S. Halsted, General Solicitor, Los Angeles, California. Dear Sirs I am enclosing herewith proxy of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company in favor of yourself, F. E. Pettit, Jr., and F. H. Knickerbocker, to vote on behalf of the company’s holdings in the capital stock of the Union Pacific Stage Company, and proxy in favor of yourself and C. C. Barry as to the Las Vegas Land and Water Company, meetings of which will be held in Los Angeles on November 12, next. No changes need be made in the official personnel or directorate of the Union Pacific Stage Company. The offices of President, Director and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company, heretofore held by Mr. Calvin, should be transferred to me. Mr. Calvin’s resignation, dated October 3, is hereto attached. It is desirable that a Vice President of Las Vegas Land and Water Company be located in Los Angeles, so that when author­ized to do so he may execute contracts or papers regarding which there may be an imperative need for ejqpedition and where delay should be avoided. It is therefore desired that Mr. Knickerbocker be elected a Vice President, in addition to Mr. Bracken, whose situation as Vice President will not be changed.
