The scratchy phonoKrapli in George IlarriHon's Keneral store, meetini? pliioe anil poat office of the com munity, has been drowned out by the raucous tones of the quarter-in-the-slot pinnos of the dance hulls that came like the dew in the night. Ir!c8 of the most necessary com modities have soared. Where before I money conversation dealt in pennies. , nickels and dimes, talk Is now of i hundreds, thousands and hundreds of j thousands of dollars. Kach oil well tapped lias brought : a bigger transi(nt population to the . community and conversation in larger j sn:ns. Kiirmers hav forgotten crops; . ranchers have forsaken stock und : cattle each Is absorbed in the game of getting rich by horing Into the bowels of Mother Karth anil releasing the pentup flow of liquid gold. With the advent of the nil scouts and independent operators has come the Inevitable retinue of gamblers, scarlet women and under-world wolves. Kvery card game known to the frontier, from draw und stud power to three-card monte and rou iette. flourishes. Hundreds and thousands of dollars, made in a day by the qnick turnover of leases near prospective wells and those which have Just come in. are lost nightly on the gamine tables. Hut the cftizens of failing are not worrying. Life to them is strenuous now. hut they know the history of oil and oil communities. They know that within six months or a year the flush of bringing in a new field will have worn off: that the big oil cor porations probably will have cornered the field, and that the wild oil days of 1H-:I will be amly something they can relate to their children and grandchildren, like the World war. Those who came in the night will quietly fold their tents and disappear, hti.-detiing to another sleepy com munity where Mother Earth has given birth to another golden flow which will make men rich.
