ODD GEOGRAPHICAL FACTS.
Unique Points About the United
States Worth Rememberins.

Unique Points ABOUT the United
states Worth Remem bering.
Among the many geographical Pc
culiarities in the United States there
are some especially interesting.
The two largest counties in the
United States are Custer County, Mon
tana. and San Bernardno County, Cal
ifornia. Each of these Is little more
than 10000 square miles in extent, and
the States of Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Delaware and New Jersey
could be put inside the boundaries of
either of them. The smallest county
in the Union Is Bristol County, Rhode
Island. which has only 20 square
miles
The county in the United States hav-
ing the largest population is New
York, which has 100000 people In it.
At the time of the last census Bailey
County, Texas, which Is about the size
of the State of Rhode Island, had only
four inhabitants.
About so miles from Durango, Colo
RADIO, there is point where four
States meet. Here by stepping few
feet in either direction one can walk
in four different commemorative In as
many seconds. These commonwealth
are the States Of Colorado, Utah and
the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona. A nearly parallel case is at
Harper's Ferry, where the train stops
few minutes to allow the passengers
to alight and enjoy view which per-
mits them to look into three States
Maryland. Virginia and West Virginia.
The highest and lowest elevations in
this country are in California, within
| 100 miles OF each ether. The Hottest
is Mt. Whitney, 14,499 feet high, and
the lowest Is Death Valley. about $50
| feet below the level of the sea.
Two Oceans Pass, in Yellowstone
Park, is so named because whenever
there is a shower In the vicinity and a
certain small creek overflows, Its
waters spread over the edge Of the
continental divide and pass into trib-
| utariss of rivers which flow to the At
lantic and to the Pacific
The longest city street in the United
States is Western avenue, Chicago.
which Is exactly % miles long. Its
nearest rival is Halsted street, also
in Chicago. which is two-thirds of a
mile shorter. Halsted street IL so
! much more closely built up that 1t Is
usually spoken of as the longest street
In the world. Interspersed with the
native Americans on this one street
are Germans. Italians, Russians, Jews
(, Bohemians, Poles and Greeks Hal
| sted street is crossed over and under
by 20 railroads.
! novel way to demonstrate the size
| of the State OF Texas Is to spread out
a map OF the Union and stretch a
| string across Texas the longest way
Then placing one end of the measure
at Chicago, one will find that the other
| end will extend into either the Allan
] tic Ocean or the Gulf Of Mexico,

Standpont-Views of Belding Business Men Regarding
Effect of Local Option-Large Crowd Expected

ARRANGEMENTS have been made TO
hold a big rally at Grattan in the
Grange hall on Thursday evening,
March 81, for the purpose of discussing
from business standpoint the local
option question, which is now prom
inent in the Kent county campaign.
The local option committee has invited
the supporters of the "wet" side OF the
question TO take part also and IL Is ex-
pected that one of their best speakers
will give an address.
1t is the intention of the committee
TO endeavor TO make this one OF the
largest, best and most instructive meet
ings in the campaign, and w. j. Cas-
terton of Detroit has been secured
To talk on the 'dry" side Of the ques-
ton. There should be very large
turnout of the voters of the township
present 30 hear the discussion.
Much is being said in the campaign
regarding the effect on business in the
cities and towns where the saloons have
been voted out. Mr.. w. ID. Hall, one
of the prominent farmers OF Grattan,
has been making some Investigations
along this line and states as follows:
''One OF the circular letters of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
of Grand Rapids, which purports to
express the views of the secretary at
least, of that organization, came into
my possession. Being anxious TO en-
tighten myself and some of my fellow
electors on some of the commercial
questions hinted at i'm the communica-
ton, | interviewed several of the mer-
chants of the city of Belding, in Ionia
county, which has now been dry for
about eleven months, in regard to the
conditions in that place. / believe with
the subscriber of the communication
above referred to, that this should be
an educational campaign, and as his
suppositions did not materially increase
my knowledge on the commercial con-
ditions in dry territory, set out TO in

into effect.
"E. &. Lloyd, dry goods merchant,
says his business has been better since
local option was enforced and that he
is we'll satisfied with the results and
conditions.
"Frank III. Hudson, groceryman,
says that business is better, and that
too much cannot be said i'm favor of To-
cal option.
"Lamb Bros, grocers, say that they
can see no bad effects from local option
"Dr. j. f. Pinkham says that condi-
tions generally are greatly improved
under local option and collections are
better.
"E. +. Chapple, president of the
BallOu Basket Factory, says that con-
ditions under the local option have
greatly exceeded his expectations. 1t
has been better for him, better for his
laborers and better for every body, ex-
cept, perhaps, the saloon men.
"Miller II Harris, furniture dealers,
say their business has been % to 30 per
cent better than ever before and they
are well satisfied with the conditions
under local option.
"Chas. Moore, proprietor of Hotel
Bricker, says his business has not been
so good as prior 10 the time local option
went into effect, owing To the tact that
when there were saloons i'm the city
many young men would become intox-
icated, and disliking To return home or

option.
