to know, since he is the builder as
well as the president of the road in
question, the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient railway. Also in this connec-
ton 1t is wort y of note that once be-
fore Mr.. Stillwell built a railroad
which was lost to him by the reor-
ganization methods of high finance"
In the present and second venture
Mr.. Stillwell gave Wall street what
might be called absent treatment"
and the new railroad is one Of the
very few in the country that have not
received financial nursing from that
well-known quarter.
Railroad builders have been COM
mon enough, as have captains of in
dustry more or less identified with re-
ligion out Of business hours, but Mr.
6tillwell has attained unique prom
hence in that he frankly places his
business success as the result OF car
rying his Christian Science belief into
all his deeds.
During the 40 years since he was
born at Rochester, N. Y, there have
been many other interests than those
of religion to mark Mr.. Stillwell as a
man of original thought and action.
ut was In Chicago that he laid the
beginnings to his fortune and became
interested in the faith of which Mrs.
Eddy is the head. AS life insurance
agent there he made a record Dur.
ing this period he claims he was
cured of a spinal disease by Chris
tan Science healers, and in that way
became interested in their religion.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Stillwell sug-
gested to the president of the life
insurance company for which he
worked that certain methods should
be changed. That was many years
before the era of insurance investi-
cations and naturally Agent Stillwell,
the hustler" with the moral sense,
was discharged. Still he had saved
$4,000 and with that and his faith
he went to Kansas City to build his
railroad.
This was his first venture and since
then he has admitted that he was in
error. To be sure, he formed the COM
pany, sold by his personal efforts
! $40 100000 of bonds in Holland, and
finally saw completed the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf. a monument
to Mr.. Stillwell's ability, even
though it is no longer his and the
name he gave it has been changed
to the Kansas City Southern.
But Mr.. Stillwell was not discour-
aged. He decided to build another
railroad and not to ask any help from
Wall street, so he planned the line
from Kansas City to Topolobampo on
the Pacific coast of Old Mexico, a dis
lance of 1929 miles. President Diaz
of Mexico was so impressed with the
value of the road that he granted 1t a
100000 subsidy. while counties in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas came
