CUNNINGHAM IS
TRAINMASTER
Depot Master Goes to PocateIIo
to Fill More important
Position.

George ]. Cunningham, for more than
two years depot master at the Ogden
union depot. has been appointed trainmas-
ter for the Oregon Short Line with head
quarters at Pocatello. He will assume
the duties of his new position Immediately
after the first of the year. Mr.. Cunning
ham is one of the besr known and capa-
BILE railroad men In the country and his
appointment comes as reward for strict
attention to the duties OF his position.
the position Mr.. Cunningham has been
appointed TO IS a new one. Prior to the
financial Stringency more than a year
ago the position of assistant superintend-
ent at Pocatello. the duties of which were
Identical with those of trainmaster was
abolished. and has remained so up 10 the
present time. The increase in business
of the Short Line has been such that the
duties falling upon the superintendent
have been greater than one person could
properly attend to. For this reason IT
was decided by the management to create
the office of trainmaster and the appoint
ment of Mr.. Cunningham agreed upon. He
will have direct supervision over the Po-
catello yards and that portion of the line
between Pocatello and Glens Ferry to-
gether with the several branches in that
territory.
Mr.. Cunningham began his railroad ca
reer as messenger for the Burlington.
back about 1873. He gradually worked his
way up through the train service to the
top. For several years he was a passen-
ger conductor for the Northern Pacific.
then went with the Rio Grande as yard
master at Cheyenne and in 1890 was an
pointed yardmaster at Ogden. Two years
ago ne was appointed depot master to
succeed John Heating. and in that posi-
uon he has served up to the present time
MIR. Cunningham's experience made him
a valuable man as depot master During
the time he worked in the train service he
served with and under many of those who
stand at the front in the ranks of the
most prominent railroad men of the coun-
try His promotion will be greeted favor
ably by all those who know him. AT the
same time his removal from Ogden will
be regretted.
Samuel Fowler. for many years night
depot master here, will be placed in charge
of the Ogden depot in place of Mr.. Gun
ninSham, for the present. 1t IS not known
whether or not his appointment will be
permanent

County CIerk-Elect Hopes to
Make Cost Less and e.
fiCiency Greater.

Preparations for turning over the office
OF county clerk to Samuel G. Dye,
county clerk-elect. have been completed.
and Mr.. Dye will assume the duties of the
office next Friday. and it is expected that
within a few months some radical changes
viii be made in the lineup of the office
force.
Any changes that win be made viii like
ly be done with a view of increasing the
efficiency of the force and with a view
of lessening the expenses of the office Ac-
c)rding to the auditors report filed with
the board of county commissioners last
Monday, the expense Of conducting the
clerks office for the past year has been
SllO00, which is said to be greater than
i'm any previous year.
Mr.. Dye will start his term of office
with virtually the same force as are now

few months. Mr.. Dye. ii is said. has in
mind the placing of the office on a strict
l. business basis. engaging his deputies
because OF their qualifications for the po-
sitlOns rather than for influence they may
exert In politics. He has spent some
weeks in checking up on the work of the
office and has fully acquainted himself
with the duties OF each clerk, and as a
result is in a good position to determine

all kinds aud conditions Of people
have acknowledged its sway.
In mythology, it is tabled that
Orpheus moved the very rocks and

present we have no Orpheus, but
music does as wonderful things for
men now as in the past OF all the
great influences that have entered
into the lives OF men TO uplift, en-
noble and inspire, there is none that
has been. and is, more far-reaching
in its effect than the influence Of
music.
We find music in nature wher-
ever We 90; there is music in the
sighing breeze, the singing Of birds,
the roar and crashing of the
thunderstorm and the ripping of
the mountain stream SO. the cult-
vatlon of instrumental and vocal
music develops "a ns keener APP
probation of natures beauties and
enriches our lives.
Music is one of the earliest arts:
no tribe SO primitive but had its
music in some form. The savage
well understood its importance in
his life and we find it in all the
festivities and ceremo les Of his
tribe He had his death song, his
dance, his war song In the latter
was the influence most perceptlble
We see him reused to such a pitch
bv his war song that he is ready 10
dare any deed or even lay down his
life for his cause
Modern ages also bear witness to
the inspiring effects Of martial
music What Scotch Highlander
can quail when the bagplpes are
playing the wild Highland music?
What Frenchman can resist the APP
peals Of duty with the Marseilles
Hymn ringing in his ears? What
American can see a troop march by

best Then the war songs around
the camp fire at night when the
soldiers sing to strengthen their
spirits against the dangers of the
morrow. When Napoleon heard the
troops IN the English bivouac, the
night before Waterloo, singing their
