He has been up there all this last week, too, doing the railroad's dirty work, and backing Ulsteen up. 'Legitimate profit, legitimate profit," he broke out. "Can we raise wheat at a legitimate profit with a tariff of four dollars a ton for moving it two hundred miles to tide-water, with wheat at eighty-seven cents?
He didn't know he had offered the Chief Ranger a dime for saving his life. Of course the rangers were put on for guard duty around the railroad station and power house, day and night, and the fact that they protected the railroad's property at odd hours did not relieve them from their own regular duties the rest of the time.
"They're not likely to follow us up here not at this season, and now the railroad's going through, they're attracted by that." "Do they never come to you, at your home?" "Not often. They think I'm a sort of white 'medicine man' kind of a hoodoo, and leave me alone." She looked at him with mystification in her eyes, but did not ask what he meant, and returned to her mother.

There is but one interlude in the desolate expanse Niagara. Before he reaches the station called Niagara Falls, the tourist has a foretaste of what is in store for him.
He got talking with Richmond, old times and all, and he just wanted to come. And the railroad's going through the ten-acre pasture, and Richmond'll get a lot of money."

A law had been passed in 1850 authorizing the Legislature to step in whenever the dividends rose above ten per cent, on the railroad's actual cost, and to declare what should be done with the surplus.
