liked the boss but thought that law
gave him a better opportunity, but
after a brief apprenticeship with
Senator Frank F. Kellogg, the lure
of the railroad got young Capron
again and in 1903 he returned to
railroading as an office boy with the
Northern Pacific, one of the joint
owners of the Burlington Lines.
