Bob Walker Ran.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. Bob
Walker, a porter on the Northern Pa
cific, broke records at various dis
tances in a sprint for three miles along
the track near Palouse, Wash, south
of here, with $50 month job as the
stake. He won. Walker was on a
southbound train and had in his pos
session small valise belonging to a
passenger on the northbound train. He
had orders to deliver 1t as the trains
passed, but dropped it. The trains
were moving at slow speed and Bob
jumped off, recovered the valise and
followed the northbound train to carry
out orders, only to find that his own
train was passing away from him at
rapidly increasing rate of speed
Knowing the train would stop fifteen
minutes at Pullman, he started down
the track like a stake horse, arriving
on the station platform in time to
swing on to the rear platform of the
last car of the train, which was again
| under way.

Rails Worth More Than Farms.

The high price of farm property in
Rutherford county, Tenn, is not due
entirely to the productiveness of the
soil nor the satisfactory prices of farm
products.
The red cedar rails used to fence
most of the farms in this country are
now as valuable as is the land they
surround. The American Pencil Com.
pany is buying up all of these rails
that can be had, and good prices are
being realized for them by the sellers.
One farmer sold the rails from his
farm for $500 and it is stipulated
that they are to remain on the farm
for five years. Another farmer, l.. ID.
Harrell sold 10000 rails for about
SIS 900. Others have sold smaller
amounts, but in all cases it has aston
ished the farmers to learn how much
money they had invested i'm rails.
1t is said that the pencil company
has bought $4,000 worth of cedar
rails since the establishment of the
plant.
