In speaking of Minot and it's future,
we must bear in mind that everything
is judged by comparisons. Only thus
can one predict the growth of a city or
community. Minot is mid-continental.
To get a correct picture in our mind,
we have to consider distances. There
are no large cities in the territory
served by Minot nearer than Great
Falls and Spokane on the west, Cal
gary on the north, and the Twin Cities
to the east. The same area or rather
Falls to the Twin Cities in the older
settled portions Of the country would
give us an indication of our own fu-
ture possibilities. We find that the
distance from Boston to New York is
only third of that from Minot to
Minneapolis and that from here to
Minneapolis is considerable more than
that from here to Chicago. In other
words, taking the central portion Of
the nation an area such as we serve
and wherein our opportunities to be-
come a city are equal, to say the least,
with any other city in the state, and
you have the following cities, with
hundreds of other cities in the $4,000
class Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit
Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, " ashington, In
dianapolis and numerous others. That
is not all, but most Of these cities were
built in afew years. Fifty odd years
ago there was practically nothing west
Of Chicago, that city having only 4,10O
people in 1887, and scant $4,000 in
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-01-25

1860. Today l presume she has over
100000. However, the point ! wish
to make is that the territory west of
Chicago so odd years ago was unde-
veloped, no railroads or other ad-
vance agents of development, and
that Notwithstanding the fact in that
short space of time there has been
built the Twin Cities, Duluth, Milwau-
kee, Detroit, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, Grand Rapids and Dubuque,
with from 500 other cities with popula-
tions of from $4,000 to 100000.
1t can therefore be stated without
question that geographically and from
the standpoint Of distances Minot is
ideal. The next factor in city build
ing is transportation 1t seems that
this city is indeed fortunate in having
two of the four great American trans
continental railroad systems passing
thru and a third continental system
coming from the northwest, just added.
With these splendid facilities and its
midway advantages in shipment and
distribution and it's gateway position
so far as the great Canadian north
west is concerned, the location is un-
eXcelled.
Agriculture is the backbone of the
nation, and no one needs to be remind
ed that the fields of Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, eastern Montana
and Alberta constitutes the greatest
agricultural region on the American
continent, and our position in this re-
gion could not be better.
Not only in agriculture, however
are we favored, because it is already
known that at our very doors lies coal
in volumes to rival the Alleghanies

HOME OF THE STATES
CHAMPION GUERNSEY

Major E. S. Person has built up one
Of the very best stock farms in North
Dakota three miles west of Minot in
the valley. j. A. Sorenson, an excep-
tionally able dairyman, has been sup
erintendent of the farm for several
years. The idea Of the management is
the building up of breeding estab-
lishment where quality is always the
first consideration.
The farm work is done by registered
Belgian mares. These animals raise a
good colt apiece each year. The Major
recently purchased the fourth prize 2

to 800 per cent; that is to say, lots
purchased for $4,000 selling again at
$4,000 and $4,000 within a period of
less than three years. This advance in
price is Of course, primarily due to the
increase in business which is taking
place, because every time you add q
fourth to your population you double
the price of your real estate. This is
a fact well known to men who are IA
miliar with city property.
1t is only during the past year that
residents of the northwestern part of
this state have become intensely inter-
ested in Minot and her future, and we
find now a great many of them acquir-
ing holdings here, both business and
suburban.
1t is up to the business men of Mi
not to make good. The country and
territory demand all the advantages of
a city from the standpoint Of COM
merce, education and amusement. That
such will be fact soon to be realized
is heard wherever one goes and if we
but do our part the growth should
each year show an increase. The last,
and greatest need is the erection of
modern business buildings, making it
possible for new enterprises to come
in. With building record of almost
two million during the past year, there
is still a demand for space.
Nothing has been said in this article
of the beauties possessed by this
"Wonder City," Suffice it, however, to
mention that we have three parks with
total area of more than, 100 acres,
considered the most beautiful, in the
Northwest We also have splendid
common and high school facilities and
the new State Normal, which offers
excellent educational opportunities.

MinOt's Flour Mills.

Few of our citizens realize the enor-
nous amount of -four that is manufac-
tured each year in our city by our two
large flour mills.
In 1915 the total output was 246,-
1888 barrels, while in 1916 the mills
turned out 336,627 barrels.
The Russell-Miller Milling Co. man
ufacture the Occident brand and the
Minot Flour Mill the Snow White. We
grow the finest wheat in the world in
North Dakota for milling purposes
and these brands have won favor in all
parts of the United States.

MinOt's Up-tO-date Retail Establish
mQntS

Much has been written concerning
Minot wholesale and jobbing interests,
but we often lose sight Of our remark
ably up-to-date large retail establish
ments. A visit to our retail stores
will reveal the fact that they compare
very favorably with the best stores of
the large cities. They carry the latest
lines of merchandise. The buyers visit
the wholesale marts several times an
nually and the Minot stores always
show just as up-to-date stocks as can
be found on State street, Chicago. This
is not "hot air" And what is more
important, our stores actually sell
goods cheaper than the stores of the
large cities. We have heard this re-
mark time and again from Minot citi-
zens who have just returned from a
visit in the east, where they examined
the goods of the eastern stores and Sc
cured prices. Minot people no longer
have to go away to buy their needs.
Our ladies' and misses ready-to-wear
establishments, millinery stores, dry
goods stores, gents furnishing stores,
drug and jewelry stores and in fact
those of any line of business, are just
as modern and as we'll stocked as those
Of the larger cities. It is little wonder
that Minot is attracting buyers from
hundreds of miles in every direction.

H. Benno Never EARNED Before But
Made Good,

H. Benno, who owns one Of Ward
county's very best farms, never farm
ed before he came to North Dakota,
but he has made good. Here is Mr..
Benno's story of success:
81 filed on my homestead seven miles
southwest of Minot in 1901 and the
first year had only Is acres of crop.
I have always tried to do my farm
work carefully and well. l had never
farmed before coming to North Dakota
and perhaps one reason why got
along is because / did not have any,
thing to unlearn. l admit that / did
not know much about farming when
started in, but studied the best farm
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-01-25

The farm raises large crops of corn,
alfalfa, oats, barley and potatoes. The
alfalfa cuts four tons per acre and the
corn makes a large crop which is put
into silos and fed on the farm. The
barn is modern with James barn equip
ment. There is fine we'll of water on
the farm. The place has been electri-
fed, the electricity for lighting and
power being furnished by the Northern
States Power Co. of this city.

Minot Bank Clearances Double in Two
Years

The business that is being done in
city is told in a nut shell by glance
at the bank clearances. In 1900 the
clearances of the Minot banks totaled
$9,0O0,000; in 1915, $4,000, OOO, 900,
and in 1916, $18,500,O0. The growth
has been very remarkable.

Fifty Teachers Employed in Minot's
Public Schools.

Il uUl1C OCNOUIS.
The Minot schools rank with the
very best in North Dakota. More than
100 students are enrolled in our pub
lie schools. Bruce Francis is serving
his second year as superintendent. The
high school course includes the various
higher branches and in addition an
excellent commercial course is offered.
The Minot schools are paying great
deal of attention to the domestic
science and manual training depart
ments.
Fifty teachers are employed in the
public schools of the city, the monthly
payroll being $4,000. The public
school buildings include the Central,
High School, Lincoln, Mckinley and
Sunnyside buildings. A new high
school building that will cost more
than 100000 when completed, is now
under construction. This will provide
a mammoth auditorium which will seat
1900 people, while provision is being
made for a large gymnasium.
In addition to our public schools,
there are two commercial colleges, the
Minot College of Commerce and Tay-
lor's Shorthand School, with a large
enrolment. These institutions offer
as complete course as any institu-
tions of their kind in the state.
