One day Jesse E dw ards w as in
the office o f Charles H. M ark
ham in P ortland, w h o w as then
General Freight Agent for the
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon,
and seeing this m otto hanging
on the w all he remarked t o M r.
M arkham th at such a m otto
w ou ld be a splendid thing to put
where the students of Pacific C ol
lege could see it from d ay t o day.
M r. M arkham a t o n ce to ld M r.
E dw ards that he could have it
fo r that purpose and it has since
had a place where hundreds o f
people, both you n g and old,
have read it, and it has been
noticeable th a t a very large
number o f visiting students from
other colleges cop y it for future
reference.
The occasion for m aking men
tion o f this incident at this time
is the fact th at M r. M arkham
has w ithin the past few days,
been called t o the presidency of
the Illinois Central railroad, a
p osition o f great responsibility
as this is one o f the great rail
road system s o f the M ississippi
valley, and one that has been in
the lime light for som e tim e, on
account o f the grafting m anage
ment it has been under. I t is a
case where pluck has w on again.
M r. M arkham began his career
as a railroad man as a section
hand on the Santa Fe in 1881
and w ithin a year w as prom oted
t o the p osition o f station agent
JS$
a t Deming, New M exico. His
rise w as rapid and in 1897 he
cam e to Portland to take the
position w ith the S. P. when the
m anagem ent w as in th at fossil
ized condition which blocked all
progress for years. He a t once
began to get ou t along the lines
and get in touch w ith the people.
The w riter well remembers his
first trip to Newberg and how
he b oltifl in to the Graphic office
t o get next to the editor. He
did the same thing everywhere,
and at once made friends for the
road where enemies had seeming
ly been preferred before. He had
th a t happy faculty of gettin g
next to the people and his career
has since been w atched w ith
keen interest by the hosts o f
friends he made in Oregon, while
holding th at p osition .
L a st
M onday’s Journal said o f him:
Other railroad presidents w ill
learn much from the things Pres
ident M arkham will d o w ith the
Illinois Central.
They could
learn much by a stu idy o f his
railroad career in Oregon.
N o railroad official ever in this
state did so much t o bring rail
roads and the public t o a better
understanding o f each other. No
other ever w ent so far in bring
in g carrier and producer to terms
o f m utual cordiality and friend
ship.
As general freight agent o f the
Southern Pacific, M r. M arkham
tau gh t a new doctrine o f cordial
relation w ith those w ho make
the traffic for railroads.
He
w ent ou t am ong the fanners asri
him self preached the gospel o f
diversified farm ing. He engaged
w ith them in public m eetings
and felicitated w ith them at
banquets. He entered w ith them
in to their plans, preached t o
them abou t dairying and gave
them a new and m ore favorable
view o f the purposes and plans
o f his railroad.
Before he cam e to Oregon, the
railroad o f w hich h j w as a part,
w as sincerelv hated throughout
the state. It w as condemned in
every newsjfaper, denounced on
every street corner and excoriated
in every public meeting.
Before
he w ent aw ay, he had brought
the corporation in to a large de
gree o f popular tavor am ong
those w ho had been loudest in
its condem nation. He had per
formed an effective part in re
m oving the popular idea that a
corp oration is soulless and heart
less.
M r. M arkham ’s w ork bore a
splendid fruit, both for his rail
road and for the state. He was
a great aid in the movement for
a diversified farm ing and the
better conditions resultant there
from . He is the type o f man
whose career as a railroad pres
ident w ill be a g o o d on eforoth er
captains o f transportation to

brings harm ony and co-operation
between transportation
and
production, and it is the best

CH RISTM AS EVE.
Great w riters are prone some
time in their lives t o w rite Christ

mas Eve stories, no m atter how
varied they m ay be, as all the
music in the w orld com es from
the eight notes, so these stories
have no foundation but the home
circle and the m ighty event which
w as the signal o f a new birth for
the w orld. No m atter w h at men
and w om en m ay read, upon them
all is the thought o f the babe in

the soft light th a t gave the night

on the astonished shepherds, and
the “ G lory t o God in the highest”
which la n g on and on, and the
echoes Of w hich fell upon the air
like a divine benediction, after
the supernatural lights had dis
appeared and night had resumed
her reign. The aw e and the

o f men; it alw ays w ill be until it
