Logan Grant McPherson entered the railway service on the statistical side. He was chief statistician of the Rock Island twenty years ago, then statistical assistant for the associated railways. He had an active hand in organizing the Washington Bureau of Economics, which today plays an indispensable part in compilation of American railway traffic and achievement in earnings. McPherson was a constant attendant at the Century’s dinner-table.
