He
says
there
’
s
some
talk
of
the
railroad
selling
us
their
sections
this
winter
.
”
“
Oh
,
he
did
,
did
he
?
”
exclaimed
Osterman
,
interested
at
once
.
“
Where
did
he
hear
that
?
”
“
Where
does
a
railroad
paper
get
its
news
?
From
the
General
Office
,
I
suppose
.
”
“
I
hope
he
didn
’
t
get
it
straight
from
headquarters
that
the
land
was
to
be
graded
at
twenty
dollars
an
acre
,
”
murmured
Broderson
.
“
What
’
s
that
?
”
demanded
Osterman
.
“
Twenty
dollars
!
Here
,
put
me
on
,
somebody
.
What
’
s
all
up
?
What
did
Genslinger
say
?
”
“
Oh
,
you
needn
’
t
get
scared
,
”
said
Annixter
.
“
Genslinger
don
’
t
know
,
that
’
s
all
.
He
thinks
there
was
no
understanding
that
the
price
of
the
land
should
not
be
advanced
when
the
P
.
and
S
.
W
.
came
to
sell
to
us
.
”
“
Oh
,
”
muttered
Osterman
relieved
.
Magnus
,
who
had
gone
out
into
the
office
on
the
other
side
of
the
glass
-
roofed
hallway
,
returned
with
a
long
,
yellow
envelope
in
his
hand
,
stuffed
with
newspaper
clippings
and
thin
,
closely
printed
pamphlets
.
“
Here
is
the
circular
,
”
he
remarked
,
drawing
out
one
of
the
pamphlets
.
“
The
conditions
of
settlement
to
which
the
railroad
obligated
itself
are
very
explicit
.
”
He
ran
over
the
pages
of
the
circular
,
then
read
aloud
:
“
’
The
Company
invites
settlers
to
go
upon
its
lands
before
patents
are
issued
or
the
road
is
completed
,
and
intends
in
such
cases
to
sell
to
them
in
preference
to
any
other
applicants
and
at
a
price
based
upon
the
value
of
the
land
without
improvements
,
’
and
on
the
other
page
here
,
”
he
remarked
,
“
they
refer
to
this
again
.
