People down In the comparatively
small town of Shreveport, La, prob
ably never expected to see "Bill" New
man president of a great railway, for
down there in 1896 he was only a sta
tion agent. But that process of civil
service whish seems to operate
automatically in the railroad business
brought him steadily up from obscur-
ity. He served in various capacities,
until now, as William H. Newman. he
Is one of the foremost railroadmen in
the country. and president of the
wealthy New York Central.
Eben Riggs Thomas was. If anything.
: little lower down in the employment
scale than any Of those mentioned.
He was only coal weigher. But q
knowledge of coal and coal problems
was pretty good preparation for man
who was destined to become president
of a great coal moving railroad. In
fact, Thomas. after mis- full training
had been completed. didn't stop at be-
ing the chief executive of one rail-
road, for he has been the ruler of a
number. Since 1902 he has held the
place of supreme power over the
Lehigh Valley.

dent of the Erie railroad, began to

and by those who are competent to
speak of tho workings Of this remark
able system 1t is generally admitted
that 1t was never better handled.
Mr.. McCrea Is practical and business
like. He bothers nothing about poll
tics. He is interested only In the
proper conduct of the road, and he
has improved It's working details In q
manner truly astonishing. Merely, he
says. because he knows all the steps.
Marvin Hughitt. president of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway,
knows all the stops, too. He began as
telegraph operator. line Of work
that brings it's votaries into close touch
with railroading. From this he was
promoted to the post OF rrainmaster.
Gradually he made his way. steadily.
irresistibly. Many rivals. with better
social connections perhaps, and cer-
tainly moro wealth, coveted the post OF
chief official of the road. but none of
them had the practical equipment
which the post so completely dictates,
and when the vacancy came, and a
new president had TO be chosen, it was
the former telegraph operator who
went into the place.
The president of the New York Gem
trail has known what it was to come
from the ranks.
The San Francisco call., 1909-11-21

But in his minds eye as the plan un-
folded he saw that 1t was not enough
to know railroading alone. With the
great lakes lying across the pathway
from one important section of the
country to the other he who would go
the limit in transportation mastery
must also be steamship expert. SO he
entered steamship Offices at a small
rate of remuneration and mastered that
branch Of the business.
Then he emerged thoroughly
equipped. He was ready to tackle the
job OF establishing great railroad sys-
TENS. He became president of tho entire
Great Northern system and of the
Great Northern securities company.
It would take a section hand OF some
temerity to try to deceive President
Samuel McCrea of the Pennsylvania
railroad as to the way piece of work
should be done.
McCrea started his connection with
the road in that very position. The
man who is now the supreme power In
what is generally admitted to be the
best handled railroad in the world was
a rodman. He has held every position;
he went gradually through all the ex-
ecutive berths and various vice presi-
denotes till at the death of A. J. Cassatt
he was elevated to the topmost place.

ing himself a brakeman on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
But he couldn't long be kept at that
kind OF work. He knew too much. and
now he makes as much a week as he
used to make in the entire year.
William H. Truesdale. president OF
the enormously wealthy Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad. was
a freighthouse clerk on the Rockford.
Rock Island and St. Louis railway. He
had a genius for working hard He
made an early dent, and soon promo
tiops were chasing him He didn't
sfdestep any that looked good. and to-
day he is In a position whose rewards
are enough to make Croesus get
little bit envious.
Another telegraph clerk who made
an impressive success OF railroading
was Albert j. Earring He worked the
keys at station on the system OF the
Milwaukee and st. Paul But he
doesn't need 90 do that now, for ne
is president of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul.

doubt this general statement, enough
instances can be offered to establish 1t
indubitably.
The greatest railroad and transporta-
tion man in the United States today is
conceded to be James J. Hill. He has
attained to position where he not only
is acknowledged to be abundantly able
10 protect his own interests, but he has
so completely mastered the subject of
transportation that all men look to him
as an authority and are glad to take as
final his opinion on any question involv-
ing railroads or steamboats,.
Hill was picked to speak at the Seat
tie exposition opening, because not only
was 1t recognized that he deserved a
lot from the gratitude Of the people for
what his roads had done to open up the
country, but also because his name
stood for supremacy along a line Of
special knowledge.
Hill didn't go to any school TO get
his knowledge OF railroading. He didn't
take any home study course. He got
out among locomotives and steamships
and there learned the business from
the ground up.
Leaving his fathers farm, Hill
worked in railroad offices at a meager
salary. Schemes of transportation on a
scale yet undreamed of came to him.

son of wealth and aristocracy, found
1t necessary to begin at the bottom In
order to make a way at the top. Ia

trail as a clerk. progressed to the

Lucius Tuttle was 81 years working
his way to the top. He entered rail-
way service in 1865. held various posi-
tions. became president OF the Bosto,
