Abolish Utah Division.
Official announcement has been made

division of tho Union Pacific will bo
abolished nnd there will be but two di
visions between Omaha and Ogden.
Th6 Nebraska division will extend from
Omnha to Cheyenne, nnd the Wyoming
division from Cheyenne to Ogden.
Supt. Cahill, of Omaha, will have
chargo of the Nebraska division and
Supt Wm. M. Jeffera, lato in chargo
of the Utah division, will have juris
diction west of Cheyenne. Mr. Jcffors'
force will go with him to Cheyenne,
which will bo his headquarters. Both
Supt. McKeown and Asst. Supt. Roth
have resigned. Ono report is that they
will go to the Illinois Ccntrnl and bo
come part of the operating force;
nnother story is that they will both go
to Denver to live. Supt. Jeffers, by
reason of the increased mileage of his
jurisdiction, hns had greater responsi
blity ndded, and his old time friends in
North Platto whero he began his rail
road career twenty-fivo years ago as a
messenger boy hope that these in
creased responsibilities will carry with
them a larger salary.
Tho consolidation of the three divi
sions into two is in keeping with a fore
cast appearing in these columns a
couple of months ago. Tho part of that
forecast that has not yet been an
nounccd is tho location of an assistant
superintendent at North Platte, but it
is only a question of timo until this
part of the program will bo carried out.
Since the above was written there is
a report current that Charles Ware
will bo superintendent of tho Nebraskn
division and that ho will have head
quarters at North Platto. This, how-
over, is only a rumor and lncks confinna
tion.
