we'll as those below.
Senator Newlands asked that the
Drainage Congress adopt a resolution
endorsing a broad policy for the
treatment of the rivers. This policy,
he said, should provide for the stOr-
ase of SHOWS and excessive rains. for
scientific soil culture, forestation and

ADVERTISING
THAT PAYS

There are still some people, a few,
who do not belieNe that advertising
pays. a sort time ago the Appeal
published a write-up concerning the
Barker WINDMILL, which is being op-
Grated here by wills Brorgher. In
response from that article the Appeal
has received inquiries from two diff
ferent parties concerning the mill,
one from California and one from
Oregon. Neither of the persons is a
subscriber of the Appeal. but state
that they wish ten copies of the paper
containing the article sent to their
address and that they would show
it to persons whom they know are in
tcrested in the proposition. And yet
we are told no one outside OF town
reads the local papers and that adver-
Using does not pay.

ly that one must go back six
years, or to 1905, to find a year
in which so large a number of
locomotives and freight cars
were ordered. The figures
presented show that in 1912,
three railroad companies built
a total mileage OF new track in
new track in North Dakota of
347 miles. Texas ranks second
with 1886 miles, and no new
mileage is recorded in five
states and Alaska.
The totals for cars and loco
motives ordered during the
year show the heavy demands
that were made on the railroad
facilities during the last part of
1912, both for the movement of
extraordinarily heavy crops
and for the general business
resulting from greater indus
trial activity.
The new equipment ordered
includes 226, 1875 freight cars;
8, 1923 passenger cars, and 1, 424
locomotives.
