paragraph on j. j. Hill:
A man who has distinguished himself in
railroad management in the Northwest has
been here for week. Ii is ). j. Hill, presi-
Gent of the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railroad, who divides with Marvin 5. Hughitt,
OF the Chicago u Northwestern road, much OF
the credit for the development of the North
western territory during the past decade.
Mr.. Hill is a stocky man, low in stature. with
long limbs, on which ne moves about with the
aIertnesS, swing and vigor of a frOntiersman.
His face is round and rel, covered with iron
gray whiskers and muStache through which
a pair of thick lips disclose themselves. aud
over these large and prominent uOse is set.
His eyes, hazel in color, are shrewd and
piercing. He wears an ordinary business
suit OF black, and a derby hat pulled lar
down over his high forehead. His appear
ance is that Of a man of decision and firm
ness accustomed to abso ute dictation. He
is Canadian by birth, and started
ins life poor as Jobs turkey. He
once unioaded STEAMBOATS, at St. Paul.
Now he owns steamboat lines and
railroad lines and has fortune of several
million dollars He has great faith in the
Northwest and said in conversation that its
development has only just begun. Railroads
are being built all over the Northwest as feed
ers to main lines OF railroad, and competition
for franchises is exceedingly active. A s.ory

Mr.. Hill had been there to induce President
Cleveland to refuse permission to Mr.. Hughitt
OF the right of way for one OF his roads
through the Meade military reservation in
the Black Hills district. In abiding to this
Mr.. Hill said that it was a pure fiction, and
that he has not seen the president for six
months. In politics Mr.. Hill is Il partisan
Democrat, and has contributed to political
committees large sums Of money during the
last few ears. He declares that Minnesota
and other Northwestern states viii, Swing into
the Democratic column in the next decade,
and points for proof of his assertion to the
fact that Mr.. Blaine's majority of 4l,OOO was
cut down to 2. 500 for the Republican candi-

Washington Territory has population of
about so. 900. of which 5000 are Indians.
The area is about the same as that of Mis-
souri,, and YET there are nearly 1000 miles
of railroad laid in that territory, and there
are railway schemes under way that before
another twelve months are past will give
her a railroad mileage of nearly 5000
miles. This speaks well for territory SO
young and sparsely settled, and shows that
her people are full of push and enterprise
The ownership of the rails laid on the soil
of the territory is divided between three
railroad corporations, in the following pro-
portion: Northern Pacific system. 664
miles; Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, 263 miles; Columbia & Puget
