Union Pacific leadership changes spark railroad expansion
The Sun reports that B R Calloway will stay as second vice president and general manager at Omaha while Thomas J Potter becomes first vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific and Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The piece argues for aggressive private enterprise and a policy shift toward settlers, industry, and growth, condemning past leadership and praising the railroad’s value and potential. It also notes a separate episode about the desert land act and a misleading inquiry regarding land eligibility, ending with a returned postage stamp and uncertainty for a would-be settler.
