USE OF RAIL MAGNATE LIKE ALGER STORY New Van Sweringen Chief Started Life as Blacksmith Helper. B’i It Ofe-- 'rest CLEVELAND. 0.. May 25.—From apprentice blacksmith to empire builder is the story of John J. Bernet, president of the Erie railroad, i*ho soon will become chief of operations of all Van Sweringen lines, according io well authenticated reports. Asa youth Bcrnet planned to succeed his father in a little smithy at Farnham, N. Y.. Today at 61, Bernet stands not at an anvil, but as the dominating figure at the throttle of a vast network of railroads, the directing genius behind the far-flung Van Sweringen domain. In forty years of vivid railroad history he has spanned the gap between blacksmith and empire builder. Bernet was lured from the forge by the chatter of a telegraph key in the New York Central station at' Farnham. N. Y. He became an apprentice operator there to open his brilliant railroad career. Rise Was Rapid Six years at the window, and I Bernet became train dispatcher at Buffalo. Another six years and he was one of the youngest trainmasters in the country. By degrees' he climbed. The post of division super- ! intendent awaited him. j He rose to an important vicei presidency in 1916 and then when j it appeared almost certain he would j became president of the entire New ; York Central system, he handed his ! friends a jolt with the announce- | ment he had accepted the presi- ! dency of the Nickel Plate. Christened “Nickel Plate" in a spirit of irony, the little line was a joke to all the railroad world, but with four years of Bernet management, it astonished the country. ! Its $35 stock had jumped to S2OO | or more and was paying 11 per cent. Smaller lines had been merged into the reconstructed Nickel Plate. Gross income had increased 100 per cent. Many miles of new tracks had been laid, shops and terminals built. The Chesapeake <fe Ohio. Hocking Valley. Perc Marquette and other lines were drawn into the system. When the Erie was added to the Van Sweringen string, Bernet be- ! came its president. In twelve months after Bernet took the helm the Erie had been revamped into one of the speediest and best conditioned roads in the country. Never “Short-Changed” Job Bernet is said to be a man of exceedingly few words. He was perj suaded to talk about his rise to power only to this extent. “I’ve thought the railroad business the best in the world and the worst. At times I've kept on at it only to see what in blazes would happen next. “But no matter what I’ve thought, felt or wanted to do. I’ve remembered that I picked my job and the job did not pick me; that the railroad could get along better without me than I can without i f - ""d I’ve never short-changed my Job.”

The lake is absolutely stocked with fish. There are many parks, among which are Holden park, Manitou park, Best View park, Ferndale park, Shobe’s park. Some of the hotels are Fairview hotel.
