Hill is North Cafolinian by birth. but
early in life went west in search of for
tune-and found it. At first his fortune
was 20 work as a day-hand in a logging
camp, but for this he got good money and
saved it, there being nothing for which
he could spend it in the forests Of Min
nesota where he was at work. On his
savings he went to Cornell University, be-

into a splendid practice and met and mar

west is great and he believes that the de-
