sufficient evidence to convince
the most sl1eDtica1 that M Pice's ap-
pointment is a fact. but the reason for
the change IS yet a mystery.

OF the estab l1shment at somewhere near
hundred thousand dollars. He is
very reticent about his building plans
and did not want to discuss them for
publication. He says he is bothered to

his present facilities as he has orders

an equal distance in ten minutes and
uses only two men. The large yard
south of the present plant is covered
with the litter of building and heavy
