 Upon his retirement at 69, the "streak of rust he had bought thirty years before, had expanded to more than 5000 miles and it was earning gross profits of more than $66,O0O,O00 a year and carrying 15,000,000 tons of freight annually. He still retained a hand in the Great Northern's policy as chairman of the board of directors, while his son Louis, who had worked Up from the humb blest position of his fathers railroad became president.
 The secret of the Hill success was no secret at all, according to MT. Hill, and he had no new recipes to offer. The man with the big opportunity today" he said, 'is the man in the ranks" But the secret of failure he frequently declared to be extrava- gance. He regarded this as national tendency, against which he strongly set himself, particularly as concerned the natural resources.

He was confronted by 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 came to be known did not have a dollar of government s1b- sidy 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 popu lat1ng as he built. For several years he laid rails westward at the rate of a mlle>a day, and at a cost of $3OOOO 6 mile, and as he went he left a trail of embryonic farms by the hillside.
 With the line to Puget Sound once laid, he turned empire builder. He introduced the live stock industry into vast areas of bunch grass plains. through the country with men who showed the people how to raise more wheat to the acre; he made an out let for the grain by esta blishing a.
 
 Buffalo where he built great eleva- tors; in fact for upwards of twenty years he left nothing in his power undone to develop the country where he had staked out his claim as the great common carrier.
 But at the Pacific water he was not satisfied for he saw in the Orient still further opportunities He organized a fleet of Pacific steam ships for the comm ercial invasion of Japan and China. Japan at the time wanted steel rails, but proposed get ting them from England, as the rates were less. It is related that when Jchn w. Gates, the steel magnate of Chicago, came to Hill with the proposition of getting American rails to Japan, the latter replied: ''I will make you a rate of s8 a ton from Chicago or Pittsburg to Yokohama. If that is too much, l will carry it for the axle grease used on the locomotives and freight cars; and if you can't stand that, I will carry your freight for nothing"
 At the s8 rate named, the Ameri- can manufacturer was enabled to secure the Japanese contract. The same tactics were adopted in getting American wheat and flour into | Japan and China, where rice was the staple food.
 Faith in East Rewarded. His faith in the Far East was re- warded as Hberally as that in the Northwest. It is estimated that the | Pacific fleet now carries nearly $5O,- | 000,000 worth of products to the 1 Orient every year.
