News OF the Northwest

To realize the full possibilities un-
der the irrigation project it will be
necessary to change to farming meth
I DDS. Small farms are the first essen
ttal, and with the small farms will
come intensified farming, making pos
sible the payment of from 81 to IS per
year int water rentals. On the pres
ent basis Of farming it is out of the
question, practically, to attempt any
thing very extensive in the way Of
watering.
The annual cost of operating the ir-
rigatlon plant, roughly estimated, Is
$4,000, and with a total of about 1000
acres under the project, the financial
feature Of the enterprise Is more
strikingly illustrated.
Coal Values Will Help.
Another feature that must be taken
into consideration in looking into the
future of the Williston district is the
unlimited Ignite coal supply, lying at
it's doors.
Big Ideas.
Williston is a city Of big ideas, and
this is illustrated in their plan for the
construction of an electric railroad
line from Williston to some point on
the 500 line, in Divide county.
The district that would be tapped
by this line is directly north Of Willis
ton, much of which is without ready
merketing facilities. Some farmers are
compelled to team their products thir-
ty miles to market, and they are deSir-
GUS Of getting the line.
Under he project as now outlined,
electric cars, generating their own
power, would be used. The survey has
been completed, n the grade is very
good. For a distance Of thirty miles
the survey follows the route of the
Little Muddy river.
In the promotion of the railroad
construction plan, the Williston bust
ness men have shown their willing
ness to tackle ven the biggest kind
of problems.
They are keenly enthusiastic over
the success Of the movement.
Farmers Taking Interest.

ner. while the experimental station, |
orerated here under the direction Of
Chas. Ruzicka, is regarded as one of
the best in North Dakota.
Mckenzie county, lying just south
Of Williston, also is interested in the
better farming movement, and will
have an agent as soon as one is avail
able.
Williams county holds the record Of
being the pioneer county in the state
N the matter of farm clubs, of which
It has over twenty five.
Have Civic Pride.
In the matter of civic pride, Willis
or cannot be exceeded. The beautf-
'ul new Congregational church, the
dining room of which is great enough
% seat 800, and which was used for
bankers, is a splendid building,
it attests to the generosity Of Will
iston people.
A new ~postoff1ce building is in
course Of construction, and several
business buildings also are contem-
plated, with considerable construction
work under way in the residence Sec
ion.
On all hands one is impressed with
he Williston spirit. 1t is a city that
loes not belle its name-The City of
Opportunity.

Williston a Revelation
to n. Dakota Bankers

will be one of the prettiest in NORTH
Dakota when fully developed. North
Of the city the valley land is under
the irrigation ditch, and when the
valley land is divided up into small
farms, as it must ultimately be in
order to make irrigation successful,
it will be one of the richest regions
in the state.
Already alfalfa Is being grown there
abundantly. Several truck farms are
being operated successfully, and with
water available at all seasons Of the
year, the truck gardening and other
enterprises canno but be successful
when the proper methods of handling
the water, the land, etc, are fully
worked out.
Is Beautiful Place.
From the eastern border Of the
valley, looking out over the farming
lands toward Williston, one Is afford
ed a beautiful view, probably without
rival in the state. 1t is a magnificent
picture that unfolds itself before the
autoist who has the pleasure Of max
ing the ride along the eastern hills.
WillistOn, at the farther side Of the
valley, spreads out owe considerable
ground. and with it's multitude of
shade trees, 1t presents a beautiful
sight.
Just beyond is the Missouri river,
adding to the completeness of the
picture.
Farmers Show Progress.
The same tour Of the rural districts,
given the bankers, afforded an oppor-
tunity to study the progress being
made by the farmers. That they are
there to stay, and intend making their
homes there, is evident from the man
ner in which they are building their
farmsteads. Many fine residences have
been built, although as usual, the con-
struction of new and commodious
barns is given first attention.
Farmers are taking a deep interest
in cattle raising, and dairying gives
promise of being one Of the districts
most important activities within a
comparatively short time.
w. G. Palmer, one of the first to join
the dairying propaganda, is making a
remarkable success Of his venture. He
has a rrettily situated farm several
miles north n east Of Wiliston,
where he is showing what can be &C
COmpliShed. The fact that he has an
electric lighting system on his farm is
evidence Of the completeness Of his
equipment.
In the breeding of cattle, in dairy

farming interests, Mr.. Palmer is
pointing the way to new success for
the farmers Of western North Dakota. |
irrigation Gives Great Promise.
The visit to the federal irrigation
plant was a revelation. The plant is
about three miles from Willis
ton, although it is necessary to traEel
about five miles on account Of the Lit
tie Muddy river, which lows along to
the west Of the station.
The coal is obtained from mines
near at hand, cars running direct from
the mine to the furnace, thus doing
away to a large extent with the fuel
problem. Electricity is generated for
the lighting of the city of Williston, |
in addition to the operation of the
pumping stations at the Missouri riv-
er, and at the several lifts, where
water is raised from one level to an
other. The government maintains the
main SUPPLY bitches, while the farm
owners maintain their own laterals.

Williston. N. D., July 6.-Willistor
the City Of Opportunity" has mad
itself solid with the bankers of Nortl
Dakota by the splendid manner il
which it entertained the convention
which ended here Friday.
More than ever the city is decided,
ION the map as a city capable of en-
pertaining the states most eXactins
associations, and while the banker!
are far from an eXacting lot, they APP
preciate a thing we'll done, and theJ
certainly are appreciative Of Willis
toms splendid efforts to show them &
good time,
The convention just closed was one
of the most successful the bankers
have ever held. For many, it was their
first visit to this section Of the state,
and they were thus given an oppor-
tunity of studying the natural ad-
Nantages of the district.
See Diversified interests.
In an automobile ride on Wednes-
day afternoon. during which visits
were made to the state experimental
station, the w. c.. Palmer farm and
the federal irrigation station, the
bankers were supplied with a splendid
idea Of the diversified farming posi-
bilities Of the district.
Williston. as a city Of opportunity
twas aptly illustrated by u. L. Burdick,
in his address to the bankers at the
big banquet. He dealt extensively
with the natural advantages of the

progress it has made in recent years.

At a recent meeting of williston
Fbusiness men, when plans for the en-
ktertainment Of the bankers were laid,
1t developed that Mr.. Burdick was the
koidest man Of the entire assemblage,
tand he Is but 80 years old.
That the young men h have cast
their lot with Winston will be sue
kcessful is the general c%oncensus Of
opinion among the bankers of the

:. Is a Clean City.
Another feature that made a very
favorable impression with the visitors
was the evident moral cleanliness
OF, the city. Though a railroad cen
ter, where hundreds Of transients are
found daily, the city is without blind
pigs Or public nuisances Of any kind.
It's business district Is we'll main
tanned, and in the residence section
are to be found many beautiful
homes. Side by side with the most
~pretentious residences may be found
log cabins. reminders Of the fact that
Williston has hardly yet passed from
the frontier stage-though there Ia
nothing but the cabins left to remind
one of that fact.
In the construction Of residences,
man. have used stones for decorative
purposes, the same being plentiful in
that region, and the result is to Gre
ate a beautiful effect in the residence

FEAR STEEL isn't TO
TO Be LAID This YEAR

Ryder Journal: There is some fear
wholly unfounded-that the 500 is
not to lay steel on the new extension
this fall. There is talk of sending a,
delegation from the reservation to see
Mr.. Pennington about the matter.
While it is desirable to get definite in
tentions, every indication is, steel will
be laid this fall-we have even heard
500 agents are now soliciting cattle
shipments in Mckenzie county on the
strength of the shorter haul the new
extension gives the 500. With the fine
crop prospects We fail to see why
there should be apprehension on this
score ..@

meeting ofthe officers of the Methodist
and the Presbyterian churches was
held to ascertain to what extent it was
felt that one strong church might do
more for the advancement of the
kingdom of God in this
ity than two are able to do. After
a frank and extended discussion
an expression was made by ballot SO
that no one could know how the other.
