new Rail MARVEL
uiet, Unassuming Young Bachelor
Looms As Marvel In Class
With ]. ]. Hill

CLEVELAND, Jan. 2.-Another
James J. Hill is rising in the middle
west-Oris P. Van Sweringen, a
4 zuiet-mannered, unassuming young
Aachelor, with matinee-idol hair and
pinkish complexion.
His latest coup is the reported
consolidation of three middle west
RAILROADS into one of the longest sys-
tems-the New York, Chicago & St.
Louis, the Lake Erie & Western and
the Toledo, st. Louis and Western.
1t gives to this man of Al the con-
troll Of approximately 1925 miles of
track through highly developed in
dustrial territory.
Another of his maneuvers is his
aspiration to become a national rail
road power is the projected new I'M
ion station for Cleveland, involving
an expenditure estimated at $780,
100000 to $4,000, 900.
This station project is a big link
in Van Sweringen's rise to railroad
supremacy.
Van Sweringen was born on
farm. His parents were neither
poor nor rich. At IA he became
clerk in a Cleveland office. He held
that job until ii. Then he and his
brother, Mantis j., decided to enter
the real estate business together.
One day hey went out to Shaker
Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, then
a thinly wooded expanse of vacant
land formerly occupied by colony
of Shakers.
eve became convinced that it
could be made into a fine residence
section," Van Sweringen tells.
In recent testimony before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Van Sweringen told how the union
station project grew out of that.
What Van Sweringen needed was
capital. Financiers told him the
land was too far from the city and
besides that there was no street car
lines.
He persuaded the Cleveland trac-
ton system to extend a line into the
northern part of Shaker Heights. But
the company refused to go into the
southern part.
So Van Sweringen decided to
build his own rapid transit line. He
lm.gured he might save time and
~honey by acquiring the use of a
railroad right of way into the city.
Inc Nickel Plate seemed the best,
but its management wouldn't make
terms. So Van Sweringen pur-

fought shoulder to shoulder with
him. But 80. P" is the man the
public knows, the man with whom
the public deals.
The next few years will tell
whether or not the name Of Van
Sweringen will come to rank as
high in railroad history as the
name of hartman or Hi.

Estimates that 100000 bushels of

changed to shade lower, and pro-
visions at setbacks ranged from 100

Buying on the part o fhouses With
eastern connections gave an early index
that export business was in progress,
and helped to lift wheat values TO

quotations at Liverpool counted also
as bullish factor, and 20, too. did an
advance in French exchange rates. a
popular opinion being that more stable

were perhaps at hand.
