Cultivate Small Farms
Too many acres is the draw
back, and upon a principle like
that entirely too many farmers
are conducting their business.
They are trying to produce on
two acrers of land what might
better be produced on one. If
such a principle will bankrupt a
manufacturing concern, how can
a farmer expect to prosper by
applying it?
Farming is not a calling in
which "main strength and awk
wardness" are factors. It is not
an industry that affords a large
aggregate crop by half cultivat
ing a large acreage. On the
other hand, in farming, as in all
callings, it is intelligence that
counts and will count to an in
creasing degree in the future
while .slipshop, wasteful and in
efficient methods are and w'll
continue to be increasingly ata
discount.
It is advised that a small farm
well tilled is to its owner's ad
vantage. This brings up the
question; What is meant by a
small farm? .Necessarily this
does not mean any particular
number of acres. The whole
phrase, "a little farm well tilled"
Is inseparable, and if not separ
ated ;a little farm" defines it
self. A farm is not too large if
it is thoroughly tilled, tfnd every
acre made to do Its best. Any
size farm Is too large when it is
beyond the ability X)f the owner,
In labor or capita -or both, to
till it well.

EXCLUSIVE GENTS' FURNISHINGS
against the Cinnabar Develop

Kumph for the setting aside of
the sale of the property of the
Colonial Development Company
to Kumph, by whom it was trans

in which many of the stockhold
ers of the Colonial Company
other than the plaintiffs were in
terested. The properties involv

Quartzsite. It is stated by the
complaint that more than $140,
000 had been spent in the devel

to the sale, which it is alleged
was authorized at an irregular
meeting of the directors held for
the purpose of defrauding the
plaintiffs.

Portland (Ore.), April 24.
Federal Judge Charles Wolver
ton decided today in favor of the
Government every contention
made in its answer to the demur
rer of the Southern Pacific Com
pany in the so-called "O. & C."
land grant cases. If this decis
ion be sustained by the United
States Supreme Court, land in
Oregon valuecfcat from $50,000,
000 to i$75,000,000 will revert to
the Government and probably
will be opened to settlers.
In 1866 Congress granted to
the Oregon Central Railway
Company a tract through the
heart of Oregon, comprising
what is now some of the richest
agricultural and most valuable
timber land in the State. The
consideration for the grant was
an agreement to construct a rail
way north and south over what
is now the Southern Pacific's
Oregon division of the Shasta
route.
The Ray Consolidated mill at
Hayden, Arizona, has commenc
ed operations, crushing over
1000 tons of ore daily. When in
full operation, the plant will be
one of the largest smelters in
the world.

Cave Greek and Fsrrar Placers
There is quite a boom in the
Cave creek district, about thirty
miles northwest of Quartzsite.
Some new and very rich placer
grounds have been found there
recently. There was a rush for
that district as soon as the find
became known, but the better
part of the ground had already
been sold to California people,
who are now making prepara
tions to put machinery on the
holdings. They now have about
ten men at work.
The Dignowitys and associates
have just finished the surveying
and location work on their prop
erty around Quartzsite, m the
Chollas and around Middle
Camp. They have bought and
located something like 10,000
acres of placer and quartz ground
in the district.
There is a great deal of activ
ity in the placer fields at New
water. Two or three big east
ern outfits have bought in there
and are getting ready to put in
large plants.
M. J. McCarthy and George
Rohpeter of Prescott, who re
cently bought the Farrar gulch
property, are getting a diamond
drill to test all of their claims.
Mr. McCarthy is in Chicago at
present, where he has interested
some eastern capitalists. He
expects to return shortly with
them.
Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?
No. Never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in the
swamps and marshes, bayous and low
lands. These are the malaria germs
that cause ague, chills and fever, weak
ness, aches in the bones and muscles
and may induce deadly typuoid. But
Electric Bitters destroys'and casts out
these vicious germs from the blood.
"Three bottles drove all the malaria
from my system." wrote William Fret
well of Lucama, N. C, "and I've had
fine health ever since." Use this safe,
sure remedy only, 50c at all druggists.
Gulf Has Shrunk
A map of California published
in 1626, by the geographer to
the King of France, shows the
Gulf of California as extending
along the entire eastern bound
ary of the State and connecting
with the Pacific Ocean at Puget
Sound. The map was made from
drawings and accounts furnished
by the early navigators. While
it is certain that the Gulf of Cal
ifornia never extended to the
Puget Sound country it surely
did extend very far north of its
present boundary. Fifty years
ago the Indians of the Colorado
desert told bow their fathers had
told them at some period in the
past a ship was to be seen par
tially buried in the drifting sands
where the Salton Sea now cov
ers the land. This bears out the
statement that the gulf extended
far north of its present bound
ary and was navigable to some
extent.
It Startled the World
when the astounding claims were first
made for Bucklen's Arnica Salve, but
forty years of wonderful cures have
proved them true, and everywhere it
is now known as the best salve on earth
for burns, boils, scalds, sores, bruises,
cuts, sprains, swellings, eczema, chap
ped hands, fever sores and piles. Only

Big Kick in Maiden Lan
A blind horse kicked his way
through to big plate glass win
dows of a jewelry store on the
corner of Maiden lane and Broad
way, in New York City, this
week, and sent $200,000 worth
of diamonds in the window fly
ing into the street. Policemen
had all they could do to control
the crowds which watched the
proprietors and clerks of the
; jewelry establishment pick up
the gems.
Wholesale Deportation
! Tuesday a large delegation of
Chinese, Japanese and Hindoos
passed through Yuma on their.
way to San Francisco for deport
ation. They were under charge
of Inspector Charles L. Beatty.
The Hindoo will be taken to
San Francisco and placed aboard
a ship bound for Hong Kong, eng
route his home in Calcutta, In
dia. Two of the Chinese will
also be taken to San Francisco
and sent back to their native
land. The other eleven Chinese
will not bd so lucky, if they
desired to return to the land of
the Rising Sun, as they will be
taken to San Diego, Cal., and
from there will journey back to
Mazatlan, from whence the Tuc
son office learned they came.
Representatives Reapportioned
Congress has passed a bill for
the reapportionment of Repre
sentatives on a basis of one
member for every 211,877 pop
ulation, in accordance with the
national census of 1910. There
will be 433 members of the House
of Representatives. This is an
increase of 44 members over the
last apportipnment. Reappor
tionment of the Congressional
districts has been left to tlje sev
eral State Legislatures. Arizona
will have one member of the
lower house and New Mexico

White Slave Act Test
In the United States Court at
Tucson J. H. Ramsey, the Yuma
barber, was indicted upon two
charges, one under the White
Slave Act and the other for a
breach of the Edmunds Act
the specific charge being that
Ramsey had induced Carrie Ry
an, a girl sixteen years of age to
become an inmate of a house of
ill fame in Gila street', Yuma,
and for a further violation of the
Edmunds Act, growing out of
the same facts. The attorney
for the defense demurred to the
indictment under the White
Slave Act, contending that the
girl had not been transported to
said house of ill fame in a com
mon carrier conveyance as spe
cificall required under said White
Slave Act. Judge Campbell sus
tained the demurrer. Ramsey
was tried under the charge of
violating the Edmunds Act and
convicted. Judge Campbell will
impose sentence before adjourn
ment of court, the minimum pen
alty being six months imprison
ment. This is the case that attracted
considerable attention in Yuma
last January, when Attorney
Molloy, at the instance ot United
States District Attorney Joseph.
Morrison, instituted proceedings
against Ramsey for inducing the
above-mentioned girl to enter a
house of ill fame in the redlight
district. The girl had been in
Yuma but a few weeks and was
a waitress at the Stage Cafe.
Attorneys Morrison and Mol
loy made a test in this case un
der the White Slave Act to de
termine the intent of the law, as
to whether it makes a difference
as to the manner in which a girl
is taken to a house of ill fame.
The decision of Judge Campbell
is in effect that if the girl is tak
eng in a conveyance used as a
public carrier such, act is a vio
lation of the law, but if a pri
vate conveyance is used, or if
the parties walk, to said house
of prostitution the guilty party
can not be convicted under the
White Slave Act.
