Hank Letter came up from Needles
a few days ago and is visiting with
friends in Kingman. He reports that
the solar engine is an entire success.
The smaller engine is working stead
lily handling large centrifugal pump.
A new set of valves will have to be
put in the larger engine and then it is
expected it will run as smoothly as the
smaller one The pressure on the
piston ranges from 40 to $50 pounds
and gives the same power as steam
power under the same conditions.
When it has been thoroughly tried
out the engine will be put on the mar
ket. 1t will be an immense advantage
over the present generation of power
for all purposes, as it is almost the
same as perpetual motion. The gas
is generated from sulphur dioxide,
and in the daily run of the engine the
loss is imperceptible.

A few evenings ago Capt. Casper
Taylor was telling party of friends
of a narrow escape he had from losing
his scalp, while making a stage trip
between Rincon, N. NJ. and Silver
City. 1t was in 1881 when the blood
thirsty Apache was ravaging southern
New Mexico and Arizona. He had
missed connection, by fortunate ac-
cident, with the stage which proceed
ed the day before, and this stage had
been ambushed and the driver and all
on board killed. The Captain de-
scribed in detail how the heavily
armed party he was with made the
uncertain trip, expecting every mo-
ment to hear the blood-curdling yells
and swish of the poisoned arrows of
the red demons. Among his auditors
was County Treasurer Foster S. Den
mis-. AS he proceeded with his tale,
Mr.. Dennis began to recognize famil-
lar scenes and incidents, and when
Capt. Taylor described a belted and
booted mining man, armed to the
teeth, who was Drawing the dangers to
visit some placer fields in Arizona,
Mr.. Dennis dramatically made himself
known as that one of the party in that
memorable ride. 1t was a pleasant
reunion. Although they had been
intimately associated in Kingman for
the past ten years, neither had recog-
nized in the other his companion in
those old Apache days.

VIII ats the Matter With the
Renter?
Renter?

A correspondent of the Fruit Grow
err of St Joseph, Mo-, writes an ar
ticle which we think will interest
many who are not renters, but who
own the land which they are farming.
Perhaps, after reading it you may
think that it belongs in the poultry
department, but as it refers to cows
and other stock, we give it place
here. Moreover it ought to be read by
some who would not see it in the
poultry department.
When 1 got married some thirty
years ago and started out on my own
hook, 1 did just what thousands of
others do every year, or 1 might say
what they must do. 1 rented farm,
bought tools, implements and teams
on time and started in with a strong
heart and arm. After two years of
hard work we gathered up the paid
for and partly paid for stuff and
made a sale. Came out ahead only a
few dollars for two years. hard work.
Then 1 went to railroading and have
ly thirty years in which to figure
out why 1 did not come out better On
the farm. 1 think have it figured
The trouble with me then, and with
many renters right now, was that
had my investments i'm things that
were decreasing in value. In most in
stances l was paying interest on
things that were decreasing, burning
the candle at both ends, as it were
For instance, 1 was paying interest on
money invested in horses, machinery
and other things that were getting less
valuable all the time 1t took the
proceeds from my labor to keep I'D
the losses.
Like many others did then, and do
yet, l depended on selling the raw
product. The grain and hay was
marketed, the live stock consisted of
horses principally, and except their
feed. all grain was marketed.
After nearly thirty years of medi-
tatiOn | have come to this conclusion:
Renters farm too much land. go in
debt too much and do not keen
enough profitable stock. Surplus
work horses do not produce, even
those that are used, beyond the labor
are poor investments. A yard full OF
machinery does not produce beyond
a few weeks use.
If l were going to try it over ]
would be a crank on producing. Ev-
erything would have to gain in value

or add to itself in some way. My
team would be breed mares, would
try to shift my little investments to-
wards buying good COW and more
of them as fast as l could. The
premises would be adorned with some
good breed sows and / would help the
other half out with the hen business.
Yes. l would have to have a wagon
and some implements, that's true, but
| would make one wagon do, and
when | bought implements, would
need them first After getting these
things would go to little more ex-
pense and keep them under cover.
Would try to make them last ten
years instead of three or four.
1 have it figured that renters on
the average have from 81 900 to $1,000
tied up in poor investments, and that
i'm most instances it takes his entire
earnings to keep up the losses or
shrinkage in values. Also that insO-
much as he depends on selling grain
for the income, his pay days are too
far apart. He spends what it comes
to before he gets it, or in other words,
after all, he gets no money to spend
as he wishes.
Looking through a combination of
front sights and hind sights, my ad-
vice to any young man would be to
keep his investments in things that
produce or increase in value, just as
much as it is possible to do so.

The Land Question in Virginia.

A year or more ago we published
two or more articles about the Tor
rens system of registering land titles.
We have just found, in the Southern
Planter, long article on the subject.
1t explains the method of establishing
a title and gives the reasons for ad-
Opting the system. We hope that our
readers, and the press of the state,
will use their influence to have the
next legislature pass law making the
Torrens system the legal method of
transferring land titles in Florida.
The State claims to be the owner
the original and ultimate owner-of
all her lands This ownership first
appears in her land grants, and is
now found i'm the exercise of the
right of eminent domain, of escheats
and in the levying of taxes.
Claiming and exercising these or
iginaI rights and sovereign powers,
it is the duty of the State to grant
good titles to her citizens and enable
them to keep their titles good under
the lust administration of equitable
laws.
This plain duty has never hereto
fore been performed by the State and
the time has now come when she
must meet her high obligation.
In 1900 there were 1O3,SO6 male
citizens of the Commonwealth asses
sed for taxes on real estate, valued,
i'm each instance, at not less than
100000. These citizens represent the
thrift and intelligence of the Common
wealth. and their rights must be re-
spected by our law makers.
The real estate of Virginia is as
sessed at 343 "a millions, or nearly
three times as much as all the person.
al property returns for taxation in
the State.
You can sell your personal property
or borrow money on it quickly and at
| little expense. You do not have to
employ lawyer to examine the title
| to your horse or COW, to your oats and
hay, nor to your stock and bonds.
If you try to sell your land or Dor
row money on it, the first question is:
Have you a good title?
| No one will buy or lend you money
without being satisfied about your
title 1t must be examined by lawyer,
and you have to pay the bill.
1t does not matter how often the
