"Ralph S. Campbell, for 11 years
the general manager of Salt Lake's
street railway system, and one of the
best known and most popular traction
men In the entire west, has severed
his connection with the Utah Light
& Railway company. Mr. Campbell's
resignation as general manager of the
road, tendered October 31, 1906
when Harrlman Interests secured
control of the system, has been ac
cepted by the new board of directors.
The resignation takes efTect at once.
The new board of directors until to
day refused to accept Mr. Campbell's
resignation, saying that he would be
retained as general manager of the
company, a traction expert from New
York coming to take charge of a por
tion of the operating department
Yesterday Mr. Campbell completed
the purchase of the P. H. Lannan
farm in Payette valley, one of the
richest farms in Idaho, and at once
insisted upon an acceptance of his
resignation from the head of the op
erating department of the street rail
way."—Salt Lake Herald.
The Lannon ranch is located near
Parma and consists of 1000 acres of
land. It is one of the largest and
finest In Canyon County.
