Mr. Harris was born In Brookline, Maia, (3 year ago.

Th Hannibal at "St. Joe" road at that time was a short line In Missouri. Now It 1 a part of the extensive Bur lington system. Mr. Harris held his office boy Job for live years durlng whlch the road did not grow very fast. But in th meanwhile ha waa acquiring a lot of useful knowledge and made himself a valuable boy to have around th. office. About 1871 he was made a cl.rk to th. assistant treasurer and paymaster pf the same road. This gave him bis opportunity for advance ment. He displayed adaptability at figures and accounts and his genius became recognised. This won for bim the position of cashier of th. land de partment of- the Burlington Mis souri River road at Lincoln Neb.

But he returned to the Barlington at Missouri River road In 1ST a pur chasing agent. From this time, bis ad vancement waa rapid. He did not stay on one lob longer than it required him to learn something of the one Just ahead tf him and he was promoted repeatedly. Then he was appointed as sistant to the general manager of the Santa Fe road. Rise Is Steady. From there ha became assistant to tb. president of the Chicago.'

Representatives of the farmers' tele phone lines of Lane County who are working for an Independent exchange In Eugene in opposition to the system of the Paciflo Telephone Telegraph Company, which they accuse of levying extortionate switching rates, met with the Merchants' Protective Association Monday night to present tbelr plan to that body with the hope of securing assistance from Eugene merchants. While the business men are not fa vorable to a second system, which will double their telephone expense, a com mittee was appointed to work with the representatives of the rural phones In the hope of bringing about an arrange ment that will be satisfactory to all concerned. The committee was com posed of D. E. To ran, V. L. Holt, and M. S. Barker. The grievance of the farmers' tele phone owners against the Bell com pany Is that they consider the switch ing rates extortionate and the rates unequal. Warning to Railroad Stem.
