McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING DECEMBER 14 1906
SupfEaton Has Resigned
Last Friday evening Supt Cornelius
L Eaton of the McCook division sent in
his resignation of this position to Gen
eral Supt Byram at Lincoln It is to
go into effect January 1st 1907 Mr
Eaton states that he has no idea who
will be successor No reason is publicly
announced as to the reason for resigna
tion but the streuousness and the inci
dental raw hiding of tho position seem
to be discouraging factors that the
hardiest and sturdiest weary of
Mr Eaton haa been superintendent of
the McCook division for somewhat over
a year and his work has been difficult
and constant and it is the opinion of
railroad men that ho has improved al
most impossible conditions materially
Of the resignation tho Lincoln Stato
Journal sas
C L Eaton Burlington superintend
ent at McCook has resigned the resig
nation to take effect on January 1 Mr
Eaton confirmed this statement by tele
phono to the Journal last evening but
gave no reason for his resignation Ho
said ho had no idea who is to succeed
him General Superintendent Byram
could not bo reSched last evening As
the resignation is made public nearly a
mouth in advanoe of its taking effect it
is probable that the name of his succes
sor will not be announced for some time
When Trainmaster E E Young of
Lincoln recently was transferred to Den
ver railroad men began to speculate on
tho next change to be announced Mr
Eaton has been a division superintend
ent for about two years possibly less
going from tho position of superintend
ent of transportation at Omaha to Mc
Cook as division superintendent When
he went to that division it was said
things were in a bad shpe Mr Eaton
went to work with a will and soon after
it was reported that conditions had im
proved and that business was moving in
good shape Recently it has been re
ported that there was much congestion
on the west endof the division This
it was assumed by many was because of
lack of facilities Denver papers re
cently published a story that Burlington
officials had decided on new yards and
terminals at Denver to relieve conditions
there
Mr Eaton is well known in Lincoln
where he resided for many years and
where he was connected with the tele
graph and dispatching service He was
regarded as av first class railroad man
He has spent many years in the service
of the Burlington His friends would
not be surprised should he go to some
other road and land in a better position
The December Apportionment
The figures for the December appor
tionment by the state for the public
schools have been announced
The apportionment distributes 251
80654 among 371885 school children
being 677 cents to each person of school
age in the state The last distribution
gave 70 cents
Red Willow county secures from this
apportionment 248160 having 3665
school children
The Conterfeiters
will doubtless be at more pains for their
plunder than if they had earned honest
money with which to buy if they now
get their just deserts Fur scarfs of
very good quality at 100 each also at
150 200 300 and up to 1250 with
