The transfer to the Black Hills dis- trict represents. a promotion for Mr. Boone, who has scored high in efficient management during the largest period of growth in the road's history in Wyo- ming. At one time Casper stood fourth in volume of freight handled by the Chicago & North Western; Omaha be- ing fifth in the list. This has entailed arduous labor during a time. when road improvements were curtailed by the war and in the face of numerous washouts which greatly impeded both freight and passenger service. At such times Mr. Boone supervised much repair work in person. Conditions here now are greatly improved and much of the grief" which he has had to contend with will be eliminated by improvements to the road now under way.
