Gee us soon. The Bismarck Agency the average annual rainfall of 8.34|~ 8.86 | Boasts Large Hands He writes the Gettysburg Ad- dress on a single human hair, in * one continuous line. On exhibi- tion, the hair is under @ 45-power lens. He does it with hands that look like they're more used to swinging an ax. His name is James Zaharee; his occupation—small writing. A native North Dakotan, he has won nation-wide fame with his ability to write many words on little space. For the last three years he has worked for Robert L. “Believe-It- or-Not” Ripley. This week he has been appearing in Bismarck with the Goodman Wonder Shows, Hands Not Delicate And delicate, tapering fingers are not part of his equipment. Zaharee is tall and muscular, and his arms and hands are in pro- Portion. He takes no special care of his valuable digits, except to exercise them occasionally. Zaharee does most of his writ- ing on grains of rice. “Ripley has publicized rice-writing,” he explained, “so that to the. public @ grain of rice is something very tiny. Rice also presents a fairly good writing surface.” Even when writing on hair, Zaharee magnifies his work no more than 28 times. He mixes his own ink, and uses special pens made in England, which he then fashions to his own purpose. When writing on hair, he uses & pen whose point is eight times as fine as the hair itself. Nor does he seek out coarse hair on which to scribble. Zaharee pre- fers blonde hair, slightly finer than the average. Wears No Glasses Zaharee is no freak. He is dark and good-looking. He does not wear glasses. He simply has good eyesight and the ability to control the movement of his fingers to a high degree. Lots of people have the ability to write small, Zaharee says. But he has little competition—there 4s only one other professional small writer in the country. Zaharee was born and raised in Max. He attended high school and the state teachers college at Minot. He became interested in small writing through amateur contests, and left North Dakota about 10 years ago.

Total delegates’ fees are ex- Rected to exceed $500,000. Delegates represented 85,000 rail- road workers employed by 21 major railroad lines in the country. A spe- cial assessment added to annual dues paid by workers provides the con- vention expense fund, McNamee said. McNamee, 69, and a veteran of 46 years’ service in the brotherhood, ex- pressed the opinion the six-hour work |day likely would be the next objective of the organization.

J. Beakey, board secretary, in a report of the board’s irrigation oper- ations. Of this number 52 projects have been surveyed and mapped, tracings of the land and irrigation works have been made for 45 and complete maps and engineering data sent to 28, Twenty-one pumping plants have been designed and equipment has been ordered for 24 projects with delivery having been made on 18. Altogether, the records show, 152 requests for investigations have been received by the board and prelimin- ary investigations have been made in 147 of these cases. Sixty have been listed as not feasible or have been placed in the inactive file and 77 have been approved. Many of the rejections ordered by the commission have been based on reports of chemists as to soil and water conditions. In some parts of Western North Dakota, Beakey ex- plained, soil and water have a ten- dency toward alkalinity and attempts to irrigate would harm rather than help the land.
