ladder in his profession. This time
it is H. v. Platt, formerly with the
Oregon Short Line at Pocatello and in
Salt Lake City, but in recent years
with the Southern Pacific at Los An
geles. Mr.. Platt will succeed r. II.
Ingram as general superintendent of
the southern lines of the Southern
Pacific, Oct l. Mr. Ingram has re-
signed but as to what he intends doing
is not known here.
Mr.. Platt has friends throughout
this and neighboring state for the
term general rallroader" could fit no
one more snugly than it does him.
While in Salt Lake he became known
in Idaho and Wyoming and every ac-
quaintance was q certain friend. He
was agent for the Oregon Short Line
here at the start of his career in rail-
road circles He went to Salt Lake in
similar capacity and in 1903 was ap
pointed trainmaster. Becoming super
intendent of the Utah division of the
Oregon Short Line not any great length
of time, later he assumed a big Office
for after April !, 1904, the Utah division
of the Oregon Short Line was namt
applied, not only to the Utah lines. bu

as McCammon and to the main line 0
