Boise City, Ukla.—When oil Is1 <Jh.cu\ered in nu American coininu-1 liily, curious transformations take place in rapid sequence.

Tile .'too, more or less, happy souls of tills once dreary capital of No Man’s Land plodded along try-1 lag to get a living under dlscourag- j ing condition; from broom corn and ! wheat and cattle. Drenching rains j were hailed as godsends. Mer- j chants led their business away! when depression appeared; where | ,ther£ were no crops there was no j money. The place never had a rep- I utation ns a crop producer; usu-1 ally it was drier than Old Tray’s [ last yenr’s bone. A Bandit Lair. In Wild West days the desolate mesas furnished horse thieves nnd bandits with Impregnable fort resses. When gunfire seemed lin-1 ml nont the outlaws would ascend | the steep, arduous trails to tlie | summits of rocky hills. There they j would stand their ground, nnd since j only one trail led to the summit, tin* pursuing posse of men found It linpossihle to escape the shower of bullets from the top. As long ss outlaws held their summit they were safe. They could dispatch death to halt the ascent of any one who took the trail to them. Where the mesa converged in an effort for fertility, apple and peach orchards relieve the monotonous panorama. The cattle rancher still rules over the hills; farmers have optimistically sown patches of broom corn nnd kaffir. Last summer, when nn oil rig pounded Into the earth there a herd of cattle mooed suspiciously at It. Now that tlie rig is tlie cyno sure of nil eyes ami hundreds of persons visit the well, these cattle have moved farther Into the hilts. All about Is wild country; but this, of course, was of minor Import to the geologists who located the well. Casing and coal would have to come considerable distance, hauled in by truck or team over the trails of ranchers through the fiiut hills. Calm Before Storm.

The word was broadcast over the oil fields of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The little hamlet of No Man’s T.nnd was overrun with visitors. Prices soared overnight. An oil scout asked for tlio check for Ids supper. The proprietor cnlled to the cashier that the bill was about 80 cents. “Pint I had only two fried eggs i and coffee," the customer pro : tested.
