AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.
Deed of Sidon Harris to Chas. Wolff
Is Nothing But a Windy
No Title.

A few people have been some
what worried because of the deed
recently filed here from Sidon
Harris to Chas. Wolff, pretending
to convey title to much property
in the city of San Angelo proper
lying east of the North Concht
river. Harris is u well known
land shark of Austin, and this
trick is one of his favorite meth
DDS of replenishing his exchequer.
He worked the same sort of deal
in Concho county n few years ago,
but before the suits came to a
hearing he compromised rs many
of them as possible, securing
amounts ranging from SO to 500
from different individuals, ac-
cording to their varying gullibili-
ty He is now seeking to play
the same game at the expense of
San Angelo property owners, but
county officials who are thorough
ly familiar with the records say
that he has no shadow of title to
any part of the property claimed,
and that the owners need not feel
the slightest uneasinsss concern
ing the outcome.
One or two proposed real estate
deals, it is learned, have been in
terfered with and postponed be-
cause of this matter. 1t Is al
exceedingly ugly piece of bust
ness, and Harris standing in the
estimation of San Angelo people
is by no means enhanced by such
methods. Much unnecessary noise
has been made over this little
scheme of Mr.. Harris. One of
San Angeles papers made u lead
ing news item of it and an ambi-
tious would-be correspondent for
daily papers scattered it broad
cast over the state. 1t has done
much more harm, possibly, than is
or ever will be known and the
practice of sending such stuff
abroad as news should be discon.
tinued. San Angeles old time
news correspondents said nothing
1T was up to II newcomer and u
young man, who doubtless has his
heart set OH ieniting the universe

DeIusion and q Snare.

The indications are that the
Northwest provinces of the Do
minion of Canada have been over
doomed bit, and that res on
is at hand, says the Drovers Aele-
gram. Certain it is that as a cat
tleman's paradise the Alberta
country has not panned out. In
spite of the flatteripg inducements
offered by the Canadian Govern
ment to cattlemen of the South
west to move their herds to the
Northwest provinces, but few cat
tie were moved, and most of these
have been brought back to the
United States or closed out. The
Canadian Northwest was, a couple
of years ago, touted as country
with an abundance of free grass,
plenty of water, and an ideal eli
mate The grass was there, all
right. but the climate appears to
have been misrepresented some
what, judging from the stories of
the cowmen who have returned
from the promised land. 1t is
noticeable that most of them have
settled down to stock growing in
the Southwest again and appear
to be perfectly satisfied to remain
there, The severity of the climate
and the lack of a market are two
great drawbacks to the Canadian
Northwest as stock growing
country. Stock can be grown
there all right when shelter can
be provided for it, and feed fur
nished when the ground is cover
ed several feet deep with snow.
But under present conditions it is
impractical to house large herds
of cattle there. The hindrance
incident to the lack of q market
may in time be removed, but
there is no probability that the
climate can be remodeled.
But the cattlemen are not the
only ones who are dissatisfied
with their experience IN that
country. Thousands of settlers,
attracted by the glowing descrip-
tions o: the country sent broad
cast by the Canadian Govern
ment, flocked to the Canadian
Northwest. They were promised

Selection of an Orchard site.

'As the planting season draws nigh
many will doubtless be considering tho
selection of site for the young or
chard. In doing So" says the Farmer
and Stocltman, two factors should be
kept in mind: First, to provide soil
drainage; second, air drainage. We
are all more or less familiar with the
necessity of good soil drainage and
appreciate It's Importance after the pre-
vailing wet seasons of the two past
years. An equally important factor
and one that Is likely to be overlooked
Is that Of air drainage.
"Whero there Is any choice as to To-
cation, an orchard should always be
placed where there is good natural
drainage. We emphasize the necessi-
ty of natural drainage, because poor
soil drainage may be corrected by the
use OF tile, but there is no artificial
means Of correcting poor air drainage.
Air drainage Is important in protect
Ing against late spring frosts. II Is
common observation that frost oC-
curs more frequently in low places, and
often the higher spots escape entirely.
Cold air, being heavier than warm,
naturally sinks TO the low places.
~ moist atmosphere Is an essential
condition to the growth of fungi and
bacterial diseases.

gous foes to begin with than to depend
