In a communication TO the Balti-
more News, W. H. Holtzclaw, princi-
pal of the Utica Normal and Industrial
Institute, Utica, Miss, writes:
have read your editorial of No
vember Is, entitled, Booker T. Wash
ington's Field" l have found 1t very
interesting, but there are some points
in it which | feel ought to be ampli-
lied. to say the least. 1t is for this
reason that l venture to write you
this letter
For instance, you make COMPARE
SON between the Northern Negro and
the Southern Negro, and you state
that the southern's Negroes progress
in 80 years has not been relatively
commensurate with that of the North
ern Negro during the half century of
his freedom. You were kind enough
however. to give some very valuable
reasons for this. The facts which
have at my command, however, and
which can be had from the United
States census. convince me that TAX
ing everything under consideration.
the Southern Negroes progress during
the past so years has far surpassed
that of even the Connecticut Negro
OF whom you speak We ought not
overlook the fact that the Southern
Negro Is making progress under ire
mendous diff culties-among them is
the matter OF education. The Con-
necticut Negro has paid. on the edu-
cation of each of his children, out Of
public funds, for any given year, more
than 10 times as much as we Negroes
of the far South receive per capita
Besides, he has educational facili-
ties. For so years the Negroes have
had here In the South the poorest
kind of opportunities to educate them
selves-school terms being from three
to five months in length, and the cot.
ton fields taking up the remainder
of the time of our children. Besides,
when they do attend school. the ia.
cilities are often so poor that ii is al
most equal to no school at all. II
requires a boy 26 years 10 complete
a common school course under the cir
eumstances. There Is often no more
than the wreck OF log cabin with no
heating apparatus, and but the poor.
est improyised blackboards, and little
or no protection from the elements
The teacher presiding over such
school is often paid as low as sic
month THAT is the case In my own
county, for five months. and out OF
which she has TO pay not less than 81
a month for board. II this sounds
extravaganza, have only to invite your
attention TO the latest annual report
OF the superintendent of education of
this state and Louisiana. II cannot
be expected under such conditions that
the Negroes win make satisfactory
progress.
But this is not the worst. There
are, according to the United States
census. about 100000 Negro children
in the South ~ho cannot get into even
the poor schools that have just men.
toned. That is to say 81 per cent OF
the Negro children of the South, &C.
cording to the United States census,
attend no school at all.

The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-06-08

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta.
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell carload OF
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11.121a per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has market for everything
Lis farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure of success
as anyone can be.-Advertisement.

sition of his property, and l.. w. Hill,
his son, will succeed to the manage

was reliably stated here.
Whether or not Mr.. Hill left will

it was reported that shortly before
his death he put all his affairs in the
hands of the Northwestern Trust
company.

formed combination with him.
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 a receiver was named. Then came
a 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 $75,0OO and jointly with one
other man, Norman w. KitsOn, exc
cuted a note for $2s0,0O0 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
$2S,OO0,OOO 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 a 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 SO 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
a feeder for his Pacific lines. He fin
ally secured it. Suddenly Harrison de-
manded, in behalf of the Union Pacific

until shares of it sold for 81, 1000. Over
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 mistaken.
Hill had nine children, six girls and
three boys.
