A Little Farm Well Titled.

It might be said that the great fault
with the agriculture of any country
where land has been plenty and cheap
is that wasteful, cratched.over meth
ode become the habit, and neither a
neighbours thoroughness nor his az.
erage yield per acre affords q measure
OF what ought to be the rule on the
we'll titled farm.
In itself, the small farm does not
possess any particular merit. 1t ia
only when it is thoroughly titled that
it becomes meritorious or profitable,
II q farmer has q hundred acres that

cultivated, it would not be wise for
him to dispose of half of it and cult.

guilty ating before. But as a rule the
farmer would better his condition il

And, to turn the shield around. there

Rut to return to the great Arizona

Might it not be a soundly patriotic
policy to "lsy down" a Roosevelt

night by the Butte Business Mems
association, an audit of the city's
finances dating back 10 years, is given.

some of which may be clerical, but in
the expressed opinion of the auditors,
Messrs. Pogson, Peloubet & Co., in
some instances 'we are satisfied tina

During the term of former Treasurer
Phil G. Goodwin several discrepancies
occur, including one for 81, 700. 1t is
in this connection that the auditors
express the opinion that cash was ab.
stracted.. Treasurer Goodwin "failed
to account for certain personal taxes

The case was heard before Receiver

fire caught in the hotel and wind car
ried the burning embers across the

was owned by Jas. A. Johnson and
the printing Office was owned by M.

Valerian: The Valerian learns with
regret that thieves have been pillag-
ing the homestead houses surrounding
Waller during the absence of the in
mates and that nothing is safe against
the providers. The depred atoms range
all the way from household goods and
supplies to farm implements and the
limit was reached recently when 5000
pounds OF seed oats we're removed
from the granary on j. N. Starbuck's
homestead. The first little lesson the
pilgrim learned in other sections of
the state, upon his arrival. was to be
honest above all things and it would
appear to be time to make an example
of the thieves of the Waller country.

questions to be discussed, but we
kept the meeting distinctly confer

in the care of children can discuss
