st. Paul. Mimi. May 3O-Simplicity
will mark the funeral of James j. Hill,
pioneer railroad builder, who died at
his home yesterday from bloodpoison-
ing.
The democratic spirit of the 'em-
pire builder" will follow him to his
last resting place. His great home
will be opened to the employees of the
Great Northern Railroad this after
noon and the fact that to-day is IL
holiday will make it possible for most
of the several thousand employees of
the company here and in Minneapolis
to view the body of their employer.
Funeral services from the home on
Wednesday at 2 p. m. The Rt. Rev.
Thomas j. Gibbons. Vicar-general, will
have charge of the services. The
funeral will be public, but only rela-
tives, close friends and persons en-
ployed by the Hill interests are eX-
pected to attend. All day and through
the night messages from all parts of
the country were received by members
of the company. They came from
railroad presidents, financiers, civic
and state organizations and political
leaders. Every flag in the city was at
half mast
Wednesday all the banking insti-
tutions in the city will be closed at

Wise Words of ]. ]. Hill

Community of ownership is
valuable, but not the only thing for
a railroad property. No matter how
many men are in a property, you
can't make a bad property good by
an interchange of ownership"
THE less friction there is among
railroads the better it will be for
all of us"
THE way to abolish trusts is to
make stockholders liable"
THE crying need of the North
west to-day is men who have the
gift of continuance"
Luck and laziness don't go to-
gether. Opportunity won't hunt
you up"
Work steadily. live prudently
and show intelligence, and help will
come to you"
"One of our most serious troubles
is to find men fit to be foremen,
superintendents, etc"
Transportation is nothing more
or less than overcoming the law of
gravitation."

500. 100000 to $5Oo,OOO, 900. He was
probably worth between $200,000,0 900
and $3.50, 100000.
An estimate of his riches was pro-
vided when the European war began
in July, 1914. He called his bankers
together from the Fist National Bank
and Northwestern Trust Company, of
st. Paul, and more than $100,00O,000
in securities was said to have been in
the boxes Mr.. Hill laid before them.
There should be no trouble" said
Mr.. Hill, but if there is, this amount
is at your disposal"
His Aid for Bankers
The First National then borrowed
from Mr.. Hill $10,000,00O worth of
Great Northern Railroad bonds. These
were placed with the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, and $4,000, 900
worth of emergency currency allowed
under the Aldrich act was shipped at
once to the First National Bank. 1t
was found necessary to place only
$4,000 worth of this in circulation.
In few weeks the entire amount was
returned to Washington.
Mr.. Hill had the absolute control of
the First National Bank and North
western Trust Company, which have a
combined capital and surplus of
S6,500,000.
Railroad Stock Holdings
in the Chase National Bank of New
York, First National Bank of Chicago
and the Northwestern National Bank
in Minneapolis. He was large owner
of the Great Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company.
The greatest portion of Mr.. Hills
wealth, however, was in the stocks
and bonds of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy Railroads
The executors of MIR. Hills estate
probably will be Louis W. Hill, his
son. and the Northwestern Trust Com
pany.
The great power held by Mr.. Hill
will pass to Louis, who is president of
the Great Northern, and who has been
closely associated with him in business
for ten years. James n. Hill, the
oldest son, is a director of the Texas
Company, and has made a big fortune
in New York. Walter, the youngest
son, has big farm holdings in Kittston
county, Minnesota, where he spends
the most of his time.
1t is believed Mr.. Hills vast estate
will be held intact through the North
western Trust Company and that the
heirs will be given life interests.
