There are many causes in and around
Clayton for the building and maintenance

these is the healthful location.
Another is the social and moral environ

wealth and influence of the citizens OF
the town and community. These things

OSCAR r.. REILLY. deal of money
since 1859 by ascertaining where the
good towns along the line of a new rail-
road are to be located, but the rapid
march of civilization has caused IAN
awful slump in the town site bust
ness, and he mouxns the departure OF
the old bonanza days.
Reilly, who is now resting among the
orange and lemon groves of Glendora,
Cal. is we'll known by thousands of set
tiers in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
the Dakotas. He began town sitting
when the Central and Union Pacific
railroads were opened, and his odd ex-
periences would make an entertaining
volume.
''For the past ten years" he says
with his characteristic modesty. ST
have not failed to call the turn on any
railroad town in the west. It has got to
be a second nature to, me TO lay down
the map of projected railroad and put
my finger on the location of town site.
When I 60 into a new country, just
look the ground over for several days
and soon come to the conclusion where
the town ought to be. The nearness of
running water, the depth to which wells
must be sunk to get drinking water and
the looks Of the soil and the lay of the
rolling hills, if there are any, all have
much to do in fixing town site along
a railroad on the plains. 3" 81.
In 1880 Reilly located Claremont,
Kan, but the railroad engineers, despite
his protest, ruined his scheme by max
ing a station four miles beyond. The
railroad had not been running two
weeks before Claremont began to move.
Everything was on Wheels" says
Reilly. 1.-The hotel was first, and then
the saloon and blacksmith shop skipped.
Pretty soon the schoolhouse went and
then the private houses. The last time
I was down there not a building re-
manned that could be moved. -
