ton for the purpose Of building up the
Asiatic trade between the northern zone
lying from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
the Pacific coast, or in order to control
the oriental trade for their own ships?
"'In defeating their control of the
Northern Pacific and retaining it in the
hands of those who had built it up, and
with it the entire northwest, did we in
jure or benefit the people of the north
west?'
"The far-reaching policies of world
embracing commerce sought to be at
tanned by these gigantic financial
schemes cannot be better told than in
Mr.. Hills own picturesque and forcible
words:
"Cross the Pacific he says, and
what do we find? Millions of people;
and what can they buy? What can
man who earns shilling day-and
that is the average wage of the orient
buy of us? Can he buy luxuries? Can
he buy any great amount of manufac-
tured goods at all? No. He will buy
only what he is compelled to buy to
sustain life. He will do most of his
own manufacturing after little, for
labor with him is cheap and plenty. He
will want of us only the simple staples,
as grains, provisions, raw cotton, etc.,
from which to weave his cloth, and per-
haps little lumber, coal and some
hand tools. But his principal demand
will be for food-just the products
which the present coming population of
Americas great central and western
zone is prepared to furnish.
$50 here we have a big traffic prop
osition-to place the great surplus
staples of central and western America
at the door of the orient, and bring back
from the latter anything that we can
use. The future has in store for us
along this line vast commerce.
"'The next question is, how shall it
be handled, by what route shall it go?
Shall America handle it, or Europe?
Will it go by the Pacific or by the Suez
canal and Cape Horn? I hope that
America will handle it. Geography and
nature declare it and trade cannot resist
them.'
"'Now, the Burlington has food and
fuel to degree not possessed by any
other transportation system. Reaching
from Chicago to Denver, and from the
Twin Cities to st. Louis and Kansas
City, it covers the richest and most di-
versifed zone in the world in the pro-
duction of grain, and provisions and
fuel. What do these central prairies of
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska
require in return? They need lumber.
From where is the lumber to come?
From Washington and British Colum-
hio Tbot ic tho Op1y ropiop with a
The Conservative, 1902-01-09
Some Of this will come from the south,
but the bulk from the Puget sound
country.
The Key to the Situation.

Thus, on the one hand, we have
vast surplus volume of grain, provisions
and fuel in the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys seeking eastern and western out
let's, and a similar large surplus product
of lumber in the Puget sound country
likewise pushing for markets, and es-
pecially for the treeless prairie of the
Mississippi and Missouri Grain, pro-
visions, fuel and lumber constitute the
principal heavy staples which govern
traffic and make traffic routes. What,
then, have we reached? We have a
tremendous volume of traffic across the
northwest between Puget sound and the
Mississippi valley. The northern roads
will carry westward the meat and corn
and coal, together with the raw cotton
originating within Burlington territory
at St. Louis, and will place these pro-
ducts on the Pacific docks for export to
Asia and for the return trip the freight
trains will bring back lumber for the
central west and east. Nature and her
products govern transportation routes
and traffic we railway men can simply
get in line or fall by the way.
What, then, is the O., B. & Q. today
as it affects the interests of it's $4,000
employees, and the interests of the peo-
pie of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and of
the other states, which have created it,
and which, in turn, it has largely peo-
pied and enriched?
"It is still the Burlington, but new
and greater Burlington. Allied with
interests which control large part of
the traffic of the northwest from St.
Paul to the Pacific, it has become at
one stroke a great international thor
ough- fare. The tabled wealth of the
east, which Columbus sought as he
sailed westward, will come our way in
its journey from China and Japan to the
markets of Europe and of our own
own country.
"Why should millions of fresh capital
be consumed in extensions Of the O., B.
& @. to Puget sound when rails are al
ready laid and facilities already exist
and are made available by this combi-
nation, for accomplishing the same re-
suit? How much more in harmony
with the natural development of the
Burlington this alliance seems to be
than would have been it's control by any
interest that would have repressed it's
growth and determined it's sphere of
usefulness by considerations, foreign to
the interests of the people whom it now
serves.
'The realization of these predictions
for the future will mean not simply the
Burlington, gentlemen, that you have
been proud Of, but an improved Bur
lington being constantly made better
more employees, more trains,a faster fast
mail and better service generally, and
speed the day, so say we all!'

business motives which led to it and to
judge of its ultimate effects for the good
or ill Of the people are g. E. Perkins
and James J. Hill, and I take the lib
erty of reproducing here their views of
the situation, which you will recognize
as more important than any contribu-
tion could make to the subject. Mr..
Perkins said recently in a published
letter:
The G., B. e. @. company will con-
tinue to do business precisely as hereto
fore with Mr.. Harris as president and
the organization unchanged. But it will
be assured of what it does not now
possess, a permanent connection by the
shortest line with the great northwest,
rich in minerals and lumber, with it's
markets for agricultural and other pro-
ducts, and with the commerce of the
Pacific ocean. On the other hand, the
northern roads will be assured of per-
manent connection with the shortest
line with the agriculture and manufac-
lures of the middle west, and the mar
kets to be found there for the products
of the north and the commerce of the
Pacific.
" The whole effect of the combina-
tion will be beneficial. Look at map
and see how the lines Of these corpora
tions fit into and supplement each other.
And when doing so it will interest you
to trace, and compare with these rail-
roads Of today, the line of march of
Lewis and Clark, who took possession
of the Louisiana purchase for the gov
ernment of the United States hundred
years ago.
"Mr. Hill has set forth in an inter
view, in detail, the efforts made by
Union Pacific interests to secure control
of the Burlington. The result Of such
control would have been to largely
shut out the vast territory, reached by
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern companies, from access to this cen.
trail Mississippi and Missouri Valley
region. That attempt was defeated,
accompanied, as 1t was, by the greatest
corner in stocks that was ever known,
and involving the risk of tens of mil.
lions of dollars.
Some Pertinent Questions.
"Mr. Hill then asks these pertinent
questions, which are of great interest to
the people of Iowa:
Did the Union Pacific people, with
their railway lines extending from
Omaha and New Orleans to California
and Oregon through the several states
in the middle west and south, purchase
majority Of the stock of the Northern
Pacific company for the purpose of
aiding that company and increasing the

Score another for the adventurous Ameri-

an appalling thing. In 1863 it destroyed
