It is very desirable that the whole question of land titles in Arizona should be thoroughly overhauled and set at rest. By the time a would-be settler has convinced himself tha, the land he is after does not belong tc the railroad, or to the school, or to g Spanish Grant, or to an Indian reser. vation, or'to U. s. military reserva tion or to Baron Revis or to Colone Willing, said settler will have to about conclude that he don't want any Ari zona land in his'n. Nothing tends more to retard the advance of coun try than unsettled land titles.
