TOWNS BUILT IN \ DAY.
When 500 Houses Were Erected BE-
tween Sunrise and Sunset.

There recently died in London
gentleman who was concerned in per-
haps the most notable instance of
rapid town creation. This was
George Chesterton Cornwell, one OF
the early pioneers of Australian col
onization In Victoria. 1t was half a
century ago that he went out to the
colonies to try his luck. He was
there at the time of the great gold
rush in Victoria and took an active
part in the laying out of Canvas
town, at Emerald Hill. This town
was literally built in day. Incred'
ible as IL may seem, ample accom-
mediation for $4,000 persons was pro.
vided in the space of 20 hours.
The town OF Custer, named after
United States general in Colorado,
came into existence in single day
1t consists of some 500 wooden
houses, all of which were constructed
between sunrise and sunset Mate
rial was shipped in from factories
in the state. whole sections of wooden
walls, beams, ioists and roofs in two
pieces having been made from care
fully prepared plans and exact specl.
| fications.
Each piece of each building was
numbered and laid in order near the
site 1t was to occupy, so that it could
be the more readily handled. As In
the building of King Solomon's tenn
pie, all the pieces were made to fit
each other, the work of construction
being, therefore only a matter of fit
ting the pieces together and driving
a few spikes. Tho site had all been
cleared and leveled in advance, and
1000 men in addition to the settlers
were engaged in the building of the
town. The largest of the houses was
a boarding house, which was two sto
ries high, and shops were erected for
bakers, butchers and other trades
men.
In Oklahoma more than one town
sprang up in day Thomas City
was a case in point Indeed, accord
ing to report, 1t came into being in 6
single afternoon. Within a few hours
5000 persons were comfortably set
lieu anu DuSilSSS was set III lilOtioli
A newspaper was likewise printed ant
circulated among the new community
and big birthday celebration wa!
held the following day.
Another Oklahoma boom town
which ran up like magic is Snyder
1t was born on Friday. In anticipa
ton of that interesting event thou
sands of people focked to the place
among WHOM were shop keepers, lant
agents and many others who wer
anxious to secure the best sites OF
the natal day.
Until then nobody was allowed t
enter the town area At sunset o.
the Thursday Snyder was nothing bu
I a name. for it was minus houses, raj
way and inhabitants. But soon afte
, sunrise next morning fully 10000 pei
, sons were on the spot. The town wa
, rapidly mapped out; the erection @
: buildings was in progress; trains ver
3 running; a railway station had bee
J erected; while two hotels, thre
i. banks and a number of shops wer
. each doing quite brisk business.

Of the town, a field which he was able
to point out from the boat, he saw
issuing from the liss troop of little
people one being distinctly taller

rather blurred, then took distinct
shapes and began to play the nation
al game of hurley among the bare po-
tato rigs. He called Sullivan's atten-

friend could not sec them, then said
he could, and they watched the game
together for q time. Then the sun

PLAIN TALK TO POLICE.
Father Chidzcick AdUises Them at
annual Services.

The Rev John p Chadwick. chaplain of the
Police Department, in the of a sermon at the
annual services for the police in St. Patrick :
Cathedral yesterday. denounced what he called
the hypocritical public opinion which strengthens
and backs up a wholesale condemnation of the po-
lice force" He said Too often the finger Of
scorn be placed upon ourselves-the depart
ment-but that is due to the presence of black
legs, who to be found not only in the Police
Department. but in every association"
The sermon caused considerable discussion among
the police yesterday. Father Chdwick's text was
from Ezekiel. xxxiii. Isl and he emphasized this
verse If the Waterman sound his trumpet and
the people look not - themselves, and a soul be
taken from among them, the blood shall be upon
their own heads"
that you are not only accountable to the people,
but you also accountable. first and foremost,
TO Almighty God. The people may elect, men may
appoint but once the person who is selected comes
into position official authority is responsible
for the acts in that control to God"
Vigilance, courage and sincerity. the preacher
said should be the chief characteristics of po-
lceman.
How do you measure up to these standards" he
