The Scientific Mapping Of the United States

these things stand out in the
charts almost as distinctly as in
the real scene.
The secret Of these maps lies
in their contour lines" Through
every point having a given ele-
walton above the chosen base lew
el which may DE the bed Of the
neirsst large river, a continuous
line is run, following am the
natural curves Of the land.
Then every point that is either
twenty feet higher or twenty
lower is connected by another
parallel lire.
Where the slope is steep the
lines crowd together. where
there are broad areas having
nearly the same level the lines
are widely spaced. where hills
or rrecirirous banks exist the
contour lines bring them out as

ATLANTA SHOULD HAVE
rT7HE GEORGIAN suggests the organization
| of a mammoth club for the purpose of
- increasing the population of Atlanta to
@ 500, 900 persons.
Every man, woman and child now living in
Atlanta and in the surrounding towns should be
eligible to membership. 1t should be one vast
~ body, with one object in VieW--the perpetuatlOn
8 of the splendidly prosperous conditions that
have blessed this region during the last decade.
Atlanta is growing rapidly in population,
but not rapidly enough Another 100000 per
ri manent residents is needed. Amore determined
8l effort should be made to increase population
Atlanta has never properly spread broad
cast to the whole of the United States the advan-
tages offered to those who desire to better
rial themseves---WhO. could be made to locate here
49 if the proper publicity were given to this won
derful city.
The aim of the club outlined in the fore
going would be to exploit to all the world
ne Atlantas exceptional attractions; its wonderful
LII opportunities for profitable investment; its great
future; it's great advantages for hOme-makers;
it's splendid schools and colleges; it's sterling
American citizenship of true patriotism; the I'M
r7 paralleled field it offers to both and women,
Us Young and Old rich and poor who want to live
and prosper in land of plenty under the bene-
diCtiOn of sunny skies.

TLANTA SHOULD HAVE A 'HALF MILLION" CLUB!

This club should tell all the rest of the
world that in Atlanta the tide of industry never
waivers, and that great reward always waits ~
upon honest industry; that the splendid Gate Is
City of the South beckons all to come and share
in the wonderful prosperity and progress now
going
1t seems to The Georgian that there should M
be a union of all organizations for the purpose L98
of disseminating truthful information about the
advantages of this city. This work of exploita-
ton should be done Systematically and with
diligence. q
Every person in Atlanta should be Isl
Der of this club, and each permanent resident
here should send to ten different persons through
out the United States personal letters containing
some definite and truthful facts or arguments, n
that would impress recipients with the advan- 88]
tages of Atlanta---w1th facts calculated to make
the undecided join us as residents here
The Georgian asks its readers to take up
this matter seriously to write to this newspaper III
and briefly give their views on the subject. 81
We want everybody to get behind this
movement---rnen now engaged in all sorts of
enterprises---teaChers and scholars ministers and
professors, women as well as men. II
Persistent and intelligent work will accom- L@I
plish wonders, and the time to begin this work
is NOW!

the scale Of the charts, in many
cases. is such that every inch of
paper corresponds TO a half-mile

APPLICANTS

CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS
CAUSE FLOOD OF LETTERS
ABOUT PARCELS POST JOBS

A circular sent out by the U. S.
Postal department is displayed in te
lobby of the local postoffice which
says in part:-"Many persons have
been misled by the advertisements OF
correspondence schools, which say
that thousands of appointments would
be made in the parcels post service in
the next few months. No such in
crease in the service is contemplated,
as the duties required in connection
with the administration of the law
will be performed by regular en-
ployes Of the postal service and it
any additional employees are required
they will be appointed in the regular
service
Almost every magazine you pick up
is carrying correspondence school ad-
vertising saying that thousands OF
Jobs are available, or will be in the
near future. The extract of the
official statement above discredits
these statements thoroughly.

FIRE IN THE SIMMONS SHOP
COMPLETELY WRECKS PLACE
DAMAGED STORE

Fire starting from the gasoline
lighting system, completely wrecked
the Simmons barber shop on Main
street and the smoke from the blaze
damaged the clothing store next door
The blaze started shortly after s
o'clock Wednesday evening, in few
minutes flames were pouring out OF
the front of the building, and it look.
ed as though the building was doomed
as we'll as those adjoining. The build.
ing occupied by the shop was damaged
to considerable extent, the front and
interior being badly charred.
The department however soon had
the flames under control.
The barber shop furniture and fix
lures will be total loss. The chairs
were all badly charred, and other fix
lures are damaged beyond repair. The
loss to the clothing store by smoke
and otherwise has not been learned.

MANY SETTLERS
FOR MINNESOTA
SUBSTANTIAL FARMERS FROM
IOWA AND ILLINOIS BUYING
FARMS IN THAT STATE

St. Paul, MINI. Feb. 20.-settlers
from Iowa and Illinois are coming to
Minnesota at the rate Of 200 persons
a day, according to statistics in the
hands of S. H. Ward, head Of the live
stock and sanitary board. He says
that the farmers arriving have ample
means and are taking up farming on
a large scale. DR.. Wards statistics
show that in one day ten settlers from
Iowa bought big farms in the state.
The influx Of these settlers is said to
be the result of missionary work done
by the state immigration commission
The department has been running set
tiers trains into Illinois and Iowa for
some time.

MACHINES ON WAY

The automobile business in Willis

propositions hits spring and summer.
In fact it has already tsarted out with
many sales and deliveries.
The Overland agency at this point
last week received . carload Of new
cars and have already sold number
Of them. Two were taken to Plenty
wood, Montana, last Sunday. The
agency has placed orders for addi-
tional shipments Of cars to be; on hand
for sale and delivery.
The Ford agency, just now opening
has ordered four carloads Of this make
of car. A number of these have been
sold and will be delivered upon ar
rival. The manager of the Ford
agency says that he expects to be
able to deliver some Of these cars
within q very few weeks. One car
Of Fords was unloaded Wednesday.
The hup agency has large terri
tory in this state and Montana, and
have splendid business in view fol
the coming summer. A number OF
orders have been booked for deliveries
will be made at an early date.
The development going on in NC
Kenzie county has caused big
demand for autos by people in that
section, as well as locally, by men who
have interests there. That the auto
mobile business in Williston will be a
banner wear there is little doubt.

The people Of Williston are over
looking and neglecting their great
est opportunity. That il the proper
development Of the irrigated land sur
rounding the city.
There was great deal Of excite
ment when the irrigation project was
building and the leading business men
did much to get the project located
and constructed at Williston, but
since then enthusiasm and attention
nave languished just when there
should be the greatest care and study
Of the venture to make it return to the
city what was expected Of it, and what
it can be made to return.
Great Crop Factory
1t is a great crop factory that has
been located at Williston. The fac
tory, however, is not being operatet1
to more than small fraction of its
capacity; the output is diminishing
and unless something is soon done by
the community, the benefit OF this
tremendous invest aent will not only
be lost to the community, but the city
will find it increasingly more diff,
cult to secure other industries whe,
this one, upon which the capital in
vested requires no return in the way
of interest, is neglected
There has been other towns that
have made great efforts to secure ar
industry and when they had sue
ceeded, let it struggle along TOWARD
the undertaken and wondered why \
succumbed.
There are several things the matter
and there are several things that cal
be done to revive the project and ge
out of it what there is in it.

There are under constructed canals
5000 cares of irrigable land right a

WILL PRESENT
A BUSY SCENE
MUCH BUSINESS AT WHARF IN
SPRING AND SUMMER-BOAT
ABOUT COMPLETED

The local wharf on the Missouri
will be busy place this spring and
summer and the business of shipping
to be carried on by the river from
this point will rival that being car
ried on at the larger and older ship
ping points along navigable streams
in other parts Of the county.
On the banks of the river now
awaiting shipment into Mckenzie
county, via the Missouri, are several
hundred tons of rails, like amounts Of
large sewer pipe, railway ties, dump
cars, dinkey engines and much other
railway construction material. This
will all go down the river by boat as
soon as the ice is gone.
The hundred horsepower tug boat,
which is being built here by Guthrie
and Company, Great Northern Con-
tractors, is rapidly nearing compile
ton. The hull of the boat has been
completed and pulled out of the con-
struction shed, and the superstructure
is now being built. The boat will be
ready for launching by the time the
ice has disappeared. Another big
barge is completed and awaits to be
launched, making three new ones to
be used in this transportation work,

are only 172 people; there ought to
be at least 200 separate farms where
as there are now 50 and some Of those
are not operated except in . most
Ecclesiastical manner. The value Of
the total crop ought to be nearly ten
times as much as it is.
The question is: why does this pro-
ject fall so far short of what it should
accomplish! Is there any practical
way of remedying the defects and OF
removing the obstacles?
It is not possible for the Govern
ment to do more than it has done in
building the project. The Govern
ment has no legal means Of making
people develop their land, of making
them irrigate. That is where the
community must work out its own
so,v.+;or ~oaiiW II
Get More People
If there are not enough people or
the project, get some more; there are
plenty Of people and more are being
developed or imported every day. Can
ada is getting them, other commune
ties are going ahead, and so can Viii
liston. There is way to do it but
there must first be will to do it ant
a determination to succeed.
If some of the people now on thi'
project are not alive, if they are no
the kind to get the fullest benefit ou
of their opportunities, get rid Of them
and replace them with live people WHIT
will work and earn money to be spen
in Williston. There are plenty OF liv'
ones but they cant get in until plac
is made for them by burying tn
corpses.
If the people on the project are goo
enough, but simply misdirecting thel
energies by raising the wrong kind o
crops, then it behooves the business
men of Williston to set them right
and do all they can to help them t.
utilize their energy in the direction O
profitable endeavor.
Only Small Gains
It is true that there were big crop
raised on the Williston project thi
