UYRAM TO GET NEW PLACE
Report Names Him as Burlington
Assistant General Manager.
ABLE LIEUTENANT FOR HOLDREGE
Candidate was Formerly at Lincoln
and IL Man Of Wide Experience
in Railroad work-wilInrd
behind Move.

In the line OF recent appointments OF di-
%rectorsi OF operation made on the Chicago,
Burlington g. quincy railroad, comes the
report from Chicago that H.. H.. Byram
has been named as assistant general man
eger Of the lines west Of the Missouri river.
This means the creation Of a new office
In Omaha as George W. Holdrege, the
general manager, has never had an as
sistant.
Mr.. Byrarn is extensively known In Ne
braska and over the Burlington route west
Of the river. He made good. especially in
this work in Nebraska, by his appreciation
Of the demands Of the travelling public,
He was general superintendent OF the Ne
braska district, leaving the capital city to
become assistent TO Daniel Willard, sec
ond vice president OF the railroad. Prior
to his connection with the Burlington
route he was with the Rock Island lines
and previous to tina was connected with
the Great Northern railroad.
He is about 40 years Of age. He be-
gan railroad work at Galesburg, III.
color is given to the Chicago report by
the recent visit to Omaha and Lincoln and
the tour over the western lines by Vice
President willard. Immediately after the
ICLQIn VI 4AIs NAiLAh ~ Alt w AAhg CAg
the appointment of w. w. weidenhamsr
was ANNOUNCED as division superintendent
at Alliance and the succession of f. G.
Robbins to Mr.. Weidenhamer's place as
division superintendent at Sterling, Colo.
Extension Means New office.
Owing to the rapid extension OF the Bur-
lington lines into the west and increased
business and necessity for more directors
Of operation It was generally conceded
that an assistant would be named for MI.
Holdrege In his Omaha office. There was
some speculation as to the man and the
candidates were said to include Mr.. Byram,
George w. LOOMS Of Omaha and w. w.
Troup and Edward Bignell of Lincoln.
The reported appointment of Mr.. Bryan
is traced Indirectly to the recent tour of
Mr.. Willard. The latter is In general charge
OF operation of the Burlington lines and it
is known tina Mr.. Bryan has made good"
in the Chicago offices. In seeking an assist
ant general manager an operating man
would be most likely to receive considera-
ton, and Mr.. Bryan Is thoroughly edu-
Gated and experienced In this line of rail-
road work. No hint is given as to his
successor.
Considerable construction is now under
way on the Burlington lines west Of the
river. One Of the most important branches
is to Thermopolis and Shoshonl, Wyo. I'm
portant building is also under way at Sheri-
dan. including the erection Of a Lyw depot
Mr.. Holdrege is at present in Wyoming
and is not expected to return to Omaha
until Monday or Tuesday. Just when the
appointment Of Mr.. Bryan is to take effect
is not announced.

from here to GAINESVILLE, Ohio, are
said to have gone into business for
themselves in Cambridge, Ohio. Mr..
Murray's family may go from here
little later to Ohio.
Our town representative, Lewis
M. Seaver, pays his fellow legisla-
tor of the last session, the late
John l.. Bacon, the same high tri-
butte as man that the public gen.
orally seems ready to pay. Mr.. Sea-
yer was in Maine when he heard of
Mr.. Bacons death and the news was
a great shock to him.
Our own town probably does not
differ materially from many other
towns of it's size in the state, but we
do think we have notable list, as
we recall the past, of daughters
who have been beautifully loyal, in
their devotion to parents, one or
both, in their old age. We are
thinking just now of Miss Lucy Alb
bolt, Miss Hattie Briggs and Mrs. AL
ma Woolcutt Long, whose eminent
services in this direction, have late
ly been brought to an end by the
deaths of parents. But they are
only three of a list that can be re-
called in the history of the town,
that seems to us one of the chiefest
glories of the place. The end is not
yet in the rewards of such service.
Our old townsman, Asa Harring-
ton of Barre CITY, was able to ride
out here early in the week for the
first time since the breaking of hip
bone some weekc ago by fall on
walk. He has had severe time of
it, in the meanwhile. But he hopes
to be pretty well again in due time.
Of course he can get along now,
only with crutches. He tells US that
his brother, George Harrington of
Princeton, H., is in very poor
health.
Our Station Agent L. o. Morgan,
of Jonesville and a son-in-law of
Martin Seaver of our place, is now
to take we'll merited vacation of a
few weeks, and the first one for
long time. He will be out till about
the first of June and maybe go to
Connecticut in the time. We all wish
him the best kind of vacation. His
place at the station is taken by J. A.
Bromley, who comes here from Wa
terbury.
Our new resident, A. N. Fellows
has hired George w. Brush's farm
the old Col. II. c. Weeden place,
for year. with an option on the
place, at figures agreed upon, for
six months. We are hoping Mr.. Eel
lows will find it desirable to pur-
chase the place. He had applica-
tons, two or more, for renting the
house, before the bargain was fairly
cold" which shows the demand
here now for tenements.
1t was great pleasure to their
friends here to have with us, if
but for a day last week Mrs. Mat
tie Abbott Bailey of Oneida, N. Y,
and her sister, Miss Lucy Abbott.
Mrs. Bailey's only son, will gradu-
ate from Williams College, Massa
cuhsetts, next year, 1910. They
went from here last Friday to South

Abbott will return here little later
