FOUND BOOKS O. X.
County Treasurers Office in Good Shape
Says Stafford.

C. V. Stafford, territorial auditor, was in
town the first of the week, checking up
the books of William Mcintosh, treasurer
of Torrance county. He found the books
in SPLENDID shape and every penny
accounted for. Deputy Jesus Garcia has
collected $II,7oo in taxes thus far and will
succeed in bringing up quite a bit of the
delinquent part.
Mr.. Stafford spoke in the highest
praise of the manner in which the affairs
of the office are carried on, and says that
Torrance County finances will be in first
class shape in very short time.
The treasurer has credited his commits
sion account with four per cent. cf the
school funds received from Valencia coun-
ty when our county was segregated from
that. This question the commiss toner's will
be called upon to investigate and will
probably call for decision from the dis.
trct attorney. The treasurer of Valencia
county has already taken his four per
cent. for collecting, and it hardly seems
just to the schools to allow another COM
mission to be taken when the money was
simply turned over from one treasurer to
another.

THE SEEDLESS APPLE
Has Many Redsemins Qualities. Destined to
Be Great Success.

FernaPS the most interesting 1rult pro
position that vel have bumped into in
horticultural way is the se:dless apple. 1t
is matter of record that the seedess
apple has been known for a couple of CEN
turies, yet no one has ever taken the
trouble to propagate the species or devel-
ope it until within the last few years when
j. F. Spencer of Grand junction began ex
permenting with the apple. BY cultiva-
ton and skillful propagation he has devel-
oped very good looking and tasting apple.
Mr.. Spencer of his own accord would new
er have tried to create great money maxi
ing proposition from the result of his ex-
pertinent, but other parties who saw the
possibilities took up the matter and to-day
these parties stand in way to make a
barrel of money.
During the past couple of years the war;
ious syndicate papers have taken the mat.
ter up and have given the Spencer Seed.
less Apple people a considerable black
eye. Of course these papers are not to
blame for this as they are paid for pub
fishing the articles, by whom we would
not attempt to say. Other papers in their
turn took up these articles and copied
them and by so doing they caused the
Spencer people no end of trouble The COM
pany was somewhat to blame for this and
the cross fire that they received was not
altogether undeserved. For instance they
got man to write their prospectus who
was foolish enough to say "that because
the apple had no seeds the codlng moth
would not attack it." 1t is to the credit
of some of the directors that they fought
this all through even though their opposi-
ton was not sufficient to keep this part
the question out of the prospectus. At any
rate it was an extremely bad break to
make. Of course this matter is stricken
from all advertising matter used by these
people now.
There are some points about the Spen-
Ger Seedless Apple that are meritorious.
In size it is about the same as standard
Jonathan. In color it favors the Rome
Beauty and has much the same taste.
Although the years of existence of The
Spencer Seedless apple are few, yet it has
been shown that they are good keepers
BY the progress made thus far in pro.
this apple it has been demon.
Strated that it can be improved and we
believe that the various varieties
can be produced without seeds. A great
many people question the above feature,
but this is not significant when we con-
slider that people have been questioning
since the beginning of the world. People
questioned the seedEss orange proposition
yet it has revolutionized the orange busi-
ness. People question the ability of the
great Burbank, THE Plant Wizard" as
he is called, and to day he has the world
this feet and enjoys pension from the
United States Government for the SER
vice he has been to mankind. People
question the telegraph and the telephone,
yet we have them both in grand systems.
So say that people have questioned the
Spencer Apple apple and ask-what ad-

Every time the legislature meets at

nothing has ever been done to stop
their criminal practices, except occa-

NEW DIFFICULTIES IN cuba.

The patriotic professions of a multi
tude OF the Cuban revolutionists have
not been strong enough to survive the
test of the few weeks since Secretary
Taft left the island, and the reports
now coming in represent Governor
Magoon to be struggling against ire
mendous pressure from them for the
oflces. It is indeed feared that af-
fairs are approaching a crisis, so angry
and passionate is the demand that the
oflceholders under the defunct Palma
government be summarily ousted to
make room for partisans of the chiefs
who lately took up arms
1t is turning out discouragingly diff
ficult to impress the natives with the
Idea that the United States has as
sumed control, not to help one Cuban
faction or another nor to peddle Of
fetal patronage. but to establish a
stable and safe government capable Of
protecting property and life and per-
forming the obligations which rest
upon every civilized government. In
stead of the cooperation which the
United States should have from, the
natives and which it must have il
such a government is to be set up at
all on the basis of independently, fac
tional spirit, eager for possession of
the official plum tree, is already run
ming so high in the various provinces
that further precautionary disposition
OF our military forces has now been
deemed necessary. Not only this, but
the luminosity directed against the
Palma regime is beginning to show
itself against Governor Magoon.
One Of the most unfortunate facts
is the failure so far of the conservative
classes, who mainly stood aloof during
the instruction, to come forward as
they should and aid in reorganization
Of the government. Many of these
are represented as insisting on the flu
tility of the effort for native indie
pendence and are really, disposed to
stimulate the folly that is being shown
as a proof of the necessity of annexa-
ton to the United States. Out of it
all the suspicion is warranted and
growing that the rehabilitation of in
dependent Cuban rule may be a slower
and more dificult process than was
at first generally expected.

Successful Climb of the New President
OF the Illinois Central.

James T. Harahan on Wednesday was
made the executive head Of the Illinois
Central railway system. With the con-
troversies that resulted in his selection or
with the financial politics which brought

that is considered here Is the commentary
afforded on the common assertion that the
poor boy has no chance
James T. Harahan entered the railway
service forty-two years ago as a section
banda laborer-On a petty railroad in
Virginia. He was just one Of many thou
sands-a lad Of 4 without Influence" OF

hands and shrewd brain. He drifted about
from one minor post TO another through
eight years of apprenticeship. In 1872 he
was made a roadmaster and began 10
climb In 1879 he was a division superin-
tendent, and in 1884 was made general
manager Of a southern railway.
Here he found his ideas in conflict with
those OF superior authority, and Tor sew
eral years he went from one railway to
another without finding the post that
fitted him. Finally he found IL with a
southern railway whose future consisted
chiefly In hopes. In less than a year he
made that railway such power in the
land that the Illinois Central was glad

owners made fortunes by the transaction.

made himself. And he made" himself
by seeing and seizing the opportunities
which lay open before him. and which al
every stage Of his career. up to the present
one, were no wider open for him than for
others.
And Mr.. Harahan's career Is only one
Of hundreds and thousands OF such careers
in the past ana OF thousands and tens OF
thousaids OF careers which are being sue
cessfully pursued today. AS far as mere
wealth ana power and the power that
