TIIE OMAITA DAILY DEE; WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1905. 10 Great Sale Muslin Underwear Thursday PARR TO SUCCEED GRUBER 8uprlntTidit of Wyoming Division of Union Pacific ii Prsmoted. APfOINTMENT EFFECTIVE AT ONCE &aaral .Mansajer Mahler Makes A -loinrrmdt of Choice of Ilia Chief Assistant la Direc tion of the Road. W. L. rrk Jim been appointed general superintendent of the Union Pacific rail road, the appointment to be effective Feb ruary 1. Ha succeeds J. M. Oruber, who resigned aoma time ago to accept the auper Intendency of the Burlington Unea east of tha Mississippi river. Mr. Park has been with the Union Pacific for many years and has long been the su perintendent of the Wyoming; division of tha road. He has an excellent record for Service and Is very popular among; the men, aa well a with the executive officers. The announcement was made from the office of General Manager Mnhler. Burlington's Wit Horn I.lae. Articles of Incorporation of the Big Horn railroad were filed at Cheyenne Friday. This Is the corporate name of the new tin which Is to be built Into tha Bis; Horn basin by the Burlington and It meana that tha first step preparatory to actual work on tha line. It is expected that the road will bo built from Frannle, on the Cody division of the line, to Thermopolls. The distance Is about ISO miles, and for most of the distance the line will follow a nat ural basin which presents no expensive engineering problems. Thermopolla will also be the western terminal of tho branch tha Northwestern proposes to run out from Casper. Both will reach the same town, en building Into the place from the north and tha other from the south. Thermopolls baa longed for a railroad, but It seems destined to get a bunch of them this trip. Tho Big Horn Railroad company Is capi talised at 16,000,010. The Incorporation papers show the line as running through counties in Wyoming. The names of the Incorporators are J. E. Kelby, O. W. Holdreg. H. D. AUee, W. P. Durkea and O. W. Loomis. Moffatt Sells His Road. It la reported that the Denver, North western A Pacific will not be built to Salt Lake City. It Is said that David H. Moffatt's Interest In the property has been sold to the Denver Rio Grande, and that the road will now be built to Hot Sulphur Springs, a few miles beyond Arrowhead, the present terminus. A. rail road man, who recently returned from Denver, says the story Is given consider able credence and has been the occasion of considerable excitement. President Moffatt, Viae President Schlacks and directors of the Denver & Rio Grande, It Is said, have been In conference In New York and that the merger of the two roads has been effected. It Is said that as a result of the change A. C. Rldgway, the general manager of the road, Is to have tha place of manager with tha Denver & Rio Grande, succeeding J. A. Edson, who recently resigned. It Is believed the road Is bought up to put out of the way a poaslblo rival to the Gould coast line, the Western Pacific. A branch Is to be con structed to Dotsero in Garfield county, which Is on the main line of the Denver at Rio Grande about twenty miles east of Glenwood Springs. The branch, with the Moffatt road as far as built, would straighten out the Rio Grands consider ably and would shorten the time of the road as a transcontinental proposition. I Will Delay the Ilnreaa. It is probable that the bureau of Informa tion at the Union station will not be In operation, quite as soon as expected, owing to the Illness of J. G. McBrlde, who Is to have charge. Telephones have been In stalled and the other paraphernalia will be In shape in a few days. All the folders and other data will be given out at this window.
