HILL SAW AHEAD.
Kansas City Stanf As an engineer
ing feat a railroad is not more diffi
cult to build than a smokestack, but
smokestack builders are not usually
. James J. Hills. The reason is obvious.
It requires no imagination to build a
'. smokestack. It requires no pioneer
ing. They are not built out on a prai
rie and allowed to stand there until a
factory comes along and hitches on.
Something like that was done by
Mr. Hill when he pushed the Great
(Northern out from St Paul. What
use is a railroad in a country without
population? What can it haul, wjiere
tan it haul it and from whom? These
are 'questions Hill probably heard
hsked many times, and one may su
pose he was too busy pushing his
rails through the .empty and silent
northwest to stop to answer theni.
But the answer, if he made it, was
that he mas building not a railroad,
hut an empire. His road was merely
. an agency, a means to an end. He saw
hat end because had the imagination
"to see it. It was easy enough to see
after the territory was peopled, when
great cities had sprung up and nearly
one-half million farm were under cul
tivation in the Great Northern's em
pire. Everybody saw it then, but
"Jim" Hill saw it when there was
nothing there to see. That is why he
was a great railroad builder. If he
" had been less he would have built his
road between two ' established mar
kets, paralleling competing lines, and
fought for scraps.
' But Hill didn't build his road and
wait for business to come. He took
business out into the Northern's ter
ritory and planted it there. He made
vevery acre in his empire work for his
road. He peopled it, stocked it, plant
ed it. ' ;
It took imagination to, spend $30,
000 a mile to build a railroad that ap
parently got farther away from any
where every mile it lengthened. It
took imagination to see the time
when the unbroken prairie would be
Waving in wheat for the road to haul
40 market. It took imagination to seee
tiie road at tidewater unloading steel
from Pittsburgh on ships found -for
the Orient It took -imagination to
. see branch lines bringing down lum
ber from the northern forests to give
the road a return haul east. Yet all of
these things James J. Hill saw, and"
Isaw them while they were yet far off.
'That is when all men of imagination
see things ahead of their fellows.
That is the reason they succeed. The
men who didn't see what Hill saw
Would have liked very much to buy
his road afterwards: Such a one was
Harriman. Harriman is known as a
great railrod man. He ws, but he was
'not a pioneer. He was a rebuilder. He
took the Union Pacific when it was
bankrupt, and by spending millions,
made it a profitable enterprise, yield
ing large returns for himself and the
men who had faith in him. He went
out of the range of railroad develop
ment, which Hill never did, and em
'harked in gigantic speculation.
' The Hill fortune was rooted in the
ground. His work is likewise rooted
and. will grow. The empire he opened
ip will continue to send its wealth our
to the world and the road he built
'will continue to take its toll of it.
There could be no better example of
the fruits of a builder's imagination.
The average business man thinks his
business is to sell the goods he deals
in to such customers are happen to
pass his door. The exceptional busi
ness man the one with vision, the
James J. Hill of his line helps his
city to bring more people. The more
who come whether attracted by the
beauty of its park, the excellence of
its transportation system or the cheap
ness of its utilities the more custo-.
mers will pass it doors. The buiness
man and the city who master that
reciprocal principle have mastered the
secret of James J. Hill.
