Tells PH!lAN1HRoP|c STORY
Paid a Trifle Over Four Million Dol
lars for Ore Lands He Now VAL
ues at Five Hundred Millions. So

Washington, Feb. 13.-Jamess j. Hill
entertained the Stanley steel corn
mittee and an audience composed Of
three or four hundred persons with a
story of philanthropy that caused
every one present to sit up in open
eyed wonderment. In matter OF fact
tone, as if he were discussing the
weather or the signs of the times, the
Northwest railroad builder told the
story of how he acquired ore lands
b tho Mesabi region that he now
values at $500, 600, 900 for a mere baga-
telle Of $4,050,O00.
These ore lands, Mr.. Hill testified
under oath. covering an area of g, 900
acres. were formerly the property of
Wright & Davis, a firm which oper
ated railroad and owned other prop
erty in the Mesabi region. Mr.. Hill
found out that this firm wanted to
sell and just as a deal was about to
be made with it by the Consolidated
company, a Rockefeller consern, the
head of the Great Northern stepped in
and closed the bargain at $4,050,000.
Mr.. Hill turned over his interest in
the newly acquired property to the
Lake Superior Consolidated company,
a corporation in which he, his three
SONS, l.. w., J. w. J. and J. N. Hill,
and e. T. Nichols we're the controlling
spirits. Mr.. Hill testified that he
; bought these ore lands for the benefit
of the shareholders of the Great
Northern. Asked if the Great North
ern had not supplied the funds that
enabled him to make the purchase
Mr.. Hill replied emphatically in the
negative.
II have been working for my share
holders for thirty-three years." said
Mr.. Hill. whenever I have seen an
opportunity to make money for myself
It was an opportunity that turned to
the advantage Of my shareholders"
Mr.. Hill was summoned by the COM
mittee to tell about the relations be-
tween the Hill and the steel corpora
ton roads in the Mesabi country and
also to narrate tho circumstances un-
der which the United States Steel cor
poration. represented BY J. r Morgan,
acquired the Hill ore properties under
loaso.
Mr.. Hill had barely commenced %
tell his story Of his operations in the
Lake Superior region when An ad-
1ournment was taken.

. New York, Feb. 13.-Presiden& Taft
brought his celebration Of Lincoln's
birthday to a close here with a. po-
Ntical speech to the Republican club,
IN, which he declared that It was his
belief that Republicans would tri-
umph next November and defined his
option Of those Of his own political
faith who call themselves progressives
but who, according to the president,
"are political emotionalists or ne','
rotlce."
For nine reasons, the president said,
the Republican party could be regard.
cd as the party Of progress. That
party. he said, had provided for the
''close regulation of corporations given
privileges by the state" had passed
and amended the interstate commerce
act, the employers liability law and
= law for a mining bureau; had pro-
vided for workmen's compensation and
mediation between railroads and their
employees. It was willing, he added, to
perfect the judicial procedure OF the
federal courts, would revise the tariff
in accordance with sound principles OF
economics, had advanced a policy OF
conservation and stood for world
peace.
