 or Court Decision.

New York, March 17-An official of the rail- road brotherhoods who would not permit the use of his name made the flat declaration tonight that there would be no strike and that the brother hoods had won complete victory
 New York, March INV. G. Lee, spokesman for the four railroad brotherhoods, in a statement made tonight declared T believe that by Monday we shall reach an agreement which will avert a strike"
 Mr. Lee said the sporadic strikes in the middle west resulted from the fact that the brotherhoods had not been ableto get in touch with all their men before the hour set for the walkout to begin. He declared work probably would be resumed in all cases by midnight.
 REPORTED BASIS OF AGREEMENT
 New York, March 17-The agreement reached today between the railroad brotherhood chiefs and the managers provides, it was learned, for an application of the provisions of the Adamson law contingent upon the supreme court handing down a decision on Monday upholding it's constitution ality.
 The agreement reached today involved it understood concessions by both side the application of the Adamson law the interpretation of which has been in dispute The result ng compromise amounted in effect said to the propos ton made by President last for adjustment of the controversy eghour day and for overtime in freight and yard service.

The reason why Jewish freedom is to be granted so soon is that it is mark of appreciation by the Duma for the praiseworthy attitude of the Russian Jews when tempted by the bureacuracy to desert the popular cause"

It is almost as we'll known as "Uncle

offered each evening.
Southern California is the scene OF
the play, and the time covered eX

days Of Spanish rule, when the In
dams were treated considerably, kind
" and humanely, up to and through
the gold rush, when their lands and
properties were mercilessly cOnfis
Gated.
Santa Barbara, Monterey and San

in the days when the fathers walked

GRAZING AND HAYlAND

pr0ximate Is Per Cent Bet-

Had anyone told a pioneer rancher
of Colonel Roosevelt's North Dakota
COW days that grazing and hay lands
in this state would lease at $500 per
annum per quarter section, said p. T..
would undoubtedly have branded We
prophet as an unmitigated liar with
a broken bone in his head. The fact
that n quarter section near Beach did
lease for this amount was reported
several days ago. TO the $500 rental,
there is added a fee Of So, making the
actual cost of years lease 1903.
Other Quarters in Golden Valley
county leased for $3.50 and 1912.
The highest figure received for an
entire section during the recent leaS-
ing OF university and school lands in
western North Dakota, Deputy Land
Commissioner H. l.. Simmons reports,
is $500 for one years lease. The high
est price per section received to date
in the state is $677 in Dickey county.
