VALLE ' LANDS GOOD BUT MUST
 BE PREPARED
Settlers in Sulphur Springs Who Have Money to De- yelop Are Doing Better Than the Others.

The rush for homesteads in the Sul. phur Springs valley has greatly abat. ed. A short time ago there was a continpaal stream of settlers into that part of the county. and the commiss- toners offices were kept busy U. s. Commissioner Taylor stated yes terday that there have been no en- tries made through his office in some time and it is reported that the same condition exists in Douglas, Court land and Wilcox.
 1t was only a few months ago that there was a steady stream of settlers into the valley and thousands of acres were located and settled par. ticnlarly at the north end above Court land.
 Many of these settlers were induc- ed to come into the valley from Okla. homa and Texas by a real estate firm that was in business in Courtland. Glowing accounts of the value of the land were sent out by the real estate firm and the upper end of the Sul. phur Springs valley was held up to be a land of wonderful opportunity and richness.
 Oklahoma people who had seen land values increase from a few dol lars to hundreds were quick to take advantage of what looked to them like the path to quick riches.
 They came to the valley in large numbers and were settled on the land. Some of them had little capital to go on and reports are now coming in 10 the effect that these ranchers are In anything but good circumstances having spent all they had in mak. ing the small improvements that were absolutely necessary. Those who had capital are continuing their improve. ments and several fine ranches are be ing developed.
 In some instances, it is alleged, the homesteaders are obliged to give UT Tor want of money to bring then property to point where it will be self sustaining. and make a living foi the locator The promises made il the advertisements sent out by tht real estate firm have failed to ms. terialize, and many of those who re lied on them find that they were mis led and instead of the ranches prov ing to be quick means of mahni money they have proved to be the op posite.
 The fertility of the land has aeei well demonstrated, but the expense O getting water, fencing and cle;-rini was so great that many of the set t!e find thsl tkev coEnot put theil homesteads in shape to p'Oduce tn. crops 'hey w-re told could be raised ST cheaply on the valley lands.

TAX PROBLEM FOR

CITY COUNCIL WILL MEET AS EQUALIZATION BOARD AND FIX RATE

The city council will meet Monday night to finish the business of the board of equalization and to hear the kicks on assessments. The council will also fix the 1910 tax rate.
 Because of the financial condition of the city it is expected that it will be necessary to put the tax rate at the highest limit allowed by law. The assessment was made on a ratio of fifty per cent of actual valuation of the taxable property. After the as sessor had turned his rolls the board of equalization raised nearly half of

'CURTA|LMENT IS
 ORDERED FOR THREE
PROPERTIES OF GREENE CAN. ANEA WILL CEASE DEVELOP. mENT FOR PRESENT.

Word comes from Cananea that or ders have been issued for curtailment of development work at the Puerto eitos mine, the Henrietta and the Eli ss, all properties of the Greene Can anea company. A number of Chinese laborers who were employed at the Puertoeitos have been laid of indef- initely.
 It is also reported that there Is to be a reduction made in output, but this rumor could not be confirmed Cananea people who were in Bisbee last night gave it as their opinion that the curtailment of development 1 work at the Puertocitos, the Henri 1 etta and the Elisa, was ordered to re- duce expenses, and if there is any | reduction made in the output of the mines it will be because of the alleged agreement made among copper produc- CTS to lower the production.

 IS PUT IN JA|l

J. c. McClintom was arrested last night by the city police and charged with having carried a concealed weapon, a six-shooter. The officer had heard complaints that McClintom had pulled a gun on one of the em- ployes of the B. l. company. MT. Kerr, and they were looking for him.
 Policeman Wright found McClin- tom in the Maze saloon and when he went in to arrest him. McClintom made a break for liberty. He rah through the Maze billiard hall into the alley with the officer after him. When he reached the alley McClin- tom is alleged to have drawn a six shooter. The officer told him not to shoot or he would be killed.
 Clinton sprinted down the al- ley and went up on School hill and turned by the school building. The officer came down town and meeting Policeman Trotter sent him up by the way of Brewery Gulch to head McClinsom off. Trotter met and ar rested McClintom but found no gun on his person.
 The prisoner was brought before Justice High who fixed his bail at $50. McClintom not having the money was put in jail and will be tried Monday. A search was made for the pistol, but owing to the dark ness it could not be found.

FOREST FIRES MORE; LOSS LESS.
Figures Compiled at Washington for
1909 Show Damage Less Severe.

I Fire, the bane of the forest, played
less havoc in the woodlands Of the ma
tional reserves last year than in 1908.
although the number Of blazes was 410
greater, according to statistics which
have been compiled by the Department
OF Agriculture. BY reason of the pro-
tectiye measures adopted by the de-
partment. almost so per cent of the
fires were extinguished before as much
as five acres had been damaged; the
fires covered less than one and one
half acres to the square mile OF ma
tional forest land, and the damage
done 70 the burned-over area averaged
only slips an acre.
For the year ended Dec. 81, 1909,
there were 3,13S fires in the forests,
burning over 100000 acres, OF which
about $4,000 were private lands in ma
tional forests. against 100000 acres in
1908. About 170,000,O0O board feet of
timber were consumed, Of which 49,
100000 feet were owned privately,
against 230,000,00O in the previous
year. The loss in value of timber de-
stroyed was less than 100000, of
which $4,000 belonged to private par
ties. The loss of the year before was
about $450.000. Damage to reproduc-
tion and forage showed remarkable
decrease. less than 100000 being the
record for 1909 and over 100000 that
for 1908. Locomotive sparks were ac-
countable for more blazes than any
other cause.

The Hand kiss.

The kiss of the hand is undoubte,i
ly ancient and therefore is not derived
from that OF the lips. but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances in which the earth,
the foot and the garments were kissed,
the hand and cheek succeeding in or
der of time and approach to equality of
rank. But 1t is doubtful II that was
the actual order, and it is certain that
at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations
Of rank than at later stage.
kissing Of the hands between men
is mentioned In the Old Testament;
also by Homer, Pllny and Lucian. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sac.
red objects, such as statues OF the gods,
as is shown by ancient works OF art,
and also among numerous etymologies
by that of the Latin word adore" and
1t was also metaphorically applied by
the inferior or worshiperif kissing his
own hand and throwing the salute to
the superior or statue.
