American Mariners Garry Guns,
But Not Loaded
IN FLEET PARADE At SYDNEY
Imperial Regulations Forbidding ARM

Spoil Program But Compromise
Was Finally Reached.

SYDNEY. N. S. w, Aug 2O-
There arose today circumstance
which at one time promised to make
it impossible for the carrying out Of
the program Of the parade BY the
American marines tomorrow as plan-
ned. This was owing to the imperial
regulation forbidding the landing of
armed men in Australia. This fact
was communicated to Admiral Sperry
who replied not to permit the men 70
parade unless armed The matter
was compromised by Sperry's agree
ing to land the armed marines but
without ammunition. This enabled
the carrying out of the unakered to-
morrow's program.

Overcrowded.

But II must be said that real estate
prices are beginning to tell another
story. There is already a little sag
ging of the market, a little getting
ready for slump in the future. Every.
body in Rawhide knows, and nobody
better than the real estate men them
selves, that the high prices of the last
sixty days cannot hold very long.
verybody knows that the progress OF
the camp has been abnormal and that
business ventures are precarious until
normal conditions are established.
That is the first great truth that
needs to be proclaimed about Raw
hide. From the business point OF view
It's growth has been altogether too
rapid, its present position is precarl.
Gus: and it will take time to make the
true adjustments. Beyond any ques-
tion Rawhide has at least twice the
population it is able to maintain, and
probably four times or six times as
many people as 1t needs. The great
majority of the people in the camp
have nothing to do and will find moth
ing to do. When they have spent
their small savings, they will drift
ont and others will take their places,
until they too have to 90. The wait
Ing list Is too long"

Night Is as Day.

"All day long and nearly all night
the streets are crowded with vehicles
and pedestrians. Automobiles coming
to rest and discharging loads after
the mad country run to beat the
record time; great twelve. horse teams
dropping their cargoes of lumber and
provisions; brokers and promoters
thicker than flies and harder to get
rid Of; newsboys crying their papers
on every corner; women OF the demi.

crowds In the thronging streets; gam.
bling dens running wide.open and un.
concerned, like any other business Of
the camp; and In and through 1t all q
great mob OF idle, purposeless men
waiting blindly for something to turn
up-the picture Is familiar one to
every observer OF a mining camp. In
all these things Rawhide is typical
and conventional. Its only dstinc-
tions are its bigness and its rapidity
of growth.

Truth About
Rawhide

Just now Rawhide, the new Nevada
m ming camp Is on the boom and news
OF sensational strikes there excites the
restless every where. But while the
camp is great one, 1t holds certain
disadvantages for those who go there.
A portion OF an article from Raw.
hide publication, In which the exact
conditions OF the camp are stated is
Of no little interest, and reads as fol.
lows:
"The camp itself is the natural pro-
duct and expression of this mad rush.
One man describes Rawhide as pan
demonium turned bottom side upward
and stirred up with a stick So might
1t seem at the first bewidcred glance.
1t looks like confusion worse con found
ed. But little study shows that in
all this discord and chaos there Is
movement toward settled conditions.
1t is disorder bringing forth order; it
Is anarchy settling into law; it is Or
ganic creation. The amazing thing is
to see how steadily and resolutely the
new camp shapes itself to the demands
Of normal community life. Perhaps 1t
Is because many OF the pioneers in
Rawhide are men who have followed
the mining camp all their days and
know just how the thing is done. The
secret OF this marvellous cooperation
Is that every man attends to his own
business and allows the same liberty
to his neighbor, and thus they all
move forward together.
