Forty-Eight Years in Service
of Union Pacific Railroad

After having been in the service
of the Union Pacific for more than
4S years, c. S. Stebbins, assistant
to General Auditor H. ]. Stirling,
has retired on pension and will
spend several months in southern
California. Mr. Stebbins' retire
ment became effective Friday, and
at the close of the day he was pre-
scented with gold watch and chain,
gift from the officials and EN-
ployes Of the general auditors Of
fee. The presentation was by
General Auditor Stirling.
Mr., Stebbins entered the service
OF the Union Pacific October 20,
1870, as secretary to the chief en-
gineer and superintendent. From
April to December, 1880, he was as
sistant general passenger agent
and from December, 1880, to August
1887, general ticket agent, an office
long since abolished. Since 1887 he
was connected with the office of the
general auditor, since 1911 being
dSSlSlduLs
About the first work that Mr..
Stebbins was called upon to do after
entering the employ of the Union
Pacific was to work out a time
scheme. Prior to that there was no
standard time. Some Of the trains
were run on Chicago, some on St.
Joseph and some on Union Pacific
time. Chicago time was 80 min
utes faster than that of the Union
Pacific and IS minutes faster than
that Of st. Joseph. Mr.. Stebbins
called attention to the fact that the
Union Pacific clock had not been set
for 8 years and as a result had gain
ed II minutes. The time was set
back one minute day until the cor
rection was made.
