TAYLOR SECURED THE
 POOR FARM LAND
THE SUPERVISOR SOUGHT INTER. VIEW WITH COL. GREENE
 ABOUT LAND DESIRED.

Supervisor c. A. Taylor returned yesterday afternon from the county seat, where he went yesterday on busi- ness. Mir. Taylor was very much elat- ed over the interview with Col. Greene yesterday morning while he travelled betwen Douglas and Naco. The state ment published yesterday about Coi, Greene having previously intimated that he would give land to the county for a poor farm and hospital was in- correct and the misunderstanding grew out of a remark made by Supervisor Taylor sometime ago that he believed the lazd could be secured from Colonel Greene as a gift Since then MT. Tay- Tor had tried at three different times to get an interview with the colonel in regard to the land desired by the county.
 On a recent trip of the board of su- pervisors to Hereford to examine the new bridge being built across the San Pedro river at that point it was re marked that if land could be secured in that vicinity that the location would be an admirable one. It was for the purpose of finding out if it was possi- .ble to get land from the possessions of Col. Greene that Mir. Taylor sought the interview with Col. Greene yesterday. Mir Taylor had never met the copper magnate before and after introducing himself was invited into the private ear "Ahumada." llr. Taylor stated that he desired to find out if it would be possible to secure a site for the poor farm and hospital in the vicinity of Hereford. and Col Greene named three ranches which he owned a short distance above Hereford and stated that the county could have either of the three, or any other land in that vicinity which he owned. MT. Taylor was told that Frank Moson would show the supervisors what land be longed to Greene in the Hereford coun. try and that after the selection was made he would deed eighty acres Of the land to the county, and when ask ed what the county would have to pay for the land the colonel replied that he would be pleased to make the eoun- ty a present of the land desired. This is the substance of the interview which was brought to an end by the arrival of the train at Naco. Supervisor Fay Tor told Col. Greene that he was known far and wide as a good fellow and that now he (Taylor) was ready to swear that he was the prince of good fellows"
 Fifteen TSousand fer Buildings.
 Supervisor Taylor stated this morn ing that it was the intention of the board of supervisors to erect buildings on the rocr farm. to be used by the indigent of the county and as hospi tai, to cost fifteen thousand and he thought the work would very soon be under way now that the land had beer secured. The buildings will be so plan ned that the hospital will be separate from the indigent quarters.
 The giving of the site for the pool farm will be a great saving to th' county. A farm had been selected il the vicinity of Benson. but in addition to the price of the land the count, would have been compelled to bridg' the San Pedro river to make it con veniently available at all times. Tn hospital expense and the care of indi gents of the county under the presen arrangements is a very heavy item O expense in the total cost of maintain ing the county. With a farm, compos ed of fertile land, it is expected tha the inmates of the poor house will many of them, be able to do consider able work in the raising of vegetable and other farm products and thus be come in a measure self supporting
