The cattle shipping season is over, says
the Mandan Times, although there is oc-
casionaly Il train.load going east. The
average price during the season has been
fair, which has caused the marketing of
an unusual number of cattle, and this
will cause II shortage next year, thus
keeping the price up The outlook for
the cattle industry is bright.
The Bottineau Pioneer has a pleasant
word for Senator Hansborough, and says
''As the days 20 by we believe the people
of this state will become more firmly

that such pressure of public opinion will
be brought TO bear on our representatives
ut Bismarck that Mr. Hansbrough will
have no opposition.

There seems to be no doubt that plenty
| of Ignite coal underlies the surface in
Emmons county in many places. There
| are now three mines in active operation,
all in the north half Of the county The
first mine opened was that of S. Z. Brin-
die, q few miles southwest of Williams
port. Then Squire Edick, who was the
pioneer coal prospcctor and who UNDER
mined the earths surface in his neigh
| borhood until it resemblcd badger den,
found coal in paying quantities and a
few weeks ago Frank Smith and Tommy
Reams opened another mine. Coal Of
good quality is being mined and sold
from all three of these mines this winter
and some of it is being hauled by settlers
who live down near the South Dakota
line. Besides these three mines, there is
another on the farm of Andrew Kalherer,
near Williamsport. from which few
loads of coal were taken one winter, and
which it is said would pay for working as
well as any of the others. Those pioneer
prospectors who have discovered and
opened coal veins have not only done a
good thing for themselves, but for the
rest Of the people of the county as well,
for-railroad or no railroad-it assures us
continuous supply of cheap fuel.
