ADVERTISING NORTH DAKOTA.
The state agricultural department,
which also has charge of the imigra-
ton work of the state is now busy
making preparations for the summer
work, and intends to cover a wider
field of operation, this year, than ever
before.
A large sectional wall map of the
state size 3ex40 is in process of pre-
paration for the printing press. It
will be up-to-date in every respect,
showing the proposed new line of
railroads and the late post offices that
have been established. Around this
map will be given agricultural statis-
tics, the number of acres of land in
each county as we'll as the number
that are assessed. It will also show
the estimated population of each city
and town for the year 1909. 1t will
contain brief sketch of every state
institution, as well as those other than
state. 1t will give the educationl land
department, and banking statistics, and
brief statements as to the irrigation
projects mineral developments, and
such other facts and figures as will
be of interest both to the resident as
well as to the non-residents of the
state, and will include the dairy pro-
auctions, number of post offices, banks
government lands in fact it is design
ed to be as complete as it is possible
| to make it.
Another feature of the work is the
production of a booklet devoted to ILL
| ustrations of the states public institu-
tons showing them as they actually
exist and not colored by the hand of
skilled artists. The object of this
work is to demonstrate to the world
that North Dakota is not behind her
sister states when it comes to public
institutions, or providing suitable bull
dings for educational purposes or max
ing provisions for those who are af-
flicted. This book will be attractive
and contain a concise history of each
institution prepared by those who are
entirely familiar with them.
There is still another valuable book
which Commissioner Gilbreath and his
force is busily engaged upon and that
is brief history of each county, CIV
ing the date when organized, the char
acer of the soil, the number and names
of its cities and towns, the amount of
land under cultivation what it has
produced during the past year, and
such other facts and favorable men
lions as it entitled to receive. This
! bookwil be illustrated with half tones
made from photographs of the finest
scenes and buildings to be found in
each county. {: 3; ss s> &
