Harvard on the other hand, emcrg ed from q week of rigorous train ing with a considerably shuffled lineup following last weeks rout by Dartmouth. Coach Arnold Horwc"n announced he would start the fast est eleven men in the Crimson squad against the visitors
 His hopes were given q severe blow. however. by the announcement that Art French. regarded as his most versatile player probably would be out oi the game because ol an early season infection. Medical Iadivscrs said they would sanction French's participation only ii It meant q matter of victory or defeat. The Indiana team was rated over the locals chiefly on the basis ot previous performance. The Hoosicrs swamped Kentucky lost to Chicago. tiled strong Minnesota team and were beaten. but managed 10 score on Notre Dame. Harvard has been victorius twice. over Vermont and Holy Cross but failed to make head way against Purdue or Dartmouth.

Nale's great back. and seven of his huddies who hope to stop the un- challenged march of the big Green team this season.
The Bozeman courier., 1927-12-09

set about, with the aid of three friends,
to buy the st. Paul and Pacific railway
This purchase was consummated in 1873.
After a few years Of breathless activity,
he put that railway on its feet and ex-
tended it nArth to the Canadian boun-
Diary. He changed it's name to the ST..
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba. He also
extended his lines into the northwest. He
had reached Great Falls by 1887. BY
Jan. 5, 1898, he had reached the Pacific
coast and renamed his railway the Great
Northern.
Completion of the railway to the Pa
cific coast brought two distinctive prob
lens. Mr.. Hill had daringly flung his
line across a great spanse Of undeveloped
country and he could not expect to make
money unless he had traffic. This traf-
fic, for the most part, would have to be
long-haul freight, until the country along
the line was better developed.
Hill Greats Traffic
Mr.. Hill has told the story himself
better than anyone else can. He said:
THE traffic in that country to be de-
veloped-it was all to be developed
must come from the natural resources
of the country. At the time the road
was completed, and for a short time after
The Bozeman courier., 1927-12-09

and these rates went into effect. That
built up a large trade; portions OF the
lumber going even to the Atlantic coast,
but the great bulk of it being distrib-
uted throughout the interior west, north
of st. Louis and the Ohio river"
This was pure traffic creation; the
calling into existence of commerce and
transportation that did not exist before.
1t began because there was rLore freight
going westward than eastward over the
Great Northern line. So long as that
condition existed, the cars that carried
surplus had to be hauled back empty.
To Mr.. Hill an empty car was thief.
It was stealing from the road the sum
that would have been received if it had
been filled with revenue-paying freight.
It must be filled; that was all there was
to it. He set himself to solve the prob
lem, Just as he made every employe help
solve it over his system. He solved 1t
here by taking timber to a distant mar
ket, at a rate which would have been
disastrous if applied to other commodi-
ties or to general traffic, but which would
be clear gain If full cars took the place
Of empties. The lumber moved. Pretty
soon traffic east and west balanced each
other. After three or four years this

that Japan will come to be
a great commercial nation, American
trade. on the Pacific ocean should soon
rival the Atlantic
Had this definite and practical plan
for trade development been carried out
without change or interruption, the ef-
feet upon business of the United States
would have been beyond calculation. 1t
never met its final test. Legislative en-
actments and official interferences by
the political authority Of the government
doomed it to substantial failure almost
as soon as it had begun to show its
promise and its power. The business
must be taken away from European
competitors. Low prices alone could do
it; and low prices were conditional on
extremely low rates Of carriage. Mr.. Hill
had foreseen that and provided for it.
His plan rested upon it as a fundamental
postulate. What he had not foreseen
and could not meet was the condition
imposed subsequently by laws regulat-
ing domestic transpc:t2ttc>---, but apply
ing as well to joint through rail and
ocean rates. The following statement OF
the practical embargo put upon his work
is from his Highways of PIogress:'
