STILWELL.S DREAM.
BY EDWIN 4. NYE.
Copyright 1903. By American Press
Association.

Our modern poet exhorts, "Do noble
things. not dream them all day long"
But 1t is always the dreamer who
does great things. His dream is neces-
sary to the progress of the world, to
| make the wheels go round
Columbus dreamed of the land on
the other side and found it. Napoleon
dreamed of empire and won it. Eavo-
marcia dreamed OF reform and died for
1T. Lincoln dreamed Of a nation saved
and saved it.
It must be so.
The dream must be vision of great
err things. 1t must lure to brighter
worlds and point the way And then
the dreamer must go out and make his
dream come true.
The great dreamer writes the great
book, builds the impossible bridge over
the chasm, lays a path for thought on
the bottom Of the sea, sends the mes
sage through the viewless air.
There was a man of Kansas CITY
whose name was Stilwell.
Stilwell dreamed a dream of an air
line of steel from the grainfelds OF the
middle west direct to the gulf. They
called it "Stilwell's dream" The mon
eyerats of Wall street laughed at it.
But
When the fnanciers of this country
turned their back on Stilwell's vision
OF direct communication with the gulf
he went to Holland and told his dream
to the Dutch capitalists. They fur
nlshed the money. The Kansas CITY
and Southern railroad was built.
Stilwell's dream came true.
10 be sure, he was cheated out Of his
nard earned share In the road, but the
road Is there, the direct fulfllment of
Stilwell's dream.
linen SulWell dreamed another dream.
Again the f1nanciers of the country
pronounced his dream a baseless fab
ric. They said 1t was impractical and
absurd
Stflwell wanted to build a railroad
from Kansas City through old Mexico
10 the gulf 1t was the old dream from
new point of view. StiIwen's vision |
has always been the benign one of |
connecting the great granaries of the |
west with tidewater thus saving TO |
the farmers the '1ong haul" transport
tation
Stilwell got the money somehow. and
the Kansas City and Orient road is
being built.
Your dreamer is oftentimes the best
unitarian. His vision makes things
come to pass

The land is situated south OF the

well that the district south of the Calu-

finest in Gary. The land described in
the sale is on the Crown Point-Gary
interurban. which when completed will
