Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, April 20.-Loolsing to-
ward the fuliiilment of the plans of the
Great Western to run thru from Omaha
to Oelwein and from Omaha to Hay
field, and vice versa, the conductors
weao have been running from Fort
Dodge east to Oelwein and north to
Hayfeld. are being sent out In charge
OF the trains running west to Omaha,
and the conductors of the Omaha di-
vision are taking the runs north and
east to Hayfield and Oelwein. This Is
done in order that the men may be-
come familiar with the whole stretch Of
road to be taken into their runs at the
time OF the extension OF their runs.
The first move in this direction was
made this morning. when Conductor
Robert Campbell, who has been run
ming on the Omaha division, took No. 4
east to Oelwein. Conductor Crabtree,
who has had this run. went west in
charge Of No. to Omaha. Conductor
ROPER, who has also been running
west, will run east.
The time set for the change is May
1st. at which time it has been the in
tentIon OF the Great Western TO move
its division point to Clarion, and all
or practically all of the railroad men
from Fort Dodge to Omaha. Clarion,
Oelwein and Haytield. The railroad
men will probably go at this time, but
owing to the fact that the depot at
Clarion will not be completed at that
tinle, the division officers will probably
remain in Fort Dodge for some time
after that date. II it is decided that
they shall go at all. The stone masons
have just completed the foundation OF
4he depot at Clarion, and the brick
work began today.
