TAX DEED Law VALID.
Counties May Sell Property and Give
Good Deeds. "a

1 .IH r 4
The law authorizing counties Il
dispose Of and give good deed t
property sold for taxes and not re
deemed within the statutory limits II
held valid by the supreme court in
the suit Of Mary E. Baker against the
commissioners Of Atchison county.
Mrs. Baker owned some land in
Atchison county upon which she
failed to pay taxes. The county
finally sold the land in order to re-
cover the taxes due and Mrs. Baker
sued to recover the property. The
supreme court held that the sale by
the com missioners was valid and that
the title to the property could not be
questioned.
In its opinion the court says:
"Chapter Ss2 of the laws Of 1901,
authorizing the judicial sale Of lands
bid in by counties at tax sale and not
redeemed or assigned for three and
one.fourth years, is not unconstitu-
tional by reason Of vesting in tie
board OF county commissioners dis
erection to determine what lands shall
be offered for sale under it and when
they shall be so offered"
This decision is OF great Importance
as it affects great deal of property
in this county. 1t enables counties
TO dispose Of land and realize ON the
long past due taxes. 1t enables per.
sons to buy land from the counties
with the knowledge that. the deed
hey are receiving is good one.
The county commissioners OF this
county in 1898 adopted resolution,
lnder the law, authorizing the treas
Irer to bid in thu delinquent tax land I
or the county and has since been '
living tax deeds to hundreds of pieces I
I land. 1t will be welcome news 10 '
hese purchasers to know that they
re valid. .

he states that on the 8th inst. large

gathering was soon dispersed by

view the Work of Past Year.
Omaha, Neb., Nov 1.-THE Gen
eral Missionary Committee of the M
E. Church, North met in Omaha to-
day to review the work of the last
year and to discuss plans for the
future The committee is composed
of the bishops of the church, the of
ficers of the Missionary society, and
fourteen representatives each of the
general conference and the board of
managers of the missionary society.
Reports to be presented to the
meeting show the past year to have
been the most successful. financially,
through which the society has pass
ed since it's organization in 1928.
The increase in missionary contribu-
tions the past year over those of the
previous year was more than $780,
OOO a showing that is regarded as
remarkable, in view of the fact that
the receipts of the last fiscal year
were $4,000 ahead of those of two
years ago. The increases of the past
few years are credited to the educa-
tional policy of the society, which
systematically aims to interest all
Methodists in the mission cause. and
also to the work of the open door
emergency commission, which led in
the forward movement for missions.

ficer Makes a Report.
San Antonio. Tex, Nov. 11.-Dr.
G. b. Taber. the state health oficer.
has made the following report on
the yellow fever conditions in Texas:
The Report.
The actual conditions In Texas
is as follows: There are about TOO
cases with 60 deaths in Laredo; IS
cases and deaths at San Antonio
for seven days. There are five cases
and two deaths in Dewitt county.
These are the only places infected
in Texas. and it is a true statement
of existing conditions. Two frosts
have fallen in Bexar and Dewitt
counties which makes conditions
most favorable in those counties.
There are no farther cases in
Dewitt county. All the cases there
are confined to one house with no
other house nearer than a mile. The
disease is practically ended there.
Laredo is well ouarantined. There
is no danger whatever OF people
coming to Texas as our quarantine
will amply protect oil sections OF the
state. In a few days will be able
to give San Antonio a clean bill OF
health. The state and federal gov
ernment are cooperating at Laredo
and it is hoped that the infection
will soon be exterminated there.

w. d. Mathews, manager Of the
New York Life Insurance Co. for the
Ell Paso branch. has been in the city
for several days, and naturally is
enthusiastic on what he calls "tha
prettiest, most infatuating and most
promising community on earth" He
says if he ever becomes a farmer it
will be an irrigated" one. "You not
only have the use of the living
streams to ditch from. but land so
laid out by nature as to run water
every way-almost uphill" said Mr.
Mathews, "but you have an artesian
belt that beats anything l have ever
seen, and all you have to do is to
build a hole down towards China,
and old Dame Nature does the rest
by spouting the water up from the
lake of uncomputed size and keeps
it a-spouting for all time, affording
water for irrigation of unknown
quantities. l have looked at these
wells in admiration. in amazement,
and pictured the possibilities in

Mr. Mathews is an old newspaper
man, and so we pardon him, for
when one of these kind of fellows
sees a good thing they know it, and
it is in 'em to tell it to Others. for
they are not at all selfish The RE-
CORD has been saying these things
for a long time. and knows of their
truth, but when outsiders voice it's
sentiments it feels good. of course.
Mr. Mathews has driven all over
the country hereabouts. and says
that while the general local public
may think the real estate men sharks
they will later be considered bene-
factors, for real estate will advance
so rapidly that the present prices
will look like fifteen cents in Mexi--
can money as compared to good old
American gold.
