Tax Titles and Their Complications.

\ few days ago, a Seattle lawyer who
happened to be in Olympia, remarked
that in King county, parties who had
lost their property to the county by
reason of tax foreclosure proceedings,
wishing to make it difficult and ex-
pensive for purchasers at county sales
to institute actions to quiet title, in
order to cut off equities, conveyed the
land in parcels to different grantees,
This course will make necessary a
separate action to quiet title, as re-
CARDS each tract OF land or subdivision
involved.
To illustrate, let us suppose Mr..
Brown buys Il whole block, consisting
of twelve lots, at county sale; the
former owner, Mr.. Snodgrass, conveys
these twelve lots to twelve different
grantees. Brown, the purchaser, if he
sues to quiet title must bring a dozen
independent actions, as the contro-
versy is distinct as to each lot. Some
times embarrassments have arisen in
other forms where a man purchases at
one of these sales numerous lots; one
may have been mortgaged to A, and
the lien had lapsed, or had been salts
fled, which did not appear of record
another lot was formerly claimed by
b. Now the purchaser could not
bunch the different controversies, that
is have the title quoted to all the lots
purchased in one suit, because de-
PENDANT b is not interested in AS
claim, and so on down the line with
reference to each lot. A tax foreclos-
ure will not cut Off the interests of a
minor or insane person, but al action
to quiet title, if the proceedings are
regular, would doubtless make the bar
complete.
This course may appear to the lay
man as somewhat circuitous, but must
be reckoned with by parties invoking
the remedy.

MOTHER NATURE STILL IN LABOR.
An indication that the internal forces
of nature are still unusually active is
noted in q Nevada mountain, Crystal
Peak, near Reno. A dispatch OF the
10th states that big rents have ap.
peared in the sides of the mountain,
ranging from one to two feet wide, and
few from five to twelve feet wide
and of interminable length. In some
places trees are torn out of the soil.
At the top, deep hole has appeared,
from which vapor resembling steam
is issuing. 1t has every appearance of
becoming an active volcano.

Some Interesting Figures.

Director OF the Census North gives
an amazing statement OF the wonder
full increase oi capital, wages, materials
and value of products OF the manufac-
turing interests in this country the
past five years. His report covers
every State in the Union, and goes
into extensive detail, but includes only
manufacture, which incites conjecture
as to the magnitude of our great re-
sources were the same close figuring
extended to the many other branches
OF industry.
The summary is in brief as follows: :
Number of manufacturing establish
ments in 1900, l2G,30G; in 1905, 1885,.
l37. an increase of 81. Capital in
vested-l9O0, s., lGG, l72, lG4 five years
later it amounted to $7,375,93O,J40.
The number OF salaried officials stood
2l3,l10 in the former year to 30l ,2l2
in 1903 their salaries at 1927 $50
and $330,99l, j59. The number of
wage learners had increased from 3
S65,320 to 1881 1873 and their pay,
from 81, IFS, l0G,3GG to 81 ,55S, l9I ,22S +;
the cost Of materials uses stood for the
years respectively $1,000 ,920,7l0 and
1921 ,2S6,S5S, and the value of pro-
duct arose from SG,S07 sol, 2SS TO $S,-
9SO,I54 1916.
1t will be seen from these totals
that while the ratio of increase OF the
number OF establishments was only
5.4 per cent. the increase of capital
was 42.S per cent. and salaries of off &.
GERS had increased so per cent. and
wages 32S per cent.
Mr.. North's figures show a much
greater proportional increase of indus
tries in the new than the older States,
but the Eastern States hold the in
creased percentage in value of pro-
ducts. The New England section
shows an average increase of about %
per cent.
The great increase in manufacture
ing in the South is apparent. Arkan.
sas increases the values OF its products
40 per cent; Florida, 46 per cent !;
Georgia, SO per cent; Kentucky &c
per cent; Louisiana CT per cent. ;
Mississippi 70 per cent; North Caro-
lima 67 per cent; South Carolina As
per cent; Texas GO per cent; Vir.
ginia, 81 per cent. and so on through
the list. The increase in wages, CAPT.
tai invested and salaries is equally
large.
When Mr.. North, lately gave these
aggregates at dinner party in Wash
ington, they 80 impressed Speaker
Cannon, of the House OF Representa-
tives, that be doomed forth this pro.
fame though emphatic salute: "Our
country is hell OF q success" Yes,
and it may be added that it has been
brought to the very verge of the fiery
lake by methods of the mercenary con-
spirators who have run it.
