Mr.. W. II. Bell.
Snyder Texas.
Dear Sir:
| arrived the afternoon of the 10th
and am enclosing you a clipping out
OF the Times, which think treats
the problems OF future merchandise
very generously, both TO producers
and consumers. The New York mar
ket is very unsettled at the present
time, which means a change in the
near future. and ! have not bought
any thing, andhaye spent my time
trying TO lind out what will be the
result OF the change. and have met
with very little satisfaction.
This market is full of buyers from
almost every nation. came up with
party from St Louis who live in
Vera Cruz and have met several from
Canada, and these are buying heav-
iiN vli q most OF the mJ'chants
from the South and Wect are buy
ing cautiously.
So as far as future prices no one
ems TO know. But one thing we
10 know and that is all lines are
mugn higher than they were last
fall. on the other hand, ! learn that
deliveries are much bet;e|, which
shows that production has increased,
along with high prices.
H.se Gee facts then We may eX-
pcct much higher prices. as the la
Dor has cost more TO cause this pro-
duction
am going 20 work IN the morning
and am going 10 try TO get the best
assortment OF merchandise that ]
have ever had. and will try TO tell
YOU more when ! get home
with best regards
am yours very truly

combined fuel and transportation
trade, carried on by means of the
famous Red River carts pulled by
oxen or ponies. From Pembina, in
the Red River valley, these carts,
creaking over the great prairie,
brought to st. Paul piles of furs
caught by the Hudson Bay trappers
and took back the goods of civiliza-
ton. These goods had been brought
from the east by river steamers
which also furnished the settlements
with coal and themselves were sup
piled by Hill with wood for their
boilers. There was good profit to be
made in both the overland and the
river trade.
Lived in Tomorrow
But the promise of the future lur-
ed the boy through all of these years.
He lived in tomorrow while he faith
fully performed the days tasks. AS
soon as he could, he explored the
Red River valley, that land of his
dreams, going by dog train in the
winter of 1870 from st. Cloud, then
the terminus of the st. Paul & Pa
cific railroad. There he made the
acquaintance of a man as ambitious
as himself-Donald Smith, afterward
Lord Strathcona, who saw in Hill
fellow spirit for a great adventure
in finance that he proposed to take.
From that day Hill was a citizen of
the northwest.
The st. Paul e. Pacific railroad
through reorganization became the
st. Paul, Minneapolis G Manitoba.
The bonds of this company were held
by investors in Holland. When it
was clear that the road was not pay
ing dividends, Smith and Hill saw
their opportunity to buy the property
t!Ieaply. Accordingly, an agent was
sent to Holland to negotiate with
he bondholders, and the business
world was startled by the announce
ment of the organization of the Great |
Northern Railroad company with |
Hill as president and Smith and his |
Canadian friends strongly backing
he project This road was the high
way over which the Napoleon of the
northwest rode to conquest.

From the moment of its organiza-
ion there was scarcely a doubt of
he success of the Great Northern,
or its president was a man of vision,
lot mere business man. He saw
'eyond the struggles of the Dakota
armers the empire of wheat and
orn; .he made the connection be-
ween the wheat field and the table;
lie forced everyone to believe in
as the vital stimulus

ion notable among all kinds of rail-
DAD presidencies for the outlook and

every movement. When he saw the
yield of wheat lessening because OF
the depletion of the soil he made ex-
periments to demonstrate to the far
mers the Importance of intensive ag-
riculture. III fact, he was as much
sought after as a speaker on agricul-
tural questions as he was consulted
on purely business problems.
1t has been objected that, like Ma
poleon, he was ruthless in his con-
duct of negotiations for fixed pur-
pose, and that he had little sympa-
thy for the cause of labor. His limi-
tation was the limitation of most self
made men who cannot understand

success is not possible for everyone;

owned by Thomas B. Walker. He
had bought them in Ohio, intending
to sell them at Chicago; but the sud-
den coming of the Civil war had
made such trading impossible. Sor-
rowfully, for he had invested all of
his money in the stones, Walker
tried to peddle them among the far
mers in southern Wisconsin, and,
when this failed, hearing of the two
booming towns at the falls of St.
Anthony, he had loaded them on a
steamboat. James j. Hill checked
them off at st. Paul. Walker asked
him what wages were being paid
there.
Forty dollars month";" replied
Hill.

He said this in no boastful tone.
It was a simple fact that in four
years he had been able to make a
most favorable impression on his viii
lage. In five years more, for on ac-
count of an injured eye he could not
join his companions on the battle
field, he was able to save enough
