Tells of the Changes
The World Herald apparently speak
ing with some authority yesterday
printed the following
Circulars which will be issued Sep
tember 10 will bring to the Burlington
headquarters at Omaha an importance
in the operative management of the
lines west of the Missouri river never be
fore enjoyed here It involves an exten
sive reorganization of the lines west of
the Missouri river the rearrangement
following the promotion of General Su
perintendent Calvert to the position of
chief engineer of the entire Burlington
system and brings to Omaha new officials
All of tho lines west of the river are
to be divided into the Nebraska district
will include the Lincoln Wymore and
McCook divisions and its general su
perintendent will be H C Byram the
new appointee who comes from the
Great Northern and his headquarters
will be at Lincoln The Wyoming dis
trict will include the Alliance Sheridan
and newly created Holyoke divisions
Its general superintendent will be G W
Rhodes formerly assistant general su
perintendent under Mr Calvert and his
headquarters will be at Alliance thus
taking away from Lincoln half its operat
ing force and prestige
To make mileage balance evenly be
tween the two districts the five divisions
have been increased to six by cutting
from the old McCook division the area
from Holdrege to Cheyenne calling it
the Holyoke division and establishing
its headquarters at Holyoko with D F
McFarland present assistant superin
tendent of the McCook division with
his headquarters already at Holyoke as
the new superintendent Thus each dis
trict gets three divisions
I S P Weeks the present chief en
gineer is reappointed to the position of
engineer with headquarters at Lin
coln This is only a change iu title
however so that Mr Calvert alone may
hold the title of chief engineer on ihe
Burlington and will not affect Mr
Weeks authority
Omaha headquarters will be given
greater operative prestige from the fact
that such officials as the superintendent
of transportation the superintendent of
motive power and machinery the super
intendent of telegraph and other depart
ments heretofore established at Lincoln
and reporting direct to General Superin
tendent Calvert will report to General
Manager noldrege here thus requiring
an increase in his office force
The location of the principal shops
at Haveiock near Lincoln and the lo
cation of other important appurtenances
of the road with reference to Lincoln as
a geographical center will cause the re
tention at Lincoln of all of the depart
ments mentioned except that of super
intendent of transportation
That official is C L Eaton and he
with his office force will at once move to
headquarters in this city
