SAYS TIDE HAS
BEGUN TO TURN
President James ]. Hill of the
Great Northern Sees Through
a Glass DarkIy.

New York, Feb. 21.-James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern Rail-
way company. who has returned from
st. Paul, expressed the conviction yes
terday that the tide of prosperity is
turning and that there are indications
of significant recession in business
AS Mr. Hill phrased it. the sails of
prosperity are being reefed'
General policies of retrenchment are
under way" said Mr.. Hill. Less money
is to be spent on new works. The effect
of this movement is being felt at the
present time in the falling off of orders.
The beginning of this movement is very
evident i'm Chicago.
Gradual Drawing In.
while I would scarcely call it a re-
cession in business. it is more of a
drawing in. The railroads are curtajI-
ing their expenses and placing fewer
orders. On our lines we will finish the
work we have under way and that is
all.
This movement toward economy is
scarcely .perceptible, but it should be
sufficient to relieve the strain from
good thing. It is better So as the cur
taiIment is gradual. Otherwise there
might be a sudden slump with serious
results.
'.The first tendency is toward the
curtailment of Injuries. Then there
will be a falling off in the amount of
manufactured articles. This will con-
tinue during the coming months. But
so far as concerns the future the year
1908 may be hard one. and then many
men may be out of employment"
