PAUL HASTINGS MAY
SOON BE PROMOTED
CFrom Thursday Daily.)

Information comes TO the journal.
Miner that Paul y. Hastings, the gen
eral passenger and freight agent of
the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
Railway, is in line for promotion.
Officials of the Santa Fc system have
had the matter under consideration
for some weeks, and the official an.
nounccment Of his advancement is ex.
pected TO be made in the near future
Mr.. Hastings is slated for the import.
ant position OF first assistant TO Ed.
ward W. Chambers, the assistant traf.
fic manager Of the Santa Fe system
whose headquarters are In San Fran.
cisco and who has charge OF the en-.
tire Western traffic Of the Santa Fe.
He is next in authority in the com.
pany 20 General Traffic Manager
Hoagland whose office is in Chicago
Two plans IL is said are under con.
sideration, one is 90 place Mr.. Hast.
ings In the San Francisco office, and
the alternative is 20 allow him TO re.
side in Prescott and consolidate the
two positions. For the past three
years practically all Of his time has
been engaged in representing the com.
pany's interests at hearings before the
Interstate Commerce commission and
in attending meetings Of traffic man.
ayers. Such knowledge has he dis
played of the theory and practice Of
rate making and no skilled is he is the
intricacies Of the traffic business, that
he is now regarded ms one Of the best
experts in that line connected with
the Santa Re system. Frequently has
he been sent by Mr.. Chambers in his
stead TO appear before the Interstate
Commerce commission on most import.
ant eases, and on matters in which
the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
were not directly involved.
Mr. Chambers himself is held in the
highest esteem by the members Of the
commission, for the reason ,hat in
representing the company's interests
he has never distorted the facts nor
INDUCED in any misrepresentation re.
garding the business affairs Of the
company. Consequently there is no
railroad official in the country whose
statements have greater weight with
the commission than Mr.. Chambers
and when the latter chose Mr.. Hast.
ings TO represent him personally at
several Of these hearings, IL gave the
Prescott man high standing in the
railroad world.
Mr.. Hastings is now en- route 10
San Francisco TO attend traffic
hearing. and il was impraetieablc 20
