COUNTY DIVISION,
Only One Plan Will Give Glen UIIir
Recognition Desired.

Glen Ullin-A big county division
meeting and barbecue was held here
Saturday, and 1,500 persons from all
sections of Morton county attended
Speakers from all parts of the state
were present
County division is the paramount
issue in Morton county, and will have
an important bearing upon the polit-
cal situation. Two principal plans
will be submitted to the voters. One
calls for division of the county into
four parts, northeast, southeast, north
west and southwest. The county seats
would be Mandan, Flasher, Glen Ul-
lin and Elgin. respectively. The Sec
ond plan would split Morton county
into three sections, one to consist of
that part extending across the north
ern end of the present county, four
townships wide, the remainder of the
territory on the south to be equal
ly divided north and south Under
this plan the proposed county seats
would be Mandan, Flasher and Elgin.
The fight between the exponents of
the two plans will be bitter one, and
candidates for county office are being
forced to declare themselves on this
issue.

CUPID ADVERTIsEs.
AS Result, Minnesota Grandmother
Getting Suitor for Granddaughter.

I Devils Lake.-John Bartly, a pros
porous farmer Of LaWton, Ramsey
county, whose section farm has made
him independent, believes in advertis-
ing. While in the years he has been
tillng the soil he has had but little
contact with printers ink his one ex-
perience has satisfied him that little
want ad inserted in Minnesota news
paper, was the turning point of his
life.
At the Sevilla hotel, Devils Lake, a
romance written in several months
correspondence, and which was start
ed by the little want ad, resulted in
the marriage of John Bartly to Miss
Margery Davis of Mcintosh, Mimi.
Mrs. C. E. Davis, of Mcintosh, grand
mother of the bride, played an impor-
tant part in the romance In fact it
was she who answered the want ad,
opening the first correspondence with
the prospective bridegroom in behalf
of her granddaughter. Mrs. Davis
was so pleased with the whole affair,
that she accompanied the young wom-
an to Lakota, N. D., where they met
Mr.. BARLEY this week.
The problem of how they would
know each other, when they met in
the little village, was solved by the
agreement to each wear a bouquet of
flowers.

BIG POTASH DEPOSIT
From Six to Ten Million Tons
Found in Mojave Desert.
Located in Old Lake 6ed-Many Have
Lost Lives in Traversing Waste
Which Will Now Yield Prod
uct of Much Value.

hington.-Following the an
nouncement by the geological survey
that a survey party in connection with
a party from the department of agri-
culture had located potash deposit
in the Mojave desert, the agricultural
department tells more about the de-
posit and the circumstances under
which it exists.
The department states that pocket
has been found down in the Motave
desert in southern California contain
ing from 100000 to 100000 tons.
SO far as can be ascertained now. The
prospect is that it will last twenty or
thirty years and tide the country over
till more thorough search can be
made ...
The deposit was struck simultane-
ously by the two searching parties in
the Borax lake region of the Mojave.
This section, like most of this south
western country, is an old lake bed.
The borngs for potash were made in
section Of plya or hard desert sand.
The region that has been investigat-
ed is underlaid by big body of nat
ural brine that comes to the surface
in the form of wells when borings are
made
BoraX lake, or Searle lake, is one of
the many playas or intermittently wet
and dry lakes common throughout
the arid regions Of the west. 1t lies
between the Argus and Slate ranges.

the original scene Of famous borax
mines. The lake or fiat is about ten
miles long and five miles wide and

surrounding mills for many thousands
Of years, vast quantities of dissolved
minerals being thus concentrated in 1t.
The water has been evaporated under
the intense heat Of the long, hot sea-
sons, but the salts have remained, 80
that for most of the year. in fact often
throughout the year, the bed is glis-
tening plain of white salts, in attempt

the earth's crust-Where great area

AS TO GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

Editor The Georgian;
Some months ago you published
a picture of an auto garbage truck
spreading disease and filth on the
streets while en- route to the Gre
matory If this one auto brought
forth your condemnation, what will
you say when fifteen or twenty
auto garbage trucks will be used
to help feed the big new crema-
tory? What will you say to the
several hundred one and two-mule
carts as they gather the garbage
from the farthermost parts of the
Greater Atlanta and jolt it along
through our streets to its very cen
ter to feed the 250- ton crema-
tory?
If the carts alone are used 1t will
take about 1000 loads day If
you found one auto so objection
able do you think you could main
tain the same argument when we
increase the number? Would the
result of your arguments stop the
carting of the garbage of the en-
tire city to the one common cen
ter? If you do, then what becomes
of our $4,000 investment in the
crematory?
We already own and have oper-
ated for several years. a crematory
that consumes 125 tons daily of
garbage This crematory~ cost only
$4,000. 1t has withstood injunc-
ton suits and attacks on grounds
of being a nuisance. Why should
we tear this one down to erect one
10 consume $50 tons to cost $40
GOO. and possibly abandon it in
year or two If your arguments pre-
vail?
The only practical solution is to
build three or four small cremator-
les in different separated localities.
These would be less Objectionable
thon one large crematory The
handling would be less and thus we
can reduce our sanitary expense in
stead of increasing it. We could
erect these small crematories in
few months instead of two years
to build the large one.
am glad to see there is some
probability of the contracting COM
pany not signing the contract and
thus saving the city from a S34O-
600 expenditure that will not bring
the relief needed in our garbage
disposal
