 He tried his hand at it until the elder Bernet informed his son, you'll never be blacksmith. Go try something else

 In the third of these executive positions, President of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Railroad to which he was chosen in 1929, MT. Bernet became the right hand man and chief railroad adviser to the Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland in their efforts to merge number of railroads into one vast system of some 15,000 miles.
 Known in History
 With some 40 odd years of rail- road experience behind him, MT. Bernet had become known in the industry as doctor whose special jty wss taking a sick railroad and making it well and vigorous. It was that record of achievement that caused the Van Sweringens to turn to him when the time came to launch their ambitious program of fewer and more effi- cient railroad systems.
 Born in U. s.
 Mir. Bernet was born at Brant, IN. r., near Buffalo, February g, 1868, and. like most poor boys, had to be content with a public school education. It was turn of fate that he was born in the United States rather than South America, for his father, an immigrant, had his heart set upon going to the land south of the equator. When he reached his port of authorization he learned that only ships for the United States sailed from there, so he decided to go along anyway.
 No Blacksmith
 When the son was ready to go to work he went into his fathers blacksmith shop, which had been set up at country cross roads. One day as they worked at the forge, the elder Bernet paused as he allowed his hammer to come to rest on the anvil Looking at his son, as if with a tinge of regret, he said:
 Its no use, John, you'll never make a blacksmith. Your close sight isn't good enough to finish your iron properly. Go try some thing else, you'll never do here" The boy wandered over to a rail- road switch shanty of the old Lake (Eapfinuad ap papa Cavanl

The federal government is building a
new bed for the railway between Bon

the present line, which will be covered
by water when the Bonneville power
dam is completed and the Columbia
river is backed up for fifty miles.
The mountain slowly is sliding to-
ward the Columbia river on bed of
solid rock. The migratory grounds,
known, as Ruckel slide, is saturated
with water, crumbling and unreliable.
The missing stream used to flow
from eight bores into the mountain
side made by the Union Pacific, to pre-
