THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH
ERN PACIFIC.
The Southern Pacific company has
made a great acquisition and the Grand
Trunk railway has suffered cores
ponding loss in the decision which
transforms the general manager or the
latter into the president of the South
ern Pacihc system. Charles M Hays
is gratifying example OF what
young man with ability and tremen-
dous capacity for work can accomplish
in this country. without capital, poll
tical influences Or favortism. For
four years he was an Office clerk; for
nearly ten years more he was general
managers secretary-a splendid school
for the all-round railway man; for the
next nine months he was assistant
general manager and then he reached
the goal of most railway mems ambi-
ton by becoming general manager at
the early age of 33. For eight and n
half years the Wabash was able to re-
tain him in that position, until nearly
five years ago. when he accepted the
larger and more difficult work of OPP
Grating the Grand Trunk. His success
in rehabilitating that great property
has been warmly acknowledged at the
half yearly meetings of the English
neutrality-suspicious. who are gen.
orally less ready to praise than to
blame-anG he announcement that the
company Is to lose his services Will
cause general regret as well as sur
prise. The presidency of a vast corpor-
alton. such as the Southern Pacific,
with its nearly 10000 miles of railway
lines. directly and indirectly controll-
ed. operating thousands of miles OF
steamer lines. reaching to the sea and
the Orient. and numbering its employ
es by tens of thousands, is a position
of powr and usefulness that may well
satisfy the ambition OF any man. and
the man who has attained this was a
clerk sixteen years ago. In addition
to the rapidity of his rise two facts are
noticeable in examining the dates OF
Mr.. Hays's railway career that his
official service thus far has been with
two companies only and that from his
entry into railway work as a boy of
day out of employment. stepping from
one position to another that was high
er by a continuous progress Such
record is rare in a profession so full
of vicissitudes as that of the railway
official, d IL is proof OF extraordinary
and varied abilities.-Railway Age.
