Cannon Ball valley. This valley, 100
miles long and so miles wide, is we'll
known as one of the richest and best
farming communities in the Dakotas.
It is now one of the greatest grain
producing areas in the United States
and its cultivated acreage is being in
creased rapidly by more than 125
steam and gasoline plow rigs in Het-
finger county alone.
The population of Mott is about
1000 and is rapidly increasing, es-
pecially since the advent of the two
railroads in the fall of 1910 the Nor
them Pacific and the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound, traversing
the full length of the Cannon Ball
valley and making Mott the only city
in Western North Dakota favored
with two of the great transcontinental
railroads of the country. Mott has
a fine Groom brick school building in
course of construction, has telephone
connections both north and south with
the coast lines of railroad, is electric
lighted and in the very heart of the

of the farming business il the vicinity
of Mott is the fact that there are now
l25 power blowing outfits busily en-.
gagged in turning the soil in that Sec
tion of the country.
The water of the Cannonball river
can easily be utilized for power pur.
poses and plans for the development
OF this great resource are now under
way. The town has an abundant
supply lin fact inexhaustible supply,
Of pure soft artesian water, which is
struck at depth OF only 100 feet in

The ladies auxiliary of the Mott
commercial club has recently set out
1900 shade trees in Riverside park
besides beautiful flower garden.
There is one auto to every fifteen
people in Mott.
The town has a population of near
1 900 and the prediction is freely made
that the town will have 1000 before
1912.
Besides Tennis clubs. and numerous
social organizations, the town has
gun club which always has Il chip ON

1904 by w. H. Brown, the proprietor
of the present magnificent Hotel
Grown in Mott. The town is named
afted c. w. Mott who was at that
time the immigration agent of the
Northern Pacific. The county was or.
ganized in 1907, and in April of that
year Mott was named the county seat
as result of the hustle of Mott as
that town had it's petition in four
weeks ahead of any other town, and
bearing four times the number of sig.
natures presented by any of the other
aspirants for county seat honors.
On October Is of last year the first
Northern Pacific train pulled into the
town. The MilWaukee's first ira
was just two weeks later.
The Northern Pacific is now busy
with the construction of an extension
of its lines to Miles City, Mont, which
will give Mott railroads extending in
both directions. Mott is easily the
metropolis of the rich Cannonball val
ley. The town has two long distance
telephone lines and is in close con-
nection with the outside world.

The very ground upon which the
city of Mott is built. is white. Almost
without exception the buildings in the
town, both business houses and the
residences are painted white, and the
spotless appearance Of the town
makes an impression upon the visitor
the moment his gaze falls upon the
town.
The moment a new building is
started in Mott, and there are scores
now in course Of erection, the "com-
mittee on white paint" visits the
owner and asks him to paint his new
building white so that it will conform
to the "color scheme" of the town.
and the request is always granted.
Municipal pride demands acquies-
cence, and municipal pride is breathed
in the atmosphere at Mott.
Mott has park, and a beautiful
park-Riverside park by name-that
is not yet completed, but that has
been built thus far by volunteer labor
on the part OF the business men of
the town. During the past few weeks
it has been no uncommon sight to see
the banker, the carpenter, the clerk
and the newspaper man working side
by side down by the riverside, plant.
ing trees, laying out flower gardens,
and arranging for lighthouses.
There are two reasons for the
growth and prosperity of Mott-one
is the fertility of the soil in that vi
cinity, and the natural resources of
the community. The other is the
hustle and observation-disclosures of her

In the mind Of the traveller who

and rides over the crest into the
beautiful little vale in which Mott
