Mr.. John Donovan, local agen.
for the |. c., yesterday afternoon az
$3.50 o'clock threw open the doors
of the downtown |. c. ticket Office
and general information bureau, and
is now ready for business. Tickets

Mr.. Donovan received a telegram
from Chicago yesterday afternoon
instructing him to open the Office at
once. He had temporary fixtures in
the building and will use the Office
as ii is until it can be permanently
fitted out.
An architect from Chicago will ar

the building, and will at once pre-
pare plans for the modelling of the
departments. The Offices will be oc-

w. r. Miller, assistant genera.
yardmaster of the local |. c., has re-
signed his position effective at once,
and gone to Mobile, Ala, to accept
a very responsible position. His res
ignation here resulted in the show
ing up OF subordinates in the yard
department. and several deserving
employees get promotions.
Yardmaster Miller has received
an appointment as trainmaster for
the Southern Railroad company, at
Mobile and has gone to accept the
new position. He is an old experienc-
ed railroad man and handled the
east and made numerous friends
local yards admirably. He had been
here several years, coming from the

rise
Miller is succeeded by L. A. Ma
pie, who has been night yardmaster
and Maple is succeeded by C. F..
Gray. chief clerk in General Yard
master G. NJ. Stonebreaker's Office.
Gray is succeeded by Mr.. T. B. Pugh
who has been in the clerical depart
ment of the yardmaster's Office.
This necessitates complete change
ups in the minor attaches, and is ef-
fective at once.
This is the first complete change
up in local railroad circles in sew

FILL STILL SLIDING.
Three Hundred Loads of Dirt Used
Already.

The Caldwell avenue fill, just north
of the last bridge going out to the I.
c. depot is in danger of repeating
its feat of sliding half way into the
hollow performed several years ago.
Assistant Street Inspector Ed Nc
Cormick is stationed at the place
using every effort and means in pre-
venting the fill from sliding any
more and endangering traffic.
The slide began Just after the
heavy rains of last month. II was
slow and slight at first, but has now
widened. Three hundred loads of
dirt have been dumped on the fill
but still 1t is sliding. The dirt slid
fully four feet yesterday and the back
water is nearly half way up the sides
now. II any further rise comes the
dirt will crumble the faster and
sink. The situation is serious and
the constant attention
of the street officials. If the matter
grows any worse it is probable the
street department will order the ave-

 It is not "ready-mixed'' paint. It comes to you in condensed form; the driers. everything necessary in 1t, ex- cept the oil. You buy pure, raw lin- seed oil and do your own mixing. Sure of pure oil that way-not other wise. One gallon of pure raw linseed oil and one gallon of Hammar Con- densed Paint will cover moro ares, wear longer, and give better results than any other paint made.
