JAMES J. HILL DEAD
Famous Railroad Builder Dies
From Blood Poison.

St. Paul, May 29.-James !
Hill, railroad builder, caitalis
and most widely known figure o
the Northwest, died of blood pois
oning at his residence in Sunni
Avenue at 8 80 clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. Hill had been suffering TO-
some time with hemorrhoids ant
on May Is, he had a chill caused
by infection from the hem
orrhoids.
DR.. William j. Mayo and DR.
Chas. H. Mayo, famous surgeons
from Rochester, Mimi, were
rushed to his bedside by special
trains and they performed a
slight operation but owing to Mr.
Hills advanced age and weak
ened condition it did but little
good. ..
One heavy train was run
at a mile a minute seed from
Chicago to carry two ounces
of a peculiar sedative Hills spe-
cialists suggested.
After the two ounces Of prec-
ious sedative were secured spe-
cialists changed their minds and
used only sedatives which could
easily be secured in St. Paul.
James j. Hill discovered the
"breadbasket of the world" in
the Great Northwest; he led in it's
development from a wilderness
into what now comprises six
wealthy states dotted with 4OO,-
900 farms, and he blazed trail
for transportation which reached
eventually from Buffalo to Asia,
with a total mileage Of rail and
steamship facilities that would
nearly girdle the earth.
James j. Hills wealth is esti-
mated all the way from 100 mil
lion to 500 million dollars. He was
probably worth between 200 and
$50 million dollars.
Mr.. Hill had absolute control
of the First National Bank and
Northwestern Trust Company,
which have combined capital
and surplus of IL million dol
lars.
Mr.. Hill was large owner of
stock in the Chase National Bank
of New York, First National Bank
of Chicago and Northwestern Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis. He
was a large owner of the Northern
Steamship Company.
The greatest portion Of Mr..
Hills wealth, however. was in the
stocks and bonds of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroads.
The executors of Mr.. Hills es-
tate probably will be Louis w.
Hill, his son, and the Northwest
ern Trust Company.
The great power held by Mr..
Hill will pass to his son, Louis,
who has been closely associated
with him in business for ten years.
James N. Hill, the eldest son,
is a director of the Texas COM
pany and has made a big fortune
in New York.

Among Wild Businesses Of the.
Sierra MadreS, Where White
Man Never IrOdv us, Troops
Must Hunt Bapdit and Gang.
(py Associates prsss.)

Ell PASO,I Tex, March i5.--The point
chosen for entrance Of the punitive ex-
pedition into Mexico is at the verge of
a dreary, desolate plain, inhabited prtn-
cipally by COYOTES and prairie dogs,
swept by sandstorms and denuded Of
vegetation except the castus and a, few
other spiky and Objectionable growths.
For at least thirty miles the United
States troops must make their way
across this desert They then reach
the lowest range of the Sierra Madre
mountains rising to height of 5000 to
$500 feet, broken and twisted into all
manner of fantastic shapes by volcanic
action and barren of any verdure worthy
of the name. Lonely, half civilized ranch
men are found here and there in the
valleys, nursing their cattle at the infre-
auenr and scanty water holes anud SUD-
sisting almost entirely on beef. To offset
the evil results Of a continuous diet OF
beef 1T is said they drink the blood of
the cattle which contains supposedly
healthy salts.
There are no roads of any kind in
all this region. An ancient track known
as the "smugglers' trail.' is used by such
traffic as passes through. The expedl-
tionary force must carry its own pro-
visions and must, in a large measure,
rely also on its base for water.
Widest REGION IN WORLD
After fighting it's way against nature
assisted by whatever guerrilla troops Viii
la may be able or care to muster for
about 125 miles through this country.
the punitive expedition will reach the
Sierra Madre proper. a range Of noun
tains rising from 5000 to 10000 feet.
Americans who have penetrated these
Businesses claim that the region is one
of the widest. most barren and desolate
that it is possible to find anywhere in
the world.
The mountains are split by canyons,
some Of which have a sheer depth of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet and there is
rot even a recognized trail through their
solitudes
From Casas Grandes, south. however,
the country is thickly wooded, although
devoid of vegetation which could provide
forage for horses or food of any kind
for men. In the Casas Grandes section
the expedition would strike the Casas
Grandes river which sweeps westward
and here splits into three considerable
branches. BY following one of the
branches the soldiers would be able to
obtain sufficient water. but between the
streams the mountains rise in great bar
riers, presenting a country almost mac
cessible even to men on foot, and, &C
cording to the few Americans who have
ventured there, impossible to wheeled
transports of any sort.
1t is in these wilds that Pancho Villa
is said to have taken refuge and there
to be prepared to wage guerilla war

ed to pursue him to death or capture.

FIRST DETACHMENT
TO STRIKE At VILLA
HAS LEFT COLUMBUS
Crossing the Mexican Border
Was Carried Out Without
Incident Shortly After Noon
on Wednesday
tsy Associated press3

Ell PAsO, Tex. March 15.--American
troops at Columbus started into Mexico
shortly after noon today. The first
force, led by General J. ]. Pershins.
crossed IN a .sinle column. The entry
was entirely without disturbance.
During the night the hrst aeroplane
squadron which Srr1ved mere from San
Antonio last night nioveo out OF FL Paso
It's destination was kept secret.
Rumors Of the advance Of the punitive
force did not disturb the usual 5alm
of Juarez today. The garrison soldiers
appeared entirely friendly to visiting
Americans. Even the departure Of Cen
eral Gutierrez, commander-in-chief OF
the state of Chihuahua, in a special train
for the south, occasioned nothing beyond
mild interest. Gutierrez will personally
direct operations against Villa.
Speaking IF the rumors of popular re-
sentiment against Americans in Mexico
Consul Andres Garcia said: "The ex-
element so far as I am able to learn is
entirely on the American side of the
border. have not heard Of a single au-
thentic case of Carranzista soldiers
threatening Americans. Perhaps a few
individual soldiers have called the
Americans names. as has been charged,
but myself have often been called
names on the American side. Our forces
are well under discipline and there is no
likelihood of any outrage against Ameri-
cans of any sort"
Gavira added: 1T know that there
has been none of the reported resentment
among my men. We are all friendly dis
posed to the United States and her citi-
zens."
