rHE GERAr NORTHERN SYSTEM.
The Great Northern system was be.
gun by the buying Of the old st. Paul
and Pacific road BY Mt Hill. This had
been built and was owned by Dutch
bondholders and Mr.. Hin raised the
money and bought 1t for song. II
represented only few miles OF track,
aud II had been rather extensively built.
1t was not well enough made, however
to suit Hill, and he tore up the track
and reduced the grades until he made 1t
50 that one locomotive would do the
work OF three IN going over Il. He
gradually extended his lines into the
great Red River valley lie saw that
this was TO bethc bread baskets OF the
United States and he has gridironed 1t
with railroads, Then he built, in con.
neciion with the British government and
others, the Canadian Pacific railway.
And he was. am told, the practical
man to supefiniend the construction OF
this road from Winnipeg TO the west.
He mad a connection with Il from Winni-
peg for his roads In Minnesota and
Dakota, but when the Canadian govern
ment decided TO extend their line on
toward the east he at once saw that
this would cut of his revenue from the
west and he planned the great trunk line
which was this month completed. He
went over the whole line on foot and ON
horseback, and he knows, am told,
every foot OF track and the character OF
nearly every section Of land along his
nearly three thousand miles Of maH,
track. He has made a thorough stud,
Of what is under the soil rs well az VIVA,

EI'cai Correspondence Of ne Desorci Neief.
ST. PAUL, April }. is95.-"Well boys,
(, ou may laugh at Jim Hill now, but the
time will soon come when you and
every railroad manager Of the United
States will have to take your hats oil to
Jim Hill. He is the greatest railroad
man in the country today. and you'll
have to acknowledge III"
The speaker was S. s. Merrill, the
manager Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railway. 1t was at meet
ing of the great railroad men Of the
country, which took place few years
ago. James j. Hin oil ST. Paul, then
representing comparatively small line
Of road, had made speech in halting,
modest way. After speaking he had
leit the meeting and some OF the eastern
railroad men had laughed at his manner
and his ideas and this had angered his
old friend, Mr.. Merrill, and the above
prophecy was made. 1t las already
come true. The railroad men Of the
United States have long since begun to
take off their hats to Jim Hill and he has
since that meeting accomplished more
as a railroad builder than any man in
the world. He is, in fact, the modern
Aladdin of the great northwest, though
he is as yet practically unknown to the
rest OF the United States. You can buy
his photograph in the book stores. You
will not find his biography in any OF the
fat books ON millionaires and little has
ever been said about him in the news
papers. Still, he began his life here
without dollar and he Is now worth
more than s25,ooo,ooo. He started here
as a clerk on the levees along back near
the sixties and he is now the owner and
builder Of the Great Northern railway
system, which has lust been completed,

OF iron tracks has given us another

Eggs By Machinery.

The shrewi Yankee, who is credited with
turning out wooden nutmegs is outdOne By .
Quaker City denizen named Louis Gross, who
claims to be able to supply manufactured
egg which is as nutritious and heathftll as the
genuine article laid by an old hen. Indeed,
the inventor defies connosseurs to detect the
difference between the real and the spurious.
Mr.. Gross is here to have some machines made
to be used in the business. He has been
working with mudels, and the results are 50
satisfactory that he will establish factory in
Philadelphia at once.
Mr. Gross is backed by considerable Eastern
capital, and he says If he can get some Pitts
burgers interested with HIM he will build 4
pant in this city. He claim: he can make
the eggs for cents dozen, and they can be
sold for 10 cents at good profit all the yeal
around. He guarantees that they will never
spoil, and whether fresh or old they will al
ways taste like newly laid egg, and will build
up as much tissue in the human frame, if eat
en-, As the genuine article. They can be used
for all purposes in cookery. They can be
beaten like hens eggs, and assist in produc.
ing delicious cakes of all kinds. The whites
may be used for frosting and icings, and, last
ly the manufactured egg can be used on the
table.
1t is easily boiled, fried, poached or scram
bled. The only thing Mr.. Gross fears is that
as soon as he is launched in the manufacture
of eggs the farmers will combine and have a
law passed knocking him out, as they have
the oleomargarine men. The shells are made
out of pariermache baked hard and cast into
moulds the shape of an egg. A small hole is
left at one end, and first the viii te is put in
and then the yOlk. The manufacture of the
shell is simply enough, but Mr.. Gross de-
cines to tell by what process or out of what
materials he produces the interior Of the egg.
He says he has applied for a patent, and this
part of his invention must remain secret un-
til his rights are secured.
