New Improvement

In front of the Williston Land
Co., Miss Taylors Millinery es-
tablishment, The Herald ct al, was
enhanced this week by the erec-

tatters out of the old sun shield.
John M. Milne had the work in

Through the Heart Of Alberta and
the Great Saskatchewan Country

West Of Portal VIII Pass through Wilhston and
Effect Junction With So Railroad Company

Along with fax fibre plants,
pulp mills, development of the
Ignite mines and other good things
that are coming in the way Of
Williston comes the very athoritive
statement that ar other railroad is
headed in the direction of the City
of Opportunity and is vouched for
by no less than by ''The CONNER
cial West" a Minneapolis publica-
tion devoted to banking, grain and
western investments.
Under a Winnipeg date of Aug.
8 and relating to the expansion
and enormous increase in business
of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
the article mentions as one of the
most important undertakings of
the company, the construction of
q north and south line through the
heart of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
This new line will run in almost a
direct line from Edmonton to
Swift Current and thence southeast
and will cross the international
boundary about one hundred miles
west of Portal and Join the 500
near the big bend of the Missouri
river.
Of this proposed north and south
line there are already a number of
sections under construction and
men are now engaged in building
the line northwest and southeast
from Swift Current. From Edmon-
ton to Sedgwick the line was sur
veyed several years ago and this
section will without question be
completed at a very early date.
Between Sedgwick and Swift
Current there are now q number
of survey parties in the field and
the line will pass through Corona
tion, q new town on the Lacombe
branch. North from Coronation
there will be two branches built
and southeast from that place the
line will be built into Swift Current
As the new line will strike the
international boundary at a point
about one hundred miles west of
Portal this will bring it's path into

the United States at a place on the
boundary about thirty-6ve or
forty miles west of the point at
which the state line between North
Dakota and Montana bisects the
international boundary, and thence
taking = south easterly course, the
path of the road leads directly to
Williston thence nearly east, in
case they do not cross the river
and tap the rich grain fields of
Mckenzie county, where the Cana
dian road will meet the 500 at
Plaza, or in that neighborhood.
The fact that surveys are made
and are being made in this direc-
tion and the long known desire of
the Canadian corporation to reach
into the territory tapped by the
G. N, meeting them in competition
70. the trade of this country as a
counteriritant for the Hill lines
that are fast worming their way
inte the territory Of the . Canadian
roads, lends greater assurance that
the road will be built.
In the coming of this road a
vast territory hitherto not in close
touch with with railway facilities,
is put into close communication
with eastern markets both via the
500 and the Canadian line of rail-
way. Out of Swift Current south
east the line runs through virgin
territory and in its path are the
towns of Bigford, Carrignan,
Mazenod, Leeville, Carvale, on
the Canadian Northern, thence to
the boundary and southeast and
east through Plenty wood, Bone
traill, Williston, Nesson, Hoflund,
Grinnell, Brookbank, Amanda in
to Plaza. ..@ #.t

III ASHINGTON.-The value Of farm
~ land per acre in the north central
states has practically doubled in the
last ten years, according to a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The to-
tai value Of farm lands and buildings
in the division has increased from less
than $4,000. 900 in 1900 to more than
$4,000, 900 in 1910, while the number
Of farmers has increased only a frac-
ton of one per cent
More than two-thirds Of the farmers
in the section own their own farms,
while more than half these owners
have their land free from mortgage. a
slight decrease from 1900 is shown in
the number Of owners, while the ten
ant farmers have increased by more
than twenty per cent. A significant
feature of the bulletin is the indication
given that the older states of the sec
ton are deere asing in agricultural i'm
portance, presumably owing to in
creases in urban manufacturing popu-
lations.
The total amount Of land included
in farms in 1910 was reported as 349,-
100000 acres, as compared with 3d.
349, 900 acres in 1900, an increase of
30 ,613, 900 acres, or ten per cent. This
important increase IS largely due to
the extension of agricultural activities
into western North and South Dakotas.

Interior Department Issues Warning

COMPLAINTS have been received
~ from settlers on reclamation pro-
jects that by reason Of the misrepre-
sensations of land agents they have
been induced to purchase lands which
were afterward found to be without
any rights to water from the govern
ment canals. The secretary of the in
terror issued a warning which, while
it refers particularly to the Rio Grande
project in New Mexico and Texas. is
equally applicable to other projects
containing large areas OF private lands.
"AII persons are warned against ac-
cepting any statements concerning
this project without inquiry from the
officers of the reclamation service Elk
perience has shown that some warning
OF this kind is necessary because mis-
leading statements have been issued
regarding the project and the condi-
tons existing upon it
In particular, attention is directed

the antennae necessary to establish
communication.
The real purpose of the recent great
assemblage of troops in Texas, aside
from international considerations, was
the creation Of one tremendous mill
tary unit, and that was successfully ac-
complished for the first time since the
Civil war, in the opinion Of Major Cen
eral Carter, the commander in chief Of
the maneuver division.
Five times the cost of this operation
would not measure the value to the
country Of the experiment, declared
General Carter 1t was the first oppor-
tunity that the modern army had to
get together all branches of the serv-
ice-the infantry. the cavalry, the artil-
1ery, the transportation and subsist-
ence departm ents-and to make a
thorough test of what had been purely
theoretical estimates of the proper bal
ance between them.
This problem was worked out by the
test of actual practice, and General
Carter feels that when he left Texas
here had been brought into being the
perfect military unit which had been
so long desired by army strategists.

How DR.. Graham Bell Keeps Away Heat

n JRING the recent heat waves, cost
y ing in six days 12O lives in New
\ ork city alone, Dr.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the inventor of the tele-
phone, stocked up the ice stove, his
newest invention, in his Washington
home, and felt quite comfortably cool
while others were sweIterfng in an at
mosphere from which there appeared
to be no prospects Of relief Doctor
Bell is not going to patent his ice
stove. Now that he has given it a
thorough test and is satisfied that it is
practical, he says everybody is at lib
erty to make and use the invention in
any way thai may seem desirable or
beneficial
Doctor Bells ice stove is the exact
opposite Of the ordinary coal furnace.
While the latter consumes coal and
radiates heat to keep up the tempera-
ture, the former consumes ice and ra-
dates cooling waves Of air to keep it
down.
On the ground floor of Doctor Bells
Washington residence is what was
once a swimming tank Having been
built to hold water, 1t can safely be
depended upon to hold cold air. 1t is
a well known fact that cold air is
heavier than warm air. Everybody has
noticed that when a window is opened
in a room in cold weather the feet feel
the cold first. This is because the
admitted cold air has fallen to the
floor So if cold air was poured into
the ordinary room it would flow out
