Show hanckoi't am) m:sEoriF:. A little while ago it was rumored that General Manager Resseguie of the mountain division of the Union I'dcilio was to be removed, but the rumor was not credited least of all by Mr. I'esso-guie I'esso-guie himself, whose services first at headquarters in Omaha and subsequently subse-quently in Suit Lake City were regarded as creditable in tho highest degree. What determined the change after all is one of tho secrets in railroad life that none can divine. It was understood w hen the change in tho control of the Union Pacific took placo that the three division system would be abolished to mako room for the unit system which had previously existed. Had this been done and Mr. Resseguie relieved under the new order of things it would havo been a matter of little surprise. As it is, tho people of Salt Lake who have learned to esteem the old manager for his personal and. professional worth feel a pang of disappointment at his parting. We do not fear for his future. Kxpert railroad men aro not so abundant but what one of Mr. Resseguie's experience will bo sought after. (July his removal will be a disagreeable loss to our people. Fortunate for the service and the public that tho new general manager is a man well acquainted iu this city and . country from his previoin connection with tho Rio Grande Western railroad. Fortunate Fortu-nate also that ho is equally conspicuous conspicu-ous with his predecessor for ability and experience. We do not tear any disap- pointment at the hands of Mr. Han-croft; Han-croft; all we do fear is that in the shifting shift-ing sands of railroad policies he might be changed and a fresh disappointment await us.
