Encourage Home Industry.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Will.
liams requiring all state institutions
to use North Dakota coal for heating
purposes is proper measure and de-
serves the favorable consideration of
the legislature. Fully one-third of
North Dakota is underlaid with coal,
the veins being from three to twenty
seven feet in thickness. While the
coal is Ignite and is not equal in con.
venicnce in handling or FOR commerce
to anthracite coal, it is equal to it in
heating power and its use and the
development of the coal fields ought
to be encouraged. The 100000 per
annum spent for fuel for these state
institutions would buy 5000 tons Of
North Dakota coal delivered at the
several institutions, and feed many
North Dakota mouths and it would
be far better to spend it for the home
products, even if equally expensive,
than to spend it for foreign coal.
The capitol at Bismarck, the penlten-
tiary and almost all Offices, stores and
other buildings at Bismarck, Mandan,
Dickinson and other points in west
ern North Dakota are heated with
this coal. The government uses it at
it's military posts, and there is no
good reason why the state should not
follow the example.
Referring to the auditors report
for 1887 and SIS shows that the
amount of money paid for fuel and
lights for the North Dakota public
buildings during these two years was
us follows:
Heating Capitol $ 3.701 o.
Grand Forks University 1900 90
Bismarck P~cnitentiary $500 40
North Dakota Hospital for

SALISBURY, duly 3l.-rne storm IN this
county during the past few days has been
the most severe in the rscollsotiona of the
oldest inhabitants. Rain began falling
Thursday morning, continuing uutiI yes
terdsy, during which time over - inches
of water fell.
County roads are flooded and hundreds
of bridges are swept away. Tine storm
was most severe in the western portions
of the county especially in ryaskin
district where water to the depth OF ~ TO
20 inches is standing in the road for
miles.
Lightning struck the barn of William
T. Darby at Riverton, yesterday, damag.
ing it considerably. A bolt also set fire
to his wheat shocked near the barn con
cunning considerable portion OF it.
The storm has greatly damaged all
crops especially the corn. William b,
Bratton, the biggest corn grower of
Wicomico, who sells yearly from 900 to
5000 bushels of corn says he will not
raise enough this year to feed his stock
until the next crop comes of.
Peach growers are also heavy losers as
the excessive rains have prevented the
gathering of the fruit In many orchards
near Salisbury the ground is so wet that
it Is impossible to drive a team through
them and piokers are compelled to wadt
almost waste deep in mud aud water
The loss to farmers and fruit grover
cannot be estimated. ID. l.. u.
