SAMUEL HILL
A great American was lost yesterday when Samuel!
Hill, railroad executive, good roads enthusiast and a
friend of European and Oriental rulers and leaders, j
passed away in his castle on the Columbia River.
Mr. Hill was perhaps best known as a globe trot-!
ter and a “friend of Kings.” Whle he knew Washing- j
ton as his home after 1905, his never-resting nature ,
took him to all sections of the United Statse and sever-j
al times around the world. During his prolonged visits I
to Europe and the Orient he was frequently the guest
of Royalty, being numbered among the intimate friends
of King Albert of Belgium and Queen Marie of Ruma
nia.
He invited Albert of Belgium, then the crown
prince, to be his guest on a tour of America in 1912. To
properly entertain Prince Albert, Hill built a pictur
esque and massive mansion in an exclusive section of
Seattle, and constructed a Flemish castle at Maryhill,
Wash., w^hich he later turned into an international
museum. The death of the prince's father and Albert's;
accession to the Belgian throne prevented his proposed
visit.
Marshal Joffre of France, who became acquainted
with Hill during the war, toured America in 1922 with
the Western globe-trotter as his host.
Queen Marie of Rumania accepted Hill’s invitation
in 1926 and came, with Princess Ileana and Prince
Nicolas, on a much-feted visit to the United States and
Canada. While here Her Majesty dedicated the Ruman
ian room of the Mary hill Museum, the castle on a high
Washington cliff overlooking miles of the winding Col
umbia river and half cultivated and wood hills. Queen
Marie brought with her, to add to Hill’s collection, gifts
from Rumania and from royal houses and nobility of
the Balkans and Greece. In her dedication she brought
tears into Hill’s eyes when she spoke of him as the
“dreamer and builder whom she understood.”
When the royal party left the train, followng the
dedicatory ceremonies, to motor to Portland, Ore., Hill
accused Major Stanley Washburn, special aide to the
Queen, of slamming an automobile door in the face of
Governor Walter M. Pierce of Oregon. That night at
the Portland horse show, the bluff globe-trotter turned
to Washburn and, after an exchange of words, is re
ported to have said, “I will crush you if you do not obey
me/' Whereupon Washburn and Col. John H. Carrol,
for 35 years a friend of Hill and designated by various
railroads as “Her Majesty’s Host,” immediately left.
Differences between Hill, and Washburn and Car
rol could not be settled and resulted in repeated depart
ures from the royal party; Mrs. Adolph Spreckles, San
Francisco society matron, leaving before the train ar
rived at Seattle where she was to have been the Queen s
hostess. Hill left in Seattle, and later Lois Fuller, elder
ly danseuse and friend of Queen Mane, and May Birk
head, the dancer’s secretary, broke connections.
Samuel Hill’s every undertaking was a hobby and
whose every hobby was an enterprise; he attained suc
cess as a lawyer, railroad executive, financier and road
builder.
The critter that sprouted the first appendix will
never know what a legacy he left.

GRADUATING CLASS OF
1931 HONOR GUESTS !
AT MULE AFFAIR!
In honor of the 1931 graduates
of the Seward high school, a
party was given last evening by
Superintendent of Schools, M. B. |
Roaney, and Reed White, member j
of the faculty, at their residence, j
A delightful sociable evening
was enjoyed by everyone
The graduating class included
Mary Ella Larson, Katherine Hoi- j
ton, Mary Harris, Ella Johnston,!
Donald Shellhorn, Jack Rosness
and Thoburn Hatten.
Members of the faculty pre
sent were Miss Wheeler, Miss!
Sears, Miss Painter, Miss Kaem
mer, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Roaney j
and Mr. White.
A laughable incident occured
while refreshments were being
served, which should be mention- ;
; ed, because it created much
i mirth. Miss Kaemmer and Mr. j
Roaney were both in the kitchen j
opening the liquids (loganberry j
juice) when unexpctedly the cork j
j hit the ceiling and up spurted
| the juice in a gorgeous purple;
j fountain, spraying the couple j
; from head to foot.
SPECIAL CASE HEARD
HERE EASE EVENING;
The case of the Far West Fish
eries against Libby McNeill and
Libby Co., involving an injunc
tion by the Far West to prevent
Libby’s from operating a fish
trap at a certain site in Cook
Inlet, was given a preliminary
hearing before Judge E. Coke
Hill last evening in the Federal
building.
After listening to the arguments j
Judge Hill took the matter un
der advisement- It is thought the
ease wall be heard before May.
Attorney R. E. Robertson of
Juneau, an arrival on the SS Ala- |
meda, was counsel for the Libby j
interests, and Attorney K. F. |
Morton, who arrived on Friday’s !
train, represented the Far West.
Judge Hill came over from his
ValdcsTheadquarters Friday aboard
the SS Alameda. Each of the
three returned today to their
offices.

Mrs- Wagner, wife of the radio |
electrician who was sent up from
the States many months in

called out on business and will
rejoin Mr. Wagner at Anchorage
in about six weeks.
