XIiL TIE CENTRAL FIGURE.

IN speaking Of railroad. dock
and mine development and the
new factors jn these industries,
the Inland Ocean says that of
course the central figure in the
mighty railroad development
taking place in this section is
James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern road. Mr.. Hill
long ago recognized the strategic
importance of Superior from a
commercial standpoint, and he
has been quietly at work for more
than ten years with a view of
eventually controlling the bust
ness Of the head of the lakes.
That he now has the situation
pretty we'll in hand is generally
admitted, especially if he has
secured control Of the st. Paul &
Duluth road as announced a week
ago. During the past year and
q half he has spent millions in
building the Fosston branch.
with it's immense terminal yards,
warehouses and shops, and he is
now building the largest elevator
in the world at Superior to care
for portion of the increased
business derived from the new
road. With the construction of
this line he secured control Of
the Duluth, Superior & Western
road and It's excellent terminals
and ore docks on Allouez Bay.
During the past winter he pur-
chased the Duluth, Mississippi
River & Northern, a logging
road 100 miles in length which
taps some of the mines on the
Mesaba range, and it is now def
nitely announced that this road
will be extended to a number Of
other mines and eventually to
the Canadian border and the gold
fields. A week since he secured
control Of the dock and railway
Of the Northwestern Coal Rail
way Company on Allouez Bay,
thus adding largely to his termi-
nal facilities at that point. It is
now very plain that Mr.. Hill is
after big slice Of the iron ore
traffic, and he is going to get it
by expanding several million
dollars this year in providing fa-
cilities for it. 1t should be added
that it is the intention to connect
this road with the new Canadian
line now being built through
Manitoba from Fort William.
Canada, to furnish an outlet for
the Manitoba grain fields.
