MONTPELIER WINS
FROM DIAMONDVILLE

The Montpelier ball team jour
neyed to Diamondville last Sunday
morning and in the afternoon played
a double header with the coal dig
gers" taking both games, the first
one by a score Of 10 to 9 and the
second one by a score of 3 to 0.
The boys went to Diamondville,
realizing that they were going
against one Of the fastest teams in
this section Of the country, but they
went into the game with their cour-
age screwed to the top notch and
with a determination TO convince
the people that Montpelier has a
real live ball team, and this they
certainly did.
AS the score indicates, the FIRST
game was a close one, but only once
during the game was Montpelier in
danger Of losing out. Houghten,
who occupied the mound for Mont
pelier, pitched fine game. Both
he and Vaughn, who pitched the
second game, had the pleasure Of
striking out Diamondville's star bat
ter, who stated that 1t was the only
times he had famed" this year.
The second game was played In
the remarkably short time Of one
hour and six minutes. Montpelier
made three runs In the first inning
and from then until the close Of thC
game goose eggs" were dished out
on, both sides.
The boys returned home feeling
mighty good over their double
victory. and they have been hearth!
congratulated by the local fans.
r Tomorrow and Sunday Afternoon
: the team expects to win two NOR
victories on the Montpelier diamonl

FIRST GLIMPSE OF
YELLOWSTONE PARK
tCopyright.)
BY LLOYD LEHRBAs.

The Yellowstone National park
opened for the 1914 season with the
largest number of tourists in the
history of the park. Last year
IL ,905 tourists entered thru the
Yellowstone entrance and it is
claimed that this years traffic will be
even heavier. Altogether approx
mately $4,000 people viewed the
wonders of the heart of wonder
land" last year.
Several large parties of sight
seers are now touring the park, in
Guiding five parties of ticket agents
representing eastern railroads, who
are guests of the Union Pacific.
About twenty-five more parties OF
ticket agents are expected in the
next few days.
You meet many people, of al
nationalities, creeds and sorts, who
are touring the park foi
various reasons and in various ways,
many Of which seem odd.
Last evening a lady over 20 years
old arrived at Camp Yellowstone
from Philadelphia, walking thru th'
park. Her only food while walking
is two quarts of milk a dav and OIL
, this diet she averages 20 miles pc
day.
Brides and grooms from all owe
/ the United State come here to spent
} their honeymoons. Mr.. Collinwood
the Wylie manager here. can spo
them mile off and he always josh
es them numerically before tn
crowd.
The tourists ask some Of the si
I liest questions imaginable. Thei
! fayorite question seems to be, Ho'
far are these mile posts apart, an
they ask hundreds Of equally FOOLS
= ones.

Importance to the Office Of general
manager of the Oregon Short Line.
Mr.. Brewer is transferred to
Pocatello so that the Montana and
Utah divisions Of the road may be
more economically and efficiently
operated. The Utah division ex-
tends from Salt Lake to Pocatello
and the Montana division from Poca-
tello to Silver Bow Montana.
The creation of the new offices
and the changes in the personnel Of
the Oregon Short Lines official fam
lily are the result of the determine
ton of E. E. Calvin to operate the
system more economically and more
efficiently. Mr.. Whitney is the
second Southern Pacific man to join
the Oregon Short Line ranks since
Mr.. Calvin succeeded w. H. Ban
croft as general manager of the
road.
Mr.. Whitney started in the rail-
road world as a telegrapher on TIE
Oregon Short Line at Green RIVER,
Wyo., in 1885. He then went to
the Union Pacific and worked ab a
dispatcher at Cheyenne and Laramie.
He then went to Grand Island, NeS.
on the Union Pacific as chief dis
patcher and was later made super
intendent of the Wyoming division
of the Union Pacific with head.
quarters at Green River. While
holding this position his health failed
and he left the employ of the I'm
Pacific to go east. After eighteen
months he returned to the Colorado
& Southern and was later superin
tendent of terminals for the Denver
& Rio Grande, jointly, at Greer
River Wyo. About five years agc
he went to the western division o,
the Southern Pacific as Superintend
ent and in 1918 was promoted t,
superintendent of the Sacrament
division with headquarters at San
Francisco.
E. c. Manson. who is promoted

Line. He started in as a teleprapl
operator at Pocatello, having com
from the Union Pacific. He wa

and the Montana division of tn
Oregon Short Line. He succeede

ent of the Oregon Short Line abot
five years ago and removed h
headquarters from Pocatello to Sa

OREGON SHORT LINE TO
MAKE IMPORTANT CHANGES
New Office Created for E. c. Manson--W. A.
Whitney Named as General Superintendent,
with Headquarters at PocatelIo.

Salt Lake, June 22.-Effective
July l, w. A. Whitney, superintend-
ent of the Sacramento division of
the Southern Pacific, will become
general superintendent Of the Ore.
gon Short Line and C. E. Manson,
now general superintendent of the
Hartman road, will be made super
iutendent of transportation. With
the changes in the general offices of
the Oregon Short Line A. F. Brewer
superintendent of the Utah division
OF the Oregon Short Line, will be-
come superintendent of the Mon
tana and Utah divisions, which will
be combined into one division July

grand division. With the promotion
of Mr.. Manson the office of the gen.
eral superintendent Of the Oregon
Short Line will be removed from
Salt Lake to Pocatello. Mr.. Brew
er's headquarters will also be trans
ferred from Salt Lake to Pocatello.
The changes in the official family
of tine Oregon Short Line come
somewhat as a surprise to railroad
men in Salt Lake. 1t has beer
known for some time that E. E. Cal
win, vice-president and general man
ager of the Oregon Short Line, de
sired to make a change in the oper
ating department of the road as re
CARDS headquarters, but it was mo-
made public until yesterday that HI
is to create new Office, next in i'm
portance to that of general manager
of the road, in appointing a super
ihtendent of transportation. Thi
Office has not existed heretofore
The increased traffic on the Oregon
Short Line made it imperative tina
the general manager and genera
superintendent be relieved of mucl
detail work. The car service de
partment, the telegraph department
and the running time and making o
schedules will be under the iurisdic
tion of the superintendent of trans
portation as will the equipment 0
the road.
Under the new order of thing
the general superintendent offic
will be established at Poeatellc
AS yet it is not known whether c
not the Office force which is workin
in Mr.. Manson's Office at this tim
will be transferred to Pocatello |

Mr.. Whitney's duties will be col
fined exclusively to supervising Il
operation of trains, maintenance I
track and roadbed and of the va
ious division terminals. This wi
make two offices which have bet
transferred from Salt Lake to Poe
tello within sixty days. The d
partment of motive power was
Gated there on March 1st, when
G. Hinkley succeeded ]. F. Dunn

The superintendent of transport
tionwill have his Offices in Salt La
and the position will be one viii
