THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
James j. Hill Towers Above All Others in
Its Upbuildirg.
He doth bestride the. narrow world
Like colossus.
Shakespeare.

A series of letters, regardless of
how incomplete, intending to des-
cribe journey across one-half OF
the northern states and over the
Great Northern railroad, would be
still more incomplete if they did not
in some manner stouch upon the re
markable career OF Mr.. James J.
Hill, the president of that great
system, who nursed the enterprise
in it's infancy and who piloted it
over the uncertain financial waves
of panic and storm until to day it
stands out as one of the great trans
continental trunks with remarkable
engineering feats in nearly every
state through which it traverses,
and cutting through territory des-
tined to be the greatest wealth
producer in this union.
Fifty years ago Mr.. Hill was help
err on the steamboat docks of St.
Paul. He showed remarkable in.
sight into transportation questions
and worked rapidly upward in the
estimation of shis employees. Ten
years later, as those who have kept
pace with our Forty Years Ago
feature known. he was in charge of
those docks and practically in COM
mand of all the Transportation in
and out of ST. Paul, While, at that
time, the daring railroad enthusi-
asts were contemplating the work
of building a railroad from St. Paul
to the Pacific coast it was many
years later, during the great Viii
lard ascendency and decline, that
the Northern Pacific was 6ually
completed.
The ST. Paul & Pacific was organ
lied in 1869, or even before that
time, with number of st. Paul no.
tables as incorporators, but when
the officers of this company found
that they were paralleling the
Northern Pacific in the construc-
ton of that system, and that one
railroad was gquite enough in that
unsettled country, they turned
over the new company to the North
ern Pacific. In 1873 came the great
Jay Cooke financial smash and the
Northern Pacific was obliged to re-
lease its hold on the st. Paul & Pa
cific. The first division of the lat
ter road was then in trouble, de-
faulting on its interest, and the
trustees took possession with an
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1905-09-13

Iowa man as receiver of the COM
pany, and also in charge of the
first division of the road. The
bonded Indebtedness of the company
was then $25, 600, 900, and it became
necessary to call upon Divine Prov
Iidence, for man who could take
hold of the systemEand tide it over
the financial storm of those trying
days.
Nature is everfecund, ever var
led, IN sending uplhuman kind, and
at this critical period, through those
powers known only to Providence,
she directed the attention of those
interested in the company to the
young man in charge of the steam
boat docks in st. Paul-Mr. James
]. Hill. He responded with more
or less reluctance, but in a short
time his master mind conceived the
plan for surrounding all obstacles
and placing the road on as good a
basis as those early days and I'M
settled lands would permit. With
Commodore Kittson, then the owner
of line of Reds.River steamboats,
and one of the noblest of the early
residents of sSt. Paul, he planned
reorganization aud formed a syndi-
cate to buy up the bonds of the St.
Paul & Pacific. These we're held
in Holland and the holders were
greatly discouraged over the fail
ure to realize interest and over the
condition of the railroad and the
country through which it passed.
The Bank of Montreal was inter-
ested in the scheme, through Mr..
Kittson being personal friend of
England S special representative in
Canada, and with such an institu-
ton back of themsMr. Hill and Mr..
Kittson bought up all of the bonds
at very low figure, although
great deal more than they were &C
tually worth at that time.
! IL his Observation, Mr.. H. P. Hall
continues the story: Pending this
reorganization the syndicate name
had filed several gaps in the sys-
TEN, and when final foreclosure came
