Market Gave Evidence Of
Curtaiing Operations on Eve
of Easter Holiday.

New York, April S.-Today's stock
market gave every evidence at the
tarly stage of the disposition to cur
| tail operations on the eve of the
Easter three days recess. The oc.
casion was seized upon, however by
numerous pools to rush into promi'
lnenee innumerable favorites and to
| push them upward by violent ad.
vances. The substantial body of the
stock list was quiet today but firm
| IN tone.
Such ebulition as that of today in
low grade stocks is accepted usually
as sign of degeneration in the
speculation and the harbnger of the
end of movement. The market
showed its recent disposition to ig.
more bad signs, however, and there
was no urgent pressure to get out
of stock holdings over the holiday
interval.
The stock market kept one eye
on the wheat market and saw evil
dence there to confirm the belief that
the government crop report did not
promise we'll for the winter wheat
crop. The reassembling of the con,
ference over the coal miners wages
was hopefully regarded as promising
a settlement, The coalers cont nued
ito benefit from this view.
The estimates of the currency
movement indicate that money sup
plies will be increased by the time
stock market operations are resumed
Monday next Receipts on balance
from the interior thus far this week
arr reported to have reached as large
an amount as the total from that
source for all of last week. Money,
therefore. continues exceedingly easy
A good deal of encouragement is felt
over the marked improvement in the
government finances largely by rea-
son of the expansion in custom re-
ceipts.
Profit taking sales at the end of
the day subtracted about as much
from the prices of principal stocks as
had been added by the advance. leav-
ing the only notable changes of the
day in that class of stocks which
were made the feature of the day.

CHAPTER V.
The Crawling Stone.

The valley Of Crawling Stone river
marked for more than a decade the
dead line between the overland route
OF the white man and the last country
Of the Sioux. It was long after the
building of the first line before even
an engineers reconnaissance was
made in the Crawling Stone country.
Then, within ten years. three surveys
were made, two on the north side Of
the river and one on the south side,
by interests seeking coast outlet.
Three reports made in this way gave
varying estimates OF the expense OF put
ting q line up the valley. but the three
conceded IN this, that the cost would
be prOhibitive. Engineers Of reputa-
ton had in this respect agreed. but
Glover, who looked after such work
for Bucks, remained unconvinced, and
before McClOud was put into the op-
Grating department on the Short Line
he was asked by Glover % run a pre-
liminary up Crawling Stone valley.
Before the date OF his report the con-
illusions reached by other engineers mad
stood unchallenged
The valley was not unknown to
McCioud. His first year in the noun

Afterward, when he had become rail
road man, McClOud. sitting at a camp
fire with Glover and Morris Blood
heard them discussing the coveted and
impossible line up the valley He had
been taken into the circle Of construc-
tionists and was told Of the earlier re-
ports against the line. He thought he
knew something about the Elbow
mountains, and disputed the findings

a big one. and though more immediate
matters in the strategy Of territorial
control then came before him. the pre-
liminary was ordered and MCClOud <
findings were approved McCloud HIM
self was soon afterward engrossed in
the problems Of operating the noun

life was to build the Crawling Stone
line with a maximum grade of eight
tenths through the Box.
