The appointment of Hetherington is
of considerable interest to Topeka. In
the first place it gives the city an
operating office of Importance, follow
ing the removal of the general mana
gers office a week ago. In the sec
ond place it starts on the operating
ladder one of the most popular and
competent railway men in the south
west.
Started as Call Boy.
Mr. Hetherington started railroad
work as a call boy on the Santa Fe in
Emporia in 1885. He was soon out of
the ranks of the boys -with-the-lan-
terms and went to Newton as clerk in
the office of the division superintend-
ent From there he went to Fort
Madison, Iowa. as chief clerk to J. f.
Hurley, who was assistant superin-
tendent. Then he went to Chilli
cothe, thence 10 Arkansas City, on to
Wichita, ard finally returned to New
ton as chief clerk to the division SUI
perintendent.
He then came to Topeka as chief
clerk to c. w. Kouns (now general
manager), who was superintendent of
transportation. Five years ago in Sep
tember Mr.. Hetherington left the i'm
portant position of car accountant
with the Santa Fe in Topeka and came
to the Rock Island as chief clerk to
the general superintendent, headquar-
ters in Topeka. Later. under the con-
solidation of the offices, he was made
chief clerk to the general manager.
He is a valuable man in the Operat-
ing department and installed the red
bail" work on the Rock Island here.
The appointment of Hetherington
will do much--although not all, by
any means-to smooth out some of
the wrinkles in Topeka's forehead
caused by the Rock Islands recent
move in abolishing the second district
headquarters of the road The road
could not have appointed a more
popular man with the commercial in
terests of the city.
