For the purpose of giving further
consideration to plans for the propos-
ed additional freight boat on the run
between this city and Jacksonville, a
meeting of the Ocala Transportation
company will be held Wednesday aft
ernoon. The company contemplates
putting into service a stern-wheeler
that will be able to navigate during
stages of lower water in the Okla
waha, and boat that will have a
capacity larger than the G. A. Car

A BETTER LOCATION.
Purchase of Converse Mill Property
Will Allow Light and Water Plant
and Standpipe to be Better
Situated

With the purchase of the Converse
mill property effected Saturday aft
ernoon, the city is taking steps with
view to placing the new light and
water plant in the center of the
waterworks block. Mr.. David Henney,
of the firm of Twombly & Henney, en-
gineers for the new plant, will be here
Wednesday to go over the ground and
consider the proposed change.
A change in the location of the
standpipe is also under consideration.
Some of the members of council think
that it would be better to have the
tank erected on the southwest corner
CT the block, instead of on the Orange
avenue side of the block, as called for
in the specifications.
Workmen are busy today razing the
mill property, purchased by the city
from Mr.. David S. Welch. The mill
was erected by the Ocala Lumber
company twenty-five years ago.

BURGLARS FAILED
At BELLEv|EW
Attempt to Break Into Two Safes in
Tremere's Store was of
No Avail

An attempt was made to crack two
safes,Spne large and one small, in the
store Of G. A. Tremere at Belleview
apout82 o'clock this morning. After
blowing off, with three charges, the
outer door of the large safe, and
wrenching off the handle and cutting
the combination of the smaller, the
would-be cracksmen left empty hand
ed, having bungled their work very
much like novices.
The yeggs smashed a heavy Yale
lcck pn the front door of the store in
entering. They had secured sledges,
and pther tools, from the railroad
section house and from the Nelson
garage. A number of persons in
Belleview say that they heard the
three reports of the charges used in
blowing the large safe, and agree as
to about the hour. On leaving the
yeggs closed the front door very care
fully. The tools secured from the
section house and garage were left
scattered around the store.
Sheriff Galloway went to Belleview
this morning, but failed to get clue.
Mr.. Tremere is of the opinion that
the attempted robbery was the work

JAMES ]. HILL
Pioneer Railroad Builder Passed
Away This Morning at His Home
in st. Paul
(Associated Press)

st. Paul, May 29.-James ]. Hill,
pioneer railroad builder, died here
this morning. His death was caused
by bowel trouble.
Mr.. Hill was unconscious for nearly
twelve hours before his death. The
members of his immediate family were
at his bedside. No funeral arrange
ments have been made.
James j. Hill discovered "the bread
basket of the world" in the great
northwest; he led in it's development
from wilderness into what now COM
prises six wealthy states with 100000
farms; and he blazed a trail for trans
portation which reached eventually
from Buffalo to Asia, with a total
mileage of rail and steamship facil-
tiles that would nearly girdle the
earth.
He was born near Ontario, in 1888,
the son of an Irish Canadian farmer.
AS a mere roustabout lad of 18, he
toured from Maine to Minnesota.
When, in 1856, he disembarked from
a Mississippi river packet at ST. Paul
that place was frontier town of 5000
inhabitants. In 1883 the st. Paul,
Minnesota and Manitoba railway was
formed with Hill as general manager.
When Mr.. Hill was elected president
he undertook the extension of the road
under the name of the Great North
ern, from its Dakota and Minnesota
homestead to the Pacific ocean. At
the Pacific tidewater he was not
satisfied for he saw in the Orient still
further opportunities. He organized
"a fleet of Pacific steamships for the
commercial invasion of Japan and
China.
While Mr.. Hill built up for himself
and his associates an immense for
tune, he also helped to create for the
settlers along his lines wealth of
over five billion dollars in real prop
|erty, which is represented by the
value of the 100000 farms and their
65, ,O00, 900 acres of improved land.
Upon his retirement at SO, the
"streak Of rust" he had bought 80
years before, had expanded to more
than 5000 miles and it was earning
gross profits of mere than $66, ,0O0, 900
la year, and carrying 100000 tons
|ot freight annually. He still retained
"a hand in the Great Northern's policy
as chairman of the board of directors,
while his son Louis, who had worked
up from the humblest position of his
fathers railroad became president.
