ARE BOOMS DISHONEST.

"There never was an honest boom.
That wild, fierce, constituencies thing
is the creature Of knaves, who. in
older times, would have been highway
men. Just as then the work would
have been done from ambush, so it is
done now The victims never know
they are robbed until it is too late. But
when the knowledge comes, then
curses fly broadcast and good and bad
men suffer alike"
These are the strong words of
writer in the New York Evening Post,
who is watching the Cripple Greek
boom; who says that it will spread
over all the west and will victimize, in
the end. thousands Of eastern invest
ors
1t has been said that the words are
strong. They are unjust. IF the boom
is dishonest. the boomer is dishonest
and that is not the case. The eastern
investor is more frequently the eastern
Spectator He is a gambler, in other
words and he has his own judgment
to blame if he loses. But he never
blames his own judgment. On the
contrary, if he has made can invest
ment," that is, if he has placed his
money on the red or on the black and
loses, he damns the locality where his
loss has occurred instead of damning
his own judgment. If, however, the
eastern Spectator gains in a gambling
speculation. that speculation becomes
an investment and his Judgment"
and not the locality in which the in
vestment is made is given the credit.
The boom is not dishonest" But
it is dangerous thing with which to
trifie. A boom is an excitement, al
ways more or less fictitious in its
causes, almost always disastrous in its
results. All conservatism is lost in a
boom; the thing doomed looSes all the
elements of unitarian value, and ac-
quires a speculative price which for
the time being, while false, offers a
valid profit 1t is little wonder that
men loose their heads. The funda-

rRYING 10 HOLD III DOWN.

The Denver papers are wisely advo-
eating the conservative course in hand
ling mining property. They caution
the public against investing in stocks
based upon mere prospect holes and
advise mine owners 10 develop their
property, and ascertain It's real value
before placing the shares on the mar
ket This is good advice, and, so far
as it is acted upon, viii protect the
public against snide investments. The
newspapers. however, will hardly be
able TO restrain the crowd from run
ming wild very long. Those who
should know better will dump their
money into any sort Of a sink hole
that may be listed on the stock ex-
change. only to realize when IL is too
late that the transaction marked the
parted company. When the craze shall
have run It's course there Will be i'm
precautions without stint heaped upon
the projectors of these wild schemes,
but they are entitled 10 no sympathy.
If these sO-called investments turn out
profitably they fiatrer themselves that
it comes of their own shrewdneSs, but
when il turns the other way somebody
else is a robber. All such dupes might
find the real cause Of their losses in
their own ayarice, rather than heap
abuse upon those who are shrewd
enough TO take them in. A gold mine
is one thing; an undeyeloped prospect
hole is quite another.

SIZE OF OKLAHOMA STATE.

More excitement is in store for Ok
lahoma, anticipating the statehood
convention ar oklahoma City on Jan.
s. 1896 The division on the question
Of statehood in oklahoma is within the
lines OF solid demand for statehood.
The conflict is over the dimensions Of
the future state
AS the matter now stands. accord
ing to the Eagles Information, TWO
calls have been issued for the Okla
homa City statehood convention. One
came from Pawnee and declared for
ten delegates from each county and
the Indian reservation within Okla
homa- The second call for the same
convention is signed by Sidney Clarke
Of oklahoma City, and Is virtually the
same with this exception-thst the call

The whole sist Of the statehood
trouble in Oklahoma Is this: Many
want quick statehood. and believe that
il can only be gained quickly by leav-

properly be the owners of lis soil and
participants in its patents and its
treaties If the argument in favor Of
union is spurned by them 1t is doubt
full if il will meet the attention from
congress. That body may make in
tegral changes but win they advance
so far as 10 perpetually link the fate
OF the nations by a union with a peo-
pie whom the nations reject: II they
do il viii be for other reasons and
because of more potential influences
than oklahoma can WELD or advance.
In this contest Oklahoma has a right
10 press for statehood within its pres
ent boundaries but additions 10 them
must come because of reasons OF more
magnitude than mere desires OF this
territory.

tains. at an elevation of five thousand

tains. at an elevation Of five thousand
feet or more, would increase the rain
fall of the plains in any noticeable de-
gree. The condensing conditions Of
the greater attitudes Of the Rockies
are the best for producing rains, but
the rare atmosphere holds so little
moisture that the summer showers,
though frequent, are very light and
only of a few minutes duration as a
rule The higher points of peaks and
ranges catches the most OF the mois-
ture in the form OF rain or snow. The
clouds that are formed by their cold
currents lack volume and density. The
plains being lower catch no rains ex-
cept from such humidity as is carried
across them from the south and east
by unusual currents Of wind. But Mr.
Baker thinks different, it seems. In
commenting on his bill he says: There
is no doubt IN my mind that if we had
the humidity such as these reservoirs
would give we should also have the
rainfall. If the waters produced by
heavy rainfall were stored in reser-
yoirs made by damming draws in this
way and allowed TO percolate through
the earth the humidity of the atmos-
phere would be increased and we
should have more rainfall. 1t would
also lessen the overflow of the large
streams and decrease the damage done
in that way. In my opinion 100000
expended in dams would do more good
than spending 100000 in the build
ing of dykes and levees on the large
rivers such as on the lower Missis-
Sinni"
