ANOTHER EDITORIAL

We understand that several real estate firms in this town have combined to get up a boom and make things jump, declares an American newspaper editor. In fact, they offered us a halfadvt, for tins week, but wo did not take it. As an individual we might cheat a man from Omaha at poker hut as an editor we can't bo hired oil to help swindle our subscribers. In order to off-set the machinations of tins syndicate we wish to say : We have the fog-end of our railroad line, and neither want nor will get anything more. ~ Society is not cultivated. buch a thin" as'a toothbrush or a volume ot poem's found on a man here would bang mm. The land around the town is so poor that it takes nine feet of it over a dead mule to hold the carcai* down. U is not a trade centre. >\e have Digger Indian on three sides of us, and a large family of coyotes or. the fourth. The climate wobbles nil over creation, making the demand for buffalo-skin overcoats and linen dusters about equal and mighty steady. It is not a sanatorium for invalids. Tf the climate didn't kill 'em, our doctors would. ix! This is about all, hut enough to put our i-übserib.Ts on their guard and to clear our conscience if our advice is not taken. Now, gentlemen of the combination, go ahead with your hoonikt.

Customer : '' That watch you sold me the other dav docs not keep good time." Dealer: "It isn't the fault of the watch. Haven't you heard people say that times are vcty bad just uoir?"'
