NEW DIVISION AND PASSENGER
AGENT FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC

J. M. Fulton returned this morning
from San Francisco and confirmed the
rumor that he had been appointed dis
trict freight and passenger agent at
this point for the Southern Pacific com
pany. This position he filed some ten
years ago when the Office was known as
division freight and passenger agent.
j. F. Hixson, who has been incum-
bent of this Office sine elast fall, leaves
for Fresno to occupy a similar position,
which was vacated by the transfer of
E. W. Clapp, also formerly district
freight and passenger agent here, to
San Francisco.
Mr.. Hixson will not leave for his
new duties for several days, but the
transfer of the position really takes
place today. During Mr.. Hixson's
residence in this city he made many
friends and was a most efficient official.
His transfer is in the nature of a pro-
motion.
Mr.. Petit. the assistant agent, in ad-
dition to being travelling freight and
passenger agent, will retain his posi-
ton here, while Mr.. Fulton, who is city
agent for the company, will remain
also in that capacity. although his as
sistant, Jesse Smith, will to all intents
and purposes be in charge of the local
Office.
1t is MI. Fulton intention to secure
another Office for tn company on =
