he sold the greater portion of 1t for

acre, or $500. SO that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
balance of over $500, which with

pay for the cost of operation. This

arrangements were necessary with the
railroad brotherhoods to call off the
threatened strike.

The formal letter in which this au-
thorization was made, signed by Elisha
