During tho many years spent in
the employ of river transportation
companies Hill thoroughly mastered
every detail of the important busi
ness, which enabled him to advance a
step. He obtained tho St. Paul agency
of the Northwestern Packet company
and retained it until the line was con
solidated with the Davidson line of
river steamers in 18G7. In the same
year he became the agent for tho
St. Paul & Pacific Railway company,
(the nucleus of the present great Hill
system) receiving and transferring
freight to and from steamboats. and
ne nunc a large warehouse on the
river bank, which stood until a few
years ago.
Early Ventures Repaid.
Ilis connection with the firm of Hill,
Griggs & Co. lasted until 1875. In
the meantime, in 1870, Hill embarked
in the first of those ventures which
later made him famous, by founding

justified his judgment, however, and
his first year was profitable. In the
autumn of 1871 he effected 11 con.
solidation with the competing line
owned by Norman W. Mittson, oper
ating between Moorehead, Minn., and
Winnepeg, Manitoba. Mr, Kittson at
that time was agent for the Hudson
Bay company, and associated with
him and Hill was Sir Donald A.

Hudson Bay company.
