LEW W. HILL WORTH MILLION
Begins in Omaha as Mail Clerk Torty
Years Ago.
ACCUMULATES PROPERTY HERE
Heal Estate in the CUr "d Farm
l.nnd All Pronounced Flrst-Class
nd Go to His Three
Nephews.
When the will and Inventory of the prop
erty of the late Lew W. Hill, are filed In
court they will Ehow. It Is said, that the
man who started In Omaha as a mall clerk,
died forty years later a millionaire.
Bankers and attorneys who have had
dealings with Mr. Hill have variously esti
mated his fortune at from $500,000 to
$2 0u0,0u0, but by fr the greatest number
were of the opinion ithat Mr. Hill was not
In the millionaire class as yet. though It
waa known that his holdings In city prop
erty were worth JoOO.CCO.
But the Sarpy, Douglas and Washington
county farms nd mortgages held by Mr.
Hill are easily worth as much more than
the "property In Omaha.
The corner at Fifteenth and Douglas
n.d hv Mr. Hill until he recently
deeded It to a nephew, is said to be wort.l
$200,000 at least and made more valuable
by having a first class tenant. The Her
Grand hotel property was deeded to Mr.
Hill last winter by P. E. Her and the con
sideration mentioned was $100,000. but It was
a complicated deal and It la understood that
Mr. Hill put much more money than
$100,000 into the property, probably as much
s $1S0.000 to fltiP.OOO.
For years Mr. H1U has held the property
t Seventeenth and Capitol avenue, which
has a speculative vclue. said to be some
where around $23,000 to $30,000.
Ttto Whole Blocks.
Bick of CrMgliton ui lversity. between
California and Hurt streets. Mr. Hill owned
two blocks of real estate which has never
been platted! It is estimated as worth from
$K).liO0 to $50,000.
Scattered all over the city are lots and
houses worth from $V to $5,000 which were
held by Mr. Hill, while he was the owner
of large number of farms In 8arpy,
Douglas and Washington counties.
"He did not have a poor farm in th
entire collection," said one who has been
closo to many of the deals and handled
some of the business. "It is Impossible
to say t this time what the acreage will
amount to which he held In his own name,
but they are all valuable farms and there
are plenty ot them. But he gave away
a good many rarms, sevrrai io m
nephews.
"The property held by Mr. Hill at the
time of his death or given to Ms relatives
wl'.hln the last two years would make
Mm easily a millionaire."
It is said that when the will of Mr. HU1
Is filed with the court it wilt be brief
and will not contain much Information
about Ms arrairs. Only the inventory will
give the public an Idea of what he was
actually worth.
Ktikfwi Are the Heirs.
Phirley H. Wilson and George T. Wilson.
Mr. Hill s deceased sister s sons, will share
the property with John W. Hill and I.ew
Hill, all of whom have already received
large gifts from him. The "Wilson boys,"
as they are known to some of the asso
ciates of the late Mr. Hill, are young men
who have made themselves Independent,

business. They are both said to be well
capable of receiving and handling the
property given to th$n by Mr. Hill.
During his long llfo In Omaha Mr. Hill
did not assist to any extent any of the
institutions which were constantly solicit
ing a part of his weulth, but he has been
more than generous with members of his
family slnco he first entered the dry goods
business In Cairo, 111., and made a success
of It. It Is anticipated that his will with
out a doubt will pursue the same policy
In tho distribution of the fortune and Im
mediate relatives will receive the entire
amount.
APPRAISERS REGRET BALK
Hoped Mrs. Carter's Generoattr Would
' Lead All to Aid In Park
far Cltr.
"We had hoped that the magnanimity
of the gift of Mrs. Carter of $50,000 for
the purchase of 261 acres of land surround
ing what is Known ns Cut-Off lake for a
park as a memorial to her husband, would
strike a responsive chord In every man
in Omaha," says K. K. Howell, member
of the Board of Appraisers. "On account
of tills great philanthropy the appraisers
firmly believed that tlicre would be but
little trouble In securing clear title to all
the land wanted for I he park."
Mr. Howell says that the appraisement
of the land amounts to $41,900, leaving
rearly $2,000 of the original gift of $5O,0uu
for Improvements. The Kountie and Davis
estates put in a claim for practically
$6,000 for their land, the majority of which
Is under water, liy decisions of the su
preme court3 of Illinois and Iowa, the
old bed of a navigable streams is public
domain. If a river changes Its course and
flows through private property the owner
of that property loses the land usurped
by the river, unless the course of the
stream can be diverted. But he does not
become possessed of the land which formed
the orl)flnal bed of the river. The original
bed of a navigable stream remains public
domain, according to these two decisions.
"Actinu on court decisions, the Board
of Appraisers and the Board of Park
commissioner have contended all along
that we should p.yv for land only, not for
water." says Mr Howell. "We appraised
the ltnded holdings of the Kountze and
Davis estates, but paid no attention to the
scf-called water rights."
SIXTEEN SHACKS ARE DOOMED

Union Pacific Report Evidence Higher
Rates Not Needed.
AGITATION CONFINED TO EAST
J. A. Muii roe, Freight Traffic Manager
of Overland, Says He Knovre
Nothing of the Move
ment. "W. C. Brown, senior vice president of
the New York Central lines, has been the
most active In the crusade for higher
freight rates and has Issued several pa
pers on tho subject," said J. A. Munroe,
freight traffic manager of the Union Pa
cific. "I know nothing about the meeting
of the railroad presidents In New York ex
cept what was carried In the press dis
patches. It appears the eastern lines are
the hardest pinched and feel they must
raise the freight rates or cut wages. Mr.
Brown claims It would be a national
calamity to cut the wages of the employes,
so the only alternative Is to raise the rates.
"The Union Pacific annual statement,
which has Just been given out is estimated,
as far as June is concerned, for the figures
are not complete for that monLh. The re
port shows fot the entire fiscal year, which
Included about four and a half months of
unprecedented prosperity, and the Union
Pacific earned enough during that time to
carry It through the rest of the fiscal year,
which was during the time of depression,
when expenses were cut to the bottom and
every effort made to keep the net revenues
as strong as possible In the face ot a great
loss of business.
Slight Advance Might Be Good.
"The gist of Mr. Brown's argument Is
that a slight advance in freight rates
might be made with great benefit to the
railroads and no burden to the public. He
argues that a slight advance would not be
noticeable to the consumers on many com
modities and the aggregate would nelp the
railroads materially. The prosperity of the
communities depends largely on the pros
perity of the railroads, and If the railroads
do not prosper the country languishes and
the logical thing to do la to let the railroads
get a little more money on freight rates.
"The public at large Is beginning to see
there Is much of merit In Mr. Brown's ar
guments. The price of all commolltles la
going up, as well as the cost of labor,
and It seems unreasonable that the raIN
roads should not be permitted to make a
fair advance as conditions change from
time to time."
Fast Ban to Denver.
The Union Pacific made a splendid run
with the western classification special
Wednesday from Omaha to Denver. The
regular Denver train which leaves Omaha
at midnight Is the fastest scheduled train
on the Union Pacific road and y t this
special made the trip In half an hour l.'ts
than the scheduled time for the regular
Denver train. A three weeks' meeting of
the western, classification committee Is on
at Manitou and the special through Omaha

In the week, however, when "Pote"
George S. Powell sent back a mall pouch
ot postal cards on which this classlo
poem was inscribed:
We've got it on this Shrlner bunch;
They're velvet for our team.
And I've a life-sized, throbbing hunch
We re starting up the stream.
"Powell wasn't dreaming for once," said
Mr. Talmage. "Ho got the vibrations
straight that we would win something and
we did. The patrol consisted of twenty
tour members and two captains. We had
a banner which was a prize winner of'
Itself, beside we had four different uni
forms, from those new brown one we
wore on our departure to the full-dress
temple uniforms, to say nothing ot our
twenty-four suits each of baby blue un
derwear. We were simply bound to take
a prize. Each member of the patrol wore
a hat band which In addition to "Tangier"
bore tho name of 'Omaha.' "
I'utrol an the Prance.
The patrol nut only niarcheei In St. Paul,
up to the Auditorium urirt back faveril
times, but cn Invitation went to Minne
apolis and put on a arade with a fall
band at the service of the Omuhans.
Passing along the Uriels the Tangier
temple patrol was cheered and from tun
top of the city hull In Minneapolis came a
"Hurrah for l'at Crowe" as the Omahans
passed.
"We got '.a had one night," said Mr.
Talmage. "The arrargr ments slipped m
some way and wearing our heavy uniforms
we were t-eated in the third gallery, whlcl!
was hotter than all the burning sanda
which novices talk about, but winning the
flag was none lOJrre cf satisfaction to tho
Omahans if they did suffer tome."
