HILDRETH HAS
HOPED HIGH

Through a deal closed in Los
Angeles early this week, Fen S.
Hildreth Of Phoenix becomes the
largest individual owner of land
scrip in the world. For a quarter
of a million dollars cash he has
purchased from the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa F'e Railroad Com
pany 100, 900 acres Of Navajo base
scrip, worth from S. to $25 an
acre.
Not only is he the largest indi-
vidual owner of scrip, but he
owns more than all other indivi-
duals combined. The deal that he
has put through is the largest
land transaction in the history of
Arizona and the biggest scrip
deal that was ever made any
where.
Mr.. Hildreth's ownership of
this scrip will not interfere in the
slightest with the operations of
the state land commission, now
selecting the land granted to
Arizona through the statehood
enabling act. He. will sell the
scrip to homesteaders and desert
enCrymen who are anxious to Sc
cure immediate title to their hold
ings and who for various reasons
which often arise cannot comply
with the land laws Of the govern
ment.
About Is per cent Of the scrip
that has been issued for Arizona
lands has been used by home
steaders and desert land entry
men. Mr.. Hildreth expects to sell
no less than 80 per cent of his
scrip to such persons.
Under the act of congress dat
ed March IL, 1872, the Santa Fe
was granted each odd numbered
section of land for forty miles on
each side of it's tracks. Congress
entirely overlooked the fact that
some of these sections would be
included in forest reserves and

ey thereon and thus add to the
wealth of the state. For instance.
one man who bought scrip from
me has spent about $4,000 on
some land near Maricopa. Anoth-
er nonresident is spending about
$50, 900 in reclaiming some land
beyond Marinette.
The state land commission
cannot select land held by home
steaders or desert land entrymen,
Therefore this scrip will not inter

Indian reservations. Many hund-
reds of thousands of acres of
scrip have been issued in lieu of
lands included in reserves and
reservations and granted to rail
road companies.
January 81, 1913, the general
land Office issued to the Santa Fe
300, 600 acres of scrip in lieu of
odd numbered sections lying in
the Navajo reservation in north
ern Arizona. By virtue of the act
of 1872 title to those reservation
lands was vested in the Santa Fe,
but the railroad was paying no
taxes thereon because it was ar
ranged that ultimately it h uld
receive scrip therefore.
At the time the 800, 900 acres
of scrip was issued Mr.. Hildreth
tried to buy it all, but the Santa
Fe wanted in the neighborhood
of a million dollars cash. No offer
involving time payments would
be considered.
He then waited till 200, 600
acres of scrip had been sold,
chiefly to homesteaders and des-
ert land entrymen. He then made
an offer for the remainder, which
was accepted. The details were
closed at a conference in Los An
geles attended by President E.
P. Ripley of the Santa Fe and
Howell Jones, land commissioner
for that company.
The issuance of this scrip is
not at variance with the national
conservation policy" Mr.. Hid
reth said today. In fact, it is an
excellent thing for the state.
The Santa Fe was paying no tax
es on the reservation lands and
until the scrip was released no
land could be selected by anyone
in lieu thereof. The Santa Fe has
not used any of the scrip to Sc
cure land for itself.
Persons who file on home
steads and desert land claims
often find scrip very useful. A
nonresident cannot secure title
to land, though he may be will
ing to spend great deal of mon

Own A Home

Let your first investment be a

Is your family just few people

It's tough thing to walk a

What will be your children's
recollection of a home house

No man is too poor to build as

self.
Ifyour living in a house made
the house more valuable, if the
house were yours you would reap
the benifit.
Think over all the investments
of which you have heard, how
many who have invested in a
home have lost their money?
No doubt the lot on which you
live will be worth more in a few
years than it is now; but it will
be worth more, in a few years
to the landlord, not to you.
You can have more fun in
youth by spending all your money
now; but you can have more COM
fort in age by building a home in
youth
~ You never will be able to get
along without a house to live in;
but you will be able to get along
without a landlord as soon as you
build one for yourself!
The man who spends for pleas
ure the money which he could
save toward a home is as fool
lsh as the man who picks the
flower instead of waiting for the
fruit.
Your landlord had the foresight !
to build for you because he knew
you would need home; how
much better if you had had the
foresight to build for yourself!

the outcome.

Thaw. Why should I worry about
going, back to Matteawan?"
Having found it useless to argue
with him, Thaw's lawyers brought
about truce in the breach that for
time threatened by agreeing to
let Thaw manage the publicity end OF
his case
To Thaw this end has become pre-
dominant. He has been told that he
is likely TO be deported to Vermont
after the Immigration authorities take
him into custody, and Sunday night he
made request for list OF the lead
ing newspapers Of that state.
i may have some very important
statements to give them, he said.
Governor La Force, when asked
about rumors of Thaw escaping from
or being rescued from jail, said that if
he thought there was any danger of
that he would lock Thaw in what ia
