What the Northwest Magazine
Says OF the Railroad Man.

Says Of the Railroad Man.
The Northwest Magazine Of recent
date published u short sketch of
Geo. w. Hubbard, which was embeLr
lished by splendid portrait OF the
genial passenger agent of the South
Shore, What was said OF the popu-
lar railroad man is reproduced as
follows:
Napoleon knew his business. "
Thus Emerson began his celebrated
essay on the great Corsican. And
it told the whole story of the re-
narkablc success of that most
wonderful man. George w. Hib-
bard, general passenger agent of
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railway, knows his business. This
fact, coupled with the personality of
the man, accounts for his rapid rise
in the railway world. He has tact.
He is suave OF manner and courteous
OF speech. He is direct and his
manner impresses one as sincere to
degree. He possesses every ele-
ment of the successful diplomat. II
you are going his way, though you
belong to the opposition, he will
make the journey pleasant. He has
that rare power of making business
friends--a power which reduces the
distance between desire and result
10 nearly straight line. Personally,
and personality counts for much, he
is on the best of terms with his as
sociafes and subordinates. The man
who does not possess the personal
fidelity OF his employees is in GER
tain sense a failure. He must &C.
complish his ends through other
hands and heads and these must
work as il they were his own. Mr..
Hubbard has been in his present
position since 1896 and il is through
his energy that the Duluth, South
Shore d Atlantic is able to hold the
key TO a larger portion of the west
ern passenger traffic. This railroad
which has become so closely identi-
fed with the development of north
ern Michigan, and which acts as a
governor on through gates, began
as the Detroit, Mackinac and Mar
quette. To this was added later the
Marquette, HoughtoH & Ontonagon.
IL 1887, the Duluth, South Shore q
Atlantic, having taken over these
roads, was completed TO Iron River,
Wis, and five years later was ex-
tended TO Duluth. The combined
trackage now amounts to $50 miles,
the $500" with the head
Of the lake and reaching by collateral
lines the mining regions Of upper
Besides holding the key
to the northern passenger traffic
between the east and the northwest,

become the popular route for the
summer tourist seeking rest and
health in the resorts Of the upper
axes. To accommodate this ipcreas-
ng business there has now been
placed in commission two complete
new trains modern in every point.

st. Louis ~Republio' Tntimates That
It May Change Hands.

The St. Louis Republic says. Uncem-
mon activity in railroad construction
prevails in the territory dominated by
St Louis. It is estimated that not less
than 1000 miles of new railroad lines
are under construction in Missouri, Ar
kansas, Indian Territory. Oklahoma and
Texas. Contracts have been let for at
least that many more miles, and pro
jected extensions viii add another 1000
miles.
ST. Louis dependence on eastern cap
ital has apparently become a thing of
the past. No feasible proposition seems
toe big fer St, Louis ffnanciers to I'M
dertake. The Manufa ctufers' Record,
a southern journal of CON meFce, in
this weeks issue says: THE eastern
financier is now put in the position Of
being permitted to get in favor, pro-
vided there is anything left for him af-
ter st. Louis investors have had a first
chance"
Not only is there an uncommon
amount of actively in the southwest,
but in the whole territory surrounding
St. Louis. In Missouri to the north and
to the east in Illinois railroad building
is going straight ahead, with new con-
structiOn, new projects new surveys.
This whole area of activity is part OF
the general scheme to center about st.
Louis and partake of its prosperity.
1t is reported that the Burlington is
after coal roads in Illinois, for the pur-
pose Of supplying coal to the Hill North
ern roads, in addition to the immense
supply now carried by that road. The
Jacksonville and St Louis is mentioned
as a coveted road, and one that win
be taken into the Hill system. Its sale
is becoming as often announced as that
of the Chicago, Peoria and St Louis.
The Frisco is in this position. If

tenn. In some quarters 1t is expected

ago came. The Santa F'e is a system
of a great deal of independent in port
ance, but there are those now who like
to talk of things that might happen in
an effort to put that system, along with
the Frisco, where they would not be
disturbing factors in the plans of other
great builders Of railroad systems in
the west and southwest. The men who
deal in railroads when they are not
playing golf or sailing yachts seem to
have centered their attention about St.
Louis, and almost anything Is expected.
No turn of any magnitude would now
be a surprise.

MAKE 1UMBER oHEAPER.
J. J. Hill Reduces Freight Rates to
Missouri River Points.

tt is said to be J. J. HIS plan to boom
the lumber Industry of the northwest bv
making such low rates as to force a reduc-
ton in the price of lumber. Mr.. Hill SAYS:
A short time ago when I visited the lum-
Der districts Of Washington and Oregon I
called the IuInbermen together and asked
them what kind of a rate they wanted in
order to get into the markets of the middle
west They told me that q 65-cent rate
would be satisfactory. I saw that they
were mistaken and told them SO, and have
offered to maui their lumber to Missouri
river common points for 90 cents per 100
pounds on fir and 50 cents on cedar. I made
the difference because more fir than cedar
is being shipped. Since 7 came back and
have given the matter close attention I
find 7 can assure the lumbermen of the
northwest even a lower rate than the one
quoted With the connection that We now
have, through our arrangements with the
Burlington. we are able to give a rate that

the fact that he is professedly a be-

ELEPHANTS IN CAPTIVITY.
The Birth of Dome sticated Animals
Is a Common Occurrence
in Burmah.

1t may interest many to know that in
Burmah and the adjacent southern
Shan states and karenni the birth of
elephants in captivity is by no means
uncommon To such an extent does
this go on that one might almost say
elephants are bred by the owners OF
studs. In karenni this is certainly
the case, says a correspondent of the
London Standard.
The instance of this which came
most before my notice was the birth of
a bull calf elephant in Keng-Tung, our
most easterly frontier station: The
parents were both commissariat ele
plants, and the period of CESSATION
was exactly % months, as dates were
recorded by responsible persons. A
long account of this appeared in "The
Field in the early part of 1899. When
travelling in the southern Shan states
have frequently seen female elephants
with unweaned calves.
Perhaps the most probable reason
for this fertility among captive ele-
plants is to be accounted for by the
fact that in the countries referred to
elephants employed by the govern
ment in the commissariat and forest
departments, and by Shan and Karen
chiefs. ETC.. lead Gar more natural
life than captive elephants elsewhere.

facture religions calculated to prey
upon the weaknesses and vanity of
their fellows for the purpose of rob-
berry.
During the last few years deep sor-
row has existed in her old Kentucky
home, caused by one of the most in
famous of the latter class, the notori-
GUS Ann Odelia Diss de Barr. Many
stories are told concerning the origin
of the. woman, among which is her
claim to be the daughter of King Lud-
wig of Bavaria and Lola Montez, a
dancer. Her respectable parents are
named Salomen, and at one time the
New York police received sad and
earnest request from her mother to
place her in an asylum for the insane.
A few years ago, as Countess Lands
feldt, the woman penetrated the most
exclusive circles of Baltimore. Leav-
ing behind her trail of unpaid bills,
she then went to New York, where she
met and hypnotized (the word is used
for lack of a better which the lam
guage seems to need at the present
time) the noted lawyer, Luther r.
Marsh, who had just lost his wife and,
feeling desirous of obtaining mes
sages from the other world, fell easily
into the hands of the adventures, who
was masquerading as Princess Editha.
The ascendancy which she gained over
Mr.. Marsh led to one of the strangest
cases ever told before the New York
courts. The lawyer had one of the
most extensive practices in the coun-
try, and as attorney for large corpora
tions and individuals of great wealth,
transacted millions of dollars worth
of business. His reputation for keen
ness in legal matters was great. Diss
de Barr delivered series of lectures
on Spiritual lism, and she and her fam
ily' became installed in the house of
Mr.. Marsh. which she referred to as

of old masters, long since departed this
life. With her at this time was a

knowledge. instituted suit and the Diss
De Bars were lodged in the Tombs. The
