PRESIDENI DEFENDS ,GREAT NORTHERN STILWELL POINTS OUT WHAT THE RAILROAD HAS DONE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY Advance sheets of the forthcomingul book, "Colnfidence or National Sul cide?" by Arthur Stilwell, president of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway compatly, Indltate that the voluamie will posses, more then ordl lary interest to the student of rail way matters. To Molltalna the follow ing pages, dealing with the Great Northern, will be timely. They are taken from it chapter which bears the caption, "Wlhre is the Watetr in the Gtreat Northerl!"' PIresident Stilwell says: "The Grealt Northern railroad has some 7.000 miles Iof truck. This was the creative work of Jates J. Hill: his energy, hi- foresight, and his alone, built this roadl. He was laughed at, its it was wilht bildinglt the Kansas. City outllherln-llpronounlced u dreamer, and the territory the road was to lpenll was talled a delsert. The raill roa'rd men of his s'ctilon sllld: "Wailt until he mulist renIew the ties, and then see where lhe will I,e." lhut Mr. Hill, Ilke .nil nien that destiny hats chosen for such worIk, ullld Se tile end, thoutgh notne else foresaw. It was the hprophetic vlalan of James J. Hill with. A'JTR A HRILD)I J'. SULTAN OF ZULU. San t'rancIlsco, Aug. 30.-Thl'e sultual of Zulu mnitde popular by light ,lecra and Alice Roosevelt lnlgworth, is tot visit America within a few weeks. It is expected that this picturesque uon-o arch will visit many of the principal cities and is likely to call.upon Presi dent Taft. The sultan coines with the avowed intention of adding to his harem of 14 wives a beautiful American girl for his fifteenth1bride, who will share one fifteenth' of the honor of being the queen of Zulu land. True, the sultan's idea of accepta billty may be a trifle captious, and the girl; when deemed acceptable, may balk a little at being the fifteenth wife but the possiblities for frenzied fl lnance are none the less obvious. Tile sultan's minsdlon to Americu, however, is twofold. He Is a con sistent conserver of time and otller re sources. He 11ms to be, withl 14 wives dependent upon him. He is looking for a fifteenth wife, but lie is just as earnestly seeking an increase in his pension, which Is now but $125 a month. With 14 helpmeets to divide his $125 among, even the sultan has some trouble making both ends meet. The sultan raised the $25,000 from his ancestral estates. Wives are his extraagaunce. He paid $25,000 for one English girl, who lives in Singa pore. His fondness for American women dates from the time President Taft and his party visited Jolo. In tile party was Mrs. Nicholas Long worth, to whom the susceptible sultan immediately proposed marriage. He gave her a beautiful burnt leather sad dle anra some pearls to show Ills good will. Tile sultan waved farewell to his 4,00k subjects and started for America via China more than a month ago. Bo fore leaving Jolo, where he has his palue, hils haremand hanks for pearls, he stated to his 14 odalisques that he would bring, if posslble, a fairer wife from over the seas, and by way of conciliation, also told of his intention to leave no stone unturned in seeking an increase to his pension. The 14 wives know as well as he that high cost of living has its effects on loin cloths'and betal nuts, which, are as necessary In the sultan's coun try as bread and cheese are llere, and each knows that,lt her liege lord is not successful at Wbashington, that her monthly allowance will shrink from $8.99 to $8.33, which is muost palpably too small to support a monarch's wbfe In Tegal state, though most of .has wlives wea., naught but reeds. .t11ll, on his $18tIhwhas found the monthly 4)111 ovr9rwHei.ilng, held from others) which enabled him to keep up the fight amid crop fall. urea, panlics slander, and yet live and work, and give service to the world. "James J. Hill, in building the Great Northern, was positive that his mes sage of prosperity and blessing was to be delivered at the Pacific coast; he cuarried the message to Garlia. And what a message it was, written on the ground in characters of steel. "What a bIlessing it was for that wonderful unoccupied country! Cities sprang up, and millions of acres re Salonded to the song of the plow. Aladdin's lamp never produced so wonderful a dream as thils reality millions of homes, great waving fields of grain. (lant trees that for cen turh.I had resisted all stress of sea Ssobsl. and all foes, became tile su511 Jeots of the king of commllrce. What a blessing to confer oni tile nation! It was like a distant protectorate: it was not like the Philippinel--over the sea: here was all empire, within, yet added to our own sleeping coulltry. What a gift from one m1an. "ILet us admit what tllHill had done, someone else might have. accomlpished at a Inater day: )but 11111 was 10 years In advance of the times. What a gift this was from one empire builder! Figures art- cold, and words are weak to tell tile story. "The mllnd of m1an1 cn , scarcely conlprehend all tilt Ilessinlgs contfered through tile ulldilng of the Great Northern, but let us try to enunlerlate solmea of these. Tile G(reat ~Northerll has 7,000 miles of truck: figure that 2,000 miles of tills territory would halve ,been developed by otller railroads, so, 111 oly 5,000 miles of tile 7,000 is de velopmennt credit due to Mr. Ill1l's Ienterprise. "Figure that the (i1rrat Northernl has Increases Value. increased land values but $20 per acre 1in 1,000 mill'. of its territory. We will say that land only for 510 miles on eltller side of tilhe track was increaled ilt value. I am convinced, considering increased values of all tile cities and towns brought into being by thills road, and the value of all tile minerals and timber ciontained, tills Increase should hI estimated at double or treble above figure. To be conservative we will only put the Inlcrease at $20 per acre. "Here is a section of land 5,000 ,by 100 miles tributary to tile G(rcut Northern, and inl this territory Is 500,000 square miles or 320.000.000 acres. Figure that tills has Increasted $20 per acre. Inl market value, since the advent of lthe road; tile Illcrease would then amount to $6.400,000.000 of wealth added to the country 'by tile untiring work of James J. 11111. "Ehstimate that Hill was only 10 years in advance of othllers ill creating these values and we will not credit all the development to him; we will only credit him with 8 per cent simple llterest on tlhese created values for thill 10-year period, which amounts to $3.840.000.000. Bear In minlld that this is just the interest for 10 years on what 'Hill created In propertly and land values, and only taking In 5.000 miles of tile 7,000. "If you earn 860 per year you uhve the same increase as a man wlthl $1.000 Invested at 6 per cent. Increase is tilhe 41nnu11al revenue from your time or frolm your Invested money. "Now consider this great territory bIroulght to life by the Great Northern railroad, of tilhe ines. the farmns, of the cities, tile steamship business, de v.loped by H-1111 and the Great Noetih Helps Labor. "At least 500,000 people found lnm ploymlent at good wages, by reason of tills one man's energy. If each onlly earns $2 per day tills is increased in come for employed labor alllounlting to $1,000,000 per day, or for 300 days Is $300,000,000,000 annually.. Tills is 6 per cent on five billion dollars. "In other words, through Hill's work United States labor was able to earn as much additional money as capital could earnt on tile investment of five billion of dollars. "It staggers tile humantllll mllnd to think that one railroad built by one man could bring such aN blesshing to a nation. "How all the United States was Ilenased by thills increased earning ea pacity of labor! Men frotm all the earth were called 'to this sectionl by these opportunities. They came here from Germlany, 'France, Sweden, Nor. way, England, Austria, brought their families, etrnled this money, sponlt it here. "What did this increase learlling of labor do for our iholesale trade and retail trade? Hill increased land1 val ues at least 58,400,000,000, lie Inlcreastd thile annual value of labor fully $300, 000,000 annually. "I have noted two great bnllefits conferred by tile Great Northern; ii creased land values and increased in come for labor. Safe Investment. "The third benefit 4I, opportunity of. fered by the safe investment of capital In home industries. "The wealth of England, France, Holland seeks investment in foreign lands. Their territory is fully I1n. proved and therefore the idle money must find investment in undeveloped countries. What opportunitica the great empire of the Great Northern of. fored for the investment of foreign funds in the United Ststeu! At once it witnessed ,the building of great elevators and mills at Minneapolis and St. Paul; the opening of gold, silver and copper eJines; construction of smelters, electric light and water plants: hundreds of towns sprang up; Spokane, seattle and Tacoma were built. "These creations surely may be val ued at from six to ten billions of dol lars. "Therefore, we must acknowledge that through Mr. Hill's construction of the GOeat Northern railway, the northwest has received, an increase in land values amounting to $6,000,400,000; second, added annual payrolls for all labor along the Great Northern ter'rl. tory, $300,000,000; third, Investment op. portunities In the region for $6,000,000, 000, "If we suppose that the total of Great Northern stook ($210,000.000) is waset (;whJob it piuredly is not), Latest News of the August Cear NEW ITEMS AND NEW PRICES MARKED FOR A SPEEDY AND FINAL SELUNG Clearance Cr Clearance ' Women's Sweaters IWool Dresses, 8.7 ;l.in' ,.''l'r'~-('s1 k.it. it , i re .l('i('('r' ilr t Co'ut DreMses.. wh ite and whiite with ijiuk or blue Il 'th I p to $12. 30 at m~u -rice tl'li I Iiigs. io e few misss' live n (loing itte only ..................$1.25 Irondantht, serges 1nd fancy nuized j luitgiu, inin evelry ltwsiratle style r so .lid black, '4'itel .
