ident William Jewett Tucker to Ernest
Fox Nichols of Columbia today. No cere-
monies marked the day, it having been
previously arranged to hold the formal

President Nichols was absent from
Hanover and ex-Presdent Tucker planned
to pass the day quietly at his home on
Cocoon Ridge, a short distance from the
college over which he had so faithfully
presided for the past Is years.
Ill health was the cause of the resig
nation of ex-Presdent Tucker. At that
time a tribute was paid to his work and
a substantial token of regard was given
him when the trustees of Dartmouth an
nounced that it had been voted to retain
his name on the payroll of that institu-

the trustees will present his name to the
Carnegie Foundation fund for the award

dicted by J. J. Hill,

Satisfied With Crops.
Freight Cars Will Be at a Premium
Within q Few Weeks.

James j. Hill. the railroad magnate,
who yesterday was one of President
Taft's callers, this country will en-
joy prosperity which will at least
equal, if it does not surpass that
which it knew under the Mckinley ad-
ministration.
Last month I travelled extensively
through the West and 1 never saw
such activity among the farmers Ev-
erywhere 1 made inquiry and learned
anu saw that the crops were abund-
ant and that the farmers We're salts
fed. Signs of the financial depression
of 1907 are fast fading.
"Fleieht cars will be at n premium
within Il few weeks. We of the rail-
road world judge the prosperity Of the
nation as much by the number of idle
cars as anything else. Throughout the
past year there have been thousands
idle but they will soon be rolling about
the country filled with freight"
