From newsboy to railway presi-

president of the Great Northern rail-
way. Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
board Of directors, will continue as

the eighties. He progressed step by
step, later becoming a Western Union
messenger boy. The clicking of the
telegraph instrument was lure to
him. He mastered the key and became
an operator.
That opened the way for Ken
ney's railway career. He turned his
attention to traffic and before he was
forty became recognized traffic au-
thority. In 1912 Kenney was made
vice president and traffic manager of
the Great Northern. He then came
