Theoccasiol was n which has q
tendency to bring our business men
and the officials OF the company clos.
err together, one which in other tran.
sactions makes them feel that they
ara dealing more with individuals and
has a tendency to promote a better
feeling all around. The day was n
OF gOodicl1oWship and it is believed
that the 900 Line people feel that
they and their company are both ap.
plreciated in Bismarck.
&& In the Long Ago.
When the writer saw President Pen.
nington and Superintendent Derrick
together today, he was reminded OF a
story told once by an Old.timer who
knew them both in the long ago. 1t
was down at Calmar, Iowa, when Pen,
nington vas running as a brakeman
on a passenger train and Mr.. Derrick
was a kid operator. Both were full,
OF business and looking for the next
rung on, the ladder.
Young Pennington couldn't tele-
graph but he knew Derrick's call on
the wire when he heard it. When it
was sounded and the kid operator was
too busy to answer at once the young
"brakey" would bawl out, ITS Il won
der you wouldn't answer your calls
Derrick would then answer, and turn.
ing to Pennington say, "Ah, ha, dill
you %getthat?" "Ah, nav, ! wasn't lis.
tening," would come the renly from
the coming railroad president. and
Derrick would laugh. From the first
they had their heads together and it
has often been said that they were
married to each other, for that was 81,
years ago and they are both helping
each. other, and have been instrumen:
tai in tha building Of one Of the great
est systems in the country.
