Hills Railroad grows.
By this time the ST. Paul & Pacific
railway had frown into a system of
| about 500 miles. In the panic year of
| 1873 the road defaulted on it's bond
| and receiver was named. Then came
scheme for reorganization. Hill was
| selected for the job and his fame and
| fortune as a railway man there began.
But with all his energy he made little
| Roadway. Capitalists SHE'D off. So he
| finally pledged his own fortune, then
about $4,000, and jointly with one
| other man, Norman w. Kitson, exc
cuted note for $2SO,O0O to put the
road on it's feet. More money was next
found and finally after months of ef-
fort enough was pledged to buy up the
| 100000 bonds outstanding.
Went to Europe for Funds.
With the Hill management the road
| grew amazingly. 1t was pushed to the
Great Lakes, north to the Canadian
border, and then to the west. 1t was
at last to be real St. Paul & Pacific.
Meanwhile the Northern Pacific had
been limping along. Reorganized in
| 1879 with debt of $50,000,000 it con-
tinued to limp, with promise of falling
into a receivers hands. Against this
road Mr.. Hill decided to pit himself
with the st. Paul and go through to
the Pacific. Wall street refused him
aid, but his friends stuck to him. When
| their funds proved too small he went
to Europe and got more.
| The Hill road crept steadily over the
prairies until it reached Puget Sound.
It's growth and extension since then is
| contemporaneous with the growth and
development of the northwest. The
several roads were consolidated into
the Great Northern.
Hill Defeats Hartman.
For years Hill had been working for
the control of the Burlington road as
feeder for his Pacific lines. He fin
ally secured it. Suddenly Harrison de-
manded, in behalf of the Union Pacific
an equal share Of the Burlington traf-
fic. Hill refused and BLUE Thursday"
May 9, 1901, resulted. Hartman at
tempted to corner" Northern Pacific.
The stock scared by leaps and bounds,
until shares of it sold for $1,000. Over
a thousand million dollars in paper
values here and abroad were said to
have been swept away. Hartman lost
out and Hills mastery over his own
lines was unshaken.
Hill had nine children, six girls and
three boys.

Ireland with their parents years be-
fore; took up Canadian claim" and
settled on a farm. For time Hills
father kept small tavern. When the
future railroad builder was IA years
school and became a clerk in 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
1856, when he came to the northwest.
Worked As Clerk.
ST. Paul was then a rough, bustling
trading post of 5000 people, many of
them border adventures, but an i'm
portant shipping point. After looking
over the field, Hill concluded that trad
ing and shipping promised the best flu
ture. He secured job as shipping

Meanwhile Hill was dreaming.
Quaint tales are told of his extraordi-
nary farsightedness and acumen at
this time. Six years after he arrived
in st. Paul came his first real opportun.

Hill forged ahead of competitors and
old employers almost at the start. Only
few months after he had begun bust

ply the government with $4,000 bushels
of oats. Moreover, he had SO manipu-
lated his affairs that he had announced
boldly he was able to give shippers the
lowest rates ever quoted from st. Paul
to eastern points.

About this time Mr.. Hill married

turn our thoughts to a critical exam
nation Of the conditions of our ma

seemed to threaten to divide us in in

II therefore suggest and request that

in every community, the 14th day Of
June be observed as Flag day with
special patriotic exercises.
