RAILROAD CIRCLES


It is noted that the new time ta-
BILE which is effective May Ia has a
new station on the former Phoenix
division. The new station is called
Matthie and was formerly A. & c..
Junction. This change, according to
officials, has been contemplated for
some time but they were waiting for
the new time card to become effect
ive This recognition of former
Superintendent Matthie is very fit
ting The accident in which he met
his deatl1e was but a fbw miles from
A. e G. Junction. The employees
who had the pleasure of working
with the late Mr.. Matthie will never
aorget him. The naming of the sta
tion in his honor will keep the mem
ory of this good man in the minds
of the coming generation.

noticeable in the amount of pas

was run in three sections. This
traffic will help the slack times and

boards in the past. Also a large

run during the latter part of the
