drama of western life on
a cattle ranch, wildly presenting
the well known cowboy character
and the peculiarities and is not an
imaginary character brought into

fiction, but an actual historical
fact brought about by our civil
strife some years ago. The char
acters are true to the people they
represent and the scenic surround

III. ii. Hunkins Is Transferred Here
From Denver.

The Importance of Salt Lake as a
traffic center, both passenger and
freight, has dawned on a number of
the railroads which have general
agents here. but have not had gen.
eral freight and passenger agents.
A number of the roads have covered
this territory with freight and pas
senger men who have made Denver
their headquarters.
With a view of getting more act
lively in the passenger game here, the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul has
transferred H II. Hunkins, travelling
passenger agent, from Denver to Salt
Lake.
While Mr.. Hunkins is by no means
a stranger TO the Salt Lake and Utah
field, the fact that he is coming here
TO live makes him a welcome addi-
ton to the rapidly growing Salt Lake
railroad family.
Recently the Santa Fe established
a freight and passenger agent here
in the person of Edmund r. Leis.
Other roads are about TO follow the
action of the Milwaukee and Santa
