Third 60 Go 20 wabash.
When d. o. Ives goes to the Wabash
August 1, he will be the third high on
cial taken recently from the Burlington by
the wabash. The Burlington always has
been considered a good training school
and Burlington officials have been able to
take high positions on other roads. F. A.
Delano, first vice-president Of the Wabash
was formerly general manager in Chicago
Of the Burlington. Henry Miller, general
manager of the Wabash, was general super
intenGent Of the Burlington at st. Louis.
Darius Miller is the man who will have
the naming of a successor to Mr.. Ives and
II he has decided upon man for the place
he has not announced II. There was a
rurnor that Fred Montmorency was slated
for the position, and the Commercial club
has endorsed A. B. Smith for the place.
Both are and have been in the general
freight ONCE Of the Burlington for some
time. II Miller sent in an outsider it
would cause no surprise locally.
