the showing Is very flattering, What
this great district needs most Is
transportation facilities. A railroad
from Grants Pass to Crescent City,

the very best and safest investments
to be had on this coast and il is GER
tainly very strange that capital has
not taken up this proposition. Smith
and Illinois rivers are water power
streams OF sufficient magnitude to
furnish power with which to operate
q dozen railroads and the timber and
minerals along and tributary to a
railroad on the route mentioned,
would afford an absolutely unlimited
tonnage, thus assuring big dividends
for the capital invested. The agricul-
tural possibilities here are too we'll

FRANK A. VANDERBILT
BRIEF LIFE STORY OF HEAD OF
coUNTRYs BIGGEST BANK.
Rise Of Young Machinist to Presidem
Leading Financial institution
Assistant Secretary of Treas
ury Under Gage.

New York.-The recent election OF
Frank A. Vanderlip TO the presidency
OF the National City Bank of New
York, recalls one of the most pictur-
esque stories of perseyering uphill
work ever related OF poor American
boy. Thirty years ago. Vanderlip was
plodding away in a machine shop out
west, at IS cents day. His father
had just died in Indiana. leaving a
widow and her family with nothing
but farm and a few hundred dollars.
The farm could not be worked to ad-
vantage. so the young man took the
place in the machine shop as the only
means of supporting the family. He
went at II like Trojan-he still works
that way-and. after ten-hour day,
came home to plod portion of the
night over a shorthand textbook.
That made him competent stenog-
rapher and soon gave him position
with a Chicago investment house at
$40 a week. In the days when his
companions of after life were enjoying
the football matches of Harvard and
Yale young Vanderlip was digging
away at dry old railroad reports. In
that way he acquired statistical know
ledge and learned how to go to the
bottom of things.
After saving a little money he took
years course at the University OF
Illinois and later when serving as a
newspaper reporter In Chicago. he
supplemented this course by attend
ing lectures at the University of Chi
cago. Most of his education. however.
was acquired in the university of the
wide, wide world"
Finally young vanderlip became
financial editor of a leading Chicago

paper and soon took rank as one of
the best financial writer's In the coun-
try. He bought part interest In the
Chicago Economist in 1894. and served
as an associate editor of that journal
until March 1, 1897, when Lyman J.
Gage, who was then president of the
First National bank of Chicago, was
appointed secretary OF the treasury.
Mr.. Gage asked Mr.. Vanderlip to go to
Washington as his private secretary.
This position he retaiend for only
three months, after which he became
assistant secretary of the treasury, on
June l, 1897.
The next year he distinguished him
seIf by his organization of the treas
ury forces for the great work connect
ed with tho war loan of 1898. when
325.000 separate bids were received
for the 5000, 900. 900 popular issue The
treasury had to take on 600 extra
employees for the task. which was han
died with great dispatch. Mr. Gage,
speaking later of Mr.. Vanderlips work
in the treasury department. said:
HE has great initiative. possesses
the power of action beyond anything
have ever seen In any man. He works
quietly and with great speed. He han.
dies men admirably and seems to
know what to do every time. No one
knows how he does things. for Van.
derlip has a way Of simply going and
doing what he has to do quietly. with
out letting any one know about II un,
til It's all done. He has the sort of
force that counts. Then, again, he has
such a pleasant way OF saying mo-
that people are not offended by re-
fusal."
In 1901 Mr.. Vanderlip Lecsme a vice
president of the National City Bank,
and on concluding. few months ago

come chairman of the board. Mr.. Still.
man selected Mr. Vanderlip as his sue
cessor for the presidency So this is
how the young machinist, who was
born at Aurora. ILL.,, only A years ago,
has risen to the presidency OF the
largest bank in the United States.
On the evening OF the day that he
was made president of the bank. In
stead of gathering the big bugs of Wall
street for a great function he gave a
dinner to the young men who had
seen treasury service with him in
Washington. One of them said of the
affair:
There was nothing great about the
dinner or about the way it was given,
1t was like a great big family party
given by an old friend who loved to

not spoiled him. He remembers his old
friends and they will never forget him.
The dozen men who attended his din

occasion. There is nothing on earth

would not break our necks to accomp-
lish."
