three great competitors to the south
each of which had received big
bonuses as government aid, whereas
the Manitoba or the Great Northern,
as it game to be known, did not have
dollar of government subsidy or an
acre of grant to forward it's progress
from the Minnesota boundary to the
sea. -..'.
In this light, Hills plan was widely
deemed pure folly, but he pressed it to
conclusion by building and populating
as he built. For several years he laid
rails westward at the rate of mile
day. and at cost of 100000 mile,
and as he went he left trail ot
embryonic farms by the railside.
With the line to Puget Sound once
laid, he turned empire builder. He in
troduced the live stock industry into
vast areas of bunch grass plains, and
developed them by importing blooded
stock; he sent demonstration trains
through the country with men who
showed the people how to raise more
wheat to the acre; he made an outlet
for the grain by establishing cheap
rate by rail and steamship to Buffalo
where he built great elevators; in fact
for upwards OF twenty years he left
nothing in his power undone to devel-
op the country where he had staked
out his claim as the great common
carrier.
But at the Pacific tide water he was
not satisfied for he saw in the orient
still further opportunities. He organ
lied a fleet of Pacific steamships for
the commercial invasion of Japan and
China Japan at the time wanted steel
rails but proposed getting them from
England, as the rates were less. 1t is
related that when John w. Gates, the
steel magnate of Chicago, came to Hill
with the proposition of getting Ameri.
can rails to Japan, the latter replied:
II will make you rate of 50 ton
from Chicago or Pittsburgh to Yoke
hama. If that Is too much, will carry
1t for the axle grease used on the loco
motives and freight cars; and If you
can't stand that, will carry your
freight for nothing "
At the So rate named, the American
manufacturer was enabled to secure
the Japanese contract.

Japan and China, where rice was the
staple food.
His faith in the far east was reward

fleet now carries nearly $50,000,00O
worth of products to the orient every
year.
While Mr.. Hill built up for himself
