of the territory named has for several
years been increasing under the direct
influence of this unvarying law of trade.
To the south of Wichita again there is
no other city SO benefited until Calves
ton on the Gulf is reached.
AS an earnest of that which is sure to
come in the near future, and in a
marked way to Wichita, and of this
character of influence, enterprise and
business, and consequent wealth and
growth, some Of the greatest firms of
the cities named have already an
nounced their determination not to be
left in the great trade which is now
coming to Wichita, and which will be
trebled and quadrupled, dozen times it
may be with the opening of the territory.
While this article has been written by
us as kind of reply to certain COM
munications appearing in these columns
upon the subject of our jobbing trade,
from leading business men, we have
somewhat further illustrated and gone
into details to the end that any average
reader could see and understand what
the EAGLE has tried to make plain for
years; i. e. that barring complete fail
ure of this entire country Wichita, with
her location, prestige, and capital and
wealth will as surely be big link in
the commercial chain of jobbing cities
of this country as that the sun shall con-
tinue to shine and the rains fall.

Statistics collected by Colonel Dawson,
United States commissioner OF educa-
ton, show thatin 1Si5-76 there were 500
colleges in the country, attended by o6.-
243 students, while in 1885 there were
800 colleges, with 1886 students. In
Guiding scientific schools, the attendance
OF students for the respective years were
1921 and Al. 161. In 1S15-16 there was
one student to every 1713 of the popula-
ton, and in 1886 one to every 1890.
Including, again, scientific schools, the
ratio of students to population was one
in 1895 in 1876 and one in 1868 in
1856, These figures show that while
the number of colleges has decreased the
number of students has increased, which,
in the opinion of educators, is onward
progress.

ERECT DWELLING HOUSES.

Our landowners and men Of means
do not have deep confidence in the
boom" or if they have such confidence
they are taking a peculiar course to
show it. 4 year or two ago ITO Rent
was frequent and conspicuous sign
it being encountered in the business
districts and residence quarters, while
the newspapers contained long lists of
dwelling houses for hire. Now you
NAV drive through street after street,
no matter in what section of the town,
and you will fail to find the familiar
legend, and instead of advertisements
offering houses, applicants are asking
through the papers for dwellings. Real
estate agents say they are daily forced
to tell people they have no houses for
rent, and expect none, as all are oocu-
pied, and there are ten applicants for
every house vacated. 1t occurs to US
that about the wisest thing some of our
lsnd-owning capitalists can do is to
build a lot of dwelling houses for rent
Unless this shall be done how are the
people who are rushing in here to be
held? We cannot do as they did in
Southern California-tell the strangers
TO pitch tents and make their homes
under canvass. Then life here is not
what it is under cloudless skies; on the
contrary it possesses features CAL
culated to soon disgust the most en-
thuslastic admirer of the very best
climate. If the strangers cannot find
the shelter which they are willing to
pay for they will be very apt to go on
until they End place offering at least
the hospitality of roof. The indica-
tons point to the coming of thousands
of people within the next six months,
and many of them will remain if
they can find homes in which TO live,
otherwise they will get away from Salt
Lake and the boom az soon as they con-
Yeniently can.
This is matter for the earnest con-
eideration OF the capitalists and land
owners. To keep up the prices, we
must haYe people; re cannot boom"

IT IS announced from Washington
that a Democratic association of that
city is having printed, and will dis
tribute at its own expense, one million
copies of the Presidents message. The
Republicans have been claiming that
the message would be an excellent
campaign document for them, but it
has not transpired that they have been
eager to circulate it among the people.
nor do they rush in now with a propo-
sition to pay the postage. Nor does it
look as if the Democrats were afraid of
the message, when they are going to
the expense of placing it in the hands
Of every voter who can be reached. 1t
will occur to both Republicans and
Democrats before the campaign closes,
that the Presidents message asking
Congress to relieve the people OF the
burden of oppressive and unnecessary
taxation, is about as good an election
eering paper as can be framed.

A WRONG METHOD.

It is respectfully suggested that some
of the real estate agents are not ''toting
fair" wi$a real estate owners. Instance
have been reported like this-the owner
has listed his property at certain
figure, and agreed with the agent as to
the commission; instead OF offering at
the price the agent has added from ten
to twenty-five per cent; If he sells, be
pays the owner the price first fixed
upop, less the commission, and pockets
the remainder; if he does not sell, of
course he gets no commission, and the
owner retains the property. We sug-
eest that this is not right. On the con-
trary it is wrong in two res
poets. In the first place it is
decreasing the chances for
sale, as the higher the price
the less likelihood is there of selling. A
buyer might be readily found for the
price at which the owner is willing to
sell, which is apt to be the fair cash
value of the property, and to deprive
the owner of the right to sell by in
creasing his price is keeping him out of
money to which he is entitled. Again,
if the agent, under such an arrange
ment, obtains more than the seller
asked, the money does not belong to the
dealer, for he acts merely as the agent
of the proprietor. If he apPropriases
the extra cash, he comes very near to
pocketing that which does not belong
to him.
If the agent thinks the property is
offered Tor less than it is worth,
or Iess than he can sell it
for, he should either buy it
outright at the owners price, or ar
range with the latter to try for more
before putting it on the market at the
first figure. Otherwise be has the ad-
vantage OF specializing with another
PERSONS property, without allowing
that other the benefit Of the specula-
ton, and without running any risks
himself. By pursuing this course, the

property listed with them, and can pre-
vent persons who are really anxious to
sell from disposing of; their lots for the
money they require.
We do not say that all, or even
many, of the agents are given to this
sharp practice, but some of them are,
and their piggishness, if not priggish-
ness. has resulted in injury to land
owners in that it has prevented sales of
property for what it was worth and
what the owners are willing TO take for

rect theory that it is none of his bust.

THE BIG BUILDING SCHEME.

It Is grand building scheme which
the Chamber of Commerce has in view,
and which every lover of Salt Lake City
sincerely hopes will be carried through
to success. The plan contemplates the
covering of one of our teu-acre blocks
with structure the like of which can
not be found liz America. 1t will cost
money-a million or more, but it is be-
lisFed that the capital will be well in
vested, for no part of the immense
building would fail to rent. But aside
from the direct returns in the way of
rentals, think of what million dollar
structure would do for Salt Lake d!
The mere announcement that the
building was to be erected would give
the boom a FIVE years impetus, and
bring millions of capital here. The day
that the foundation stone shall be laid
will develop schemes with money back
of them, for the investment of ten
dollars in permanent improvems nts for
every dollar that the Commerce Block
will cost: and the erection of the pro-
posed building will add millions to the
aggregate market value of the town real
estate.
It seems big undertaking for a
town which has been content with in
significant structures of adobe and
woHd to set out to eclipse all other
towns, and yet we believe the thing can
be done. We know it can if our public
spirited citizens and large property
owners will take interest in the scheme,
and help it to success. All that will be
necessary is a united effort, and there
is no good reason why that cannot be
put forth in view of the fact that all will
derive the benefit in proportion to their
property interests in the city.

A Lake Gone Dry.

Honey lake has skipped. The place that knew it well will now know it no more forever. except from the in- tolerable alkali stencil that rises from the place where once it's waters lay as calm and serene as maiden of l6 or whereabouts. The drying up of the lake leaves uncovered Q stretch of country twelve by twenty-five miles. but whether it will ever become valu- able for farming purposes is considered doubtful. At present the lake bed is covered with Masali from the sixteenth part of an inch to four inches in tn ok ness, and thick growth of salt-grass is bringing up away out from what was once the shore. There are those who are of the opinion that Honey lake will never again fill up. So much water from Susan river Is used for ir- rigaton that very little ever reaches the lake. and the water from Long Valley creek Is all taken ont. Bereft of these supplies. Honey lake will hardly ever be able to show up again at least this Is the idea entertained by settlers along it's shores. .-Lasser' MaI

How to Preserve the Eyesight.

Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness.
 Never begin to read. write or sew for several minutes after coming from darkness to bright light.
 Never read by twilight or moonlight or on dark. cloudy days.
 When reading it is best to let the light fall from above obliquely over the left shoulder.
 Do not use tho eyesight by light so scant that it requires an effort to dis criminate.
 The moment you are instinctlvely prompted to rub your eyes. that mo- nent stop using them.
 If the eyelids are glued together on waking up do not forcibly open them. but apply saliva with the finger. It is the speedlest dilutant in the world, then wash your eyes and. face in warm water.
