PRINTERS DEVIL" WAS ONCE
ASSIGNED TO A JOB AT MIN0T

when he told James j. Hill about it,
Mr.. Hill stated that had not treated
him fairly, and that l couldn't have
the position. My trunk was packed
and was going to leave for Minot
that night, when Mr.. Ward told me
the thing was off.
'He suggested that go to Chicago
and see Daniel Willard, who was the
vice president of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy road. At the time, l
felt pretty bad, for l realized had
made a mistake in leaving Mr.. Hill;
that my reasoning had not been right.
But here is what happened: l went to
Mr.. Willard and he made me general
superintendent of the Nebraska dis
trict. So received better appoint
ment than the one / had just missed
getting in North Dakota.
"But that isn't the whole story.
found later that Mr.. Hill had been
back of the whole proceeding. The c.
B. and @. was controlled by the Great
Northern. Mr.. Hill was still inter
ested in me and my future. He felt
that had not treated him fairly, and
he saw to it that this fact was brot
home to me. But at the same time
without my knowledge that he had
anything to do with it, he had me sent
to Chicago, and through his influence
l was given better position than the
one he had refused to let me fill.

A recent issue Of Current Opinion,
contained an interesting account Of
the career of a railway president who
began as printers devil. His wages
were $3.50 week, and the name he
signed was Harry E. Bryan. Today
he is president of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railway, a sys-
tenn comprising over 10000 miles of
track and with $4,000 employees.
Bryan was printers devil for three
years, by which time his wages had
risen to $3.50 per week. He finally
got into railroad work and was an
early employee of James ]. Hill. He
became division superintendent of the
Cascade division with headquarters at
Everett, Wash. Some of our old time
railroad men in Mi9ot know him we'll.
Mr.. Bryan came near coming to
Minot as division superintendent
years ago. Concerning this he says:
Frank Ward, general manager Of
the road, gave me division with
headquarters at Minot, N. D., but

GUN is TEXANS CARD;

ing an impressive six-shooter, as he
addressed sextet Of I. W. WIS who
had insisted that he and his compan-
ion invest $3.50 each for red card
and hold out for $3.50 wage. The
Texan declared the gun was all the
card he intended to carry in the fu-

When the Texans companions call
ed at stores to buy arms, they were
Informed they needed no cards or guns

and harvest jobs were soon found for
them.
