Four years ago entered the en-.

roll clerk and later as secretary to
the superintendent. In the lattcr
position it has been my privilege to
come in close contact with S, w,
Derrick, who for 25is years has been
Superintendent of the Missouri River
division, its first and only supcrin.
tendent. His railroad career has
spanncd most remarkable period in
the history of American railroading
and in development Of the northwest.
He, who supervised the laying Of the
rails Of much Of the Missouri River
division across virgin pnairies. has
lived to see the transformation of
those prairics into thriving farms and
