Several years before the time Of which 1
am speaking, while employed as an oper-
ator for the Western Union at Cheyenne,
on the Union PaSfic railroad, met Mr.,
VAIL then a young man. who was filling
a position as a railway mail clerk on that
road. l was Immediately attracted toward
him because OF his clean, wholesome and
vigorous personality. but little did 1 dream
Of the remarkable career that awaited him.
That he was aggressively ambitious was
plainly to be seen and from talks 1 had
with him afterwards, II was quite apparent
that he had set a high mark which he
confidently expected to attain. That he
accomplished his purpose is a matter Of
common knowledge as he heads today two
OF the greatest public utility corporations
in the world-the American Telephone and
Telegraph company and the Western Union
Telegraph company, the affairs OF which
he is conducting with such consummate
sagacity and skill that he IL regarded as
one of the real great captains OF industry
and his achievements are the admiration
OF financial and industrial circles in all
lands.
That his confidence in himself was Justi-
fled is best illustrated by the fact that at
the age of q he became general superin-
tendent of the railway mail service of the
United States. a most responsible position
at that time because the service was in
a formative state and 1t required the
keenest intelligence and the hardest sort
of work to solve the intricate problems
which II wisely and properly done meant
the permanent success Of the system.

WORLDS LONGEST
 CANTAL0UPE TRAIN
Record Breaking Haul of Melons Over
 Line of Southern Pacific.

\ train Of cantalOupes consisting of 13O cars. one mile and half in length. passed over the Southern Pacific rail road last Wednesday enroute to Chi cago from the Imperial valley. The cars contained more than 100000 pounds of cantaloupes. and was drawn by the largest and most powerful freight locomotives on the road. Be- cause of it's extreme length. and the tonnage of melons carried in the cars. the shipment is believed to he the larg- est that has ever passed over any line.
 The train was routed h" fast freight. and no time win be lost getting the can taloupes to market. When other trains are met, however. the big melon train will have a difficult time squeezing in on the ordinary side tracks. which will seldom be found long enough to ac- commodate such an unusual number of cars.
 The entire load was a result of a sin gle days work in the melon fields of the Imperial valley, and the size of the
