The Ellendale Commercials Rea-
sons why Gov. Burke Should be
Renominated.
No one can say but that Governor
Burke has made good executive He
handled the threatened Indian outbreak
admirably, and the executive of no other
state in the Union would have done more
than Governor Burke did during the
grasshopper scourge in the northern part
of the state at critical period last year.
Only the most prompt measures and the
wlsest conduct of affairs could have pre-
vented vast destruction of property by
those voracious pests. Governor Burke
not only put into operation the machin-
cry which speedily made an end of the
threatened devastation, but he also went
down into his own pocket and paid out
$2500 to make the work of that
machinery effective. Many a man
in Governor Burke's place would have
been fatally slow to act in such an
emergency. He would have hesitated
to incur expense to the state to
suppress even SO destructive an agency
as an army Of grasshoppers infesting
local communities, to say nothing of ex-
pending his own money in such an under
taking, and it seems as if every inhabi-
tant, great and small. regardless of
personal aspirations and preferment,
politics or religion, ought out of graft
tude, if for 40 other reason, prove loyal
in the extreme to such benefactor.
Certainly not a county in the northern
part of the state which was threatened
with devastation by the grasshoppers
a year ago nor any leading citizens there
of, can think OF taking any part in
any plot or scheme to deprive the Gov
ernor Burke of a denomination and
election, and The Commercial believes
that they will all be found in line for the
governor, and that all other sections Of
the state will rally to his support when
the opportunity is offered.

REPORTS ON THE MILITIA.
Inspector General Creel Issues His
Annual ReDort

AAAudA nSpOEI.
The report of Inspector General Creel
of the North Dakota National Guard,
for 1891, has been issued. The report
gives an account of the encampment at
DEVILS Lake, and considerable informa-
tion about the militia and other matters
of a military nature. Referring to the
encampment one paragraph of the report
says:
Captain w. H. Kell, Twenty-second in
fantry, was detailed as inspecting officer.
To him, in great measure, is due the
advancement made while in camp. He
not only thoroughly inspected the entire
command, but acted as instructor during
the whole time. He was ably assisted
by Lieutenants Patten and Day,
Praise is due Colonel Miller, com
manding,, Captain Schwellenbach ad-
Jutant, also acting a6jutant general,
of cavalry, and indeed the whole COM
mand. Colonel Yorkey, chief of supply,
succeeded beyond expectation, and was
only excelled in activity by Colonel
Brown, chief engineer, the youngest
officer in camp. The camp would not
have been complete without the COVER
nor's personal staff, who contributed
largely to it's success. General and
sincere regret was expressed at the ab-
sence of General Bentley. The death of
private NJ. Langon, company e." first
regiment, while en- route to the encamp-
ment, caused by trying to jump from a
moving train to bid his wife and children
good bye, was the only incident that oc-
Cured to mar the JOY of this brief soldier
life. His death caused void in his
company that cannot we'll be supplied.
Lieutenant Creel recommends that a
militia poll tax of 50 cents be established
by the legislature, that the regiment be
increased to twelve companies, that the
time Of the annual encampment be in
creased to ten days, that the supply
department be separated into two depart
ments each with head officer and assist
ant, and pay Of former be made S. per
day and expenses on duty. Besides the
above there are many other recommen-
dations made that enter into ths details
Of militia work.

water. In eggette, water is expelled by
heat, and it 10 said leaves the percentage
of carbon very high.
Mr.. Burr is confident that q fine
quality Of coal will eventually be dis
covered IN this state. There is no geo.
logical reason why itshould not be found
in this latitude. Coal found in the mines
here shows the unmistakable impressions
of rank vegetation, even retaining the
outlines IT large stems, leaves and limbs.
At Dickinson some time ago
Mr.. Burr sunk a shaft
Is feet below a seven.foot vein of
Ignite, and struck four.foot vein of
much better fuel, but it was not of suffi-
cient thickness to mine protitably. He
believes that at lower levels than have
yeG been reached, MS good coal can be
had as any soft coal mined east or west.
In Montana there are several excellent
mines whose product is used by the rail
road company and by the public. Sand
stone and soapstone are always the
formations preceding or following the
Ignite strata. Below the old red sand
stone strata no coal has anywhere been
found, but rhis strata has never yet been
reached in this state. The reason why
the artesian we'll drill at Mandan, west
OF the Missouri, did not disclose traces
of the better quality of fuel believed to
underlle that region is that it has been
washed out, as the river runs not far
from the we'll.

Look Out for Emigrants.

Mr.. P.B.Groat, of the Northern Pacific,
was a passenger for Foster county Thurs
day. He said a good many new fam
lies were arriving in all parts Of North
Dakota this spring, and there would be
quite little immigration during the
summer. II there is good crop this
season, said Mr.. Grost, look out for
boom next year. "And when it comes it
will be to etay, too." he said.

The Democratic Convention.

A.. Blewett, j. Purcell Baker and Thos.
Driscoll returned Friday from Grand
Forks, where they attended the demo-
cratic state convention to choose six
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago G. A. Lieber, NJ. ]. Barrett, A.
Steinbach and Peter Haas were the other
delegates from Stustman county
The convention was largely attended
and full Of interest, there being two or
three pretty fights during the session,
over the craftsmanship and the method
of apportioning delegates. These, how
ever, resulted merely in establishing
more complete harmony at the close
each faction having learned to respect
the other. The convention was called to
order at 10 O'Clock, Thursday, at the
Opera house, and Hon. John Burke of
Rolette county, was chosen chairman.
After protracted discussion resolu-
tion was adopted providing for the elec-
ton of one delegate and one alternate
from each judicial district. Tracy
r. Bangs Of Grand Forks, led the opposi-
tion to this plan, and Mr.. Baker of this
city, was among the speakers in favor of
it. The vote was nearly two to one for the
selection by districts. After recess Of
half an hour, the following gentlemen
were chosen as delegates to Chicago:
First district N. Roach, Larimore;
alternate, w. ). Mooney, Langdon.
Second-J. F. O'Brien, Devils Lake;
alternate, Col. John Ely, MoHenr,.
Third-E. E. Cole, Fargo; alternate,
Budd Reeves, Buxton.
Fourth-W. E. Purcell, Wahpeton;
alternate, J A. T. Bjornson, Ashley.
Fifth-A. Blewett. jamestown; alter
nate, John Russell, Valley City.
Sixth. e. Campbell, Mandan; alter
nate, Joe Hare, Bismarck.
The question Of instruction at once
arose and heated discussion followed.
as many desired that the delegates 60
uninstructed and others wanted it. The
delegates were finally instructed to use
all means in their power to bring about
the nomination of Cleveland If he were a
candidate.
After the convention the state central
committee met and fixed the date for
the convention for the nomination Of
state officers, for July IA, at Fargo. The
representation will be one delegate at
large from each county and one vote for
every 100 votes cast for congressman.
Mr.. Blewett's friends in Jamestown
and this section Of the state are pleased
with his selection as member Of the
Chicago delegation, and extend congrat-
nlations upon the good judgment dis
played by the convention.

Is 1T GOOD FOR SEEDP.
Wheat Which Remains in Stack
Over Winter.

EDITOR ALERT: As considerable wheat
is still in the stack in this state, and
many OF our farmers are anxious to know
whether it is good for seed, and must of
necessity be Obliged to SOW it, if they
SOW much wheat this spring, an inquiry
into the conditions which make wheat
unfit for seed, whether at present in the
stack or bin. is one in which very many
of us are deeply interested.
Every farmer knows that frost has no
damaging effect upon the terminating
power of wheat as long as the grain is
kept dry. This holds good whether in
the stack or bin. Then what are the
conditions which make it unsafe to SOW
wheat that has remained in the stack
over winter? First, if the stacking is
done when the straw is wet and the
wheat Is damp; second, il the stacking is
done when the wheat and straw are dry,
but in such manner that, when the
stack settles, the center becomes the
lowest, so that the rain or snow falling
upon the stacks finds it's way into them,
instead of running off. Either condi.
tion produces the same result; namely,
the generating of great heat in the
stack, which destroys as effectively the
terminating power Of wheat in the stack,
as it does in the bin; hence
wheat that has passed through this
heating process is unfit for seed. Any
farmer who is depending upon threshing
wheat this spring for seeding should
carefully examine his stacks, and when
he finds that his wheat has passed
through this heating process, should con.
demn 1t at once as unfit for seed.
When the stacking is done if the straw
and wheat are very damp, although the
stacking has been done SO that the stack
will shed rain, still there may be enough
dampness in the stack to create sufficient
heat to destroy the germ and unfit the
wheat for seed. Any farmer can detect
this at once by the great amount OF blue
mold and dust around the thresher while
the wheat is being threshed. Barley and
oats beng protected by a covering may
not suffer as much az wheat, still great
care should be taken to avoid the above
conditions, in selecting either grain for
seed.
Gram stacked dry, and kept dry,
although it may remain in the stack
over winter is as good for seeding as
grain threshed dry and kept dry in bin
over winter. WALTER MUIR,
Hunter, N. D.

Az will be seen by these tests about half
the substance of Ignite coal was waste
material water. The cost of transport
ing that, and the fact that CRATES Of
stoves and boilers have not generally
been adapted for use Of the fuel have
rendered it, in the estimation Of the
public, largely inferior to the eastern
sott coal, and nothing cheaper IN price.
With fine CRATES, no stirring or disturb
anoe while burning, and with sufficient
draft, much better results are obtained.
It IL not, in it's present state, adapted to
locomotive use.
It ls said that analyses made within
the last year show much greater per
cent OF carbon, or heat producing quail
ties in proportion as the coal is mined
from lower depths. Tho deeper the mine
the better the fuel, % q rule. The vola-
tile matter above mentioned is chiefly

FUEL EXPERIMENTS.
The Relative Value of Eggette
Coal Being Tested
in Jamestown.
Much Interest Taken in The
Result. The Northern
Pacific Analysis.
A jamestown Democrat Sc
lected as a Delegate
To Chicago.

The test Of the relative values OF lig-
mite, eggette and soft coal was being
continued Friday at the Russell-Miller
mill. Thursday the Ignite was burned
in the furnaces, and the results on steam
and the work of the engines carefully
noted by Engineer Pettigrew. The vari-
alton of steam pressure, as indicated by
the engine, is made by means of dia-
gram taken on paper. Today the egg
cite is being burned and subjected to
the same scrutiny. All the fuel is
weighed, as we'll as the unburned por-
tion that falls through the CRATES. The
CRATES of the mill furnaces are not mar
row enough to burn the ignite to the
best advantage, but will answer for the
purposes of fair test. The eggette
makes hotter fire than the Ignite
that is one fact determined today. 1t
burns readily and does not break into
and fall to pieces, but the ashes drop off
in scales and the Jumps retain their shape
until almost entirely consumed. One
great advantage is the ease with which
it is handled by the tiremen. 1t is clean
and handsome fuel.
A number of gentlemen from dis
tance were witnessing the test Friday.
Messrs. McGlllivray and Auld, Dickinson,
arrived Thursday. Major Fleming and
Mr.. Erskine of Fargo, are also here. They
are awaiting the result of this trial with
good deal of confidence, as they believe
the egzette fuel will be- shown fully as
good as eastern coal it properly burned.
MIR. McGillivray says the manufacture of
the coal, if undertaken, will be at the
nine near Dickinson and that 100 tons
day can be made, or 200 working day
and night There is an unlimited guam
tity of the coal. The process of manu-
facture is simple. The ignite Is crushed
fine, passed into heater where the
moisture is evaporated, from there car
ried into the mixer where 5 per cent Of
tar is added, it is then moulded and ele.
vated into the car for shipment. But
short time is required to turn the coal
into eggette after leaving the mine.
It Is understood that the gentlemen
have the right to make the fuel for this
state, or have control Of it. It is aaid
that the coal can be sold to q profit in
Fargo at Sc ton.
AN EXPERTS VIEWS.
While public interest in the fuel prob
lem for North Dakota Is always keen,
and at present more 90 than usual, the
opinions of all who have had experience
in the mining of Ignite coal are worth
recording. A. H. Burr, fuel inspector of
the Northern Pacific road, and man
who has been in the fuel business in the
northwest for the past ten years, was in
the city Thursday. He is much inter
ested in the experiment. now being made
here with the various Goals. His ex
perlence with Ignite coal has been ex-
tensive. having opened mines and tested
the coal from the Missouri rlver to the
coast. In 1885 the railroad company
had made two analyses of Ignite, taken
from mines at Sims and Dickinson. The
result of the analysis Of the Sims Goa!

MILITARY NOTES.

The consolidated mess hall at Fort
Sam Houston has not, as yet, been turned
over to the Post. 1t was to have been
last month, and had it so happened 1T
would now be occupied. The general
opinion of the enlisted men is that it will
be used for some other purpose. They
want it for post gymnasium.
Major Vrom, formerly of the Third cav
airy, has settled down to his new duties
as Inspector General of the military post.
1t is not known when the Bird cavalry
troops will return to the post from the
border and it is thought that they will
remain but a short while when they do, as
they are to transfer with the 5th cavalry,
now in the Indian Territory. This change
will occur some time in the coming May.
The officers and enlisted men of this regi
ment have many friends in San Antonio
and over the whole state who will greatly
mourn their loss.
Private Frank Higgins, battery +, 3rd
artillery, will receive his discharge on or
about the 18th inst. He gets it by pur-
chase.
The children at Fort Sam houston will
give their regular bi-weekly hop tonight
at the post hop room. The 23rd infantry
band orchestra will furnish the music for
the occasion.
The 23rd infantry band rendered a com
plimentary concert in front of Lieutenant
Sage's quarters to Mrs. Pendleton, who is
