INTERRUPTED scores Of times, daily by
delegations of railroad men asking
thataSa date for the decision be set.
AS many as 800, calls have been re-
ceived in a single day. he said.

reached, will have on the strikes of
railroad men who walked out with
out authorization of their national
sbrotherhoods. is problematical, rail

declined to consider the claims Of the
sstrikers. The railroads announced
that the mems places were vacant

rights
Officials of the Is railroad unions
are to meet here Friday for consul
ftation and to learn, if possible, when
Nthe board will decide the wage cases.

LAND VALUATION
AND net INCREASES

The work of procuring data on the
net income of the farmer to see of it
justifies the land values is the object
Of work now under way in the Blue
Grass regions which has been started
and will be continued until sufficient
knowledge is gained to make an in
telligent estate.
Nh. Jesse Tapp, of the University
of Lexington, who is engaged in the
work in this section, was in Richmond
Wednesday and stated that he had al
ready prepared reports which have
been placed on record, of more than
1000 transfers of land, which will
prove valuable in making up the es-
innate. The attention of all has been
called to the situation, as a result of
the decided increase in land values
here and elsewhere.
There is an unprecedented demand
for land, Mr.. Tapp said, and he also
furnished the information that some
of the best products of the country
were being taken from Madison coun-
ty soil. The situation Is one that has
not been presented before and it is
with the view of getting the facts be-
fore the farmer as well as everyone
else that the woll1 is being carried on.
Reports of the investigation will be

Hilary held out his hand. "We'll

"Never again. so long as we're on

"Call them here" said Hilary.

with a volley OF interjections. The

CHAPTER ~.
The First Encounter.

Next morning Hilary drove slowly
through his property. He noticed with
approval a splendid growth of white
spruce. II was great timber coun-
try; Hilary had already come TO that
conclusion. and to this: that. properly
worked and managed, the st. Boniface
tract had the possibilities of consider
able profits. perpetual ones. II he cut
wisely and carefully.
After driving Mt slow pace for half
an hour he emerged into a little
burned.over district, from which he
could see for n good distance on every
side of him. He stopped the pony and
looked about him, trying to get his
bearings.
The road must run down to the
gorge, where was the main way be-
tween the MILL and the Interior of the
selgniory, Hilary decided.
He drove on again. The track had
been dlsused that season and was over
grown with creeping raspberry brlers.
which made progress difficult. Sud-
denly the underground fell away, and
the road ran upward again. hard and
firm. toward bridge that spanned a
wide creek tributary to Rocky river.
Now Hilary knew where he was. II
was the creek which he had passed
that morning when he drove. out with
Connell to inspect the selgnlory.
He was about to continue his way
along the main road to the mill. but an
impulse urged him to turn the horse
nbout and seek the road that led to Lee
blanc's old concession. Presently he
heard the sound Of axes among the
trees. He came upon the clearing, to
find the old camp still standing. and o
great pile OF newly hewn timber
stacked up under the trees.
At Hilary's appearance two or three
men looked up from the logs which
they were saving and whispered. They
seemed to draw together. At that mo.

They got the rig and drove to The

logs had wedged them together here.
It was clear that It would be necessary
to start the mass with dynamite.

"A week. maybe. for good work.

sGet gang to work at daybreak to
morrow" Hilary instructed him.
That night Hilary congratulated him
self on having started his counter-of-
fensiye against Brousseau. In spite Of
