The campaign which the compan,
 has carried on to maintain it's posses
 sion has had elements of desperation
 in it. The killing of nine men ha,
 been mentioned. At one time the re
 presentatiyes of the company earned
 the fight into politics, and enlisted
 some of the Federal ofiiceholders ii
 a movement to secure at Washington
 the removal of Special Agent Flipper
 of the Court of Private Land Claims
 At the instance of the Boston com
 pany five different surveys have been made of the grant. Each time, by the discovery of new monuments, the company managed to spread the grant over little more territory, until 9l,OOO acres were embraced within the presented limits.
 Bn. the controversy is at an end now On purely legal grounds the Court wipes out this grant. The victory of the settlers is complete. The land and cattle company is the tresspasser The officers of the Court are yindicated.
 We reach the conclusion, there- fore, says the decision recently ren- dered, that the sale in question meaning the sale by the Treasurer of Sonora was void for want of power on the part of the officer attempting to make it, and judgment will accord ingly be entered rejecting the claim alleged by plaintiff and dismssing the petition
 The cattle company will have six months in which to take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. There have been several appeals taken from the land grant decisions of this Court, but none of them have been passed upon. The first of them is set 'or next October. This Private Land Claims Court is composed of five able nen. It has proceeded with great are in this new field Of litigation. The cases presented have been ex- mined with thoroughness. The opinion among the best lawyers who | lave followed the work of the Court is 
 hat it's decisions will, as a rule, stand. | nd that appeals to the Supreme Court Gill be of little avail. The result will e more of a wrench upon the purse tring of the Bostonians from the fact hat there is in existence a report to 'ongress made fifteen years ago by uryeyor General of Arizona declaring that the bona fide character of the Iaim is established beyond a doubt.v nd recommending a confirmation of ne grant.

dian lands were not temporaliIies, but
 part of the public domain, whicl
 could only be sold by Federal author
 ity of Mexico.
 There is good deal of doubt as tC
 whether the State of Sonora ever mad,
 any such sale. The syndicate set uT
 no Federal title. The sale of ls4I, ac
 cording to the claimants chain of title
 purported to be made Go a man named
 Aguilar. The deed bore the name Of
 Lopez, Treasurer General of Sonora.
 It appeared from the deed that Agui-
 lar paid $500 for the grant.
 At the close of one of the revolutions
 in Sonora this man Aguiar found him. self in hostile relations with General
 Gandara. who was in control, Agui.
 lar was brother-in-law of Gandara.
 but the Mexican revolutions the ties If family do not always bind. Gan dara contiscated the property of Agui. lar, but did not touch this grant. He was asked why, and he said that Agui- lar had no such grant, and there could not be any coniiscation Of something that he die not possess. It was told subsequently, that the sale was only a pretended one, and that Gandara used the name of his brother-in-law in the deed to transfer the grant for his own benefit.
 The grant was transferred from Aguilar, who, in turn, sold it to Sykes and Curry, of San Francisco. This was in,ls69, and the amount paid to the Mexican was between s600O and S700O. In 1877 Col Sykes, who is pretty well know as promoter, nego- tiated the sale of the grant for s75, ,OOO to some Boston gentlemen, who organ ized the Santa Rita Land and Cattle Company. The Boston people spent money in the construc- tion of buildings and in the purchase to stock the range.
 About the time the Santa Rita con- | Dany took possession and entered upon 1 elaborate improvements, settlers be- | gan to cast longing eyes toward the ;hoice portions of the Santa Cruz val ey. The American pioneer is a poor 'especter of corporations and syndi- 'ates. To covet is to claim. The set .lers ignored the warning of the land company and staked out their loca- ions. The land company brought in- suits in the local courts to ject the settlers, and was beaten very time. The settlers organized nd got Mir. Flipper to investigate the rant title. This developed the weak ess of the cattle company side of the ase. The controversy was carried to Washington, and fought over in the ienera Land Office and in the Inte- for Department. At the same time
 bitter, stubborn contest for actual was in progress upon the rant itself. The Boston capitalists nployed as their manager shrewd. etermined Scotchman, Colin Gamer { D, a relative of the Pennsylvania | enator. Cameron built wire fences e cut of the water supply from the 'ttlers' cattle. The fences were de- royed. Lawsuits and prosecutions 'ew out of that. But worst of all ere the assassinations. There is a cody page in the hiftory of the Gala Isas grant. Nine men have been He'd in the conflicts between Came ms force and the settlers. The San

mesquite grove was not there, Look
 out Hill' had passed from the memory
 of the oldest inhabitant, and the flat
 mesa was a very indefinite location.
 The cemetery could be found, but
 when the attempts were maue to run
 the lines to the points described the
 landmarks were missing.
 In the survey for the s.cckfarm the
 surveyor of eighty odd years ago re-
 ported that his starting point was in
 the lowlands along the river. He de
 signated it by a pile of stones, which
 has since disappeared. He ran north
 to the south line of the first survey.
 He went back and ran south to what
 he calls ''the dry fords The west line
 ran to the highest hill seen from
 certain point called Potrero." The
 east line was extended to the San Ca
 yetanO Mountains, and in the report
 the surveyor says he didn't go further
 because the mountain was so rough he
 couldn't. That is the survey of the
 stock farm. The San Cayetano Noun tain is well known in that region to- day, but the surveyor probably took a foot hill seven or eight miles east of the mountain proper and called it the mountain. As for the designation of the the dry ford, Fat certains seasons of the year there are numerous ''dry fordsn on the Santa Cruz.
 The modern claimants of this tract set up the assertions that they had found monuments of stones erected byI the surveyor of 1907 to locate the boundaries of the grant. The special agent for the United States Govern ment, MT. Flipper, visited one of thes alleged original monuments and counted fourteen similar piles of stones within radius of POO yards. In view of every one of the monuments pointed out by the claimants as the boundary marks of the grant were similar piles.
 Anyone who has been in the coun- try" said MT. Flipper, Knows that this monument building of loose stones is favorite practice of the Indians. On every high point there are to be seen to-day heaps of stones put there by the Indians"
 But the question of the validity of 
 the grant, when it came to be heard , before the Court of Private Land , Claims, did not turn on the lost . boundaries, In the permit which the Governor of Sonora gave the Indians . to use the lands was condition that z if they abandoned possession for three I years the grant would re- vert to the government. In 1920 the ( mission was completely destroyed by f the Apaches. The lands remained un- . occupied until 1851. At that time q three or four Germans made an att o tempt to colonize the place under the V V of Mexicans who claimed h ownership. h In lS42 the Mexican Congress enact k sd a law ordering the sale of all of the rc of the church. The t; were the lands of the " nonastic orders, which had been sur m pressed in Mexico by act of the Cortes a. n 1920. The Indian mission lands b, were not temporalities, and when h. SC Han possession had ceased three years ti hey were restored to public domain CT 'f the nation. But, in ls44, two years m fter the order for the sale of tempo IT alities, the State of Sonora treated st his grant as such and sold it.

That's What an Advertiser Does by Using
Tho STANDARD"
"From Montana a reader of Printers
Ink writes to inquire about q plan for ad-
vertising retail coal business. The best
way to advertise a business is to advertise
it. That means-tcll people about it.
That means-use newspaper space and
circulars and dodgers and street car
space, and everything else that you think
people will see. This particular coal
business is not yet started. 1t will be a
new thing to the people, and as such will
require more advertising at first than it
will after a while. The advertising that is
done at first is merely foundation upon
which the superstructure of future busi-
ness is to be built.
The best generalrule know of in adj
vertising "anything, anything, any time"
is to use the newspapers as far as they
will go. If there is some territory that
they do not reach, or do not cover, take
up'something else. Use whatever is nee
essary to reach that territory, but do not
skimp your newspaper space to do it. I
would rather a small territory thoroughly
covered than a big one merely SKINNED
over. would rather be perfectly sure
that all of the readers of one good paper
knew all about me and my business than
to take such q small ad in three or four
papers that only sprinkling of the read
ers of each would be aware Of my exist
ence.
In recent advertisement of Printers
Ink Wolstan Dixey made use of a very apt
simile which bears on this subject. He
said "Bunch your hits" If a baseball
team makes nine hits. one in each inning
of the game. they may not score single
run, but if they will bunch the nine hits
all in one inning it will be the hardest
kind Of hard work to keep them from scor-
ing two or three runs. If you sprinkle a
lot Of one-inch ads over a dozen papers
you will not hit anybody very hard. Ii
you put 12-inch ad in one paper there
will be few people at least who will find
out all about you.-From Printers Ink

MIssoULA, April 6.-The territory COM
monty included I'm the term, Western
Montana. embraces the counties OF
Granite, Missoula, Flathead and Ravalli.
a region which is an empire in itself. The
resources of this section are practically
without limit. Here are found the pre-
cious metals in practically inexhaustible
quantities. The placer miner. and the
quartz miner alike find rich returns for
their labors in the gravelly bars OF the
streams, the narrow gulches and the
rocky mountain heights. Here, too, are
broad reaches of grazing land. where
feed horses and cattle that are excelled
by none in the world. The horses of this
section have won laurels in contests of
worldwide ia me and the cattle that are
shipped from these valleys are in demand
in the great markets. In the fertile va!-
ieys of Western Montana, agriculture
finds its highest development. The hay
and grain of these valleys received the
highest award in the competition at the
Columbian exposition. The vegetables
and fruits of these productive slopes are
not surpassed by those of any other
region. Upon the broad hillsides. lofty
pines and frs contribute 10 the timber
supply of the state and assist in accom-
plishing the prosperity of Montana. 1t is
an empire of natural wealth that foI
richness and diversity of resources cannot
be matched.
