 This having been decided after con- siderable argument, we settled down to wait for the completion of the Ward block. Once the rents from that struc- ture should begin to come in, it was agreed we should take out ready mon- ey enough to return east. The remain der. less Talbot's expenses, would Of course have to go back into releasing all the other interests. The formal opening had been arranged for the 1st of January.
 In the meantime we loafed magnifi- gently and lived on my money. Now that our futures were all assured, Tank and Johnny condescended to tempora- " loans. Occasionally we could help Talbot in some of the details of his varied businesses, but most of the time we idled. I do think we deserved a rest.
 Our favorite occupation was that of reviewing our property. To this end we took long tramps over the hills, hunting painstaking1y for obscure cor ner stakes or monuments that marked some one of our numerous lots. On them we would gaze solemnly, al though in no manner did they differ from all the other sagebrush hill coun- try about them. In a week we knew accurately every piece of, property be- longing to our interests, and we had listed every other more tangible equi- ty or asset. One of Johnny's favorite feats was to march Tank and me up to bar, face us and interrogate us according to an invariable formula. We must have presented com1cal sight, with my great bulk and round, fresh face alongside the solemn, lank

 How much is one-twentieth of two thousand thousandT inquired Johnny.
 "One hundred thousand" Tank and I chorused.
 "Is that a plutocrat?" idemandec Johnny cryptically. |
 "It is!' we cried.
 Our sense of our own financial i'm portance being thus refreshed, we ad- vanced in rigid military formation to the bar and took our drinks. Two million dollars was the amount we hac chosen as representing the value o. our interests. In deciding upon this figure we considered ourselves very moderate in refusing to add probable future increment. It might also be added that we equally neglected to de- duct present liabilities. Nobody ever guessed what this mysterious perform ance of ours meant. but every one Ame to expect it and to be amused by it. In a mild way we and our foui nonkeyshines came to be well known institution.
 Having nothing else to do, we en- tered heartily into the life and pleas ures of the place, and we met many of the leading citizens.
 From them I heard of the state of commercial affairs, with its systems of consignments and auctions, it's ru- mors of fleet clipper ships, its corner of the market, it's gluttings with un- foreseen cargoes of unexpected vessels and all the other complex and delicate adjustments and changes that made business so fascinating and so uncer- tain. All these men were filled with . great optimism and an abiding en- thusiasm for the future They talked of plank roads, of sewers, of schools, churches, hospitals, pavements, fills, the raging of hills, wharves, public buildings, water systems, and they talked of them so soberly and in such concrete terms of accomplishment that the imagination was tricked into ac.

 wv without, so to speak, moving
 from his tracks made for tune, while we, aftcr going through many hardsphis, adventures and hard work, had returned almost penniless. One of our first tasks was to convince Talbot of the injustice to himself in giving us shares based on a propor- tionate money investment. We made him see after awhile that hts own gen. fus counted for something in the mat ter. He then agreed, but reluctantly, to reduce our shares to twentieth each and included me in this despite our previous agreement. If we had adhered to that my proportion would

of the factors necessary for a

that among lawyers, there is some
difference of opinion ON this

Potatoes in Ohio at the present

coast will bring that much or
more, and if packed in the right
manner there is no limit to the
price that can be secured for

apiece upwards, so it can be seen
that the market will be a good
one.
