Total for Six Months of Year Is
I" ,322.621.95, Approach-
ing: Total for Twelve
Months of 1903.
Reft! estate transfers for June repre-
•ented valuations of $2,782,589.28, the sec-
ond largest total In the history of Harris
sounty. The amount is excceeded only
hy May, which had a banner total of
I4.A98.173.
June's total brings the aggregate for
the first six months of 1910 to 114.322,-
<121.95. which lacks but about $2,500,000 of
reaching the tot.il for the twelve months
of 1909, $16,874.«20. With six full months
yet to go it Is certain that a stupendous
total will be piled up before January 1,
1911, and that the record for 1909, con-
sidered a record breaker, will be nearly
doubled. ,
June was largely a month of small
deals, although a number In which large
amounts were Involved were consummat-
ed. It was a month of home buying and
buying for sites for renting purposes.
TOTALS VARIED.
For the number of instruments filed,
the month was one of the busiest in the
history of the county clerk's office. The
totals of the different days' transactions,
however, valried widely day by day.
The 'Rannrer day of the month was
Wednesday. June 22, when the transfers
aggregated $300,812.90, while the lowest
dav was the day following, with a total
of but $13,008.45.
Interest continues unabated in suburb-
an property and many sales in this line
were made, while several large acreage
deals, with townsite ideas in view, were
consummated.
The totals for the first six months of
1910, month by month, are as follows:
January $1,123,389
February 1,230,880
March 2,424,562
April 2,063,029
May 4,698,173

a number of prominent democrats in and

complete the establishment of the peo-
ple's rule system of government in city,
State and nation, along with revision of
the tariff and other needed reforms.
"This means the complete annihilation
of the machine-rule system of govern-
ment and relief for the people."
Among the charter members of the fed-
eration are Charles W. Bryan and Rich-
ard Li. Metcalf of the Commoner; Louis
F. Post, editor of the Public; Warren
Worth Bailey, editor of the Johnstown
(Pa.) Democrat; Willis J. Abbot of Illi-
nois, Frederick F. Ingram of Michigan,

resentative Baker of New ^ ork, Archi-
bald McNeil of Connecticut, Obadiah
