~N0N-EXISTENT n
Farmers in Aurora County Wonder
III They viii Lose Their
Possessions.

Mitchell, Nov. 20.-Suits at law in
voiying approximately 100000 may
be brought to settle title to twelve
quarter sections of land i'm Aurora
county.
The boundaries of Aurora county
show two townships, Cooper and Eu-
reka, to possess t~hirty-six sections
each. Records of these lands on file
for a period of thirty years show that
during this time the government has
received taxes on them and persons
who believe themselves TO be the
owners have been getting rentals and
other fees for the use of property
that never existed. Twelve quarters
of land in these two townships, duly
recorded and protected by patents
from the United States land office, in
reality are not to be found in Aurora
county. according TO recent investi-
gators.
Investigation shows that the maps
should give these two townships as
being one-half mile short on either
the east or west line. The reason
that this is not done is that no al
l0wance has been made for the curv-
ature of the earth, ii is explained.
The first trouble arose when a non
resident came to look after his land.
only to find another man in posses
sion, protected by letters patent from
the department of the interior. APP
%parently two deeds has been given
for the same tract. A suit "a nee
essary to decide. and the resident
was ousted with an attendent loss of
all his improvements. amounting to
several thousands of dollars.
As a result of this case many per-
sons are wondering whether they
will be compelled TO vacate farms
they have occupied for years and look
for their own lands elsewhere, pos
sibly to find they never existed.
Land in this section is selling for
about $50 an acre and there are
twelve quarter sections in dispute,
bringing the full value up to close
to a quarter of a million dollars.
Among the reasons assigned for
this condition in titles is hat when
the original survey was made the
surveyors instruments were crude.
They measured distance by means of
a rag" tied to a wagon wheel, it
is pointed out.

ANOTHER UNDESIRABLE IMPORTATION

The English starling. which is thriving Atlantic seabord, has been described desirable citizen Pessimsts have lamented the fact that whereas efforts naturaliZing the justly cee brated skylark have resulted in depressing failures, the starng has shown a sparrow-like ability to pass any test. He has multiplied under curses and found that he could the climate, though it is of the mild English sort, and pretty much every thing else that had to offer.
 But though the starling has been knocked he is not without friends A correspondent of eastern paper indicates that he just loves cutworms and wireworms and that when dessert is mentioned he calls for caterpillars. He eats many times his weight in these evildoers, but say dry grain to him and it gives him a touch of
 Presently learned and conscientious investigat- ors with thoughts on economies will cut up the starng and publish tables showing the percentage of the things in his nsides. They have done this for the sparrow and the meadow lark the hawk and other suspects and proved conclusivey in every case that what birds want generally when meal time comes around is fresh bug meat and the seeds Of weeds and that they turn with studied scorn from the foods grown for mankind The thing is proved. and now the only danger seems to be from too much research Birds cannot prosper when in the attempt to save them the experts keep cutting out their stomachs and giving them the last analysis.-Chcagc Record Herald.

MISTAKES MADE ON THE TYPEWRITER

What is vour favorite mistake on a typewriter? Nearly everyone who has used a machine for some time finds that he she makes a mistake on some one word or a number of words. and that the mis- take is generally made in the same way. For ih- stance "hte' is of the commonest mistakes TOT the "eht' somewhat more rare; 'ahve' TOT nave 'hwat" for what and similar transpositions or the first letters are common Some stenographers make their mistakes the second and third letters tkae for take grip girl and similar ones are or this type.
 Often the mistake consists of changing the posi- tien of the vowels in a word. One may be in the habit of making some of the following mistakes: .Luxurnous' for luxurious. "necissity TOT heees- sity "customes" for costumes Other mistakes are more rare but even harder to explain number of typewriter claim that they spell lolot "ediotr or .edeiot': humor-when using the English speng-"houmur, Egypt for Egypt ana eshe for aisle.
 No one of these mistakes is a of msspell- ing Of course, most of us have words that we are prone mispell (sic) but these are words we kno" are wrong and generally realize their incorrecthess immedately-still next time the same mistake IS made
 A common mistake is to spell boss 'boos," sweet 'swett" or little little" When doubling the letters the wrong doubled Oftentimes we find that can speed up on most Of the words that we use but that these bete noirs we hesitate, ano' hesitating, lost Even when we stop to think we make the mistake that we had determined we would not make
 The medical explain the causes or these lapses in various ways One doctor declares that the stenographers fingers not firmly controlled by the brain. She has the word in her brain and the stimulus is along the nerves to the ringer muscles but, owing the loose control of the bran, they become mixed
 Another physician thinks that the cause is due to the stimulus being delayed or the other or the nerve the fingers the stimulus for one letter being faster than for the other. It VIII be noticed by of that have certain pet mistakes that generally they among the words that We use most often Little words like of, the, there and words of that kind are the that fall down on most often-Chicago Tribune.

ToRoNTo's MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC SYSTEM

The municipal electric system of Toronto Can ada, already has begun experience the practical difficulties which forecast the inception of the enterprise by practical engineers identical with the plan. The third annual report of the Toronto Hydro Electric system has been published recently. A brief extract of important features of the report follows:
 Anticipated reductions in rates cannot be made.
 Interruptions of service the hydro electric lines from Niagara Falls have established the sty of providing steam reserve plant at cost of $1,000,00O, the heavy annual charges of which will constitute additional burden the system not previously contemplated allowed for.
 Tt develops that the cost of procuring capital has exceeded original expectations. The enterprise has been loaded with heavy additional burdens laid upon it by reason of the low prices at which the city Toronto found it necessary sell the deben issued to construct the plant Discount and lures issued to construct the plant. Discount and a little over 20 per of the amount of the net proceeds The additional annual burden laid thereby ture by way of interest and sinking fund on this loss of s951 76556, amounts $5391322. This is far beyond anything previously contemplated.
 Tt is necessary for the plant to have not less than $1 100000 for working capital. The enterprise has been hampered by lack of current funds not invested in plant and equipment This need also had not been anticipated.
 The additional funds required to provide the steam reserve plant and the working capital will bring the city's investment above $7,5O0O0o on project originally estimated cost $2,9O0,OO0.

There Must Be ko Temporizino

If there any progressives in Arizona who have thought seriously of fusion with the repub- heans for possible temporary gain which, by the way, is impossible of attainment they must be strongly reminded by the letter of Colonel Roose- welt to The Republican, printed this morning that the triumph of progressive principles cannot be ac- complished by temporizing. It the boast of all progressves that they had enlisted for the war Wars are not prosecuted by by alliances with the enemy. In order that they may be brought to successful conclusion they must be fought to the end.
 The most that could be urged in favor of even a temporary amalgamation with the republicans would be the necessity or advisabty of effecting a change in the state and county governments of Ari- zona. AS desirable such a change might be- it is impossible of accomplishment by fusion. That would only insure continuance of the present gov 
 But if that were possible, desirable as it may be, progressives have larger duty perform that Of relieving the of the dstressu state which it sank five years ago and in which it mains without prospect of relief except by the ap- plcation of progressive principles to the govern ment These principles can be applied only by the united effort of progressves in every state United and unswerving effort will more and good citizens to the cause until it shall triumph
 We quote from a recent statement by Represen- tative Victor Murdock. progressive of Kansas, on fusion:
 Please say for me that all amalgamaton talk is rot. Men do not compromise their principles unless they compromise their principles for selfish aplbi- tons, such the acquisition of political office The of this country subject much cheap peanut politics But rule the voters their convictions and principles Parties formed principles and conviction and not on personal ambi tions
 The who organized the progressive party acted principle. They firm in the conviction that both the old parties bad. They not go ing to change this conviction and amagamate with the republicans who have given evidence in the past two years of any increase in efficiency prn cipes Not has the party in the house taken an affirmative stand in opposition to a big measure pro- posed by the democrats They have shown purely negative opposition all big features of the demo- cratic program-tarff currency canal tolls, trusts. The progressives the contrary have offered defi nte alternative proposals every part of the demo- cratic program On this showing, where is. the ground for amalgamaton?
 When l went into the fight, l knew the new party would have to wade through year of amalga- nation talk. Also I knew how I should stand on the proposition. I enough of amalgamaton when the democrats and populists got together"

secret meeting three nights before final action taken. It was learned the next day after the hold ing of this chamber conference in violation of the spirit of the charter, that there had been such a meeting which the mayor had declined to attend. But it until after the ordinance was read on Monday night that even inquiring citizens were of the character of it. It had been rumored that there be modification of the regulatory features of ordinance then pending, which had the approval of good citizens, but the public prepared believe that these features be entirely eliminated and that the liquor traffic in Phoenix to be given greater freedom than it had enjoyed for years.
 But what the emergency? Were any guests in any ffty-room hotel in Phoenix pershng of thirst which be instantly assuaged by gal Ions of liquor three gallons of beer? Was it feared by the commission that any citizens of Phoenix, men. women young girls would not survive dry Sunday? Was it absolutely essential that the hotels and dining rooms should immediately begin to reap their profits under the ordinance?
 Pursuing this pathological investigation further find other and uncommon meanings of the word unexpected gain." "a casual profit. Under either of the last two definitions, "an unexpected gain," "a casual profit" the ffty-room hotels the com mission may have regarded the ordinance an emergency measure with which the people had no right to interfere. The emergency lay in the certainty that the people would interfere if they were given chance and the chance therefore denied them
 It is a curious fact that the first emergency measure well this, the latest passed in Ari- passed in the interest of the liquor traffic The first enacted by the legislature three years ago very shortly after the first state legislature was convened to free the saloons of Tucson. and wherever else they inconvenienced, from the menace of the old six mile limit law.
 The prostitution of a measure intended to meet serious exgencies deserves popular rebuke, and we doubt not that it will be administered at the proper time.
