PlaIne together. The officers were put
on their track, and yesterday found them

When Shirley, who is only nineteen
years old, realized the predicament he
was in, he attempted to Kill himself. He

pany Gov. Mcbride declares the COM

railroads is dangerous because of the
insecurity of individuals making it up.
Such community, he said, stifled compe-

this state against railroads. The gov

point a railroad commission for the pro-

j. C. Stubbs, traffic manager of the

followed Mr.. Miller. Mr.. Stubbs stated
that E. Fl. Hartman was chairman of
the board of directors of both roads, but
that he was appealed to only in extra
ordinary cases. Mr. Stubbs said no such
case had arisen since his appointment
and that he had proceeded under his gen
eral instructions from Mr.. Hartman. He
said rates generally had been fairly well
maintained, but that there had been de-
moralization in Colorado and Utah. He
declared that the Southern Pacific and

petitors.

Southern Pacific. He declared that this
control could have no effect on rates ow-

Further questioning by Commissioners
Prouty and Clements merely served to

Mr.. Hill gave an estimate of the hold

in the Northern Pacific and Great North

Commissioner Clement: 'What does your
plan contemplate shall be the stock OF
the Burlington, in whatever name 1t
stands, whether in the name of railway
company or an individual?'
That would depend upon its extensions
and the amount of money it would need
to pay off the bonds at the end Of five
years, which it had the right to do-say

Then, IN organizing this new Buring-

And whatever stock it has issued it

THAT is right
''And the plan is to increase its stock
only as occasion may require and sell
that stock at par for cash?''
THAT is right
''The cash to be used either in retiring
the bonds or in extending the system, or
for other legitimate purposes?'
That's right
But in any event, whatever the capital
stock of this new Burlington company

lent of just SO much money actually paid

ToRReNs LAND TRANSFER SYSTEM.

Writing Of the Torrens land
transfer system, in the Houston
Post, Marshall Burney Of Amphion,
Texas, says:
"The man, or men, who can get
up a public interest in this matter
and push it TO a successful conc'u'
sion by having e~sf.Ited on the
statutes of 'D.s state a law that
would simplify the present method
of real estate transfers, would build
for himself or themselves a monu-
ment greater and more enduring
than marble.
"If memory serves me right (for
the journals are not at hand there
was a bill on this subject intro.
duced in both houses Of the Twenty
fifth legislature-in the house by
Col. n. II. Tracy Of Milan county,
and in the senate by Senator A. B.
Kerr of Flatonia, now Of San An
tonic, Texas.
"My recollection is that the bill
was reported favorably in both
houses and like many meritorious
measures in such sessions died
upon the speakers table, more for
the want of popular demand be.
hind it than for the want of merit.
with that Legislative effort the
movement lapsed in Texas. Ger
tainly both of these gentlemen
should be willing to join a move
ment whose object is to advance
intelligence upon a subject which

cialism, is very stale and common.
place, yet it will do to stand by,
and, like the great rock of Gibral-
tar, will survive the the wreck of
parties, systems, theories, dynas-
ties and nations"
The Torrens land transfer sys-
tenn, in the states where it is in
operation in this country, provides
a means by which the land owner
can get his land registered, after
necessary proceedings, and after
registration his title cannot be dis
tu.bed. To transfer it, no abstract
Of title is necessary, hence, no ex.
pense is necessary beyond a very
small fee, and the man who buys
registered land gets an unassaila-
BILE title. To take advantage of II
is entirely optional, so it is not a
thing to be foisted upon anybody
who does not want it, while those
who wish TO avail themselves of 1t

IF once a great popular interest
in a subject like this could be

there is not great popular demand

zone recent illustration Of the
necessity of some simpler, safer,
less expensive and less complex
method Of conveyancing will be
given. This case came recently
under my own observation and is
perhaps one of thousand daily
occurrences throughout this great
republic Of free and independent
states. But to the incident: A
very poor, but honest and hard
working, citizen owned little
place in a distant town near the
coast and moved further north and
into the interior for the health of
his famil y-and to get nearer the
bustling, busy marts in order that
he might the better utilize his labor
his only capital-for the purpose
of supporting himself and those
dependent upon him. But, be that
as il may, he chose to change his
location-and, be the cause what
It may, be was poverty-stricken.
He had an opportunity to trade the
home he had left for one in a
higher altitude and a less humid
atmosphere. The trade was con.
summated and all the preparations
made for a transfer of the property
but, lol the other party demanded
a complete abstract Of title. The
poor fellow consulted the "abstract
men," and had an abstract pre-.
pared that was entirely satisfactory
to the other party to the trade, but
the abstractors demanded a fee of
SlS. OF course, the trade failed,
for he could not raise the money to
pay it, and to show the enormity
of it, the abstract fee" demanded
amounted to more than per cent.
Of the amount involved.
"If for no other reason than that
embraced in the sentiment con.

tai Henry George, my voice would |
be raised in advocacy of a reform
IN this direction, so that men could
