He was the greatest railroad pioneer Of
the Pacific and Southern states as Hill
has been of the Northwest Towns and
cities were the direct creation Of Hun
tingtons army of railroad builders and
whole states proflted by his constructive
methods. When there were no more
railroad fields to conquer he invested
millions in ship-building enterprises. Thir-
ty thousand workmen have been on Mr..
HuntingtOns payroll at one time in the
larger companies controlled by him and,
counting the other enterprises in which
he was the main factor, his payroll has
contained as high as 100000 men.
A list of the more important corpora
tons in which Mr. Huntington was a
director and frequently an officer is as
follows:
California Pacific raiload ......... Director
Detroit Gas company ............. Director
Fuente Coal company President
Galveston & San Antonio Gulf rail-
road .............. President and director

And yet this Napoleon of the transport
tation world had more enemies than
usually falls to the lot of business men.
He was bitterly hated in California and
other Pacific states because he was the
champion of monopoly. He was a pow
eTful government lobbyist and understood
how to crush opposition with an iron hand
He was dragged into courts and before
Investigating committees with regularity,
but usually came out on top. 1t is said
that Mr. Huntington during the last two
decades had been on the witness stand
In various cases where his interests were
attacked not less than 800 times Natur-
ally he grew more grim and resolute the
more often the shafts of legal inquiries
were directed at his methods
But as a successful financier the life of
Coils P. Huntington has often been
pointed out as a model for American
youth who seek to carve out their own
fortunes. AS the melloWness of age tenn
pered the railroad magnate's usually
caustic demeanOr to outsiders he became
fond Of enunciating aphorisms for the
guidance of his juniors. Following are
samples:
appreciate the value of today"
Don't worry about tomorrow and don't
go against the tide
Command what you are worth and
always try to better yourself"
1.-THE chances are as good TODAY as
ever they were; even BETTER

so RULES ATTORNEY GENERAL
Overturn1ng Custom Which Has
Long Been in Vogue In This
State as to DiplO-

WINONA, Mimi. Aug. 15.-(special.)-
Some important rulings in regard to
normal school matters have been made
by Attorney General Douglas. They are
contained in the following letter to Res
ident Director MoEey:-
Dear Sir: Under date of 9Th inst. you
inquire my opinion upon the following
questions:
charges prescribed by section SS45 of the
General Statutes of 1894, in lieu of a dec
laration of an intention to teach in the
public schools of a state, entitle the stu
dent SO paying to the rights enjoyed by
those who do sign the declaration?
Second-Are the presidents of the nor
NAL schools of the state and the state
superintendent of pubic instruction bar
diplomas of graduates on evidence of sue
cessful teaching service rendered outside
the state, provided their obligation to
the state has been discharged to the pay
ment of tuition?
In my judgment your first inquiry
must be answered in the affirmative.
Section 3S41 of the General Statutes of
1894 reads as follows: AT the eXpira-
ton of two years of actual teaching serv-
ice the diploma of such graduate may
be Endorsed by the president of the nor
NAL school from which it was issued
and by the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, upon satisfactory evidence
that SUCH service has been successful and
satisfactory to the supervising school au-
thoriries under whom it has been render
ed. Such Endorsement shall make the
diplomas of the elementary course a val
Id certificate for five years from its date
and the diploma of the advanced course
a permanent certificate of qualification"
The second question must be answered
IN the negative, and with reference there
70, beg to say that the test applied by
the legislature for Endorsement of such
diplomas is that it shall be satisfactorily
made to appear both to the president Of
the normal school from which the diplo-
ma was issued and to the SUPERINTENDENT
of public instruction that the applicant
has taught not only one successful, but
also satisfactorily to the supervising
school authorities under whom such serV-
ice has been rendered

History.

The story Of Coils Potter Huntington's
life is that of an American Monte Cristo.
Born in penury, he died the possessor Of
probably 500 OOO,O 900, perhaps more. 1t is
doubtful whether the deceased railroad
magnate himself knew the actual extent
of his accumulat ions. His interests were
marvelously varied and up to the very
last he was still the tireless money-get-
ter, the Napoleon Of railroad finance and
the Midas whose every enterprise seemed
to turn to gold.
T Unlike some other self-made American
minionaires, Coils p. Huntingtons whole
career was creative and constructive. He
piled up millions upon millions of per-
scnal wealth, not by wreclling railroads,
but by building them. Like James ]. Hill,
of the Great Northern, Mr.. Huntington
and his associates made two blades Of
grass grow where but one grew before

ALTON's WESTERN VENTURE.
Rumored Deal Whereby That Road
VIII Purchase Kansas Pacific


VIII Purchase Kansas Pacific.
It is predicted that by the end of the
present year the Chicago & Alton road
will have a route of it's own between Chi
cagO and Denver Negotiations are said
TO be now in progress in New York for
the purpose Of affecting a deal whereby
the Union Pacific is to sell to the Alton
its Kansas Pacific division, running from
Kansas City direct to Denver The
Union Pacific has no particular use for
this property. 1t is not connected east of
Denver with its main line, and the latter
finds an outlet to Denver by means of the
Julesburg cutoff, which was formerly
owned by the Union Pacific, Denver &.
Gulf, but was acquired about a year ago
by the Union Pacific. The Alton needs the
Kansas Pacific badly, having no indie
pendent outlet west of Denver. It has
had for years q close traffic agree
ment with the Kansas Pacific but, not
controlling the lines, It could not COM
pete with the Burlington, Rock Island
and Santa Fe roads, which have lines of
their own west Of the Missouri for the
Kansas and Colorado business
e. H. Hartman. head of the syndicate
which controls the Chicago & Alton, is
also chairman of the board of directors
for the Union Pacific, and practically d.
reefs the affairs of the latter His in
terest in the Alton, however, is far great
er than in the Union Pacific, the Van
derbilts having a large interest in the
latter 1t has long been the opinion that
1t was Mr.. Harrimans object to take the
Kansas Pacific branch from the Union
Pacific, and make 1t part of the Alton
system.
Directors Of the Alton and Union Pa
cific roads will meet In New York on
Sept. l to complete the deal for the alb
sorption OF the Kansas City by the Union.
