RAILROADS BEGIN
 ADVERTISING WORK
A., B. & A. Especially Active in
 Campaign
WANT MORE IMMIGRANTS
Aouthern Roads Are Following Ex- ample of Western Competitors in Inducing People to This See
 tion of the Country
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS

Flaming advertisements that "our line runs through the richest districts of mineral Alabama and through val leys noted for their agricultural fer tility." constitute one of the means be- ing employed by the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad to induce set tiers to come Into this state.
 The work of inducing immigrants to come to Ala bama was started In earn est during the past week by the AL lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic. It has been stated that through the offices of W. H. Leahy, general passenger agent, a widespread campaign has been begun to build up the line operating from mineral Alabama to the Atlantic seaboard. The company has perfected arrangements with farm and land owners along the line to assist the company in the work of bringing de- sirable persons to this state to culti- vate the land and to enter other pur- suits which will mean the upbuilding of the line and Alabama.
 The greatest effort is to be made in
 
 to be appealed to and 1t Is expected that the fertile valley through which the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic operates will be peppered at no dis tant time with progressive farmers from all points of the compass. In Its advertising campaign the company points out that land Is now cheaper in Alabama than any place in the coun- try, and that Alabama is growing as no other state in the union. As an investment any land bought where such conditions prevail Is sure to enhance in value and not only produce cur rent income but increase in value year by year.
 The company has opened up vir- win territory to Birmingham and the officers intend to use every means tc improve the surroundings. They have secured data upon the richness of the soil and have compiled every bit of in- formation which may be desired by any person who wishes to immigrate to the sunny south. With all its deyel- opment the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic has not lost sight of Bir.

mingham and the desirability of this city being connected with the land through which the railroad operates.
 The magic word Birmingham has been connected up with the adjacent territory of the line and the name Is acting like a magnet in attracting persons to investigate the land here abouts. It Is said that the western rail- roads have created the west by their advertising campaign, which caused people to flock westward to grow up with the country. To a great measure that Is true. The southern lines are now following the example of their western competitors.
 The Southern railway and allied lines have regularly organized agricul- tural bureau which is constantly get ting people to come south.
 The Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis and other lines have followed suit, while the Louisville and Nash vile has brought perhaps more farm CTS to the south than any other. one agency.
 With the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic as a new line and with con- bined effort on the part of all the lines 1t is expected that an effective cam paign will be waged.
 The campaigns have been carried on without any great publicity in this section. There is essentially no need of local lf-advertisement. However, places foreign to this city and state have recently been flooded with At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic liter atnre and this campaign has begun with a hitherto unknown vim. The result is expected to bring many peo- pie to this section which Is not un- like:
 "A good land, a land of brooks, of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; land of wheat, and barley. and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; land of oil. olive and honey, land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarce ness. thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass."-Deut. viii 7-S-9.

DR.. COOK ACTS AS JUDGE AND JURY
convets Innocent Parties in the Advance Office Somebody's sase
and Is Called Down by Whaux Pioneer. Or. Cook Puts
Foot In Through His "Eamestness Of Purpose

From Beach Advance, Feb. IL
Emerson Stockwell went out to
Wibaux Tuesday to swear out a
warrant for the arrest of Earl and
Arden Emerson on the charge of
stealing oats from his farm south
west Of town. Just how many
loads have been taken is not
known, but on one load he has a
pretty good line of evidence, for
an inopportune time was selected.
It was just after the snow on Tues
day evening of last week. Stock
we'll was hauling oats every day
and had scales at the bin to weigh
the grain. Wednesday morning the
scales were pulled out of the way
for loading and a sleigh track ran
from the bin across the field to
the road. It was later learned
that Arden Emerson was the first
one at the Farmers elevator in
Wibaux Wednesday morning with
seventy-six bushels and twenty-one
pounds of oats. Other evidence
can also be brought to prove that
the oats were, taken from Stock
wells bin.
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1910-02-25

From Wibaux Pioneer, Feb. IT.
The Beach Advance this week
contains story about the arrest
last week of Arden and Earl EN-
erson on the complaint of Emer-
son Stockwell of Beach, who swore
out a warrant before Justice Bush
nell, charging the brothers with
stealing oats.
The brothers stood trial on the
charge and were dismissed, no
evidence connecting them with
the alleged theft from the Stock
we'll bin being adduced.
The Advance:sman was either pref
udiced in this case or too busy to
get all the facts. Had he taken
the same pains to learn the out
come as he did the alleged charge,
he would have added that the two
Emersons were dismissed. Stock
we'll had no proof. merely sus.
plclon. When Stockwell again
rushes into court with criminal
charges against innocent parties,
ne will pretty near have to pro-
duce tangible evidence.
