The Torrens Law. - Under a new
law OF 1902 there was new order
came 10 permitting the registration
OF titles and making the county CLERK,
by virtue Of his office, Registrar of
titles The clerk is required to hand
out Il certificate OF title to everyone
who files with him deed upon regis
tered land. This law has made new
qualifications for every couaty clerk
aud he should be able to pass upon
the legality Of every transfer to real
property aud the titles thereto.
We submit the proposition that
there ia no other man In Weld county
wdo is so we'll qualified to pass upon
titles as W. r. Adams. He is the
man who wIote up the only set Of ab-
stract books in Weld county in use
today and ran them six years. They
are tile best set IN Colorado and any
substantial lawyer In Greeley today,
il fair, can ouly say Adams is an ex-
pert abstract man. 1t has often been
said that Adams is handy man In
public office as he is good man to
consult on most anything.
During the Two years and eight
aud one half months he has been the
incumbent OF the office he has made
the taxpayers 81, 956.3 80 which is sur
plus revenue over his office expenses
aud salary, and is turned over to the
taxpayers general fund, and saves
them being taxed just that much,
and he has made this sum out of
$22, 074. 10 Office receipts. In eight
years time his predecessors out Of
$50, 5000 turned over surplus OF
81, 1865. These figures are absolute
ly correct and made up under oath
and are part OF the county records.
So the record on October lst stands,
that besides the enormous amount OF
extra work Adams has done in build
4o6 oP tuO oHiOCS iC uh6 CdluCu Iu6
taxpayers 10 two years and eight and
! one-half months s2,17s.44 more than
his predecessors did In eight years.
When Adams let out some Of his po-
litical help, because 1t wAs costing
the taxpayers at least 5000 a year
extra. he incurred the enmity of the
boss Of his party In Weld county who
said man was not expected to be
economical 10 public Affairs, and it
was then that Adams lost favor with
the commander In chief located In
Denver and who bosses the boss of
Weld county politics and who owns
the South Platte river in Weld
county, and they agreed that Adams
must be cut out from that time hence
and forevermore.
But Adams stood pat and brought
the clerks Office to his own business

Taxpayers results. Tho old sutstan.

when he was chairman OF the Repnb-
lican central comMiteee he refused to
cut out the old line committeeman
of the precincts and put the working
OF the party In the hands OF the young
men whom the boss said he could
control by reason OF their newness In
the country and immature judgment.
Adams said no. the Judgment OF
the older. mature men is better.
Adams knew he was right and as he
Is not a political trimmer or moral
coward, he stood alone, and when the
delegations came In to the Repuhli-
can convention he told many OF them
that his case was hopeless, but his
name would 60 before the convention
to pe turned down ror the eject 1t
would have against the machine.
He knew he was backed by the
old time Republicans and business
men Of Greeley and that to encourage
such business policy as he has In
auRurated the taxpayers OF all parties
must support him. as to turn down
his work is to encourage graft and
shiftlessness. The republicans placed
him on an independent ticket called
the "Citizens'' ticket and told him
that IL the democratic convention en-
dorsed him to not decline, they would
see that be was elected, He is be-
fore the people and will be elected.
The democratic party has recognized
the merits Of his work and knows it
can only succeed by supporting men
who give the taxpayers such results.
The greatest curse Colorado has to-
day is the lack OF such men as County
Clerk Adams. II every county and
state officer gave such results as he
there would be revolution worked

Every county officer SHOULD be free
to employ the help he thinks will

Stock raising was the chief industry

the immense herds OF cattle that
ranged from the Republican river to
the foothills OF the Rockies. 1t was
q profitable business for them. but
many an owner of small herd was
forced into bankruptcy by the raids
Of the rustlers. Ed Clark was elect
ed sheriff OF Weld county In 1893 and
one OF his ablest deputies was Jack
Elliott. At that time AL Cochran
was chief OF a hand OF rustIers. He
was q colo biooded man, dead shot,

ment, until finally ne thought he
was more powerful than the law
and there is where he met defeat.
The summer of 1898 Paul Rose, an
industrious Swede who resided in
eastern Weld county, was murdered
and his herd Of about 200 head OF
cattle driven away. Suspicion pointed
to Cochran, and Sheriff Clark, who
was attending sheritf's national
convention in Denver, wired Jack
Elliott to take charge of the matter
and look up Cochran. Jack, with
Dave Ayres, of Sterling, was soon in
the saddle, and after days OF search
and travel through the sandhills OF
northern Colorado, struck trail
that eventually brought him face to
face with Cochran, and with the des-
perado was Paul Roses herd. The
space given this article will not ad-

Cochran it was ten to one that either
Elliott or Ayres would be shot II not
killed, and only through mistaken
idea OF the rustler did he refrain
from using his deadly winchester.
This capture broke up lawlessness In
Weld county, and since that time 1T
has been as safe for men to turn their
stock out on the range as to hold
them in corral or pasture. At the
death of brave Ed Clark, the fall OF
1898, Jack Elliott was nominated for
that office and elected to fill the un-
expired term by the combined votes
OF silver republicans. populists and
democrats. So well were the tax
payers satisfied with his official con-

The tonka, tonquin, or couma-
roums beans of commerce are the
seeds of the South American tree
dipterix oderata. When fresh these
are exceedingly fragrant, having an
intense odor of newly made hay. This
tree botanically is of considerable in
terest, as it is one of small genus
OF eight or ten species, all of which
are large forest trees of Brazil, Gui-
ana and the Mosquito Coast. If you
could obtain new seeds from South
America without the outer covering
being broken It is probable that these
seeds would grow. In commerce, for
the convenience of carrying, the
seeds, which are the only part valu-
able for export, are taken from the
pods and dried thoroughly before ship
ping. AS the plant which bears the
tonka beans is a forest tree running
up to an average height of 60 feet it
is probable that the beans would not
be produced until the plants had at
tanned considerable age. II is stated
that when tonka bean plants are
cnce started that they are easily pro-
pagated from ripened cuttings planted
In sand. They must be kept in moist

By taking down your shed and
building it along one side of your barn
you would then have handy barn,
both in the basement and above. You
could store the most of your straw at
threshing time without stacking it, and
would have abundance of room in the
stable, which could be laid out to good
advantage.

60 feet. The basement consists of a
