ed away to grin.
Like Ii? You bet l dor said young
Ramsey, with feeling that won the
heart of Baker.
Report to me tomorrow morning"
And SO it was thirty-seven years ago
that Joseph Ramsey first entered a
railroad Office. The Panhandle was
then worrying about new bridge to
be built over the Muskingum river at
GAINESVILLE O., and the new boy "who
liked to draw was put to work on the
plans. 1t was before the days of blue
prints, and most of the work was in
figures, and Ramsey turned out a
really creditable bit of work. So good
was it that when the road was ready to
commence to erect the bridge Baker
called the young man In and said:
Ramsey. can you build that bridge
for me?''
Yes. sir"
Take charge tomorrow morning"
The bridge was built by young Ram
sey and Is today trong apparently
as when completed more than third
of a century ago. 1t was Ramsey's
first big work, and he is very proud
of 1t.
1t was but short time after this
that General Negley, having world
of money behind him, sent to Baker
for first class engineer to build a
small railroad in the mountains OF
central Pennsylvania. Ramsey was
sent. and Negley simply went into
spasms when he saw the youthful en-
gineer He sent hot message to
Baker saying he had asked for an ex-
perienced engineer, not for boy.
You've got the best engineer /
know. He'll build that road and do 1t
right. You let him alone" was the siz-
zling message sent back to Negley,
who reluctantly turned the work over
to Ramsey. So well was the work
done that the Engineering and Mining
Journal of New York sent experts to
examine the twelve miles of road after
completion. and the result was a three
page article on 1t filed with praise for
the young engineer.
