How could it be said that Luck could convert a Telegraph operator into Tho it eident of a vast railway system and Jet this in Brief is the history of Willfam c. Van Home. When thirteen years of age or. Van Home who was b Orn in will Coria to 111., entered the Illinois Central railway Chicago As Tele graph operator. He Early developed a Natur Al capacity for rail Way work which alone would have distinguished him. But to is was seconded by an intense thoroughness in every thing he undertook coupled with a determination in Pursuit of whatever object in View that would have achieved for him abundant Success in any sphere. From to 1864 he served in various capacities on the Joliet division of the Michigan Central and Here As on the Illinois Central his natural aptitude for railway work was soon recognised by those under whom he was placed. In 1804 or. Van Home in he is of Huguenot descent. His ancestors for More than 200 years were Farmers who lived in the old Homestead and tilled the family hard working Folk brought up on simple fare Aud Uever indulging in dissipation or Lux Ury. Or. Depew s father was Well to do and had his son Well taught in preparation for College. When he was advancing in his. Teens the Young men aimed at being a Farmer but he soon had enough of agricultural work and was glad to find Relief at Yale University where he matriculated at the ago of eighteen.

During Bis service with this railway his administrative ability distinguished him even among those to whom be was subordinate and soon marked him As a coming railway Man. This was More apparent Asho succeeded to More responsible positions and with the determination always to carry his Point which to generally managed to do when dealing with individuals or corporations made him a valuable officer Lor any railway. In july 1872, he accepted the position of general superintendent of the St. Louis Kansas City Northern railway which to filled for two years. I or four years after that to was general Man Ger of the Southern Minnesota railway and for two years tiding december 1870, to was president of the some company. In january 1880, or.

They have Long been subjects of actual interest among canadians from Halifax to Vancouver. The latest Deal consummated by or. Van Home that with the new York Cen trial giving the Canadian Pacific railway Access to Tho american Metropolis is characteristic of one of Tho traits that Early Dis played itself among his capabilities As a railway manager this scheme which gives the c p. R an Entrance to new York has occupied the attention of its president for the past two years and the arrangement is even More satisfactory than it was at first thought could to made and is a Pectol to result in the greatest advantage to Tho railway. Of or Home s relations with the Able staff of managers he has gathered round him Aad the general Contentment and har Mony that prevails in every department of the Road there is no better evidence than the conspicuous absence of strikes or any kind of friction to impede the volume of business of the railway. Doubtless few of the Many visitors to or. Van Home s office m Montreal have failed to notice his characteristic manner of receiving them. When you approach said one who has often interviewed the c p. R. President he swings hims of quickly round on his Pivo chair covering you with keen penetrating pair of eyes Liat make you feel for the moment As if Yon were being held up to the Light and looked did you Ever see of or.

Maiden efforts As a political speaker were highly successful and when he took the stump for Lincoln be won his inures As an orator. In 1861-62 he served in the new York As Sembly and during the second session was chairman of the committee of ways and Means and he acted As speaker of the As Sembly during a portion of Tho time. He was elected Secretary of in 1883 when he was 30 years old by a majority of votes. Tho re nomination was offered to him but he declined it.

In look ing after Tho interests of Tho Central Road he became acquainted with every senator Assembly Ina and lobbyist in the state by his intellectual brightness his Good Fellowship his Strong personal popu Larity he gained a Large no Quintance and powerful political influence. His successful directorship of railroads is largely duo to the fact that he is master of All tto details pertaining to the Roods and their policy and to his jealous supervision of their interests. It is not alone due to the fact of his. Being a great railway magnate that or. Depow holds pro out influential Posi Tion amongst his .
