Dream of Colonel Mulberry Sellers
of Missouri Metropolis to be
Realized After Many
Years.
LEvEE PoRTEcTs CITY
Marion City Was Washed OF the
Map by the River But New
Town Has Been Amply
Protected

L kslJAl IA, MO-, NdTCn oU.-- Marion
City, the opalescent dream of William
Mudrow and the theme of Colonel
Mulberry Sellers most impassionate
harangues is to be realized by the
founding of a town in the Marion
City bottoms. Seventy years ago Col
onel Muldrow laid the foundation OF
Marion City in the Bay island. He
went on east and from the pulpit of
Philadelphia's most famous churches
he told Of the unsurpassing richness
of the Mississippi bottom land In
fervid words he pictured the Miss
issippi bottom land, east of Palmyra
as another Eden. He said that they
surpassed the valley of the Nile and
the Babylonian Gardens in fertility
of soil and location.
Mr. Muldrow established a town at
Marion City which, fifteen feet higher
and above high water would have
probably been the metropolis of the
Mississippi valley.
He was dreamer of dreams that
were realized by j. Pierpont Morgan
and Hartman. He said as early as
lS40 that the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans would some day be joined
together by bands of steel
He threw up by slave labor the en-
banllment of the first transcontinental
railroad ever projected in America.
He directed the Atlantic and Pacific
G-railroad. Only few decaying trees
mark the grade of this road. which
has the distinction of connecting the
two oceans, but these trees and the
embankment run into the new town
of Huiskamp, which was surveyed
last week and will be the new resur,
rected Marion City.
Fl, c. Sheetz, with a force of men
surveyed the new town, which lies
between the long line of tracks and
the Rock Ridge slough He surveyed
six blocks and divided them into for
ty lots which will be sold to people
who wish to make the new city their
home.
Bordering the Rock Bridge slough
Surveyor Sheetz placed Rinehart
$50 feet along the back of the slough
The only reason that Marion City
failed TO be metropolis was be-
cause the waters overwhelmed it. In
the new city a levee protects the
land from the Mississippi An exten.
sive system OF tiles which have been
put in by Mr.. William Rhinehart of
Queen City, No. drain the land of all
rainfall that comes to it,
The new city is situated in the
midst of 5000 acres OF as fertile land
as a crow ever flew over The levee
district is controlled by Mr.. Rhine
tart. He is a progressive tiller of the
bottom land and intends in the next
few years 10 make the Mississippi
bottom as dry as any land on the
bills
BY modern engineering and scieu-
tific tiling he has removed from the
new town of Huiskamp all the impedi-
ments that checked the growth Of
Marion City.
1t is not improbable that if the in
terurban is run from Philadelphia TO
Palmyra that ii will pass through the
town of Huiskamp on its way to Han
nibal.
A new PASSENGER depot will soon be
built at the towns site and then the
trains will stop there Already a rail
road switch 900 feet long has been
placed in the new town of Huiskamp

all In all, the colored people are MAX
ing good use of their advantages for
obtaining an education and for doing
business.
Opportunities In the Public Service.
It is safe to say that few If any
southern cities of its size offer such
large opportunities for our people to
find employment in the municipal and
public works departments as is true
Of Little Rock. Carpenters, black
smiths. wheelwrights, brick masons.
plasterers. painters. architects and
electricians enjoy liberal share Of
the Jobs given out by contractors.
In almost every department of the
municipal service may be found rep
resentative of the race. The postot-
fee has colored superintendent of
city delivery. who has a large force
Of clerks and other employees in his
department. This is an instance where
q man Of merit has really been given
q fair chance to make good regardless
Of race or color. The fortunate per-
son Is Mr. n. 81. Garner, who worked
his way UP to the front.
Like. Mr.. Garner, the Hon. John E.
Bush is another man Of the race in
the public service in Little Rock, still
higher up. Mr.. Bush is in charge Of
the United States land Office. a posi-
ton which he fills with credit and
ability. Aside from the important and
exacting duties Of his Office. Mr.. Bush
is interested in all good movements In
which the well being of the race is a,
stake. The achievements of these two
men, coupled with the excellent educa
tional facilities for our people. are
distinctions well worthy Of note in the
progress of the race.
