that Shorten's chances for breaking
back into the game seem very slim.
Flagstead has had a rather re-
markable experience since breaking
into professional ball three a

Baron Alta, ZOO
BY W. II. SGocHER.

After a horse has been raced for
three seasons in all kinds of company
and never finished outside OF the money,
he is entitled to be considered a sue
cessful performer. That is the score
which has beer made by the Oakland
Baron gelding Baron Alta. His card
shows SO starts of which he won 2S, was
second in four, third In three, and
fourth IL one. His winnings amount
TO Sill, 567 80, a very favorable showing
for a horse that made all of his starts
but one over the half mile tracks.
Baron Alta was bred at the Hudson
River Stock farm, Poughkeepsie, n. y,
and was sold as a thre~e-year-old at
one Of the New York sales TO Roger
Rourke, OF Greenfield, Mass, for $40.
| He was then u trotter and showed a
quarter In IS seconds at that gait when
Starr Lee, of Athol, purchased him for
$500. The four year-old was then
turned over to Eddie Rowe. He shifted
him to a pace, the gait at which his
dam L~aureatta made a record of 2;0Sh.

Springfield, VT, was me scene of
Baron Atlas first race, He won a
heat IN 2;25 and finished second TO
Brown johnson. This event was fol-
lowed by eight victories in five weeks,
his fastest mile being paced in e,14h
at Northampton. His last appearance
in 1916 was in October at Fitchburg,
where he paced three races on con-
secutive days and was credited with
one first and two thirds at the close

Wednesday evening the Nogales Daily Herald haa

money that will meet the obligation.
The statement has deal Of truth; but the Herald
ots all mention of the causes for the condition describ
ed and conveys the impression that the fault lies IN ms
of county and town affairs by the Board Oh
Supervisors of Santa Cruz County, and by the Noges
Town Council. Had the Herald gone into the matter
thoroughly there would have been no room for the conc
sion presented. >,
First Here is the absolute fact with regard to the
county: AS is known by all there is within Santa Cruz
county large tract of land known as the Baca Float
Grant 1t embraces 100000 acres and it is worth large
sum of money No taxes have been paid upon that
land until this year. Recently the county received
checks for taxes on the north half of the tract for 1917
and for the first months of 1913 But for all the years
preceding 1917 the taxes unpaid and their collection
is contested by the grant claimants in the courts The
suits for back taxes have been heard in the Superior
Court and Judgment given the county But they are in
