The selectmen of Ipswich think
there is more than one way to do a
thing. The law of the city provides
that the selectmen may make repairs
on the city hall without vote; but a
vote is necessary to build new city
hall. Three years ago vote on the
subject was had, resulting in a defeat
whereUpon the selectmen raised the
old city hall up sixteen feet and put
under brick foundation, and added a
building two stories high in the rear
as part of the repairs; the total
amount of the repairs was $4,000.
Next year it is proposed to repair the
city hall by removing the old part
and replacing it with new material.
The original hall was worth $400.

TO BE OWNED IN ASTORIA.

An Astoria built boat to ply be-
tween here and Portland carrying
passengers and freight is talked of.
1t is believed that such q boat as the
traffic requires could be built and
equipped for $4,000. 1t is also be-
lieyed that the business, rightly man.
aged, would be a profitable one. The
question to be considered is how the
capital would, could or should best be
raised. 1t has been suggested that a
joint stock company be formed and
the necessary funds be secured in that
way. Whether the apparent profit
would be sufficient to ojustify any one
or two men to go into it, is for those
who have experience in such business
to determine. At first glance it looks
as If this were entirely a matter
for private or individual capital
to consider. 1t may be argued that
if any one thinks he sees chance for
profit in an enterprise of this nature,
he would individually invest all the
required capital, in hopes of making
all the resultant profit. Nevertheless,
cooperation in such things is not un-
usual and when rightly managed is
uniformly successful.
Aman may have the practical knowl-
edge and experience and not be pos
sessed of the capital necessaryto prop
erly project the enterprise. and with the
partial aid of others he could create a
business that would be of general use
and value. That such combination
will be effected is very probable, and
that it viii be permanently prosperous
is almost equally so.

The LEADER is emincntly correct when
1t says that booms are not desirable. A
Wichita man who wrote to us lately made
the rather emphatic assertion that
blooms are an invention of the devil. i"
Blooms are not necessarily an indication Of
prosperity; and they are always a sign Of
inflated values. A boom is like a fever's
heat which burns for a while as though
with a consuming fire ami leaves the
patient weak and exhausted. Cheyenne
is to-day n victim of booms in the past,
and although she is recovering from their
reaction she has had an experience which
her business men will not fail to profit By.
Laramie Boomerang.
Cheyenne is OF seeking and does not
want a boom in the sense the word is
usually used, But there are booms and
booms. We do not desire that sort of
boom which is simply the outward ex-
preston of n dropsical initiation of real
estate prices. Any boom which places a
fictitious valuation upon property and sets
the price FIVE years ahead of the growth
of a community is not desirable, for reac.
tiop is inevitable and somebody must be
TtNtiIl9 IluNltu III lue Gnu.
But there is a species OF good healthy
boom which is beneficial to every commu-
nifty. Conservatism may be carried to the
extreme of mental and physical drv rot.
The boom which intervenes and furnishes
sufficient healthy stimulation to keep an
inc9ssant forward movement is one that
should be hailed with great joy by every
town in the territory.
We believe the disposition is entirely
too general to hold a town back Just as it is
getting well started in the right direction.
As prosperity begins to dawn some peo-
pie affect to see calamity a short distance
ahead. They fear necessary improve
ment because it may increase taxation;
they are alarmed over an increase in the
prices of real estate for fear it may keep
some people from settling here and yet,
strange to relate, it is always others peo-
pies property that is to high and not
their own.
For our own part VIC have no use for
men who only see the dark side of every
picture. If real estate prices advance,
they are regulated by the same law of sup
ply and demand which regulates all arti
ticles of If the demand is
great and the supply limited prices will
naturally advance. If the prices are out
rareously steep then people will not buy
unless absolutely forced to do so and in
the end the holder of real cst ,to may lose
more than he gains.
Our own Town is now assured of a sub
s%tantial, healthy growth. We have as
good, and perhaps better prospects than
any town of the same size in the entire
West. While We do not believe in over
stimulation, or the initiation Of real estate
prices, we do most emphatically believe
in encouraging the advance movement
now in progress The procession is now
moving. Those who expect to keep up
with it can no longer lag in the rear.
There is work TO be done by every citizen,
and the work Of every citizen will CON
tribute to the advancement OF the whole
community.

For tho uorso,s Comfort.

Several inventions have been made
recently for the comfort Of the horse.
A Missouri man has taken out q pat
emit on an awning which covers a
horse from head to tail. This awning
is sustained while up by poles attached
to the thills. 1t can be folded up and
let down so as to DO disposed of snugly
just in front of tho dashboard. An
other new continuance is an automatic
arrangement which lets tho blanket
fall comfortably upon his back while
standing, and keeps it out of the dirt
when he lies down. And still a third
invention of the past year is a clock
attachment to the feed box, by which
the mess of grain drops down to the
horse at the precise minute the owner
may choose to set it.-True Flag.

Mrs. Potter's ono overweenino taste,
and n on which she spends not a
small portion of the $500 a week that

doesn't seem to care much how or
where she lives or what sho eats or
what she drinks or about furniture,
bric-n-brac or jewelry, but q fine dress

that if she had to pledge all her other
