ST. PAUL. Dec I5-J j. Hill. President Of
the Great Mort ern Railroad. declined to-
day To reply to the query as TO whether he.
in connection with others. had entered upon
a plan to create great transcontinental
transportation line. Anything he might say
on this subject might In a measure Illustrate
his plans. as n says premature publication
has often done. He admitted having made
investments in Erie stock, together with a
few friends. but declares the Investments
were made solely because the roads were a
good property. and the investments would
yield satisfactory returns. He invested in
Baltimore and Ohio stock n few years ago for
the same reason. lie had nothing in view
beyond securing financial returns on the in
