VIZ. HiII,s Great Work.

The history of the Great Northern rail
way under his management showed from
the start that a master hand was at the
helm. Fourteen years have passed since
he took charge of the property, and in
that time he has built nearly 1000 miles
of railway, making the pre- Mt mileage
of the Great Northern 4,253 miles. 1t is
a continental system extending from
Lake Superior and St. Paul 10 Puget
sound, with branches 10 Helena and
Butte. and projecting southwark from
Minnesota into Southern Dakota, and
except that part of the system within the
limits of Minnesota. il has been built
without the aid of land grants or any
form of subsidy. 1t is supplemented by
a line of steamships on the lakes, which
surpass in capacity and speed any which
plowed the waters of the lakes before
them. and these will soon be reinforced
by 4 fleet of splendid passenger steam
ships, which viii equal. and in many re-
spects surpass the fieetest and most splen.

In about the middle OF the procession was
an open carriage containing four people. a
lady, two gentlemen and a child. The child
was Mamie Schwartz, the little girl who

the historian may write glowing words
and the brush of the artist paint living
pictures, but neither pen nor brush can
tell the people SO vivid, so graphic and so

decorations, which were elaborate, were
