 About election time whether for the municipality or for the terri tory there is what one might call searching of heart among the bpsi-- ness men that is most imprcssive.i sI
 The searching of heart becomes the more earnest because of the na, tural lack of activity that has oyerf taken the camp with the working out of the easily accessible auriferous deposits and the richest paystrcakss When things are blooming; and there are lots of workers. the art Iof9 makii ing 9money by thed abstreeting eproA cess known as keeping a istores usuy5 ally makes the business man pay [, strict attention to his business, and [, he, has no time ofor airy visions of any sort. He efwantsI toI sell his sqshirts or his shoes or his sugar or his steak sand so that he sells. all he wants he is satisfied. But when, the bottom drops out of the camp sfiguratively speaking, when the pay roll is a vanishing quantity and, when there is little call for the variety of goods generously dis played and in most attractive style almost any sort of a vision, how ever airy is invoked to better, con ditions and pipe dream is regard ed as better than no dream at ali-- anything too, is better than the bum reality of things that makes bank ruptcy not remote or impossible proposition at all 4ig,.

 Hence it is number of men arc oven now ,deviging ways, and means of promoting the development of this camp. ss q, and. sF
 The Industrial Worker will for this reason venture to give them some advice which may be consider ed gratuitous but which at the same time is sound as dollar even from their own point of view.
 In the first place they will have t1 cast aside the notion that they can establish the welfare of this camp on any such thing as hot-air. The betdler or the proinoter never yet dhf make al'camp and never wilt t 'fhis camp can De saved only by gathering together what facts there are to be gathered: real facts not mere conjecture about the variety of resources which are known to be exploitable. E NaI
 Almost any person with a vivid imagination can sit down and en
 large upon what he conceives to De possibilities; but these ere Missouri ian days when the people have got to be shown And you simply can not put it over men who have money with a line of con talk these days of skepticism in the investing world
 Furthermore, it VIII, cs' against thih, be urged how then can the people get this camp developed? e-' f'his camp must first make d be- gtnning itself before and first of all. Wa say Chat there's not single proposition which can be thought of today which is not stifl' very much in the prospect stage. While doubt less tmdny have infinite confidence in the fpossibflities of a variety of activities it is simply remarkable that not one of them could be proved worth serious investment Of all mans savings with a clear con science. ta s M l &
 Search any camp that proved 2 great mining camp or a great in Stihstrial center and everyone of them first of all began with itSelf.
