cent. 1t Will, no doubt, be a pleas
ant surprise to the men to learn of
the advance, and it was stated that it
was made without request from the
employees, the management having
concluded that the wages of certain

because of the large business of the
road and the necessarily increased du-
ties.
A general schedule giving the de-
tails and showing the rate of increase
for each class will be issued by the

they will be busy for some weeks tell

The letter accomDanyisg the stone in
dicates that the farmers are almost as
much excited over the limestone as
are the farmers in this section over
oil and coal deposits. Many farms in
Herkeley county have been optioned
for $500 an acre and two or three have
been bought outright. On some of
them the stone analyzeds 90. z per cent

the farms under option are not worth
$40 an acre for agricultural purpoes
and the owners look forward to the
greatest prosperity of their lives if
