Where was his empire? How did it rise? What made it fall? Well, hunt around in the encyclopedias and books of reference and the following, In "Who's Who in America, 1916-17," is the most you are likely to find anywhere: Miller, Henry, stockman, b. Bracken helm, Wurttemburg, ' July 21, 1827. Came to United • States 1847. m. Sarah Wilmartlt Sheldon July 10, 1860. Was butcher in Washington Market, I. Y., 2847-50; went to San Francisco 1850; Worked in meat market 1850-1; started on his' dten account 1851; with Charles Lux, started fy cattle business 1857. They acquired 800,- $00 acres in California, besides other lands ia Oregon and Nevada, and at one time had 80,• 000 cattle and 100,000 sheep. Mr. Lux died to 1887 and the business was incorporated* Mr. Miller retaining large interests. Home, •' 2101 Laguna at Office, 1814 Merchants' ' change building, San Francisco. <* This is the Miller and this was his empire. It rose because Miller had genius--the genius of taking pains--and an aim that refused to be diverted. It fell because Miller died October 24, 1916, and it Is against public policy that the vast estate should be allowed to remain intact. It Is therefore being broken up and sold piecemeal to the highest bidders. The foregoing biography--or autobiography,* rather--is said to hare been written by Henry Miller himself. It may be the truth and nothing bat the truth, but it is far from being the whole truth. Anyway, it Is a bit skimpy as the "life story of a penniless German boy immigrant who acquired a million acres of land and accumulated a fortune of $40,000,000. It can hardly be said to give much of an idea of the processes'by which a butcher boy could leave behind him the largest area of land ever assembled under one ownership In this country. And it is eloquently silent of tike methods by which he survived and prospered -while other "Range Barons" and "Rattle Kings" toppled from their thrones with the coming of the homesteader and the farmer. In short, there « Is considerable to be read between the lines of Henry Miller's laconic autobiography. Well, to begin with the beginning, Henr-f Miller -was christened Helnrich Mueller. He was the son of a cattle dealer and got seven years of , schooling. At fourteen he went to work for his ifather. He got ten thalers for his first year's work. Thereupon he left home. He went 'to iHolland, then to England ancf Arrived in New iTork at twenty. He had saved enough as a ibutcher to be able to buy a passage to San Francisco when the gold stampede set in. He reached there with $6 and went to work at his trade. He never wasted a minute in looking for gold. He saw there was more money in feeding those who found gold. Cattle were plentiful in California; under die Mexicans the export of hide*! and tallow had b&en 'the chief business of the region. Land was plentiful, too. Under the land laws It could be had ;for a song, if one went at it in the right way. 180 Miller took to himself a partner, Karl Luchs, another young German Immigrant, and started out 'to acquire cattle and land. Charles Lux figureik only Incidentally In the story; Henry Miller was the empire builder. Miller got his cattle by boylag them and raising them. , Miller also bought much land as the years went oa. But old-time Californlans say that In his early years Miller got land in various ways besides direct purchase. Cowboys filed homestead claims to sell out to him. One story is that he mounted a boat on a wagon and drove over thousands of acres in the San Joaquin valley, later acquiring much "submerged land," over which he "Tode in a boat." fcflller, of course, did not overlook the importance of water, though Irrigation In those days had not been dreamed of by Californlans. He acquired riparian rights along the San Joaquin river wherever he could by homesteading and by purchase. He also secured water rights in other ways. One of these was the patenting of "miners' inches" for mining purposes; the process served equally well for watering stock and irrigating laiid. Later many attacks were made on his watt* rights. He kept lawyer* under retainer all -r along the river and more than once used armed cowboys. The state supreme court sustained most of his water rights. Miller began the building of his empire by pur* chasing 1,700 acres near Gllroy, about T5 miles south of San Francisco. /Later he expanded this to 30,000 acres and made it his home ranch. As profits accrued, he put the money back into land, cattle and sheep. By 1886 the operations of the partners had reached their peak. They owned attout 800,000 acres in California and had large holdings in Oregon and Nevada. "I once thought that. I should own the whole state of California," said Miller, about 1905. "I would have owned half of It, had I not made the mistake of buying in Oregon and Nevada, and my son, if he had lived, could have bought the other half." It was In 1886 that Miller and Lux had 80,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep. For years their annual sale of meat had averaged $1,500,000. They had ' organized water companies, had laid out town sites and had built towns. They had constructed roads and irrigation canals and ditches. The ranches were famous as models. Miller spent most of his time in their inspection. Each ranch had a foreman, with three sub-foreman for cattle, sheep and farming. Every group of ranches had a general manager. There was a general superintendent of the sheep interests. But no-, 1 body ever doubted that Miller was the boss. At each ranch was a bedroom for the boss, kept in perfect order for his coming, which might be night or day. He usually traveled in a buggy behfnd a fast team; at eighty-five he frequently drove * 50 miles In a day. . Miller's men were well fed and well lodged. The superannuated were pensioned. He was liberal and he demanded efficiency In return. He gave his foreman practically a free hand; the, man who "made good" could have anything within reason. Order, neatness, cleanliness were Miller's watchwords. At one ranch he became Interested, in a flock of newly-hatched chicks. On his next visit he asked for them. "The rats got 'em," said ,the foreman. "Bats are a sign of decay," remarked Miller. Shortly afterward that foreman was looking for a Job. Charles Lux died In 1887. Thereupon the buslnest was Incorporated. Miranda Lux, his widow, took half of his million-dollar estate. The other half went to four brothers and sisters of Lux In Germany, and another brother, Henry Lux of San Jose. Henry Lux died in 1902, leaving his fifth share to his three children. Miranda Lux left a. son by her first husband; he left a widow and a son. By and by these claimants began to press Miller for an accounting and for larger dividends. The autocratic old empire-builder resented this "interference" and toe* his battle into the courts. His only ally was his son-in-law, J. Leroy Nickel, who had married Nellie Sarah Miller. Miller's first move was to allow the California corporation to lapse through nonpayment of license fees. He then reorganized a $12,000,000 corporation under the laws of Nevada. After much litigation, in 1910, he agreed to a five mlllion-dollar bond issue through the Bank of California to : enable him to purchase outright all the Interests of the 2t heirs of Charles Lux in Germany and the United State*. This gave Miller absolute control of all the vast property. The next five years were practically a continuous battle in the courts over boundary claims, water rights and other matters. Upon the death of Henry Miller in 1916 at Gllroy a new struggle began. When his will was filed for probate It was found that the bulk of the estate had been transferred to a trust created in 1913, in which he held a life Interest and of which his daughter and her husbanT! were trustees. The entire estate was estimated at $40,000,000, and federal and state authorities immediately began proceedings in an attempt to collect Inheritance tax on the full amount instead of on the comparatively small estate set down in the will. The federal government claimed $4,000,000, and California claimed $3,600,000. The amount claimed In taxes by the federal government increased rapidly by penalties. In April of 1918 the claim was nearly $7,000,000. That year there was a decision against the estate; the property was ordered seized and sold at auction. An Injunction was granted by a federal Judge to allow Nickel to appeal. In October, of 1918 the estate paid $2,500,000 to the federal government under protest; the remainder of the federal claim is still In contest. A compromise was effected by the estate with the state of California hjr the payment of approximately $2,000,000. Of late there 1ms been a strong popular demand for the breaking up of the vast acreage. It was in response to this demand and also because of difficulties of management that an order of sale has been made by the management of the estate. The big tracts will be cut up Into parcels of 20 acres and up. One of the biggest of the holdings contains ebout 550,000 acres; it Is a 54-mlle stretch along the San Joaquin from Madera north. The Button willow ranch near Bakersfleld contains 105,000 acres, of which 50,000 acres are under cultivation. There are 20,000 acres of orchards In the Santa Clara valley. Henry Miller's will was drawn for the future; tiie real distribution of the estate will not take place until the death of his three grandchildren* Beatrice, George and Leroy Nickel. The latter, the youngest, recently graduated from college. The immediate life estate In the trust went to Mrs. Nickel and her husband, who has taken a leading hand in the management since Miller's death. They were to share and share alike, after paying $255,000 In bequests to surviving relatives of Miller, and his wife and $30,000 to employees. Immediate bequests to charity lueluded a fund of •$15, 000, the proceeds of which were to be distributed on Christmas to the poor of Gilroy, and a similar fund of $25,000 for Miller's native village at Brackenhelm, and $10,000 to the San Francisco Home for Incurables. Fifty thousand dollars is to go to San Francisco charities on the death of J. Leroy Nickel. . Upon the death of the three grandchildren, the ."HiHust is to be dissolved, a new distribution among heirs will take place, and bequests of $30,000 to Las Animas hospital, Gllroy, and $500,000 for medical research will go Into effect. Incidentally, the Lux school for girls in San ifc-anclsco was founded under a bequest in the Will of Miranda Lux. '« Hke many autocratic men Henry Miller was ginerous. Every ranch had these orders: "Feed any hungry man who comes along, and ask no questions. Any stranger arriving at night shall have food and lodging for himself, and feed and •table for his horse, without charge. Anyone needing meat is welcome to kill a calf or a sheep, provided It Is for his own use and, is not to be •old." Many interesting stories are told of Henry Mll- 1of. The ?few York World Magazine gives the following excerpts from his letters tv ranch foremen : "I can stand severe losses where unavoidable, hut losses due to carelessness and inattention are unbearable." "Always compare costs with results." •'Comfort Is as necessary as feed for stock." "A man can't do Justice to his employer on an- OTipty stomach." '"There is a class of people not made to be prosperous. The Instant they have a Jingle In their pockets or a dollar's credit, they are ruined and lose their bearings." "There is hope for a drunkard, but none for a Ukty, slovenly man." The New York Times gives this story of Henry Miller, which would seem to indicate that he had $ lively sense of humor. Jn the Pacheco pass a Mexican whom Miller knew took $200 from him at the point of a revolver. The ranchman gave up the money willingly, hut pointed out to the Mexican that he was a long way from home and would need a little for traveling expenses. Would the robber lend him $20. The bandit handed over a double eagle. ISiree years later Miller met the Mexican in town. Stopped him on the street, and handed him $20. "I owe you that," he said. "I borrowed It from you three years ago!" Whatever may be said of the methods of this German butcher boy Immigrant In acquiring land and water rights and of his ambitions contrary to public policy, it cannot be denied that he achieved a fam^- that will last a long time In California. In fact, with the functioning of his charitable bequests half a century from now, it looks as if the f««mg of Henry Miller will never be forgotten. MEANING OF TERM, SELF-MASTERY K • • -ftffeB Saw a Triumph of Qood Over Evil Principles Existing In Each Man's Soul. h-. ;i ^Temperance is.- I imagine, a kind Of order fend a mastery as men say, over certain pleasures and desires. Thus we plainly hear people talking of a, man's being master of himself in some sense or other; and other similar expressions are used in which we may • " • • v . " . • : • . r \ trace a print of the thing. Bat is not the expression "master of himself" a ridiculous one? For the man who is master of himself will also, I presume, be the slave of himself and the slave will be the master. For thesubject ofothew phrases is the same person. Well, it appears to me that the meaning of the expression is, that in the man himself, that Is, in his aoul, <•, there resides a good principle and a bad, and when the naturally good principle jis master of the bad, this state of things is described by the term'"master of himself"; certainly It is a term of praise--but when, in consequence of evil training, or the influence of associates,, the smaller force of the good principle is overpowered by the superior numbers of the bad, the person so situated is described in terms of reproach and condemnation, as a slave of self, and a dissolute person.--Piatt* Best Crabs From Chesapeake Bay. The Chesar>eake bay blue crab, the largest specimen found along the Atlantic coast, is considered the best. While these crustaceans were very plentiful a few years ago, it is becoming evident that unless a "dosed season" is declared they will become as rare and high priced as terrapin. The little pea crabs, found within oyster shells, are considered a delicacy, while the cancer magister, the large crab of the Pacific coast. Is extensively used for food in that part of the country.
