ScRcELY CAN we pick up first class
magazine or newspaper that we do not
see in IL the advertisement Of one or
more land schemes, plans OF invest
ment development companies and
similar devices to which the public is
asked to subscribe. As general rule
the assets Of these companies consist
OF large tracts of land in some out-of-
the-way place where lands are compar-
atively cheap and worthless and are
likely to remain so. But this Is adj
vaneed as an argument that they are
becoming the most valuable and deslr-
able. We arc told that the country Is
filling up, that every foot OF land will
be needed, that the great value Of To-
eulities have just been discovered.
They lie on the projected route Of
some imaginary railroad that is sure
to be built near some landing on a
river whichis yet to become noted, the
place is fast filling up, lots are selling
rapidly, do not miss this, the turning
point OF fortune, will give special
opportunities, and special rates, those
who come along first get the prefer
ence, dividends are presented almost
Immediately, they are to be realized
from sales of land, profits Of industry
not yet established, and many other
equally uncertain sources. All is con
tingent on getting up boom; II that
succeeds well and good, If it fails the
bottom drops out and all is lost.
We do not refer to this to discouarg,
anybody, but rather to encourage
them to look before they leap, t
think twice before they act once. Som,
of these schemes may DO good ones
but they are not all good. Some o
them are coming to grief continually
and those who have money to spent
in suehventures had better keep level
headed and move cautiously.

August tomorrow by sitting at New
Castle city, for the reception Of
taxes, but he will still sit in Whining

seven to nine o'clock to give Whining
ton taxpayers every facility possible
for paying. Poll taxpayers who have
heretofore had difficulty in paying
their taxes on account of having been
engaged at labor, need now lose no

them every opportunity requisite. We
hope they will avail themselves OF
these opportunities and go and pay
their own taxes. and then there will be
