the probable size OF his fortune. On
this estimates ranged from 100000
to s1OO,o0o,0Oo, with the majority of
those whose opinions are worth while
favoring the smaller sum.
Hill was not, as Wall Street knew
him, a money grabber. Year in, year
out his holdings in Great Northern
and Northern Pacific remained the
same, whatever the market fluctuations
in prices.
In another respect he also differed
from many Of his contemporaries, in
that his largest deals redounded to the
benefit Of the stockholders in his COM
psnies. Thus, when after months OF
hard work and manipulation he put

Committed Suicide.

An investigation into the death OF

secretary and had left his employ two

she saw DR.. Stacpoole shoot himself.
The dentist had been suffering from
a delusion that every one was against
him, friends said.

the setting of o'clock Wednesday

TRAIL ROUTES
TO Be LOGGED
Northwest to Become Sec.
ton Of Interest. to Auto
mobile Tourists.

Within the next two weeks crew
OF men representing the blue book
automobile trail. will arrive in Grand
Forks and begin logging the trails
leading from this city to other points
In the northwest. in order that i'm
portant points. centering at Grand
Forks, will appear in the next issue
of the book.
The Wonderland and Red trails will
be the most important to be logged
from this city. These highways lead
directly across the state, through rich
drive for the tourist. The roads are
we'll drained and smooth along the
entire route, and because OF this fact,
promise to become two of the most
attractive automobile drives north Of
the Lincoln highway.
During the year. considerable prog
ress will be made in promoting the
tourists interest in the northwest, by
offering to them routes leading
through attractive sections. inter-
spersed with park districts and farm
lands.
Red Lake Falls Meeting.
At Red Lake Falls today. commit

are gathering to discuss the PROPOSE
ton Of opening a route from that
city, through the Red Lake Indian
reservation lands and eastward to Du
luth, offering a direct route through
section that has never been tapped
by good road and which Is probably
the most beautiful in the northwest.
The proposed thoroughfare would
connect with Red Lake, the largest
body Of water wholly within one state
In America. To the tourist. it would
offer an opportunity to visit points OF
interest on the reservation, including
the modern schools and farms where
the Chippewa Indians are educated
and cared for by the government.
The big proposition confronting the
committees is the construction Of the
road through the reservation district,
as further east, modern roads have
been built, connecting with Duluth.
at the head of the Great Lakes, where
thousands of tourists assemble each
year. In the western section Of Min
nesota it would tap the jefferson high
way. the new route connecting New
Orleans and Winnipeg.

representing the Grand Forks club
at the Red Lake Falls meeting, but
was unable to make the trip, owing
to the condition of the roads, result
ing from the recent rain.

Attorney j. B. wineman, represent
ing Katherine Ann Foster, widow Of
the late DR.. R. B. Foster, has received
an acknowledgment of the summons
and complaint, served on the COM
missioner of insurance at Bismarck.
in which Mrs. Foster will attempt to
recover $4,000 insurance from the

the late DR.. Foster held a $4,000
policy with the western association
and that no settlement has been made
although nearly two months have
elapsed since the date of the policy
holders DEATH
Many interesting points will be
brought up in this litigation. mas
much as the North Dakota law con-
fiicts with the conditions upon which
the policy was issued. DR.. Foster
succumbed a few days after he had

suit brought to recover $25 from S. a
