AVOID FAKERs.

Almost before the ink had dried on
the first telegram announcing the
discovery Of rich ore in this district,
numerous grating magazines and
periodicals all over the country, had
their representatives busy packing
trunks and grips for a trip to this
district for the purpose of reaping
the rich harvest which long ex-
p~erience ia such matters taught
them was ripe. Since then the in
dustry has constantly increased.
Thousands Of dollars have been taken
out of the camp for writeups and
other advertising matter which was
not worth the time it took to set the
type.
Naturally, it is to be supposed
that in the ours of time, and by the
outlay Of a great deal of money,
victims Of this class of graft would
learn that the only benefit obtained
is I o the CRATER. This is a natural
conclusion, but it is only in part true.
While the mar who is induced to in
vest in that sort Of advertising prob
ably becomes "sadder and wiser by
the experience he refrains from adj
yertising the fact that he has been
tricked, and there are always fresh
victims waiting the arrival Of the
CRATER.
As a matter Of fact, which needs
very little explanation, a writeup or
other kind of advertisement inserted
in n Of the local papers is of more
value than anything the CRATER has
to sell. In reply to this the CRATER
points to his great eastern or west
ern circulation, which is freely ad-
mitted, is greater than that OF the
local publications. For answer to

cupies almost the whole range of
vision Of the public eye, and while
our papers have not tens of thous
ands of subscribers, they go all over
the world, and are naturally read
and quoted everywhere. 1t makes
no difference to the advertiser
whether fifty different people sub
scribe for the paper in which he adj
vertises, or whether fifty different
people read the same paper. His
end has been equally well attained in
one case as in the other, and that is
the case in point. We claim that
our papers reach as wide a field as
do those represented by the grafters
and we claim that by avoiding the
faker and patronizing the home in.
dustry the advertiser is saving
money, running no risk and has the
assurance Of fair treatment.

The new test of the Dallas water
works by committee Of business men
by Mayor Biddle, advertised
to take place Wednesday afternoon,
failed to materialize for some reason
or other. The water company had
everything in readiness for the event.
and many citizens took an afternoon
off to watch the proceedings, but no
one appeared to carry outthe program
arranged by the council, and the
people who had come out to see the
water squirt were doomed to disap-
pointment. 1t is not probable that the
council will take any further action
in the matter.
