IT seems that Representative Thomp-
sons bill for the leasing Of school lands
didn't get to the governor before ad-
journment and is therefore not law. It
has passed both houses and only needs
the signatures of the presiding officers.
This is an important measure one Of
the most important that this Legislature
will have to do with, and the TRIBUNE
publishes the bill at length on another
page. <.

EDITOR WARNocK of the jamestown
Capital speaks as follows of Represents
tive Williams bill requiring the use of
native coal in the various public institu-
tions of the state:
Representative Williams has introduced
a bill in the legislature requiring the pub
lie institutions of North Dakota to use coal
the spirit of this bill, and if proper safe
guards can be constructed about it to pre-
vent the coal owners from forming trust
and robbing the state in the deal we be-
lieve the plan is a good one. 1t would
keep thousands of dollars in the state that
otherwise will go into the Golfers of the
coal barons of the east. Not only this, but
coal mines and would probably lead to a
more general consumption of our home
product by our people. If the coal could
be had at a reasonable figure inventive
genius would soon furnish stoves suitable
for burning it.
There need be no apprehension of coal
owners forming trust. The native pro-
duct is too plentiful. 1t underlies re.
gion comprising nearly $4,000 square
miles, in which no less than fifty mines
are now being worked to a greater OF
less degree. Besides by provision ot
the state constitution, which Mr.. vii.
iams succeeded in getting inserted, all
public lands bearing Ignite coal, which
shall come into possession of the state
can never be sold, but are to be leased in
such a manner as the legislature may
provide. Section 155 of the constitution
reads as follows:
Sec. 155. The coal lands Of the state
shall never be sold, but the legislative as
sembly may, by general law. provide fol
shall include lands bearing Ignite coal.
This is one Of the most important pro
visions in the constitution and those who
have not studied the constitution care
fully may have overlooked it. All thai
is necessary to popularize our native
coal, develop this great industry, give
employment to thousands of laborers
furnish cheap fuel to all portions O
North Dakota and keep within the stat.
thousands Of dollars now be
ing sent out yearly to eastern
coal barons, is to secure lower transpor
tation rates on all railroads and compe
all state institutions to use Dakota coal
The regulation Of rates within the stat.
(, is entirely within the power Of the legis
lature and no more important legislation
affecting greater interests, can b
brought before the present body thai
this. The Mandan Pioneer in speaking
Of the unjust rates now exacted by th
railroad companies on this commodit,
says: "If the Northern Pacific woul1
haul q train load Of Ignite coal to Fargo
consisting Of twenty cars, with fiftee1
tons Of coal il each total Of 800 tom
for 91.25 9 ton say 1876 for the train
the people in Fargo would for once i
their lives get 9 very cheap fuel. Tha
coal could be retailed in Fargo for IS
ton by the single ton, or $275 by th
car load delivered. .Stss SIX

Danger of Drinking Ice Water.

Water for drinking purposes should never
be below 80 degrees We can almost always
get it even in the hottest weather as cool as
this by letting it run for minute or two
from any household faucet, or drawing it
from Eany country well Ii not, there is no
objection to cooling it to the point mentioned.
The East India monkey" which can now be
had almost anywhere in this country, and by
means of which the contained water Is cooled
by its own evaporation, answers the purpose
admirably. am quite sure that if ice water
should be generally discarded as drink, the
average duration of lie woald be heightened
and existence rendered more tolerable DR..
