Cured Monday evening about 8

next Sunday. TrainmaSter Hobbs is
one of the most capable on the system
and his appointment to this position
of added Importance will be met with
the general approval of all who are
in a position to know the conditions.
At st. Louis it is learned that there
will be no change at the home office
of the company with the exception
that Vice President Clarke, who has
heretofore been designated vice presi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific-Iron
Mountain system, will after next Sun
day be known as the vice president
of the Missouri Pacific system. Gen.
elal Manager Sullivan and Assistant
General Manager Higgins titles will
be changed to conform to the new con-
ditions, as will that of General Passen-
ger Agent II. c. Townsend, Freight

Chenery and all officials who have
had jurisdiction over both the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Iron Mountain will

no way affect their duties.
All locomotives bearing the name
of the Iron Mountain will be changed
as fast as they go into the shops. and
all advertising matter, stationery, etc.
will drop the Iron Mountain Route as
has heretofore appeared
To many the change in the name of
the railroad, which has done SO much
for the state, will come as a distinct
disappointment. When Pine Bluff

made next Sunday is one which comes

TED with the movements and affairs of
the company agree that this will be
