father and mother had emigrated from
Ireland with their parents years be-
fore; took up Canadian claim" and
settled on farm. For time Hills
father kept a small tavern. When the
future railroad builder was IA years
old his father died. James then quit
school and became clerk in a village
store. For four years he held the job,
studying nights and Sundays to finish
his education.
He had but reached his 18th year, in
1855, when he came to the northwest.

st. Paul was then a rough, busting
trading post of 5000 people, many of
them border adventures, but an i'm.

In 1866 he started in business for
himself as a commission, steamboat

which he obtained an agency was the
little St. Paul & Pacifc-big of name
but diminutive in length.
Hill forged ahead of competitors and
old employers almost at the start. Only
few months after he had begun bust
ness he had landed a contract to sup
ply the government with $4,000 bushels
OF oats. Moreover, he had so manipu

boldly he was able to give shippers the
lowest rates ever quoted from St. Pau
to eastern points.

A year after entering business fol
himself Hill astounded St. Paul BY
erecting a large transfer house on thu
levee. The building was to receive
freight from river steamers on one
floor and discharge it on a floor below
to the railroads, which were growing
steadily.
About this time Mr.. Hill married
Miss Mary Meighan.
In 1870 Hill forged out still further
