NEW MILWAUKEE AGENT.
Currently Reported That G. +
Ambli, Now i'm Charge of
Freight Office, Will be
Made Agent.

Since the death of Mr.. S. V.
Potter, who for a quarter of CEN
fury and more was the passenger
agent of the c. M. & St. P. Ry. in
DEBORAH, there has been much specu-
lation among the citizens generally
as to who his successor might be-
While we have no direct authority
from the officials of the railroad to
state that he will be given the APP
pointment, yet it seems to be under
stood generally among the railroad
men in this section that the ap-
pointment will go to Mr.. C. F.
Ambli, who has for some time been
in charge of the Milwaukee freight
Office. 1t is expected that an audi
tor will be here any day to check
him in, and that he will be commits
stoned as agent. Mr.. Ambli has
grown up in DEBORAH, is a graduate
of the DEBORAH high school and a
good business man, and there are
many here who would be glad to see
him get the appointment. If he gets
the appointment, it is also quite
probable that Edward Ambli will
remain as assistant in the passenger
station and that Alfred Blagsvedt,
who has been assisting in the freight
station for some years, will be placed
in charge of the station.

Farm Wages Soaring.

The Anthem Herald says: Farm
wages as well as farm land is soar
ing and is a problem that is puzzling
many. We know of farm hand not
five miles from Anthem who is draw
ing SIS per month, board and wash
ing, and his employer AYERS that he
is the cheapest help he ever en-
ployed. He is out and at it at 500
O'Clock every morning the year
around and really takes more in
terest in the work than the pro-
prietor. He is an experienced stock
feeder and not all animal on the
farm escapes his attention and care
He is splendid hand with a team,
is gentle with the stock and is never
in town unless on business. On an
average he will do more work each
day than two ordinary men. and has
the happy faculty of attending to his
own business.

Gov. Hughes Supreme Judge.

President Taft has appointed
Governor Charles E. Hughes of New
York as associate justice of the SUI
preme Court of the United States.
to fill the place made vacant by the
death of Justice Brewer, and Gov.
Hughes has accepted the appoint
ment. By this acceptance Mr.
Hughes retires from politics, and his
name will no longer be coupled with
the presidency. as it has been during
the past few years. The salary is
only $4,000 per year, and his ac-
ceptance is considered noble sacri-
flee of personal interests to public
service.
This is the appointment which
1owans generally hoped might come
to Justice Horace E. Deemer of the
Iowa supreme court.

LARGE LOANS ARE
MADE ON RANCHES
Lombard & Son Have Placed
Nearly S6,GOO,OO0 With
ont a Foreclosure

Lombard & Son. incorporated. in the
Monadnock building announce the
cicsins up of several large loans on
country property in various parts o.
this state. All OF these loans We're
made for the account of ono client who
has purchased from this firm loans on
property in this state whose total now
aggregates nearly s1,0O0.O00.
The men composing this firm have.
isi their personal capacities. been max
ing loans for this client in various
parts of the country for a period OF
more than Is years. during which time
about $4,000, 900 has been loaned. Out
of this sum this client has never lost
q dollar in interest or principal. Cali
fornia will continue to receive atten-
tion from this large lender and others
will be attracted by the favorable op-
portunity existing in the central par
of the state to place their funds on
loans to farmers at an entirely sStis
factory rate of interest.
The withdrawal of certain bankers
from the central part of the state. a.
loan field has worked a radical
change in the rates OF interest to be
obtained ON farm mortgages so that
now they are proving decidedly at
tractive to the eastern investor. City
banks withdrew from that field so that
they might use their funds az loans TO
persons assisting in the rebuilding of
san Francisco. TO which they are in
debted for their deposits.
Norman Lombard. assistant treasurer
of Lombard & Son. said.
We are decidedly proud OF our rec
ord. as you viii see that we are justi-
fed in being. when I tell you that no
loan negotiated BY Us has ever been
forsclOsed. 7 see no reason why one OF
our loans ever shO1Id be fOFeclOsed.
for we make such thorough examina-
tions OF each property and have such
stringent rules Whien we insist shall
be lived up 70 by prospective borrow
ers before their loans are cOnsJmma ted,
Mat only an extraordinary combination
of circumstances could land a poor
loan On our hands The constantly ad-
vaTrcing values incident TO the increase
in population OF this western country
add an additional safeguard as the
margin OF security in each loan is thus
constantly increasing.

DEMAND FOR SMALL
ACREAGE FARMS
Branching Out OF Railroads
Opens Up New Tracts for
Settlement

Il notice a growing demand for low
priced, small acreage farms for market
gardening, fruit and poultry raising,
said j. +. Green, mana ger of the coun-
try department of Baldwin & Howell
This demand comes from the Itahah
classes, particularly, who are always
successful in the tilling OF small acres
Heretofore the call has been for lands
close to the larger cities. but with the
development Of suburban electric lines
and the branching out of the railroads.
hundreds of new localities are now
available which a few years ago were
quite out of the question.
Most OF these new lands, however,
have TO be thoroughly honeycombed
with elaborate systems of irrigation be-
fore they can be used. which necessi-
tates the property first going through
the hands of developing companies who
have the capital and experience to do
this work. Land that today isn't worth
SIS an acre can be transformed into
the most valuable of farm property II
the present owner is willing. as ne
should be- TO acknowledge that he can
do nothing toward this development
and will sell al reasonable nSure 10
people who can develop ii.
you must remember that there are
hundreds of thousands of acres in Cali
fornia for the developing companies 10
where they can buy cheapest. A man
is foolish to hold cheap land for a
high price simply because he figures IT
will be worth great deal more II
irrigated. 1t costs money to frrigate,
and IL takes experience TO sell off the
small pieces when it is irrigated. Some
OF the big operating companies that
stand ready to buy big tracts at low
prices have been in the business 20 or
80 years and control millions OF dol
lars. They are accustomed to buying
land in other sections at 81 and 50 an
acre. and any big land owner who
raises his prices in any foolish antici-
patton that he will get il is simply
deceiving himself.
Il have, right now, orders to look out
for some big properties ranging from
10. 600 acres up. but / know, as we'll as
I know the daylight. that no sales Will
come through unless the land owner
gets right down TO brass tacks and
lists at a rock bottom price And III
he does that, then he can expect qutck K
action. for these people have the coin
Furthermore. land that is only
worth SO or s12 an acre VIII never
be worth any more unless il is frri-
gated. In fact, as intensive farming
develops. 1 believe the cheap, waterless
land will become almost worthless. and
unless a man can put up few hun
dred thousand dollars TO subd1vlde, II
rigats and sell his property, he had
better get rid OF it right now for what
ever he can get and use the money
for something more profitable. Money
is worth from to S per cent, and IL
does not take long to eat up snla u
fortune tied up in some big ranch that
is worthless unless irrigated.

RECORDS OF RECENT YEARS

In six years more than 100. 900 acres
have been planted to irrigated crops.
In four years the acreage planted to
alfalfa has advanced the county from
the seventh to the first place in Califor-
MIA in the list of dairy counties.
+ The population Of the district has
doubled in two years.
Hundreds of acres of orchards and
vineyards were in bearing last year.
great cannery has been established
to handle the fruits.
This is the region of great possibili-
ties because everything that can be
grown in an orchard, field or vineyard
is produced in Stanislaus county with
