e W.Pratt Promoted.

d W.Pratt Promoted
Capacity and Efficiency. AL
ways Sure 10 BE Recognize
1t was with sincere regret
that we learned this morning
that Master Mechanic 3. w.
Pratt had been promoted to be
Assistant Superintendent Of
Motive Power andMachinerylof
the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company, with head
quarters in Chicago. His APP
pointlment will be effective on
January 18th.
Mr.. Pratt's rapid promotion
in the service of the company
is an object lesson to all, that
efficiency is recognized by those
in authority.
We first hear of him at thir-
teen years of age as a telegra-
pher on the Wisconsin Division.
Not content with this, he en-
tered the Lehigh University
and graduated with honor;
fully equipped with the tecni-
que necessary, in the various
railroad managing departments.
He then became connected
with the civil engineering de-
partment of the Wisconsin
Division. Soon he was promot-
ed to be Chief Air Brake In
spector, with headquarters in
Chicago. Served there about
two years, and still evincing in
dustry and efficiency, he was
again promoted to the Ashland
division, as general foreman.
From Ashland Division, he was
again promoted to Mason City.
Iowa, as division master me-
chanic. Jan. l, 1908 he was
promoted to be master mechan-
ic of the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley r. R. with
headquarters at Missouri VAL
ley. He retained the position,
and when on March l, 1903, the
Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company absorbed the
old r. e. & M. V. and merged
it into the Nebraska and Wyom-
ing Division, including all lines.
west Of the Missouri river, he
was still the master mechanic,
and has remained the Superin-
tendent of Motive Power and
Machinery, ever since.
Missouri Valley will miss
Mr.. Pratt and his family. His
aid in securing the vast per-
manent improvements, already
built, and those to be erected
in the very near future, has
probably been underestimate.
There was a time, when his adj
verse advice, regarding their
location here, might have been
materially disastrous to the pro-
spects of our town. He chose
to strenously advocate in the
Councils that be-" the Just
claims of this place as a natural
center for the shops.
While we regret to have Mr..
Pratt leave US, we surely wish
him God Speed" in his hig her
and broader sphere of labor.
The ladies will miss Mrs. Pratt
and Verona, socially. They
have always been regarded as
bright, broad and generous
members of our social commune
ity.
