A GREAT BOER LEADER.
Gen. Cronje, Who Opposed the British
at Modder River.

at Modder River.
While Gen. Joubert, commander-in-
chief Of the Boer forces, is the tactician,
Gen. Cronje, who commanded the Beers

Of the Transvaal army. OF the two
Cronje Is the more representative Boer.
Joubert, possibly from his French an
cestry, is q man Of a certain polish,
and can be indirect when policy re-
quires. Cronje is blunt ana always to
the point. His craft is that of the hunt
er, and thinly DISCUSSES the force that
awaits only the opportunity.
Gen. Cronje Is greatly admired by
the Beers. They think Joubert Is q
wonderful tacticlan and organizer, but
they love Cronje, the silent man, of sud
den and violent action. He is no mans
friend. His steel-gray eyes peer out
from under huge, bushy brows. He
never speaks unless necessary, and
then in the fewest words. He never
asks a favor. When time for action
comes he acts, and that with the force
of fate, and with no consideration for
himself or his men.
Cronje is a soldier and nothing else.
He hates form. He hates politics,
though born leader of men. He was
strongly urged to oppose Kruger for the
Presidency in 1898, but he would not
He will have none of any rule but that
of the rifle. He despises cities. He is q
man Of the welt.

JOHN INSLEE BLAIR.
aMASSED $50, ooo,o 900 AND LIVED
TO HIS e9TH YEAR.
He Was the Owner of More Railroads
than Any Other Man and Was Also
the Biggest Land Owner in the United
States.

One of the richest Of Americans, John
Inslee Blair, died at his home in Blairs-
town, N. j., from old age, being in his
ninety-eighth year. For a very rich
man he was comparatively unknown
and his entire life was passed on and
near the Delaware River, where it d.
vides Northern New Jersey from Penn
sylvania, which tended all the more to
his obscurity. But his departure opens
up to view rare and splendid charac-
ter who made the most of his opportuni-
ties and the possibilities for rapid en-
richment only to be found in our own
country.
Mr.. Blair came Of Scotch blood, his
ancestors settling in New Jersey in
1920. They were Presbyterians of the
most orthodox type. The subject of
this sketch was born Aug. %, 1902, at
Belvidere N. j. He was one of eleven
Children, eight sons and three daugh-
ters.
The first money he earned was by
trapping rabbits and muskrats and
selling their skins at 81 for sixteen. Be
fore he was II years old he was clerk
in the general store of his brother, at
Hope, N. j. At II he owned store of
his own. He became postmaster at
Butts Bridge. He started two of his
brothers in business and they, too,
prospered. At one time he had five gen.
eral stores in as many towns. He es-
tablished the Belvidere Bank in 1881.
A cotton mill fell into his hands and he
operated it for several years. He bought
a cargo Of cotton which was supposed
to be damaged, but which was injured
very little, and in one year made $115,-
000-an enormous profit in those days.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1900-02-09

He had also four Touring mills in oper
alton at one time in Warren County.
He accumulated real estate in large
quantities through trade, and came to
be wholesale merchant. Soon he was
we'll on to being a millionaire. Then
he tried to make iron with anthracite
coal at Slocum Hollow, now Scranton,
Pa, in 1S43, and became interested in
the Scranton Coal and Iron Company.
1t was through his financial backing
that this company was enabled to sup
ply the Erie Railway, then building
near Port Jervis, with rails. The com.
pany was reorganized, with Mr.. Blair
as principal owner. 1t obtained char
ter for a railroad from Scranton to
Great Bend, called Leggetts Railroad,
and which was to connect with the Erie.
This was the real beginning of the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western sys-
TEN. For some years the company had
to send out men to teach people to use
anthracite coal. Many declared that 1t
would not burn. In all the successive
stages of the building Of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western, Mr.. Blair
was the master spirit, and his mercan-
tile genius caused him to profit i'm
mensely by the development Of Scran-
ton.
Mr.. Blair caused the first auction sale
of coal to be made in New York, just
prior to the war. By this means he
kept the price of coal up and at the
same time defeated the cry Of monopo-
ly. Before the war there was little or
no demand for iron, but his company
kept right on manufacturing 1t. Sud
denly iron rose to $50, $50 and then 500
a ton.
A Railroad Builder.
Mr.. Blair next built a railroad In
Iowa, then Joined Oakes Ames in or
ganizing the Union Pacific and con-
Strrcted its first hundred miles west
from Omaha. He built railroads by
the dozen in the West. The great un-
dertakings of which he was the master
have never been duplicated by any 9th
er American. Jay Gould at times had
to accept his terms. He held the mort
gage bonds of scores Of railroad com.
panies, some of which were absolutely
in his power. He washed his hands OF
the Chicago and Northwestern Road tc
the extent of 100000 worth of stock
because he did not approve of the ex
tension policy of the company. The
money which he received for this stock
he brought East in two satchels and de
posted personally in the Park Bank IN
|, New York City. In the building Of al
4 his Western roads Mr.. Blair obtained
enormous land grants as premiums. Ii

that moles are a greater benefit

Giving Kitchener the power to
hang by pressing prosecutions for
treason can only mean that the Bri-
tish Government is preparing to kill
prisoners of war. Doubtless the 81
tuation in the South African colo.
MES adjacent to the republics is
desperate. ~ But such a measure will
surely aggravate the Cape and Natal
Dutch, at the same time that it
shocks the entire civilized world and
justifies the armies of the republics
in mailing reprisals in Kind. Until

by the actual murder of prisoners Of

that it is anything more than a

and just as always happens when

bitter recrimination among the mi

Strained is the attitude of affairs as
to forbade a crisis near at hand, and
so strong is the opposition to the
