Who are the highest salarled men in Chicago?
 From what point did they work up?
 These questions were suggested by the testimony given at the recent street car arbitration hearings.
 It was thought out that Leonard A.. Busby, president of the Chicago Sur face Lines. had started with the cor porarion as an investigator at S2,- 500. and in a few years had risen to the presidency at a salary of S6O,-0OO.
 An investigation by Herald report CTS developed the fact that practical ly all of the best paid executives in Chicago had started at the bottom of the ladder and by being the best men on the job" and working had reached the top.
 Here are eleven typical cases:
 James B. Forgan started as office boy and clerk in a Scotch bank; now president of First National and First Trust Savings banks at S75OO0 a year.
 George M. Reynolds, Iowa boy with high school education, who began as clerk in Guthrie County National bank. Now head of the Continen- tai and Commercial National Bank. the Continental and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank and the Hibernian Banking Association at $SO.0OO a year
 John J. Mitchell. who arose from the job of messenger boy at S2.5O a week in the Illinois Trust and Say ings Bank to the presidency of the institution. and since has become di- rector in the largest financial insti- ton in the United States, at a sal ary estimated at S75.OOO a year
 Frederick W. Upham. who began practical work in a relatives lumber yard at Marshfield. Wis. handling boards at sS a week. Now head of the Consumers Company and other concerns. at SSO.OOO a year
 B. F. Sunny welcomed his first
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-07-24

SS2 a month as telegraph operator Then he became executive official in other concerns. Now he is presi- dent of the Chicago Telephone Com pany. the largest lumber concern in the middle West, and he allows him self a salary of $40,00O year.
 William A. Gardner thought tele- graph instruments click was allur- ing. His first pay as operator was $26 month. Now he is president of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail way at a salary estimated at S5OOOO "a year.
 Charles H. Markum started farther back than Gardner Markham was section laborer with pick and shov- el in 1881. His pay was SIPS day. His salary now as president of the Illinois Central Railroad is estimated at S5OOOO
 Albert J. Earling is another rail- road president at salary estimated at $4O.O0o a year who started as a telegraph operator in 1866 at a wage of S2S a month He is head of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- road
 orson Smith was bundle boy in Potter Palmer's dry goods store at S1.75 a week. He is president of the Merchants Loan and Trust Company at a salary estimated at S25,0O0 a year.
 George B. Caldwell started as a bank clerk at a small wage in Michi- gan, became a bank examiner at a small salary later came to Chicago as a vice president of the Continen- tai Trust and Savings Bank. Recent ly went to New York as president of the Sperry & Hutchinson Company on a five-year contract at S5O.OoO a yearf
 Every man of the foregoin attain ed his success in exactly the same manner as did the other-he became the best man on the job and worked.

 Mir. Delster claims that this ma. chine has fully demonstrated to the mining world, especially in the south. west, the highest efficiency the large capacity and the low power consump- ton claimed. as a result of many months of rigorous operation under actual milling conditions.
 There are 234 double-deck Deister concentrators in the mill of the Inc spiration Consolidated Copper Com pany at Miami, Arlzone. and large number in the Miami Copper Com pany's plant, which have just been in. stalled, after experiments had been made with them. The Simplex con centrators are comparatively new to the mining world. having been per fected in the last two years. after the Delster brothers spent three years working on them.
 Mr. Deister was here six years ago, "just to look around little," he says. He declares that the Juneau Gold Belt looms prominently on the mining map at the present time, ow- ing to the great strides which deyel- opment has taken here And it looks like just the beginning" he says.

Somebody has lately said that
dresses of these shades are only
successful when self-colored, and
we agreed with them-till this lot
of dresses came in. And behold,
they L so combined with dark
blue or black-usually taffeta-
that the effect is charming!
Though, perhaps, that isn't sur
prising, considering most of the
eighteen styles just received are
copied from the latest models by
Doeuillet, Jenny and Jeanne Lam
vim.
They include coat dresses, sus-
pender dresses and military effects,
and you will note such novel
touches as high tulle ruchings, en-
b%roidered silk blouses, silk pipings
and ball buttons, military buttons
and buttonholes.
And they are quite wonderful
for only $25.

is our idea of the way to make
times better.
1t is a great satisfaction to
us to have been able to keep up
the employment of our full
regular force during the whole
of 1914.
1t is even more than a salts
faction-it is a source of deep
felt thankfulness.
Of course, for cause, some
changes in e%mployments have
been and always will be made,
but not here on account of dull
times.
The temporary additions to
our staff for holiday seasons
are made with advance under
standing of temporary service,
and on our part it is always
with regret that we part with
any person.
1t must be a pleasure to our
patrons to think they have
had a strong hand in helping
to make emplOyments for our
full and large force, and most
assuredly we shall do our best
by splendid assortments and
good service to make our bust
