Hartman said one day to Charles Ford.
his master of grounds. The railroad is
there.
II want a we'll drilled here" said Har-
riman as he stood on the very peak of
the 6OO-foot hill on which stands his cas-
tie.
Down through the great hill the drills
went until they reached the level of the
lowlands; then down they went SEQ feet
more before water was reached. That
well is a quarter of a mile deep, but
Hartman got the sparkling, cold watey
, he wanted.
For 16 miles up and down the Eric
railroad and IA miles back from it,
F., Hartman owns all the land. There
isn't a peak of the Ramapo mountains
that he can see that isn't his.
! John Viner has been superintendent
of this big farm for more than Is
years. His two older boys have good
jobs with the Union Pacific. Joseph,
the third boy, wanted to be either in
the navy or the army.
And, by the by, here's pretty little
story of how Hartman does things:
The boys mother heard that If he
went to West Point Joe would have only

years.

Hartman. In his own way Hartman
got the boy into West Point.
| The next summer, when the West
Pointers took their annual march, they
got orders to pass through Arden, about
40 miles from West Point and camp
there at night They camped half a
block from Joe Viner's home! This year
they did the same thing.
Everybody knows that Hartman gets
what he wants for himself. But here
in Arden they know that Hartman also
