An interesting fact In connection with the
presidents African journey has just come
to light, in the discovery of the individual
who is to foot the bills. This person is
Leigh Hunt, nominally Of Seattle. who
spends much OF his time in Washington.
and in other capitals of the world.
He is something of a captain of industry,
but more of a soldier of fortune. He has
had a varied and interesting career. and
has been connected with many vast com-
mercial, industrial and patriotic enterprises,
He has been much in the east in the last
twenty years, having left Seattle early in
the '9Os. to exploit important mining con-
c~essions obtained from the emperor OF
Corea. They were so profitable that Mr..
Hunt, in returning to America, went TO Sc
attic. where, having failed in business, he
owed large sums of money, and voluntarily
paid his creditors in full. with interest.
He afterward was interested in a move
ment to import negroes from America TO
raise cotton I'm the Sudan. with the assist
ance Of irrigation, and was there closely
allied with Lord Cromer. England's rep
resentative In Africa.
This enterprise was less profitable than
.the mines, and since then Mr.. Hunt has
been engaged In various more or less sue
cessful business ventures. Being a warm
personal friend OF President Roosevelt and
his family, he has, IL is understood, ar
ranged a pretentious program of entertain

The main office of the company Is
located in the heart of Omaha's retail

several years ago, which makes it pos

In those words or others, at the dedication
OF the new Carnegie institute in P%ittsburg
in 1907, "for a man to feel that he owns
a mountain. lie may know. intellectually,
that he owns It, but l defy any man to
feel a sensation of ownership as he looks
at a hill or valley. He simply can't realize
it,"
Edward II. Hartman can realize 1t and
feel It, II any man can, as he stands on the
roof of his completed home and looks over
the Ramapo range as far as he can see
It in New York state.
1t is venemently denied in every quarter
which has its inspiration from Hartman
that he is building a palace in those
Ramapa wilds. 1t is simply a home. they
say. and there is TO be nothing gaudy,
nothing splendid. Doubtless this is so from
Mr.. Harriman's standpoint, and it leads
to a feeling OF speculation among ordinary
citizens, unblessed or uncursed with wealth,
as to what Hartman would have done II
he had tried to be a Prince Of Ramapo.
