intuitively conservative methods saved
him from making any vast ventures.
In 1861 Gardner LETT the firm, and
Clark and Rockefeller began dabbling
IN oil. Their efforts were seconded by
one Samuel Andrews,a shrewd, recently
arrived Englishman, who in short
time made deal with Rockefeller, by
which they entered into partnership.
Andrews was a born Spectator, with
brilliant, blood-tingling ideas. and
Rockefeller'S conservatism furnished
Just the anchor needed. A small re-
finery was established, and while An
drewS attended to the buying, selling
and contracting. Rockefeller locked
after the mechanical and practical BUSH
ness end.
Shortly after this Stephen Y. Hark-
ness, who had made good fortune in
lumber deals, aud who wished to give
his brother-in-law, Henry Nj. Flagler, a
start. advanced S10,000 in cold cash into
the hungry palms of Rockefeller and
Andrews. on the understanding that
Flagler and himself were to be given an
interest in the firm.
With this additional capital at their
command the three men, Andrews,
Rockefeller and FlagleF. entered into

scale. Rockefeller made several trips
into the oil fields. and the profit of the
firm, through his shrewd observations,
soon reached enormous proportions.
1t was his idea to subSidiZe the rail-
roads and obtain cheaper rates of freight
than any of their competitors could OBJ
tain, and it was in this way that they
virtually obtained control of the Cleve-
land oil market. They were not slow to
benefit by this opportunity, and at the
close of the war the firm was regarded
as the leading concern engaged in the
trade.
Rockefeller also suggested to his part
nerS the advisabiiity of turning their
concern into stock cOmpanv.and when
they agreed the Standard Oil company
came into existence.
The history of this great CORPORA
ton which has prospered and thriven
upon the downfall of rival con-
cerns, and which has crushed out
every competitor, until now it
is the greatest living eXemplifcation of
the word monopoly, is known in every
mercantile city IN the world.
Year by year Mir. Rockefeller's fort

nothing he is now the richest man in
the country.

The opening of the Grand avenue cleo
trio line Yesterday is an event fraught
with considerable Importance to st.
Paul. 1t is an epoch of great interest
IN the growth of this wonderful city.
The opening of that line is the first of a
series W ich, while making a network
of communication around the city and
its suburbs will also ultimately bring it
in still closer union with Minneapolis
and hasten on the hoped-for amalgama-
ton. Rapid transit is at last within the
grasp of people. The Inconvenience of
the past can now be forgotten. and the
impetus which is certain to be given the
building trade will enhance the value
OF inside property and set acre-lots
ADJOINING. The electric line opened
yesterday is an assured success. The
great saving in the expenditures in
Cured for operating is sufficient to gOad
the street railway company to action in
at once placing their entire street car
service under the electric system. That
this is so is indicated by the
contract, the magnitude of which has
deeply impressed the entire country,
which Thnmas Lowry the past week
has entered into. A contract for S2,000,-
900 is not an everyday occurrence in the
circles of street railway contractors,
and it is the largest yet made for the
construction of electric railroads. AS
is generally known, this S2.000.000 con-
tract covers the street railway system of
the Twin Cities. Electricity is the mo-
tive power of the future, and the city is
to be congratulated Oh the fact that it is
now-thanks to the public spirit of
Archbishop Ireland and Thomas Coch-
ran Jr.-in the front with other cities in
the expedition now afforded in the mat
ter of street transportation. For few
years. at all events, the present cable
lines will continue to run, but as the
electric system becomes improved and
means devised whereby Eeagy grades
can be overcome, there is Little doubt
that they also will Succumb to the in
evItabe march of progress. The cable
line affords good transit facilities, but
the operating expenses will condemn it
in the eyes (n0t to mention the pOcketS)
of the magnates of the street railway
company.

That the prospects Tor spring trade
are weekly assuming a more rOseate
hue are apparent to the most casual OBJ
server or passing events. The scheme
of Henry Willard to utilize Meeker dam
to supply the Twin Cities with power
and light, and then the announcements
that Thomas Lowry will at once pro-
coed to extend his electrical railroad,
must have a good and an enervating
effect in realty circles. Col. J. Ham
Davidson has recently returned from
the East, and expressed himself conf
dent that the present will be good
business year. The trade outlook in
the East Is good. The iron works are
working with full hands. the factories
have difficulty in filling orders, and the
general merchant has ceased to
grumble. What better sign could there
be of the growing prosperity of the
country? All this business activity will
have its reflex OH the West. With good
ter prices should be obtained for the
farmers produce. and, as upon the
general veal OF the farmer in
the Northwest the stability of the
Twin cities largely depend, the
fact that they are assured an increased
competence for their labor must GER
tainly work to advantage of st. Paul
and Minneapolis. Added to this. the
country westward is daily becoming
more settled. Hundreds upon hundreds
of people are daily flocking to The res
eryation lands just opened to the public,s
and continual string are daily finding
new homes in North Dakota. Montana
and Washington. These people depend
largely for their supplies Oh the Twin
Cities. Consequently as the country
westward becomes more thickly popu-
lated so must the jobbing trade of st.
Paul and Minneapolis increase.

Taylor's renting agency reports an
unprecedented demand for houses the
present month. and already the list is
crowded for homes required by May l.
There is difficulty as to how all the
people are to be accommodated. for,
from reliable reports, it appears that
hundreds of new people are weekly ar
irving in the city searching for homes.
MIR. Taylor says the lack of houses ex-
lists among suitable dwellings for citi-
Zens paying rental of SIS to $25. and
the professional class, paying rental
of SIS to 500 per month. The demand
for houses renting at $50 to So is not at
all pronounced. and there are many
such easily obtainable. The various
flats and apartment houses are being
eagerly taken up by hOusehoIders. A
big tenement building was placed in
Taylur's hands for rental about ten
days ago, and every room is now occu-
pied.

A call upon the leading architects
demonstrated one fact beyond any
doubt: That this is to be big house
building year. There may be scarcity
of houses to-day, but it is not likely to
be so markedly manifest six months
hence. The Midway district appears to
be the point which owners are showing
a strong inclination to improve.
Hundreds Of houses, the rental of which
will average from $50 to $40 per month,
are going to be erected i'll this district.
University avenue is receiving consid-
cradle attention in this direction, con-
sequent upon the projected electrical
line connection with Minneapolis. This
is without doubt one of the growing res
idential locations in the city. With the
electrical line in operation, there is not
only afforded quick communication
with st. Paul. but also cheap
one with Minneapolis. On the West
side and in East st. Paul-the Dayton
bluff district-there are in preparation
scores of plans for houses that are to be
built as soon as the winter lets up. The
building on the West side will be par
ticularly vigorous in the event of the
electrical system being. extended on the
lines now worked by horse cars.

the Post please inform US how it is
that two years ago the Sentinel

matter what Mr.. Merriam or his
