valuable stocks. He is the coming North
western Vanderbilt.
The PILLsBURYS control some ten
millions of money, of which the enterpriS-

and equally valuable possessions elsewhere.

r. B. LANGDoN made his money as a
railroad contractor and real estate operator.

collecting rents. A million is very low
estimate for him.
The late HON. w. A. MoNAIR left an
estate worth $2,000.000 largely made
upon pine lands. His wife Is the
wealthiest lady in the Northwest.

recently lifted the cloud from title in a
Enthusiastically ingenious way.
No one would imagine PETER WoLFoRD

but he rolls in wealth just the same.
Economy is the road to wealth. has been
| his motto.
WILL E. STEELE is reported worth a
half million dollars. He is one of the few
rich men in Minneapolis who inherited
their money. Franklin Steele had no end
of money and Will is taking good care of
his portion.
J. E. BELL. whose Park avenue home
is a perfect palace, is making bushels Of
money out of linseed oil. He divides his

an old-timer, and all cautious old timers are
rich.
| WASHINGTON YALE made a fortune
out of real estate. He was the erstwhile
owner of the swamp which is now the beau

miller and held rich. A million is too low
for him, though he is getting there. He
would give good share of his lucre for

Milwaukee road, owns enough town sites in
the Northwest to depopulate Europe in set
Ting. He is worth million if cent.
| Cream is no name for him. Telephone
stock gave him quite lift.
| The GEoBGE B. WRIGHT estate makes a
nice plum. 1t is in that shape that it can
not be easily estimated, but would run to
million without losing breath. A consider
| cradle portion of the estate consists OF in
vestments at Fergus Falls.
II. G. and T. A. HARRISON make val
liable pair. and Security" is good name
for the bank they back. Jumped together
millions very hard.
J. K. and Fl. G. SIDLE, the financial
props of the First National bank, could call
down nearly three millions if pushed to it.
| A whole block on Nicollet avenue is one of
their little side pots.
| ANTHONY KELLY is probably not worth
much over a half-mlllion, and made it
mostly out of his business.

slowly, but he has got it just the same.

800, 900 until his uncle, Charles W. West,

house, is worth couple of millions prob
ably, and made the most of it out of the
| rise in realty.
WINTHROP YOUNG made most of his
half million out of judicious investments,
largely in real estate.
A. N. REED is probably worth three
fourths of million. He took care of a
good-sized fortune left him and has proba-
bly, more than doubled it in banking.
N. F. GRIswoLD, comparatively few
years ago, was selling patent tanning mills
and wire cupboards-IioW he's worth half a
million.
G. A. PnLsBuRY might be called the
original manufacturer of patent process
-four. He invested 500, 600 in the bust
ness and before the other millers could get
their machinery and plants ready he had
been making SIS profit per barrel for two
years and over. He may be worth six mill
ions, more or less. You can't tell, fol he
