"What OF the future OF this
locality?" asks the inqn'rlng
man OF himself or his nelghbor.
The PREss believes that this IS a
logical answer: We can now see
from official and reliable returns
what about 1000 families can do
on a very small proportion oithe
county's 40townships. There Is
room and land for three times the
number OF people now IN the
county. Multiply the present
production by three, and we have
a very fair eatimate OF the pre-
ductive possibilities OF this
county. That this settlement
will come in time no one now
doubts. 1t is the history OF the
country and race. From that
basis may be figured the other
results among them being a
town of three times the present
size OF Miller.

Dowieism was built upon the
individuality of one man. How
could it last? There were Just
about SO many peculiar, cratic
people in this country, with just
about SO much money. When
these people and their money
were gathered into Zion the
limit was reached. Dowie's
plans were for a continued stream
OF people and money. His plans
will never be realized, because
the people and money are not
