About the Work Itsef-Its
MakinG and Its Scope

No work IN the world of boollmaking was
so carefully planned or so ably executed as
the Century Dictionary and Encyclopedia
and Atlas. The story of it IS interesting.
1t begins over sixteen years ago, when it
was decided to produce a reference work
along entirely original lines that should be
complete and uthoritative-absolutely not
following the mistakes or methods of its
predecessors. Each word and fact that
went into the volumes was traced back and
proven, in order that the work, in its
minutest details, should be the ''authoritv
of authorities. The task was a giga-
one, involving the incessant labor of moe
than five hundred of the worlds greatest
specialists.
Each item as it was received was passed
upon by committee of experts and sub
jected to the closest scrutiny and the most
thorough search. Money was expended
without stint in exchange for truth. When
all was gotten together system of classif-
cation was devised, as comprehensive as It
was simple, and a radical departure from
the methods of heretofore. The illustra-
tons were produced with as much care as
the reading matter, every one of the more
than eight thousand plates being absolutely
correct as well as superbly executed.
Finally, when all the ten volumes were
completed according to the original plan,
they were revised throughout, brought down
to date, with much new matter added.
This revision has just been finished. and it
is this newly revised edition that is being
sold through the Wanamaker Club.
THE MOST EXACTING STUDENT
finds in the volumes all there is to know about the sub
ject of his research-inds it, in long cubrous and

AAO" S/>C VIZ
GVRy came to
WANAMAkER'S
The club plan of selling
books was pioneered and per-
fected by us. During the last
four years we have distributed
through the Wanamaker Book
Clubs special editions of three
important works-at prices
very much below the usual.
Each was a more-than-expect-
ed success-which showed us
you wanted them - wanted
equally the books, the price
saving and the comfortable
payments.
In selecting work for the past years
book club. popular demand made it clear
to US that what was wanted was dictionary
and cyclopedia. The question of choice
was simple one. for the Wanamaker plan
admits of selling only the one best work of its
kind. That meant the Century Dictionary
and Cyc!opedia and Atlas. But there's
another part to the Wanamaker plan of
bookselling: After the one best is selected,
the price must be popular one; and the
cost of producing the Century has made it
necessarily rich mans work.
Negotiations were at once begun, how
ever, for we had some strong arguments in
favor of a radical price reduction, notably
the immense distributing power of our book
store-then the vast popularizing influence
in favor of the Century that our wide distri-
button of the volumes would procure for it
and no less than these the fact that the
Wanamaker name was guarantee enough for
quality not to permit an impression of cheap
ness to attach itself to the work on account
the Wanamaker Club.
This is the Result of the
Negotiations ~ ~ ~
We secured an entire edition of this ''au-
thority of authorities;' secured it in its
newly revised and completed form. 10 VOL
umes, with all departments thoroughly gone
over, added to, corrected and brought down
to date-secured it, too, at such figure as
would enable US, through the Wanamaker
Century Club, to cut the price squarely in two,
and not only that, but the half price that's
left was divided into monthly installments
that figure only 10 cents day, with the
complete set delivered to members on re-
ceipt of only $l.OO.
1t was expressly stipulated in that agree
ment that no more sets would be furnished lis
after Our one edition was exhausted. Some
of our friends last year delayed-prices
were raised-and there was disappointment.

The gauging OF
THE SOUTH streams in the South
LENDs Atlantic and other
< HAND. southern states by the
government may not
seem a matter OF importance or
interest to the people of the arid re-
gion OF the West, nevertheless it is
likely to be means of helping them
materially. For years the West has
had 10 make its light for irrigation
surveys alone, with but little assist
ance from Senators or Congressman
east OF the humid line; il was mat
ter in which they had little interest
though some OF them might recog-
nize the justice Of such appropria-
tions. But during recen; years the
people OF the south, where manu-
featuring enterprises have been
springing up Ike mushrooms in the
night. have come to realization OF
the importance and necessity OF the
work OF the Geological Survey, es-
pecially in its measurements and
gaugiug OF streams available for
power to be used in manufacturing
plants.
And so now, when the question
arose the other day of allowing an
increased appropriation to the Geo
logical Survey for irrigation survey
ing and investigation in the semi
arid and arid West and for stream
gauging in all the states, those who
always take occasion to oppose such
appropriations, suddenly found
lined mp against them Southern
Senators who expressed their de-
termination to cooperate with west
ern representations in behalf of this
needed government work. The
vigorous words OF Senator Butler Of
North Carolina in the United States
Senate in favor of this appropria-
ton show that the manufacturing
sections OF the south highly appre-
ciate the value of this work and
that kenceforth they will sympa-
thetically join hands with the arid
region to procure necessary national
legislation along these lines.

monrezumA's FERTILE VALLEY.
More Land Und.r Cultivation Than Ever Be-
fore and Everything Exceedingly
Encouraging.

From the Telluride Journal.
with each recurring season 1t becomes more
apparent that the Nontezuma valley IS des-
tined to develop into the most productive and
substantial agricultural and fruit growing re-
glon In Southern Colorado.
Circumstances have conspired to delay it's
development. but the hIndrances are being
gradually overcome and the resources OF this
favored region becoming better understood
and more thoroughly appreciated.
Chief among the drawbacks with which the
settlers have had 10 contend is the distance
from market for thsir products and an in
sufficient water supply. The former is being
overcome. Hanchmen are steadily accumu-
latinx growing lunches of stock to which
they feed their alfalfa. oats. etc. The increased
demand FOR flour In the adjacent mining
ca mps has created market for this commod-
ity that has cleaned the valley completely Of
last years wheat crop; n growing demand for
oats and other feed stuffs In bringing out the
fact that the valley has an abundance, and
more is being shipped to the mountain camps
than ever before. Az a result OF these condi-
iions there is very little Ieft over this spring
in the way Of fodder. where heretofore each
spring has opened with immense Kicks OF al
f,lfa. the unconsumcd product OF the previous
vail. The ranehmen nre now In condition
where they can feed this to their cattle, con-
verting them Into beef for the spring market,
and II they have not sufficient OF their own TO
consume the fodder In stock they can. and do.
60 out and purchase moro. Tho result OF
this is that the pusi spring beef buyers have
found IN Moniezuma valley some Of the very
best punches " beef cattle to be had. And
the supply OF local beef already .cunt In Ina.
coming more 10 each year ~ the mining
camps, dependent upon the adjacent valleys
for sustenancc. multiply and increase Ia pop
uIa;ion.
The growing Of feed stbrs. heretofore the
