HARTMAN RETURNS

A little, gaunt. frail man has de-
scended from an ocean liner attended
by the leading lights of the stock
market. BY the newspapers he is
heralded as wizard and necromancer
of finance, builder and organizer,
and whatnot. That is Hartman.
Up in Minnesota a mountain Of a
man. grizzled and fresh for battle, is
planning, planning, always planning.
That is J. J. Hill.
Ten years ago or so, the fight be-
gan. Hill, the careful seer into the
future built plan upon plan until he
had string Of track from the South
to the port OF Seattle. Here the jap
anese completed the circuit and SO the
cotton of the South went to the
Orient, furnishing traffic and freight
in abundance for Hill.
About that time Hartman appeared
IAN obscure banker-as the control
ling force Of the Chicago and Alton.
From that time on it has been a fight
royal. Hills first plan involved the
use OF the Vanderbilt control OF the
Illinois Central. And so it held for a
long time. The famous Northern Sc
curities, monster holding company,
was the bulwark that Hill built up to
keep the chain going.
Then appeared Hartman and back
Of the little man was money-the
whole resources of the Standard OH
company and money the like Of which
would have struck terror into any
other mans heart but Hills. Though
Hartman came close to forcing the
hand Of Hill. the affair was compro-
missed. Then a new war arose, and
the Vanderbilt road went over to the
Standard interests headed by Harri-
man-Theodore Roosevelt broke with
the help OF the efficient Knox the
Northern Securities company.
Apparently Hill was crushed and
the Standard had won. But Hill sees
in the big and in the future. Harri.
man works in the present with vast
capital and complete organization.
In the little interim between the
time that the smoke was just clearin.;
and the time when the whole battle
was over, Hill had outmarched Harri
man and gotten a new and shorter
route to Seattle. Instead of going
around by Chicago as in the old days
behold he has diagonal from Gal
veston-still In the cotton belt to
Seattle. And Hartman, the South
ern Pacific route and the old T-square
route to the new western port.
Then the fight lapsed and both rail
road camps have apparently rested. II
Is rumored that Hartman has enough
options and connections to open a new
continental route from sea to sea. /,
is true that Hartman is in a rundown
physical condition and has returned
from Europe to his country home t.
recuperate.
What will be the next move on the
checker board? What will the Battle
OF the Giants do for the country? Will
1t demoralize it with the shaking O
the stock markets. or will it quietl,
resolve itself into blessing for the
country in the better handling of traf
fic giving new arteries to trade?
That Is the question which man,
would like to know. But the littl,
man who has stomach trouble, ant
the great giant OF the northwest max,
no sign. .....
Still. Hartman has returned.

been limited that several local young
women are going to try their hand at
the business.
Can't you just see some Of the old
gallants sauntering into a feminine
barber shop late Saturday night. with
a weeks growth of beard on their
faces. to have their chins tickled for
about fifteen minutes by the fair
knights of the steel and brush? And

this kind would do a flourishing BUSH
ness for awhile but the novelty Of the
thing would soon wear off.
