Hill, the great American railroad kins awakened this morning he had reached the scriptural age of "three score and ten." But time has dealt gently with him anv phy sically as well as mentally inn Is today as strong and fresh as few men twenty years younger. Some time in the year 1906 it was stated that Mr. Hill had announced his In tention of retiring from active busi ness on July 1, 1907. but that time came and passed and found him still In harness, working as hard. If not harder than ever to consolidate and strengthen his enormous financial and railroad interests, the largest In the control of a single man In the world. It is believed that the un settled condition of the money mar ket and the exigencies of his rail road enterprises resulting from re cent legislation by congress caused Mr. Hill to postpone the date of his retirement. However that may be, no man has earned rest from life long activity more than Hill. Dur ing his lifetime he has acquired an enormous fortune estimated at more than one hundred million dollars and has brought under his control great er., trnsportation interests than are or ever have been In the hands of any single Individual. He controls the Great Northern system, which he created, and also the Burlington and the Northern Pacific. As head of the Great Northern he has more than seven thousand miles of track under his control, the Burlington gives him eight thousand miles more and the Northern Pacific about five thousand miles. The tracks of his railroads, if placed together would come within five thousand miles of reaching around the earth. In ad dition to that he controls the largest steamer line between Unied States and China and the fine steamship line between Buffalo and Duluth. He is also supposed to have a controlling Interest In the Erie railroad and im portant intersts In many of the At ltntlc lines. Mr. Hill Is a Scoch-Irish-Canadlan- American and was born on a small i farm near lluelph. Ontario, on Sen-1 temper 16. 1S3S. His father wis a North of Ireland Orangeman and his ..u.ue, HS a hootch iassi(1 ()f n I unbar Han. with a pedigree trace able hack to the house of Stewart As a boy Hill showed a dislike for farm work, but such interest in books, that his father (decided to make a Presbyterian clergyman out of him. He entered school at the age of seven, but when he had reach ed his seventeenth year young Hill decided that he would not become a minister, but a businessman He became clerk In a local grocery store, but after one year he went to the United States. He drifted to St 1 aul, then a busling town of about five thousand Inhabitants. He found work at the docks, shoveling grain into steamers. He soon became a clerk, however, and remained in a clerical position for eight years. When the war came, voting Hill with Captain Shelley organized a trOOD of Minnesota pnnah.Mj.. offered his .services to the state of ..iiiiuenuia. mere was some delay and Captain Shelley took the men to Iowa and entered the service from that state. Hill remained at home and did a great deal in sending men and food to the fighting line. At mat time no began his railroad ca reer by becoming the agent of the St. Paul PaHflx nil,,-.,,. ii.. ... Cognized the possibilities of the road tiHuuiiKu, at mat lime, it was in a wretched flnnnefnl nnrl 1. v c I 1 dition. Ho Interested some r.nmrthm opening of the I'.ivat W.nfi- oni line, from Huiuih to the Pacific Since tin: time Hill has expanded his railroad interests wisely and with daring conservatism. It is char acteristic that Hill does not tolerate the splitting up of profits on his roads. He controls the dining and sleeping car privileges on his roads as well as every other privilege con nected with transportation an.l in cluding grain elevators along theioo wheat roads. His methods were en-i tt tirely different from those in vogue J on the other railroads and won for I him the reputation of being a close .m sungy man. n S true, lie prac tices the strictest economy in con ducting his railroads, but in other re spects he has always been quite lib eral. Of his 4,000 acre estate near this city he bns for many years con ducted one of the finest stock farms In the country at great expense. He has probably the finest collection of paintings owned by a private Individ ual in this country nnd has a collec tion of diamonds and other gems val ued at more tban two million dol lars. His two sons, who are also In the railroad business, give promise of developing into worthy successors! or their father. "DODGE'S" Headqusrders for FRUIT JARS Special prices while moving E.
