settlers are strangers, although you
used TO know the owner of every ranch.
In a nut shell-when you come across "a
place where the improvements are lin-
tied and going 70 wreck. and tho owner
cursing the country and people In gen
srai. you can safely bank on II that
such a settler Is u detriment to any
community and that he won't last long.
The man who yearly adds TO his posses
sions. buildings and acreage. Ii the ono
who Is satisfied with the country. and
Is not apt TO sell out nj the first oppor-
tunity. When the Inherent is gone the
country presents u different aspect, and
the assessed valuation increases more
rapidly. and as n consequence lightens
taxation.
