ance with New Arrangement.

Circulars which have been issued
from the office of c. A. Morse, chief en-
gineer of the Santa Fe railroad, an
nounce the appointment of J. NJ. Meade

system and F. NJ. Bisbee as engineer

appointed engineers will be the same
as that of General Managers J. E. Hur-
ley and c. w. Kouns of the eastern
lines and western lines respectively.
Previous to this announcement Mr..
Meade was engineer of the eastern

territory was coextensive with that of
General Superintendent F. c. Fox. Mr..
Bisbee was engineer of the western
grand division and his territory was the
same as that of General Superintend-
ent H. W. Sharp.
Under the new arrangement the Of
flee of engineer of the central grand
