FEW weeks ago. shortly before the

published, railway man connected
with one of the chief competitors Of the Great
Northern road. and formerly North Dakota
senator. was in my office discussing immigra-
ton in the Northwest This is the best place
in the world for immigrants to-day" he said,
and it's goins TO stay the best place for them
thanks 10 Jim Hill"
Even a great man might have far worse
epitaph than this, and | doubt If the one Of
whom it was spoken would have asked for a
better eptome Of his lifes work. After all,
the biography Of James j. Hill is, to a surpris-
ing degree the history of the Northwest. He
vas a river clerk when the Northwest was
marked chiefly by trading posts on the Missis-
sippi he was a railroad builder when the
Northwest was first learning to communicate
with itself and with the rest of the world he
was a farmer when the Northwest was becom-
ing the country's great storehouse Of food; an
iron miner when its mineral wealth was first
laid bare; an art collector, writer of books and
patron Of all the arts when, freed from the
struggle of ceaseess material expansion, the
Northwest drew breath and began to think.
Well might James J. Hill have echoed the
words of Ulysses: Il am part of all that
have seem
But he was more than this; he created the
life he shared. His part was always that of
The leader, because he always looked further
into the future than those about him. and had
the power 10 make other men see through his
eyes. This was as true Of him when he was
seventy as il was in the days when he was
driving the first railroad through the Dakota
prairies. The gift Of prophecy is rare enough,
but the preservation Of the prophetic gift un-
dimmed for well over half century marks
perhaps one man in a generation. None who
knew Mr.. Hill can doubt that his star shone
lust AS brightly through the last year Of his
life as it ever did in his youth
Every age has its prophets, alike IN their
convictions but differing in their modes OF ex-
preston. Whatever the future may bring
fcrth-and il would be gloomy indeed TO think
that this country will not yet see men as great
as any that have gone-it will produce no more
men of the type of James J. Hill. The land
itself no longer calls for prophets. So settled
are we. so natural has it become 10 travel
freely throughout the length and breadth Of
he country, that we easily forget how, even
forty years ago. it was hard TO have faith in
what the West might bring forth The need
evoked the men. Just as the call OF the new
world found the courage, the patience and the
skiIl Of Columbus and Magellan, Of Cartier
Drake. Cabot and Raleigh so the call OF the
new West was answered by group OF men,
nearly all Of them Of the same generation VINO
lived 10 see their great work advanced beyond
their earlier hopes of possibility.
The change wrought in sixty years is most
evident if one asks himself, What would jim

Unsigned Note Reads: '<You Will
Find My Body at the Bottom

be Drawn Off

Livermore Falls. Me, Oct IA m.
NOR was started here Tuesday that
some person unknown had suicided by
drowning himself in the big reservoir
on the heights above High street. This
the public water system. The fact that
the reservoir which has a capacity of
nearly million gallons. is being emp
tied indicates that the trustees of the
water district are inclined to take some
stock in the report.
O. L. Hardy, who is in the employ
of the water district, visited the res
ervoir early Tuesday morning and in
cred a large stone which he removed
thinking some boy might roll 1t into the
reservoir.
Much to his surprise he found a note
beneath the stone upon which was writ
ten in a boyish hand, You will find my
body at the bottom of the reservoir" The
note was unsigned and was written on
paper torn from a mail order catalogue.
Mr.. Hardy left the note beneath the
rock and sought out deputy sheriff. A.
H. Dwelley. previous to which he had
notified the selectmen. Later. upon re-
turning to the reservoir much to their
surprise In turning over the rock they
found the note gone. 1t will take several
days to empty the reservoir.

A HIGH RECORD
FOR RESOURCES
AN D DEPOSITS

Washington, Oct. ia new high record
for resources and deposits and wider
distribution of money than ever before
will be shown by complete returns from
the national bank call of Sept. IL, in the
opinion of treasury officials, after exam
ination of figures reported by So reserve
city and country banks in several states.
Most of the big eastern money centers
have lost materially in deposits since
May !, these figures show. and there has
been more than offsetting increase in
smaller cities and in country districts.
Comptroller Williams declared In a
statement tonight that the withdrawal of
deposits from the larger centers had not
interfered with the business growth there
and that 1.-The unprecedented accumula7
lions of funds and banking credits In the
other cities and towns throughout the
country, and especially In the country
banks, is significant and is imparting a
business confidence and degree of Sc
curity. stability and optimism through
ont the length and breadth of the United
States which has rarely been experienced
by any country"

naval operators on the Nantucket

the chief electrician on the lightship
said he understood the captain and

Of interviews with the trathdenes

Navay men. who believe the Kingston

on the report of the submarine being
