U. P. Returns To Old System.
A change in the system of titles has
been made by the Union Pacific lines
whereby they return to the old 3ystem
and do away with the Hines system
that has been in use for the past four
years. The Hinos system made a num
ber of the men assistants and in that
way made a cumbersome title and the
company is abolishing that system for
this reason. The old system went in
to effect yesterday and effected only
one man in this city. George Smith,
wh&has been heretofore termed assist
ant superintendent, is now trainmaster
and in each of the oilices bearing the
title of assistant, the men will now
have a title designating them chief of
their department. Assistant Division
Superintendent W. T. Berry is now
changed to master mechanic, and so in
all departments.
A few changes were made this yea
in the scedule for the trains passing
throueh this city.' No. 9, which has
been running in two divisions, will now
run in one division and carry mail nnd
'express through to San Francisco. No.
5 is now put on in tho place of the first
section of No. 9 and will carry mail and,
express to Portland instead of being an
exclusive mail train. Passenger train
No. 18 will leave for the east ten min
utes earlier thnn before. No change
was made in the branch train as was
expected. These changes were made
to go into effect at midnight Sunday
night.
