Hill and Harriman. The central figures in that gigantic business drama are all dead. They were James J. Hill and Edward H. Harriman, railroad magnates, and J. P, Morgan and Jacob Schiff, bankers. It was the battle between the Hill- Morgan and the Harriman-Schiff com- binations for the control of the road that sent the stock soaring from $170 to $1,000 in two hours’ trading, and it was the agreement between the warring financiers at mid-day that no stock would be called for that day, together with the sudden formation of a big banking. pool of $19,500,000 that saved the exchange from disaster. If current prices were to be the test on that stock houses might have been termed insolvent. Memories of that day are®still fresh in the minds of old time traders, but the gist of their comment was: “Let’'s not talk about it.” T0 REVISIT WEST Hamlin Garland Going Back There to Again See Places He Wrote About in His Novels.
