James J. Hill Is the Napoleon OF

Hill is one OF the most picturesque
and interesting figures that have been
upturncd by the great industrial evo-
luton OF the United States. He has
created empires in railroads, but never
has word been said Of him that re-
fleets upon his absolute integrity In

used to be mud clerk on the Mis-
sissippi. but man with his brains
was never destined to check ship

desk and his bills OF lading to go to the
war and OH his return engaged himself
in the packet business. Through that
line he made his way into railroadins.
AS IN upbuilder OF railroads Mr.. Hill
has no equal. The Hill lines are the

and creative power. Mr.. Hills fame
had been secure on past performances.

Chief Of Police Howe. but none of the
missing property was discovered. Mrs.
Simpson claims that she had boarded
with Mrs. Proudfoot, and had gone
away leaving her trunk. When she
afterwards sent for it she discovered
that it had been opened and about SIS
