LARGE SALARIES.
Managers Who Initiate as Well a,
Execute.

Managers Who Initiate rs Well a,
Writing about the iron industry OF
the northwest, a correspondent makes
some interesting statements concern
ing tho salaries paid by the great min
ing companies. He tells OF one man
who began life as an Office boy of the
corporation that now pays him twenty
thousand dollars a year; Of another
who receives thirty-five thousand dol
lars, and of many whose salaries range
from five to fifteen thousand dollars.
The company that employs the man
who earns thirty-fve thousand dollars
produces annually six million tons OF.
ore. An Improvement that saves even
cent toa makes vast difference in
its profits. The high-salaried man has
suggested several such Improvements
All these richly rewarded managers
and agents are able to initiate as we'll
as direct and execute. The present or
ganization of industry tends toward
specialization. An time shoemaker
would be lost in one Of our modern
factories where shoe passes through
forty-four different hands. Perhaps
few of the employees could make a
shoe unaided. as he could: but II his
own line of work Lister, a stitcher, or
any one of the rorty-four could beat
the cid shoemaker ito a standstill."
Yet a Specialist" in any Industry is
liable to grow narrow and get into a
rut. 1t is important to note that thess
high-salaried ironmasters of whom Wa
have spoken are men who stopped
short Of this danger point and broad
ened out. The fact that certain thing
had always been done in a certain way
did not prove to them that that was
the best way, and they earned their
salaries by finding Better. When the
young man at machine grows &ssat-
fsfied with his wages. the thing for
him to do is not to strike, but to Study.

COUNTY LINE SURVEYS.
Commission Has Decided the Boun-

Special to the Scranton Tribune
TOwanda. Feb. 5.--The commission
that was appointed some time ago to
establish the line between Tioga and
Lycoming counties has completed its
work and is now preparing it's report.
The line in question has been in doubt
since the forming of Tioga county, and
as early as 1852 surveyors went over
the line, but their report was not con-
firmed. In 1869 another survey was
made. and only portion of the line
confirmed. and in 1898 more of it was
determined. Since then part of the line
has been in dispute, and the report of
the present commission will undoubt-
cdly settle the matter.
The engineers composing the commits
sion are II. f.. Ball, of Towanda; ID. L..
Deane, of Wellsboro; John Morgan. of
Elk county. and f.. j. Eldred, of Ly-
coming county.
