charge them with inactivity-but to
bring the influence of the state to
their support to show the government
that we of this state were thoroughly
alive to the benefits Of irrigation that

Growth and Possibilities of the

State.
Before an audience the crowded the
Alheneum to its utmost ca. acity, and
surrounded by prominent men of the
state and the Northwest, Mr.. Hill was
this afternoon introduced by Governor
White as a man who knew more about
more things than any man of whom he
had knowledge. Mr. Hill was cordially
applauded as he rose TO speak, and in
opening alluded to the fact that he
had a warm spirit in his heart for this
state as it was the scene of his early
endeavors Abiding to the remark
able growth and development of the
stat since he first came to the Red
river 33 years ago, Mr.. Hill recited
that all wealth came from four sources,
the soil, forest. mines and the sea, and
that of these North Dakota must look
to the soil for it's wealth. He related
the remarkable growth of the state in
twenty one years by citing figures. He
compared 'ailroad rates TO show their
reduction in that time and quoted
from statistics to show the ever in
creasing volume of business done at
the stations along his line IN North Da-
! kota. His address then showed the in
Independence of the people and the
railroads, where prosperity was con-
cerned.
