GREAT FORTUNES
OF RAILWAY KINGS
ESTATES OF GOULD, HILL, HARRl-
MAN AND OTHERS coMPAR-
ED-VALUEs NOT FAR
APART.

New York. Feb. Elm 1904 James
J. Hin and his family were understood
To be the owners OF about 100000
shares of the Great Northern Railway
company At par these shares repre-
scented $S0,OOO,O 0O estimated upon the
market values which prevailed about
that time they were worth from $140.-
900 200 to SI5O,OOO,O0O.
These were the estimates of men
who had some good means Of informa-
ton respecting the ownership by the
Hill family Of Great Northern Railway
property They may have been rough
estimates. and an expert inventory of
the property might not have yielded
figures which would have balanced
with these estimates. but the general
belief i'm New York City for some
years has been that the share Of Mr..
I'LL and his family in the properties
which he created and perfected was
five years ago, in money value about
$50 000. 900.

Not an overest,mate.


The statistics then furnished iusti-
fed Mr.. HIS friends in saying that it
was by no means an overestimate to
report that the wealth OF that North
west represented in dollars was about
81. 500 0OO, 600. Almost all of this wealth
could be traced. directly or indirectly,
to the opening up of the vast. silent
forests and the bisecting of the prairie
lands which like the ocean, were
bounded by the horizon and by the
railroads Mr.. Hill conceived and by his
own personal effort built.
In the early summer of 1909, few
days before Mr.. Hartman sailed upon
his health seeking visit to Europe, he
was in consultation with one of his
most intimate business friends. In the
course of the conversation he said as
reported by his friend later: II have
been looking over my affairs have
been taking sort of inventory Of
what | have got. | find that my per-
sonal property is somewhere between
$50, 600, 600 and $S4. 100000"
When the inventory Of Mr.. Harri-
mans estate was made at his death II
was learned that his own estimate of
his fortune was not far out of the
way. His personal possessions were
about $4,000, 900, and the fact that a
larger estimate of his wealth than that
was made at the time of his death was
due to the placing in Mr.. Hartman
name of large blocks of securities
which he did not own.
Growth Of Wealth.
When Mr. Hartman began his WORK
with the Union Pacific shortly after
the first Inauguration of Presiden
| Mckinley he. was estimated TO b'
worth two or three million dollars. III

some standards. but not rich at all &C

Hartman accumulated one of those
fortunes the size OF which has made

| especially. the wealth of that regior
which lie called the empire like south

rectly To these railway properties, wal

Moving picture films Offer unusual
educational advantages. for they catch

Moving pictures are feature Of the

There is no doubt that a picture

Johns.

DR.. J. N. Johns after an illness Of
about a month died at his home On
Pine street at A o'clock Wednesday
morning, May 1T. Tie was born Dec.
Is, 1843, and graduated from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania in 1870, after
which he located in Bridgeville where
he practised his profession for three
years, and then moved to Seaford. He
was a man of excellent habits, fine
moral character, and sturdy constitu-
ton, and he continued to b. active in
his accustomed pursuits till long past
the age at which men ordinarily drop
out of the ranks of the workers. He
met most of the conditions and situa
lions of life with a joke, and was a
practical, matter-of-fact man, but had
his own peculiar way of extracting
merriment from life a. it went along,
and he was not disposed to worry
about matters that could be bettered
in other ways. This spirit remained
with him to the last, and he retained
his clearness of intellect up to his
closing days The doctor was a life
long Democrat, true and sympathet-
ic friend; and his friends in Seaford
are legion, and many there are who
will miss the kind, efficient and faith
full service rendered by him. He is
survived by his wife and one son.
