RAILROAD
BUSINESS AS LIFEWoRk FOR AM.
BILIOUS YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES.
Plenty Of Opportunity for Boys Of
Brains and Push to Make Rapid
Advancement-The Business Dis
cussed in an Entertaining Manner
$4,000 Up at the Top.

There are magnificent opportunities
for the high school graduate in the rail
road business-or rather in the profes.
sion of railroading, for within recent
years it has come to be a profession
more than a trade.
The railroads of the United States
employ altogether something like a
round million of men in all capacities.
OF this number about 10000 are office
clerks; 1856 900 or more are station
agents. telegraph operators. and en-
ployes about stations; about 200, 90 are
engine men and trainmen of various
grades; up at the top of the railroad
tree are not many more than 5000 men
who may be fairly called Officials"
and who draw salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $50, 900 a year.
The ratio of minor employees at
small salaries. to officials, at large
salaries, in the railroad business is not
quite 200 to 1. Yet the same compare
tive ratio prevails in almost every
trade and profession. The big prizes
are only for the men who are able, in
dustrious. and-for want of a better
expression-lucky.

One Of the most attractive things
about railroad work to strong and am
bilious men Is the sense Of RESPONSE
bility and power which goes with the
filling of almost every position in the
service.
Even the section foreman has a gang
of men working under him; the engi-
neer Of a locomotive has the ARE and
safety of hundreds OF passengers in
trusted absolutely into his hands; the
train dispatcher bears a burden Of con-
slant and unrelaxing responsibility
which few other men are ever called
upon to feel and the higher officials
are called upon to exercise daily all
the qualities of a successful general
in the field.
But with the power and responsible
ity come correspondingly hard work
and long hours of service, and no young
man, however talented or ambitious,
should think of going into railroad work
unless he is, first of all, possessed OF a
sound body and the best Of health. The
higher he rises in the service. as a rule
the greater will be the demands upon
his vitality. Few men work longer
hours or are under a more constant
strain than the general managers OF
the great railroad systems. The gen.
eral managers private car which Is
the envy of many people, is, as a mat,
ter of fact, an office on wheels in which
he may live and work as best he may
while he is travelling owe the lines OF
his road, a duty which most managers
perform several times a year.-Chi'

The pathways to advancement in the
railroad service are many. You will
find railroad officials holding high posi-
tons and drawing large salaries, who
began as section men at s1.5O a day.
A great many more men started as tele.
graphers operators and worked their
way UP to the position of train
dispatchers, in that way learning
at first hand more about the
practical operation of a railroad
than it is easy to learn in any
other way. Still others began as brake
men on freight trains and went up
gradually through the grades of con-
ductor and trainmaster. Occasional
ly you may find an official who began
by carrying water with an engineering
gang and has risen up through the con-
struction Experimentation place of exec
utive responsibility. There are also
important officials who started as
clerks in some of the offices and went
up by sheer force of executive ability.
The trouble with all these gateways
to success is that the men who enter
ed them had to start SO early in life
that they had little or no opportunity
to get an education. They have achiev-
ed success not because they lacked
education, but in spite of that lack,
and most Of them will tell you that all
through their careers they have felt the
absence of a good elementary educa-
ton. at least. as a decided handicap. A
good many of them have made up for
the lack of early education by hard
them are now men of wide cultivation
and great knowledge. If they had it
to do over again they would prefer to
start at the bottom a few years older,
perhaps, but with the advantage of a
high school education to begin with.
1.-THE high school graduate who en-
tiers the railroad businss," said a
prominent railroad official, must be
content to enter it near the bottom.
But he will find hat once in he will ad.
vance much more rapidly than the man
of equal ability and industry who has
started in without the education and
who, when the high school boy begins
to work, has already advanced several
stages towards the top. In other words
the extra time spent in acquiring an
education should be more than made
up in the first five years after going to
work. Five years should put.the high
school graduate and his rival of equal
ability, who has gone to work earlier
on an equal footing, and after that the

man with the better education should
have the better Of it.
One of the best possible openings
for a young man Of good education in
the railroad business is that of con-
f1dential clerk or secretary to a division
superintendent or other operating of.
fetal. In such q position all sorts of
important business will pass through
his hands daily. and the opportunities
OF acquiring a thorough and first hand
knowledge of the workings of a great
railroad are unsurpassed. But such
positions are hard to get and are even
harder to hold. But the opportunity is
there. and opportunity is about all that
can be given to any young man in any
business. All the rest depends en-
tirely on himself.
The secretary Of a division super
intendent, for instance, will be expect
ed to accompany that official in all his
frequent trips yer the part Of the road
which is under his control. He will
meet and become familiar with all
the station agents, telegraph operators,
train and engine men on the division,
and will know. if he is observant, all
the physical qualities Of the roadbed
and equipment; he will become &C.
quainted with the large shippers and
with the various towns along the line.
All the important letters and tele-
grams to and from his chief and the
head officials of the road will pass
through his hands-or his typewriter
and he will have a chance to acquire a
lot of practical knowledge that car
hardly be had in any other way, except
the result of long years of appren-
ticeship and service.
IF l was going to enter the service
again | think l should try hard to get
a position as secretary or confidential
clerk to some division superintendent
or other operating officials"
, 1903-03-19

Once a young railroad man has
reached the position of a division SUI
perintendent the world is before him
in the railroad sense. He may be paid
a yearly salary Of from $4,000 to $500 a
year, but that is the least of his advant-
ages. He has a chance to demonstrate
his abilities as an organizer and ex-
ecutive to the highest extent, and in a
way where the results cannot fail to
attract the attention of his superiors.
If the division superintendent dis
plays superior ability in the manage
ment of his little division, as compar-
ed with the york done by his col
leagues who hold equal positions on the
road, he will almost certainly be ask
ed to move into headquarters and take
the place of assistant general manager
with a handsome increase in salary.
And if his own road is too short sight
ed to recognize his merits let him rest
assured that some other and rival road
will do so and will offer him induce
ments to move up a few pegs in its SER
vice.

Mexican Miners hit Hard by Dynamite
Duties.

The new duty of 500 (Mexican)
per ton or about fourteen cents per
pound on all dynamite imported into
Mexico, and which went into effect in
July, is hitting the mining business
pretty hard. This duty applies to
nitro glycerine and dynamite and not
to black powder. The object of the
government. no doubt is to encourage
the manufacture of dynamite in Mex
leo. Juan Brittingham, of Gomez
Palacio, has concession to build an
immense factory at that place and has
an area of mile square for that pur-
pose, over which he will put the
necessary buildings, etc. He will
certainly have a monopoly of the bust
ness for some time. The mining men.
usually SO patient are rather inclined
to resent this extra load on their bust
ness which is already paying much
more than its share of taxes, when

trail of the horse thieves, who also
rode off Mr.. Durneps fine horse. The
gentlemen left their horses and saddles
at QuJano, the company's station,
when they came up to Nogales last
week. When they returned south and
were told the horses and saddles had
been stolen, the boys were about the
maddest Americans seen in the state of
Sonora since the palmy days of the
illustrious Pete Kitchen, whose re-
ward in that state has been told about
in verse and song. They Immediately
procured good horses not as good as
the ones being ridden by the thieves
and hit the trail. They rode six days,
and some of them and Jim Durnel are
still riding. A reward of $500 has been
offered by Mr.. Conard for the recov-
cry of the outfit, which he says he will
have regardless Of hand high water.
