RUMORED RESIGNATION
GENERAL MANAGER LfYFY

AS some of the direct results of the
change in the administrative affairs
of the Western Pacific, in which Ben
jamin F. Bush succeeds f. T. Jeffery
as president and E. L. Brown succeeds
Charles s. Schlacks as first vice-pres-
ident, it became known yesterday that
C. NJ Levey's position as second vice.
president and general manager of the
railway is to be affected, says the
Chronicle
1t was learned from an authentic
source that Levey will terminate his
services as ce-president within a
short time-just as soon as the new
executive officials familiarize them
selves with present conditions on the
Western Pacific. 1t also was learned
that Levey, for whose ability Presi-
dent Bush has profound regard, may
remain associated IN an executive
position with the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn on some other part of the system,
as Bush, it was declared, is anxious
to find or make a place for him, either
on the Missouri Pacific railway or the
Denver and Rio rGande. Levey is
considered in railway circles as a man
of exceptional ability and experience,
and has a host of friends among ship
pers and railway men all throughout
the country, especially in San Fran
cisco ON on the Pacific coast. The
change slated for him is indirectly
caused by peculiar condition that
has arisen on the executive staff of the
railway President Bush is to devote
much of his personal attention to the
Western Pacific. +. l.. Brown, the
first vice president, is an operating
man, and will devote practically all of
his time to the road.
Vice President johnson is to look
after traffic matters exclusively. With
these three officials on the job there
was really little left for Levey to do,
especially in view of Brown being an
operating man. Whether or not Levey
will accept position on one of the
other roads on the system is not
known, though it is known that Bush
doets not want to lose him altogether.
The possibility of other changes
among other officials is much dis cuss-
ed in local railroad circles, though
Vice President Brown has denied that
there will he any.
Levey entered railway work with
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
as telegraph operator when 15 years
old and was continuously with that
system, filing various positions, such
as, assistant superintendent, superin-
tendent and general superintendent,
until January, 1902. when he was ap-
pointed general manager of the Mis-
souri, and Iowa lines of the Burling-
ton, with headquarters at st. Louis.
He filled this position until February,
1904, when he went over to the Nor
thern Pacific as assistant to the presi-
dent, with offices at Tacoma. In June,
1905, he was made third vice-presi-
dent, and in May, 1907, his head
quarters were changed to st. Paul,
where he remained as vice-president
in charge of operation until he came
to the Western Pacific in 1909. 1t is
expected that he will remain with the
Western Pacific until fall

Cash RAISED FOR
BRIDGE DONATION

Secretary German, of the Chamber
of Commerce, reports that winnemuc-
cas- contribution of $3.50 towards
building a bridge at Whitehouse, Lam
der county, has been practically raised
by subscription. A small amount is
yet needed, but if it cannot be raised
by popular subscription, will no doubt
be made up by the Chamber of Com
merce.
The secretary of the Elko Chamber
of Commerce has been notified that the
money is available, and as soon as he
designates who is the custodian of the
funds, it will be forwarded.
The building of this bridge has
been the only serious obstacle in com
pleting the Northern auto route, and
now that this has been overcome,
work will no doubt be prosecuted to
an early conclusion.
