GEORGE GOULD AND HIS DAUGHTER WV
ZEN IN HUNTING COSTUME.
accustomed to declare iocularly that nc
was trying to get home" He was
graduated from the Western Pennsyl-
vania university at the age of nineteen
and went Immediately to the engineer
ing department of the PittSburg, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis railroad and
from the first day began to make a
good record AS a reliable builder of
new roads he gained much reputation
and received many flattering offers.
For upward of twenty years he served
as chief engineer and superintendent
on various roads.
In 1890 Mr. Ramsey attracted the at
tention of President NJ Il. Ingalls, of
the Big Four. who persuaded him to
act as his assistant. While engaged in
that capacity he was elected to the
presidency and vice presidency of sew
eral other roads and in 1893 was made
general manager of the Terminal Rail
road association at St Louis, where he
still resides. Two years later he was
elected vice president-and general man
ager of the Wabash system. In 1901
he succeeded o. ID. Ashley as president.
George Jay Gould, spokesman for
the opposing interests, is the eldest
son of the founder of the Wabash sys-
tenn, and during his administration Of
the combined Gould properties he has
shown himself capable of safeguarding
the interests of that vast estate From
his boyhood he has made ii his life
object to become familiar with the de-
tail of the great railroad principality
accumulated by his energetic father
Jay Gould had him prepared carefully
for matriculation at Columbia. but the
young man declared his preference for
business career, and the astute
manipulation did not combat his reso-
luton. Under his fathers careful SUI
pervislon his eldest son was initiated
into every feature Of the business
game as it was then played, and there
is no evidence that George has failed
to keep up to date. He has managed to
keep control of the Wabash in spite of
hostile interests. 1t is asserted by those
who are willing TO see him overthrown
that the Goulds are in a minority in
the Wabash--that they own only 40
per cent of the stock. If this be the
'act, it argues eloquently for the SUI
,erior cleverness Of George Jay Gould.
