The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-03-19

The Industrial agents of the prin-
cipal railways of the southeastern
states gathered at Chattanooga,
Tenn, the other day for a two days
conference, for the purpose of pro-
noting immigration to the south
east. During the last three or four
years, as is shown by statistics CON-
piled by the railways, more north
erners and westerners have settled
in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and
neighboring states than at any
other period in the history of the
country, and the roads believe that
if the natural advantages offered
by,these states were more generally
known, the flow of immigration
would be more generally augmented
To this end, the industrial agents
propose to inaugerate a systematic
and wide spread propaganda of the
inducements offered by the south
east to agriculturists, manufactur-
ers and business men in general.

Progress of Irrigation.

At the time of the passage of the
irrigation law, we had an irrigated
area in the arid region Of the United
States of approximately eight mil
lion acres, a larger area than that
artificially watered in any other
country except British India; and
while no lands have as yet been
watered, and in all probability no
considerable acreage will be for the
next two years under national prof.
ects, yet irrigation reclamation by
private enterprise has not been
retarded by the passage of the act,
but on the other hand, as was an
ticipated, seems to have received
an impetus therefrom. The census
bureau estimates that an approx
mate of 9,2OO,0 900 acres were under
irrigation in July of last year.
This is an increase since the irri-
cation season Of 1899 as reported
in the census of 1900 of 1,660,455
acres, an increase which, if contin-
ued, will double our irrigated area
of 1900 by means of private enter
prise, in thirteen y~ears.-National
Magazine.

BIG COAL SHIPMENT.

Ed. Hughes speaks of our Ignite
industry in the Fargo Forum as it
appears at that point
The weather and other troubles
are subsiding on the Washburn
road and two cars of Ignite coal
from the Wilton mines are coming
into Fargo now every day. I don't
anticipate any more trouble at the
mines. The statistics regarding lig-
mite coal show that three years ago
the total output in the state was
only $4,000 tons. This year, the
Washburn company, with all the
troubles and setbacks, will turn out
100000 tons, and at the rate of
present increase of consumption
there will be a total output of at
least 100000 ton two years hence.
From July '02 to July 'O3, there
were 900 cars shipped to Fargo.
