' 'All that has ever prevented the growing of celery in Watauga on a large and very profitable scale, is the lack of Shipping facilities,- as it luxuriates here. In fact, we have heard it said'that by those1 who have experimented with it ' here, that Watauga's celery was ' an easy rival of the far-famed Celv( ery grown at Kalamazoo, 'Mich. Yes,'Dr., when your road is com pleted to Watauga, you will find that the raising, of celery will be. one of the big crops in Watauga, as it would be a better paying crop than cabbage or, possibly, than any other one that could be grown here, when we get facilr ties for putting it on the market. fin uu you eari liVe on pike roads out Of State Normar School, fire proof ;:v-;.:-:,f':v.,- OIL ACROSS A WILDERNESS. -Recent discovery of new and promisipg oil fields in a. remote section of Canada has served to impress the people with the vast ness of this country. The trav eler along the Canadian Pacific, for example, is obsessed with the feeling that there cannot be much of a strip of land . between him and the. North Pole, and yet, in fact he is still well into the "interior."- of the Country. It seems that with discovery of Ahese oil fields the Canadian Government found Itself confronted with the question as to what it could do a bout it. Fort Norman is the nearest point to the locality of the oil and Fort Norman is 1,000 miles from a railroad. Of course London heard of the oil discov ery and of the predicament de veloped, and at once set about to solve the trouble. Utilization of the war tank for transportation service was the idea worked out, and the guarantee is to move freight across any ground, such as prairie, desert, ditches, small drifts and gulleys, scrub and treeless jungle, forests of trees not more than 18 inches in diam- .the mud, and where you can higlTschool and four of, the - .;. ;.;;.; eter three feet from the ground also swamp, ice and snow. : The tanks are capable of a speed of 15 miles per hour, and are said to be cheaper ,in operation than agricultu ra! caterpillars. The fever for oil thefld-ktJGragg clbrking to Board 41 85: seems akin to that of the lever for gold in the 40s and new aaJ strange sights are being staged for the great wilderness that in tervenes between civilization and the - remote territory which is now to be brought under exploi tation by the overland oil tank transportation line.
