TOWNS BUILT UP IN A DAY.

Five Hundred Houses Erected Be-
tween Sunrise and Sunset.
The town Of Custer, Colo, named af-
ter the great Indian fighter, came into
existence In a single day. 1t consists
of some 500 wooden houses, all OF
which were constructed between sun
rise aud sunset. Material was shipped
in from factories, whole sections OF
wooden walls, beams, joists and roofs
in two pieces having been made from
carefully prepared plans and exact spe-
ciications.
Each piece of each building was
numbered and laid in order near the
site 1t was to occupy so that 1t could
be the more readily handled. AS In
the building of King Solomon's temple,
oil the pieces were made TO tit into
each other, the work of construction be-
Ing therefore only matter of fitting
the pieces together and driving few
spikes.
The sites had all been cleared and
leveled In advance, and 1000 men In
addition to the settlers were engaged
In building of the town. he largest
| of the houses was a boarding house,
which was two stories high, and shops
were erected for bakers, butchers and
other tradesmen.
In Oklahoma more than one town
sprang up in day. Thomls City was
, q case In point. Indeed, according to
report, it came into being In single
afternoon. Within few hours 5000
persons were comfortably settled and
business was set in motion. A newspa-
per was likewise printed and circulat-
ed among the new community and
big birthday celebration WIS held on
the following day.
Another Oklahoma "boom town"
which ran up like magic Is Snyder. It
was born on Friday. In anticipation
of that interesting event thousands OF
people flocked to the place, among
whom were shopkeepers, land agents
and many others who were anxious to
secure the best sites on the natal day.
ter the town area.
At sunset on the thursday snyder
was nothing but a name, for 1t was
minus houses, railway and Inhabitants.
But soon after sunrise nett morning
fully 10000 persons were on the spot
i. The town was being rapidly mapped
out; the erection of buildings was In
progress; trains were running; a rail
way station had been erected, whil<
, two hotels, three banks and a number
{ Of shops were each doing quite brisl
business.
Almost as marvellous was the crea

Public Ownership on Large Scale.

Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alder
ia, Canada, are working out plans for
government ownership of telephones
and telegraphs and for municipal own
ership of street cars, light, power and
water plants. So great are the
amounts of money involved in con-
templated purchases of private plants
that conservative bankers are alarmed
at the prospect.

UNCLESAM'SWEALTH.
LATEST REPORTS SHOW IT TO
Be lO7 BILLION DOLLARS.
Increase From 1900 to 1904 UnparaI.
IeIed in Our disqualification Has
Not Kept Pace-Has Increased
Since 1850, but not in Proportion
to the Amount of Property.

The following report Of the wealth
of the United States has just been
given out:
The total estimate Of the national
wealth in 1904 was $1O7, 1O4 ,192,4 10, &C.
cording to a special report issued by
the census bureau on wealth, debt and
taxation, which represents an increase
in the four year period from 1900 to
1904 of $1S,588, 8S5,635. This advance
in national wealth has no parallel in
the history of the United States ex-
cept the decade from 1850 to 1860. In
1850, when The first estimates of the
national wealth were made, the fig
ures were only $7,135,7S0,228. The
most potent cause for the increase in
the nations wealth from 1900 to 1904,
it is stated, was the reaction from the
low prices of the period of depression
from 1898 to 1896. The annual in
crease of wealth per family from 1890
to 1904 was $1S2.
Debt Of This Nation.
The total public Indebtedness of
continental United States in 1902
was $2,7S9, 990,12O; and the total per
capita Indebtedness, $3.50. The total
Indebtedness for the national govern
ment for the same year was 1925, oil,
637, and the per capita indebtedness
was $11.27. The Indebtedness of the
United States is it's gross Indebtedness
less cash in the treasury. The total
Indebtedness of continental United
States in 1890 was $1,7S9, 112,S42, that
of the national government was $751;
912,752, and the per capita was $31.7t
and $3.50, respectively. In 1902 the
annual interest charge on the public
debt of the continental United States
is shown to have been approximately
$115, 206,558, or an annual payment Of
$1.46 for each individual.
Debt of Other Nations.
In Great Britain the per cavital in
debtedness of all classes, national ant
local, was 3.S 1893 times of the United
States; France 4.S6, and in Italy 2.25
The assessed valuation of property
subject to advalorem taxation has in
creased from 1850 to the present time
but it has not kept pace with the in
crease in the actual national wealth
The total assessed valuation of prop
erty in 1902 was $35, 1888, 1893, while
in 1890 it was only $25, AIS. Th'
estimated true value of all property il
1902 was $97, $40, 749,59O, against SOS,
O37,091,O S5. The total levies of al
valorem taxes was, in 1902, $724,736
539, and the tax rate per 500 of esti
mated true value, WA.
The net Indebtedness Of the countr,
was slightly less at the close than a
the beginning of the year. In the cas-
of the national government, states an
territories and counties, the receipt
exceeded the payments, and at tn
close of the year these government
had smaller net Indebtedness than a
the beginning. In the case of mino
civil divisions and especially the larg
cities, the situation was reversed an
the payments for expenditures e1
ceeded the revenue receipts, causin
an increase in net Indebtedness.

NO RED HAT FOR AMERICA.
Although Six New Cardinals Are to BE-
Created.

Rome-The pope has decided to hold
a consistory April Is and create six
cardinals, namely, Mgr. Cavallaria, the
patriarch of Venice; Mgr. Rinaldini,
the papal nuneio to Spain; Mgr. Lor-
enzelli, the ex-papal nucio at Paris;
Mgr. Lualdi, archbishop Of Palermo;
Mgr. Mercer, archbishop Of Malines,
and Mgr. Maff, archbishop of Pisa.
Without voicing the opinion Of any
American prelate it can be said that
the list of new cardinals is disap-
aointment, as the United States con
siders itself entitled to larger repre-
sentation in the sacred college than
it. now has, namely one cardinal.

NOTES OF THE WEEK IN THE SOCIAL WORLD AIfreSCo Concert at the Country
 Club MRS. RANDOLPH IS ELECTED Birmingham Women Take Up Work of Improving Rural School Houses In Jefferson county-Notes
 and Personals.
nRS. RANDOLPH IS ELECTED

Mrs. Richard Randolph has been elect ed president of the Jefferson County School Improvement association. Her ac- ceptance has been received very joyfully, as she had 1t under consideration for sev- eral days. Mrs. J. D. Matlock chairman of the school improvement work, Is par ticularly gratified that Mrs. Randolph has consented to take charge of the work in Jefferson county.
 The result of the school improvement work in this city has so transformed the school buildings that only Il glance Is necessary to- convince the public of the importance of the work. In a short time so much has been accomplished that the cerest congratula ton.
 The work of improving the country schools in Jefferson county will be great CT and more difficult of accomplishment. The inaccessiblity must be taken Into con- sideration and many other obstacles make 1t doubly hard to get the work started at all systematically.
 Mrs. Matlock and Mrs. Randolph held a conference recently when some of these difficulties were discussed. Mrs. Randolph Is greatly interested in the work. She will appoint a secretary and begin to in- terest individuals in various communities in regard to organizing local associations, who will undertake the work of improve ment
 Mrs. Randolph Is especially familiar with conditions in the mountains at Blount Springs, having spent many sum- mers at her cottage there, and she real izes that here in Jefferson county there is a great deal that can be done in mak- ing the rural schools less bare and un- attractive. She knows that transforma- tion can be brought about only through the organized efforts of the individual communities and through correspondence and personal visits whenever possible, she hopes to improve the environment of the rural school houses in this county-too long neglected.
 Within a stone's throw of the city s limits there are school houses that show utter neglect. The grounds about them are uncared for. weeds are allowed to senting a most unsghtly appearance. The interiors are entirely devoid of anything even bordering on attractiveness
 In localities where the school improve ment associations have been organized transformation has been wrought in a short time, and what has been accom- plished so far is most encouraging. but what has been neglected Is a subject for reflection.
 Mrs. Randolph does not expect all the schools or communities in Jefferson coun- ty to organize improvement associations simultaneously. She knows that time is required to get even a few individuals started on the work in their respective localities. But she is most hopeful that the work in this county will be organ ized in the coming year.

ROAR OF SELLING ON
 CONDITION REPORT
COTTON KNOCKED DOWN $2 A BALE WHEN THE ESTIMATE OF OVER 70 IN CONDITION IS AM
  NoUNCED.

New York, June IA drop of about $1. 9 a bale in the price of cotton as quoted on the New York exchange followed the announcement of the government crop report, showing the estimated condition of the crop to be better than 70 per cent. Weakness of the market before the pub llcation of the governments report had already sent the price down to about $1 a bale so that at the low point quotations represented a decline of more than s2 a bale from the closing prices of last night.
 Members of the exchange were awaiting the announcement of the government re- port apparently with heavy orders to sell if the condition was better than 70 per cent. Various private reports showing the condition to be much lower having been circulated for a few days.
 The utterance of the figures ''7O'' from the rostrum over the pit was the signal for a roar of selling. July, which opened at 11.65, went to 11.34 October. opening at Il ss went to 11.75, and January, which opened at 12.0S to 11.70.
 After the first rush of selling, and when operators had time to consider the acre. age, which showed little change from last year, buying was resumed in great strength as business progressed, and prices were carried to within 10 to Ii points of last night'es closing fgrues. This was followed by renewal of weakness. and closing prices showed net loss of IA 10 p points from last night.
 Sales were estimated at S00,000 bales.
