In the formation of the company
great care was exercised in the selcc-

Whlch resulted in the election of three

is also vice president and general

charge of the financing of the cor
poration.
But again referring to the public's
introduction to the ranch, the crowd.
after having first Inspected Mr. FnI,
TONS barbccued Poland Chinas, turned
their attention to the many evidences
OF development. For instance. the
large 270 ton slos which are Of ex-

3oo II. long; the erection of the big
Dredging machine which, while not in
operation at the present time, gave
evidence of real drainage work which
we understand, will be started within
few days.
Everyone, however, seemed to no
most particularly interested in the
cattle, the last and least of which was
an day Old white-face beauty which

The guests were further entertained
with addresses by f.. L. Thomas. w

Davis expressed their faith in the sue
cess of this undertaking, while Mr..
Campbell proved that the enterprise
could not possibly be a failure with
the splendid opportunities which the
location affords.
Mr.; Stabler was also called upon for
a talk, but refused upon the ground
that he had already had personal bust
ness talks with practically every one
present: He stated that he was more
than willing, however, to furnish any
information desired with reference to
the Company and its stock, but that
ne preferred to talk to one man at a
time.
After these talks the crowd dis.
pcrsed, much pleased with the splen
ana prospect of growth of the cattle
industry IN this community.

CAROLINA STOCK FARMS
FORMALLY OPENED To
THE PUBLIC TUESDAY

On tuesday, the 18th day of Sept,
1913, large and representative
crowd had the pleasure Of personally
inspecting what is fast becoming to
be one of our largest and most prom
lslng local institutions. At the invita-
ton OF the company the stockholders
ana their friends gathered on the
rahch at Eoreston, where they were
first fortified against starvation by
the splendid barbecue prepared bv
Mr.. Charlie Fulton, the premier fish
stew and barbecue artist of the South,
rms was unquestionably enjoyed bv
all present, but no more so than the
opportunity to personally view the
nerd OF beautiful and sturdy Here
iord heifers, which has lately arrived
from the largest ranches of Texas.
rms marks the beginning of the high
grade beef cattle industry in this sec
tion of the South.
Some ten or twelve years ago, Mr..
Courtney Campbell commenced to
prepare himself in his characteristic
ally thorough way for the cattle bust
ness, recognizing it as one of the
great opportunities of our country.
For this preparation he has not only
ranchcd extensively in this country
ana III Europe, absorbing practical in
formation at first hand from men in
the business, but has for some years
past been actively engaged in the
various branches of this business, one
OF the most important of which in this
part OF the country, is thorough
knowledge of proper drainage of land.
Mr.. Campbell was for some wears
connected with one of the large enpin-
eering companies which was engaged
IN draining immense areas of on.
nclghboring state, North Carolina
Alter having acquired the practical
knowledge in this line he has since
been engaged in the most stable line
OF agriculture, producing high grade
peel cattle for the market OH Mary
land land worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
Mr.: Campbell was convinced that if
this business could ne successfully
conducted on land of such high value
and where climatic conditions we're
comparatively unfavorable, that a far
greater profit would be realized by
establishing a ranch IN "The Sunny
South" He therefor- gave a great
deal OF consideration to the most ad-
vantageous locality, which resulted in
the purchase of this company's hold
ings at Foreston, comprising 4,3OO
acres.
The next step was the formation Of
The Carolina Stock Farms, Inc, a
company with an authorized capital
of $500 900, one half of which is pre-
ferred and one half common stock.
The orlginators of the company in
vested $4,000 in the form: ton of the
company, the purchase of the land,
etc. These assets were then turned
over to the Company In lieu Of stock
IN the company, 70 per cent of which
was taken in the Common stock. TO
further finance the organization

ADDITION TO COLD
 STORAGE PLANNED

IL is understood that extensive ad- ditions are 10 be made to the big cold storage plant Of the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Co, Ltd. in this city. More compressor power is to be installed so that no matter what amount Of fish freezing is going on the maximum amount Of ice will be produced each day, namely, eighty tons. At present the plant produces only forty tons day during the time that the need for i. is most. Only when the cold storage rooms are not required the maximum of eighty tons is reached
 Besides the addition Of the freezing apparatus preparations are being made for furnishing the upper story Of the building This will add 10 the storage caDacity 10 the extent Of about five million pounds Of fish and will mean Q great accommodation 10 the whole coast from Skagway south.
 The improvement of the cold stor- age plant should have the effect Of stimulating the fishing industry from this port. Not only will it mean that next year there will be plenty Of stor- age accommodation for all the fish caught in the neighborhood, but it will mean that fishermen will be able 10 get ice whenever they want it, so that there will be no delays in boats not being able 10 take out ice with them.-Prince Rupert News.
