1t was the pleasure of the pub
Usher of The Journal Tuesday to
visit Calhoun City and Pittsboro
in Calhoun county. No county
in the state has made more rapid
strides in the way of improve
ment than the county within the
past ten years. A number OF
drainage districts have been Gre
ated and many thousand acres Of
the finest bottom lands in the
county have been reclaimed by
drainage. Crops were good in
the county and the people seem
to be enjoying unusual prosperi-
ty. AT Calhoun City it was our
pleasure to meet Mr.. Going, ed
itor of the Dixie Herald, and at
Pittsboro, Mr.. Murphree, editor
of the Calhoun County Monitor,
both of whom are members-elect
of the next legislature. Calhoun
is the only county in the state to
send back her present repre-
sentatives, a compliment well
deserved in both instances.

STRANGE FARM PRODUCTS
 EXHIBITED AT THE FAIR

san Francisco, May 25-Histor- ians today were interested in the queer crops from James Bellwood's iarm in Virginia, which were on eX- hibition at the Panama Pacific eX- position. The products of this farm included several score Indian flint arrowheads, a round shot fired from the guns of the Merrimac, a three-inch soft nosed shell hurled by confederate cannon and imbed- ded in an oak tree, and several bayonets, sabres and bullets. Be fore George Washington was born, Indians and settlers fought a battle On the site of Bellwood's farm hence the arrowheads, and in 1864 the battle of Brewry's Bluff, waged there, caused the deposit of other miSsles. Numerous skulls and bones were also turned up by Bell woods blow, but these were buried again in deeper graves than the shallow trenches in which they first repCsed.

NEW BOAT LINE
 ID START SOON

From San Francisco comes the
 ory that steamship company, hitherto an unknown quantity in the Northern trade. has completed arrangements for a direct ocean service between the Golden Gate and Southwestern Alaska ports. An nouncement to this effect was made last week by the trade eI- tension division of the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce. Form al announcement of the first sail ing date will be made within week.
 All of the Alaska freight now comes directly to Seattle and is either trans-shipped or sent by railroad to California. Whether the new line would get enough fripght to make direct service worth while is the question raised by local shipping men who have heard of the proposition.

 The largest unsuryeyed areas in Alaska lie in the drainage basins of the rivers flowing nOrthward to the Arctic ocean. This region is so inaccessible as to be of small commercial importance and is not known to contain mineral resourc- es other than coal. There are also considerable areas in the Kus- kokwim river basin that are still unsuryeyed, and this is one of the fields to which the Geologicl sur vey is dispatching parties this year. The Aleutian islands are still known 1nly through the charts of the early exploring expeditions, made chiefly by the Russians.
 On the other hand, practically every mining camp has been sur veyed and investigated by the Geo logical survey. The high-grade coal fields of the Matanuska and Boring river and many of the more important gold and copper bearing districts have been surveyed in de tail. The region traversed by the proposed government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks has also been surveyed and investigated by the Geological survey. The results of all these topographic surveys are summarized in graphic form on the new wall map.
 This map can be purchased of the director of thel United States Geo. logical survey for 80 cents a copy.
