The Oklahoma Craze.

The mania for land was curiously Illus
trated by the rush of settlers and specula-
tors upon the opening Of now lands in
Oklahoma, says Henry j. Fletcher in The
Atlantic An immense multitude left
homes In dozen states and flocked thith-
err by rail- in wagons, on horseback and
on foot, canlped out for weeks and months
along the borders Of the promised land,
suffered all kinds of privations and raced
madly across the line when the gun was
fired, only to find that there wero ten COM
potitors for every quarter section, and the
land, when they got It, far inferior to that
which they left behind. The unsuccessful
ones eked out miserable existence as
long as they could In the mushroom towns
and finally drifted forlornly back to the
surrounding states
Many western towns deliberately intox-
icated themselves in imitation Of their
ncighbors. Prices were forced up by
means Of brass band auctions and artificial
excitement Raw villages on tho prairies
INDUCED In rosy dreams of greatness, and
gaslights twinkled where the coyotes
should have beeh left undisturbed. Every
city and town in the regions chiefly af-
fected by the great boom contained
families impoverished by the collapse. 1t
had it's root in tho true spirit Of gambling
and has borne its legitimate fruit. --,,.,.
