Detroit, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE re-
cent elevation of George w. Perkins
to the head of the Pere Marquette
marks another step in the dramatic
rise of this railroad king and financial
wizard.
Among the financial engineers VINO
have come prominently before the
public within comparatively recent
years, George Walbrldge Perkins
stands out as an example to young
men who have their own way to make
and who are willing to work hard to
accomplish that end. Mr.. Perkins,
who is today a partner in the banking
firm of j. Pierpont Morgan & Co,
started his business career about
thirty years ago as an Office boy on
probation. He was given a salary Of
S25 a month on condition that he made
no plumbers or mistakes and did
everything that he was told TO do
promptly. He did as he was told, and
If he made any blunders or mistakes
there is no record Of them for the
time he filled the position OF office
boy in the Chicago office of the New
York Life Insurance co. This was IN
10 LuNinS AtAG AotAtCI part VI NkldN
year Mr.. Perkins, who was not yet is
years of age, was made a clerk at
salary Of $1,000 a year. He continued
in this position at the same salary
until 1888, when he became cashier in
the Cleveland office at :. salary of
$1,000. In 1886, he left the position of
cashier and went into the field as an
agent for the company, travelling In
the extreme western parts of the
United States and gaining knowledge
that fitted him for the position Of
agency director, 10 which he was ap-
pointed in 1888. A year later he was
appointed Inspector of agencies In the
Rocky mountain district, which In
cluded six or eight states. His salary
had increased steadily and had grown
to the substantial sum Of $4,000 a
year, when in 1892 the office of third
vice president was created by the
New York Life and Mr.. Perkins was
elected to it and placed in charge Of
the company's agencies throughout
the world. This carried with II a SAL
airy of $4,000 a year. Within a short
time Mr.. Perkins was elected a mem
Der of the board of trustees of the
company. and in 1898, on the death OF
the then second vice president, he was
elected to that position, and a few
weeks later was elected to the finance
committee. In 1900 he was made
chairman of the finance committee
and in 1903 was promoted to the posi-
tion Of vice president Of the company.
From 1901 Mr.. Perkins salary with
the New York Life has been $4,000 a
year and this salary continued until he
resigned the vice presidency of the
company in 1905.

FILE ANSWER TO
WALSH PETITION
GOVERNMENT TODAY FILES ANS
WEIR IN CASE OF CONVICTED
CHICAGO BANKER.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Dist. Atty. Ed
win w. Sims, today filed the answer
of the government to the petition Of
John R. Walsh, convicted of misapply-
ing the funds Of the Chicago National
bank, for rehearing of his appeal to
the federal court of appeals.
In the answer the government at
torney says that the only new points
raised by the defendant in the petit
ton which was filed some days ago,
are the multiplicity of the counts Of
the indictment and the allegation that
the verdict was inconsistent.
Should the petition for a re-hearing
be denied by the court of appeals the
only avenue for reversal will be an
application to the federal supreme
court for a writ of certiorari.

trying to agree upon a plan for
lowering the temperature In the
main shaft. Considerable differ
ence of opinion prevailed at the

DOUGLAS. Aug. 21.-(Special)--
 The following personal letter from the veteran editor of Forest and Stream. one of the oldest publications of It's kind in the country. to Marshal East, few days ago, will undoubtedly be of personal interest to many old cattlemen, hunters, and miners who have travelled the southwest, and many will wish, like MT. East, that Mir. Grinnell may realize his wish to visit and that they may have chance to meet him. In his work, years ago, as practical cattleman and ranger, Mir East made some rather remarkable finds of old armor, undoubtedly Span ish, from the early settlement of the exploration and settlement of the country by them, and it is to these that MT. Grinnell refers:

I envy you your opportunities for observa- tion and for speculation about these ancient arms and remains which ap- peal so strongly to the imagination, I have been over one or two old bat tlefields in the west. and seen a few relics. but they were of comparatively modern times--not more than perhaps sixty years ago.

 The Daily International is indebted to Mir. J. P. Clark of the Capper Queen smelter force for branch of grease wood plucked in the edge of town this morning which shows that the wild vegetation was affected as well as the domesticated. A physiological point worthy of notice is that the effect in all cases begins at the edge of the leaf and proceeds toward the stem. In most cases it has taken in all of the leaf. but in some cases it has ef- fected the leaf but part of the way to the stem. The speciemn brought by Mir. Clark also shows another thing, that the effect is only temporary. at least on the greasewaad bush, as this branch is putting out much new growth at the base of the older and shriveled leaves.
 T. A. Daley has theory that s at least as interesting as those of others. It is that the injury to foliage is the result of an unusual combination of heat and extreme humidity lately.

 The entering of this company into the field in this vicinity will mean the employment of a number of men and men much to the future of the de- yelopment of the southwest.
