time when these things were held as
visionary by most railway men.
In contact with the late E. H. Harri-
man, who outdid him in the extent OF
railway ownership, Mr.. Hill was not
only the financial head, but the practi-
cal head, of his great railway system.
He was the chief promoter and presi-
dent of the Northern Securities COM
pany, organized with a purpose to
bring the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern under one ownership, to
which such opposition developed that
a suit was brought in the United States
circuit court, which decided that the
acquisition was an Illegal combination
affirmed in March, 1904, by the
United States supreme court.
Evidences of His Work Shown.
For several years James J. Hill had
been in the habit of insisting both to
his friends and to the public that he
was not actively engaged in business.
Just how active he was during the last
two years of his life can be judged only
by little evidences of his master hand
in matters affecting the Great Northern
railroad and the First National bank of
st. Paul and by three outstanding &C
complishments in which his Will and
genius asserted themselves.
From a world viewpoint it would be
hard to say whether his staunch sup
port of the Belgian people following
the invasion of the Germans, or the
part played in the negotiations for the
$500 100000 loan to the allied govern
ments is the more important.
From local viewpoint his influence
in the upbuilding of the South St. Paul
stockyards claims first rank.
Sent Aid to Belgians.
From the time the work of succor-
ing the Belgians began Mr.. Hill took a
leading part in the movement. 1t prob
ably will never be known how much
money he sent to King Albert, an old
personal friend, and how much he in
duced others to send.
His place as an international figure
was never more prominently displayed
than when the Representatives of the
allies came to New York in quest of q
huge loan. One of the first men to be
sent for by ]. P Morgan was Mr.. Hill
and his assurance that he and the PEG.
pie of the northwest were prepared tc
do their share in taking up the foreign
bonds is believed to have contributed
! largely to the success of the negotia
lions. His claim to being the origina
! advocate of live stock development il
the northwest is unquestioned ant
since the retirement of A. B. Stickney
he has been the most ardent propon-
ent of the upbuilding of the industry
at this center. a work which has beer
taken up enthusiastically by his son

ception given the young men was most
cordial.

These estimates were all made
within two years, and the dis
crepancies are not unusual. Still
there are people who declare that
we must give the army and nava,
officers what they demand and
that it is treason to question
their judgment,
BUILDING SUBMARINES
IN TWO WEEKS,
Then take submarines: The
naval officials were sure that pri-
vate plants could not construct
these -terrors in less than two
years and allowed that time un-
der the contracts. When the
contractors failed to deliver at
the time specified the department
officials were disposed to be lem
lent. Then the wizard. Edison,
the greatest living inventor,
came along and explained how he
could make twenty-five subma-
rines IN TWO WEEKS. 'Stan-
dardize the parts and build them
like you would a Ford" was his
simple solution of the problem.
Edison disposed of another pet
theory of the department chiefs.
The latter have always gone on
the theory that only. big concerns
could take care of government
contracts. That's a mistake
Edison told the committee. "The
little shops will do the work fast
er and for & lower price. The
thing to do is to divide the con-
tract and get as many small
shops working on it as possible,
Then assemble the parts and put
them together. That's the way
/ do"
The committee was so impres
sed by Edison's testimony thai
it will recommend an appropria.
