TWO SWELL HOUSES
SOLD YESTERDAY
Outlook is Good for Active
Spring in Realty.

Yesterday, Mr.. Lee Allen, the real
estate man, sold to~Mr A c. Crock
EFT and DR.. E. K. Crockett, three cot
tages on Patterson Height for 81 800
Each of the cottages has four
rooms, back and front porches and
is a comfortable little home. They
were built about year ago by Mr.
H. j. Bagley and command an excel
lent rental.
Yesterday Mr.. Allen filed two appli-
cations for desirable residences that
parties wish to rent here.
Good renting property is scarce
indeed, in Americus,' said Mr. Allen
2And it is likely to continue so.
''As for real estate generally, prices
hold up and are likely to be higher
in the spring than they are now. Pro
perty is generally pretty we'll held
and the owners realize it's value and
are not wiling to part with it. II
pays we'll and is safe. | believe that
number of people who have idle
money will be investing it in good
paying town property and that it will
be quite an active year for real es-
tate men"

TAKING RISK IN FAILING
TO REGISTER NAME S
Many Concerns in AmeriCus
Negligent.

Many Americus corporations, and
persons subject to the payment of
occupation tax, have thus far failed
to pay said tax to Collector l. B.
Small and register in the office of
the Ordinary, as required by State
law. Under this law every bank
and business corporation of whatever
kind is required to register and pay
this small tax, but not one has done
so as yet, although penalty is pres
cribed for all who fail to do So I'm
der the law any corporation is pro-
hibited from engaging in business un-
til such special tax is paid the State,
but hundreds are taking the chances
on having the penalty enforced. Real
estate agents are likewise required to
register and pay small tax, but
only one in Americus has as yet done
so.

WARDS OF UNCLE SAM
 WORK ON YUMA LEVEE
PimaS and PapagoS Foil Where White Men Perish From

YUMA. Jan. 30.-Dr A. L. Leeds has arrived in Yuma in advance of from 200 to 400 Indians he is to place at work on the~entension of the Yuma levee from it's present terminus, four. teen miles south or the city to the Sonora line. He now represents the government in the matter of Indian labor, as he did when he had 400 of his wards at work for the California Development company at upper and lower heading.
 Arriving recently in the car Sierra Nevada, Messrs. Dewar, De Huer and Long, heads of the Southern Pacific construction department, proceeded at once to make an inspection of the leyee between the second bridge here and Potholes. They will approve the right of way and order the laying of the railroad to the dam. This work is to begin at once.
 Dr. Leeds brings Pimas and Papa gos from Sacaton, Maricopa, Casa Grande, Phoenix, Tucson and Gila Bend. They all know and trust nm. He accomplished wonders with them Tor the California Development com. pany last year. They work like Tro- jans in the brushy swamps of the overflow, unmindfuI of the summer heat. Their first camp will be four. teen miles south of the city and the force at the beginning will be 200 strong.

it will not be over a choice of nom- inee for president and it is believed that the candidate for vice president will have been chosen long before the convention meets. It may be that some differences may arise as to certain features of the platform, but in that work the Bryan following will be so strong that the man chosen for president by the convention will prac- tically say what the principles shall be for which the coming battle will be fought
 As the several states hold their presidential conventions it will be seen hat they will be for Bryan unan- imously from one end of the country to the other.
 We believe that with the nomina' ton of Bryan all will agree that if the fight which has been started for railroad and trust regulation is de sired to be continued Bryan is the man for the white house. He is the original man to sound the note oi warning calling attention to what conditions would be in this country unless a curb was put upon predatory wealth; those who are advocating railroad control and the control of the trusts are only asking for that which Bryan was contending in 1906 when he was branded as a "demagogue' and an anarchist by the republic and gold-bug press of the country
 Since then Bryan has been con sistent and determined in his fight tc destroy the system of special privi Ieges in this country.

Scott was perhaps the most devoted dog lover that ever was. Any one who has ever read Lockhart's Life" will readily admit this.

It was Camp who once bit the baker and was severely reprov- ed for his misdeed, after which he never heard the word baker" men toned, even in the most casual way, without crawling under the table in the most dire distress. Scott felt Camps death acutely. It is said that on the evening of the sad event he ex- cused himself from attending dinner party, pleading as his apology 'the death of a dear old friend" Maida was, if possible, even more beloved. She was a cross between wolf and a deer hound. Scores of artists painted Maida's likeness.

COLONEL BRYAN
 IN WASHINGTON.

Colonel William J. Bryan has been in Washington during this week hold ing conferences with the democratic senators and representative touch ing the oncoming presidential cam paign. All he talk about certain democrats of the country trying to persuade Bryan to withdraw from the contest and allow the democratic nomination to go to another seems to have been mere supposition. As a matter of fact there are few demo crats in the country who believe that any other democrat could make as good showing against the repubIi. cans this year as Colonel Bryan There are many democrats who ad, mire Johnson of Minnesota, Johnson of Ohio, Folk of Missouri and Iother distinguished democrats whose names have been mentioned in connection with the democratic nomination, but it is safe to say that the New York and eastern democrats who would side-track Bryan are not looking foI another holding practically the same views as does the Nebraskan; they are looking for another safe and sane" candidate. who, if nominated would not receive as many votes this year as did Parker in 1904

Most of us look on today as mere resting place, a stop-oyer point where we do not unpack our baggage, but take out the few articles we need for the night. and leave everything ready for the journey of the morrow. It is rare to find a person who does not feel that he is still enroute to some thing beyond. The interest centers in something a little further on, not here.
 There is always this beyond" We are always getting ready for tomor- row. for the time when we are really going to live, when everything will be settled, and all things set to right, when, we shall get out of discord into things which annoy and shall be sur rounded by our friends in the midst of comforts and luxuries. All our fac ulties and energies are focused on some distant picture; and when we arrive at the point where we thought attachments dwell, we shall probably find that the rainbow has moved on and is as far in advance as before. So multitudes of people impress us as always on the hunt for the real object of their lives. and as not yet having found it.

THE MORALES EDITOR LAUGHS LAST.

The editor of the Nogales Oasis was laughing up his sleeve on the edi- torial page last week. The cause of his satisfaction and amusement was the interview of Hon. Robert E. Nor rison of Prescott who has declared himself in favor of Arizona sending to the republican national convention an uninstructed delegation. The cause of the Nogales editors hilarity is the thought that Mir Morrison will be in the same position in the next territorial republican convention oc, cupied by the Oasis editor two years ago. The Oasis, however, thinks Mir. Morrison's position is we'll taken, and that the Arizona republicans, woh be ritory from an undesirable union with New Mexico, owe the senator an ev. erlasting debt of gratitude Different from most people, Bro. Bird thought and acted to the contrary. When he made his appearance at the republf
 can territorial convention in Bisbee
 in 1906. he occupied back seat and notwithstanding his repeated at
 tempts to gain recognition from the chair, (which was occupied by the same Mir. Morrison from Yavapai) the chairman persisted in turning g deaf ear and a blind eye to his en
 treaties and gesticuIations. In his

BIG TOMATO YIELD.

~ a |.
 YUMA, Ariz, Jan. 30.-Supervisor J. H. Shanssey has three tomato vines from which he has gathered more than 700 tomatoes this winter. Mrs. Shanssey and himself have counted them as they took them from the vines and the count of tomatoes picked since late fall passed 700 sev- eral days ago and the three vines are still heavy with green and ripening tomatoes.
 Although tomatoes are retailing at 20 cents a pound and the three vines have borne at least 80 worth of them MT. Shanssey has not sold one, but has distributed them among his friends and given them to the sick of the neighborhood.
 Tomatoes grow better here in the winter than in the summer and the kind of vines MT. Shanssey has last throughout the year. He should pre- serve a great many seed. The vines are as healthy now as they were last summer and fall.

minds eye the Nogales editor can see repetition of the Bisbee incident with the positions reversed. Hence his joy and hilarity was unconfined
 More than this the Oasis editorial may be taken as an index of the po- sition to be taken by the erstwhile "jointists'' in this territory. Reading between the lines, it means, if it means anything, that the jointists are more favorable to those republicans fayoring an uninstructed delegation than they are to the program outlined by the two KS" One of the KS" stands for Kibbey, the man who was first in favor of joint statehood, but who forsook the cause and left a small number of the faithful adrift in a sea of public condemnation. Again, the jointists well know that it was Kibbey who planned the joint convention at Bisbee, where joint ist'' was treated as highbinder and an outlaw, and again. it well known that the two Ks" are acting under direct orders from the white house, now occupied by the same individual who only a few short months ago dashed the political aspirations of the few remaining jointists in this terri tory to the ground and permitted this same governor to dictate the admin istration policy in Arizona for the fu- ture. All these things are known to the jointists. They have been re corded, and while Chairman Morrison was deaf and blind the jointists in the Bisbee convention, it may be that the Morrison following in this terri tory, assisted by the jointists led by Bro. Bird, may join hands in Tucson a few weeks from now and retire another faction of this same Grand Old Party to political oblivion
