Changes to Be Made,
In Trainmasters
In railroad circles it is said that
changes will soon bo made in train
masters on the Third and Fourth dis
tricts. Trainmaster Sage who has
been Btntionad here for several months
will rsign and return to Omaha and
resume his run as passengor conductor.
Ho will be succeeded by Trainmaster
"VanWirt, of the Fourth district, who is
well known to Third district employes.
Claude Delanoy, who has boen fore
man at Northport, will succeed Van
Wirt as trainmaster on the Fourth
district. These changes aro scheduled
to be made in the near future.
Effective at once, trains between
Nortli Platte and Cheyenne will be
operated from the North Platte dis
patchers' office. For somd time past
the jurisdiction of the local office has
been to Sidney, where dispatchers have
been maintained. The Sidney office
will be abandoned, and J. T. Davis will
come to North Platte a night chief.
This permanently puts a quietus on the
much-talked of removal of the train
dispatchers' office from North Platte
to Sidney, and which at one time was
sprioualy considered by the Omaha
officials.
H. V. Hilliker, of Denver, formerly
terminal superintendent in that city,
now traveling inspector of traffic,
-spent a few hours in town yesterday
while enrouto east. He will return in
a week or so and visit friends for a
day.
' For ElksjOnly.
The luncheon and program to be held
at the country club next Tuesday after
noon will be limited to Elks ond those
taking part in the program. To all
others the gates will be closed. An
impression seems to have been gained
by some that the exercises were open
to overybody, but this is a mistake.
The city council took up the matter
of lighting the water plant at their re
gular mooting Tuesday evening. The
matter was taken up some time ago and
a letter was sent to the Skinner Engine
company to get a price on an engine
adequate for use here and word was re-J
ceived that they did not make a Bmall
engine but could furnish a large one for
a little bver S700. Tho one they sug
-gested would more than fill the presunt
needs and with this addition the city
could save some of their lighting ex
pense" by furnishing their own lights
from the power they already generate.
