arc described and an analytical outline
shows these features in detail. IL.
More than three-fourths of the rail
road milage of the United states Is
operated by companies which engage in
special efforts to promote agriculture.
A list Of these companies is given at
the end Of the bulletin. These railroads
enter counties whose total area is al
most nine-tenths of the total land area
of the United States and whose farms
compose more than nine-tenths of the
farm area i'm the entire country,

RAILROADS AS
THE PROMOTERS
OF FARMING.

For a generation or more the rail-
roads of this country have been max
ing efforts to increase the number of
farmers in certain regions, thus trying
to promote agriculture and through
greater agricultural prosperity, to IN
crease their revenues derived. from
hauling farm products. Within the past
decade these efforts to encourage agri-
culture have been extended to include
instructions in methods of farming. in
vestigation of the farming possibilities
of region, assistance in organizing
agricultural associations. cooperation
with state and county fairs, employ
ment of farm labor. aid in finding mar
kets. and other helpful lines of work.
These projects arc not confined to rail-
road companies; they are, however. the
most promipcnt of the several classes
Of business concerns engaged in similar
work.
Therefore the summary of recent de-
yelopments in the agricultural promo
tion work of railroads issued by Sc
cretary Wilson in a recent bulletin OF
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of agriculture. entitled Railroads
and Farming is of timely interest. This
publication reviews briefly some his
tOriCal features of the subje"t, giving
instances Of efforts made for tne settle
ment of farm lands in Kansas, Texas,

Daylight cast about for a trail, and
found one leading down the side
opposite to his ascent. Circling the
base of the knoll. he picked up with
his horse and rode on to the farm
house. Smoke was rising from the
chimney and he was quickly in con-
versation with nervous. slender
young man, who, he learned, was only
tenant on the ranch. How large
was it? A matter of one hundred and
eighty acres, though it seemed much
larger. This was because it was so
irregularly shaped Yes, it included
the clay-pit and all the knobs, and its
boundary that ran along the big can
yon was over mile long. Oh, yes,

living without working too hard.
They didn't have to pay much rent.
Hillard, the owner, depended on the
income from the clay-pit. Hillard was
well off and had big ranches and vine-
yards down on the fiat of the valley

AS Daylight listened, there came to
him sudden envy of this young fell

through the last few hours.

demanded

expense is but a trifie compared with

CHAPTER XII.

Daylight was in the thick of his
spectacular and intensely bitter fight
with the Coastwise Steam Navigation
Company, and the Hawaiian, Mica
raguan, and Pacific Mexican Steam
ship Company. He stirred up big
ger muss than he had anticipated,
and even he was astounded at the
wide ramifications of the struggle and
at the unexpected and homogeneous in
terests that were drawn into it. Every
newspaper in San Francisco turned
upon him. 1t was true, one or two of
them had first intimated that they
were open to subsidization, but Day
lights judgment was that the situa-
ton did not warrant such expenditure.
Up to this time the press had been
amusingly tolerant and goodsnaturedly
sensational about him, but now he was
to learn what virulent scurrilousness
an antagonized press was capable of.
Every episode of his life was resur-
rected to serve as foundations for ma
licious fabrications Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre-
tation put upon all that he had &C
complished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he was
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully. liar, desperate, and all-around
bad man." The whole affair sank to
the deeper deeps of rancor and savage
ness. The poor woman who had killed
herself was dragged out of her grave
and paraded on thousands of reams
of paper as a martyr and a victim to
Daylight's ferocious brutality.
He was like big bear raiding a
beehive, and. regardless of the stings,
he obstinately persisted in paving for
the honey. He gritted his teeth and
struck back. Beginning with raid on

Here he found no passage out for
his horse, and leading the animal. he
forced his way up the hillside. On
the crest he came through an amazing
thicket of velvet-trunked young ma
dronos. and emerged on an open hill
side that led down into tiny valley.
The sunshine was at first dazzling in
its brightness, and he paused and
rested, for he was painting from the
exertion. Not of old had he known
shortness of breath such as this, and
muscles that so easily tired at a stiff
climb. A tiny stream rar down the
tiny valley through tiny meadow
that was carpeted knee-high with
grass and blue and white nemophila

posture. Here, poised above big for

formed the little level stretch of vege-
table garden. The soil was fat and
black, and there was water in plenty
for he saw several faucets running
wide open. Forgotten was the brick
yard. Nobody was at home, but Day
light dismounted and ranged the vege-
table garden, eating strawberries and
green peas. inspecting the old adobe
barn and rusty pillow and harrow, and
rolling and smoking cigarettes while
he watched the antics of several
broods of young chicks and the moth
er hens.
Nothing could satisfy his holiday spir-

hours afterward he emerged, tired and
