JAMES J. HILL, Who Might Have Been a Great Sur geon Had His Father Lived
 Trifie Longer

Born in Canada. James J. HiIl spent his boyhood days in New England, hoping in the future to. be a physi- clan. With the death of his father these hopes went glimmering. He left school and went to work in a country store, devoting his earnings to the support of the family. He made quick progress, saved some money and at ldst yielded to the call of the West. going from Maine to St Paul. Here he found employment as shipping clerk and began a study of the two great problems which the Northwest faced-transportatio and fuel. We follow him as a steamboat agent to station agent at St Paul and hear him pooh-hooed when he proposes railway from the Great Lakes to the Coast. But James Hill saved money and overcane obstacles through a determination to succeed and in thirteen years completed his road, which, with others, was event ually taken over the Great North ern, of which Hill is the master mind
 To secure expert shipments Hill es- tablished a. line of steamships from Seattle to Asia and a fleet of freight CTS on the Great Lakes. To fill "emp- ties" he developed the lumber indus try in Washington and helped settlers to quickly bring the wilderness into highly cultivated farm lands. Today he is establishing a system of troIley lines, converging at Portland, which will tap the most fertile valleys ot Oregon where his steam lines will take the fruit to the East. Hill makes it possible to reach the Coast from Chicago in 10 hours. He saved Every young man has the same op- portunity if he has the Hill nerve and determination to make his mark high. CT up.

Then he commenced to descend, let
ting himself down hand over hand, al
ways with n eye upon that length
OF rope that swung below. Suddenly,
as he reached the second floor a lit
Of what had happened. Tongues of
flame curling out from the blazing
building had caught the rope, which
was being burned through not a dozen
feet away from him. He descended
a little farther and paused in mid
air.
A shout from the crowd reached
him.

He glanced round. Seven or eight

was a double row of telegraph wires.
Almost as he saw them the rope below
him burned through and fell to the
ground. He swung a little towards
the side Of the house, pushed himself
vigorously away from 1t with his feet,
and at the farthest point of the out
ward swing jumped. His hands Crap
pied the telegraph wires safely. Even
in that tense moment he heard a little
sob of relief from the people below.
Hand over hand he made his way
to the nearest pole and slipped easily
to the ground. The crowd immediate
ly surged around him.
where is the man who came down
before me?" he asked a b%ystander.
Talking to the police in the car
over yonder," was the hoarse reply.
"Say, guv'nor, you only just made
that"
Craig pushed his way through the
crowd to where Craig was speaking
eagerly to French. He stopped short
and stopped down. He was near
enough to hear the formers words.
"Mr. French, you saw the man come

Quest drew off his coat, turned 1t in

coolly picked up a hat someone had

Quest turned reluctantly away. Men

BETTER FARMING POPULAR

Now that a number of the counties
of the state are taking up the organiza-
ton of county agricultural extension
associations under the provisions of
senate bill 25S, inquiries are coming
in as to the details of distribution of
funds. Each association is authorized
to draw from the funds in the state
treasury, through the Smith-Lever ma
tional appropriation, and the state APP
preparation, a sum equal to so per
cent of the local funds raised either by
money appropriated by the county COM
m~issioners, or by private individuals or
associations for such work. One query
comes as to the manner of handling
the local funds, and on this the state
legal department holds that the office
and travel expenses of the county
agent must be taken out of the local
funds, and the amount deposited with
the state treasury, and not on the
whole amount collected locally.
