LIGNlTE COAL BIDDERS,
Miners Of North Dakota Coal
Seeking a State Con-
tract Here.
Some Future Possibilities of
the States Fuel Sup
ply Given.

At the asylum Thursday afternoon
eight bids for furnishingthat institution
with native coal for the ensuing year were
opened. Tie bids ranged in price, with
Dut one exception, higher than the
present contract price-s292-and that
was one OF two bids put in by G. A. Bur
ton OF Bismarck. The bids in detail
were as follows: G. A. Burton, Bismarck,
Sims coal, s2.s91s per ton; II. r. Lyon,
Mandan. 1926 per. ton; A. Gillis, New
Salem, Baby Mine coal, $40 per ton; G.
A. Burton, Bismarck, 1912 per ton; Gull
Rlver Lumber Co.. Lehigh coal, s3.15
per ton; Geo. Lutz, city, Lebigh coal,
s3.l9 per ton; and Leligh Coal Mining
Co., $500 per ton of 210C pounds. Ton
as previously used means 2OOO pounds.
Ed W. George of the Beaver Creek mine
at Gladstone, Offered coal at S1.5O per
ton +. 0. b. cars-making cost here 1916
per ton. Bid rejected as it did not con-
form to regulations. Awarding of con-
tract was delayed until arrival of Trus-
tees McGinDis and Paulson, who were
expected IN on the afternoon train. A.
=. McGillivray, Dickinson; G. A. Burton,
Bismarck; Mr.. Wadeson, Sims: II. r.
Lyon, Mandan; G. E. Blackwell. Mime
apolis; Mr.. Riley, Dickinson, and Major
Fleming, Fargo. were in attendance to
see the fate OF their bids. The last ap-
preparation for fuel for the institution
for two years was S22,6OO- requiring a
supply OF Ignite of about $500 tons per
year.

Democracy and Plutocracy.

This is the tenth summer have put IN
in North Dakota, and think 1 have
never known the ground so dry the 10Th
OF June as it is today. The early grain
is heading ouG very short and slim. Late
sown flax and millet has not terminated
and cannot till We get rain. Ii any are
unfortunate enough to have little
old wheat on hand they would do better
than to rush it on the market at present.
How shall we vote? This is ques-
ton the people in the northwest are pom
dering seriously. The old democratic
party, once apparently dead and buried,
like the snake in the fable, has by fair
promises been warmed into life only to
strike it's deadly fangs the deeper into
the life OF the people. Had the republi-
can party instead of at the close of the
war becoming the party of Doodle been
true to its pledges, the old democracy
would never again have have come into
power. With both old parties q mean
the controlling elements) banded to-
gether in the interests OF trusts and the
money power, there seems no alternative
but for combination OF all we'll wishers
for their country to make one united ef-
fort to free themselves from monop-
oly's grasp and European dictation.
There are but two parties now-trne
democracy and plutocracy.

Dakota Coal Possibilities

Major Fleming, one of the owners ofthe
Lehigh mine at Dickinson, saws: There
is more wealth for the people of this state
ID the coal deposits than in all the wheat
land we have. Wheat has not fraction
of the value which our coal mines could
show If properly utilized. The people of
the state spend annually about S7,OOO,-
VOO for fuel-eastern coal at IS, $40 and
Sl4 for each 1900 pounds. II North
Dakota had prohibitory tariff on east
ern coal, and would use this fuel at
even present prices, it would save the
state nearly s5,0O0,00O year. The only
prohibition We need aga1nst eastern coal
is lower freight rates. If the United
States, outside OF this state, were to ab.
solutely cease mining coal, North Da-
kota could furnish the W. ole
country fuel for 1000 years. The annual
consumption of all kinds OF eastern coal
is about 179.0OO,OOO tons, and saying it
required 25O,0OO,OOO tons of Ignite to
equal the other, We can supply the
country for centuries. as there are IN
western coal deposits of this state over
five hundred billion tons of coal, based
on the least calculation. Why, there are
over 100000 in our one small mine at
Dickinson.
The objections to burning Ignite are
bound to be removed by the invention of
stoves for burning the coal. A St. Paul
firm will shortly have on exhibition a
specially invented range and heater.
which is triumph in its way and burns
the coal economically and satisfac-
torily. A St. Louis firm has also been
experimenting with stove for Ignite,
and the house writes me that they have
a burner which gives more heat than an
thracite, the result beng obtained by the
forcing of hot air on the Stacked fuel
and the burning of the gas generated
instead of the COAL

Notes From Sargent County.

Sheriff Peter Christianson of Forman,
Sargent county arrived Thursday with an
asylum patient, Nels jaeger, a property
owner of the county, who seems to have
become insane on religion. He has re-
Gently been confined at Rochester, MINI,
and by some means found his way to
Grant county, S. D. The officials of the
Ysnkton hospital declined to receive
him, not being resident OF the state,
and hls home was discovered by them to
be in Sargent county, where he was cent
and from there to the hospital here.
Tie sheriff states that on the trip from
Forman to Cakes, Thursday. he found
several fields of wheat where the Russian
cactus appeared and has spread over
them like mat. Even on the knolls the
wheat can scarcely be seen and of course
the crop IS ruined. No one can realize
the destructive powers OF this weed who
has not seen it. The appearance OF the
cactus this year in such quantities is
serious cause for alarm, and residents
where the pest has taken hold fear it will
overrun the entire country If some means
Of killing it out are not taken at once.
Az to politics, Sheriff Christianson
thinks that Congressman johnson would
easily carry Sargent county again, in
spite of any opposition. and il the dem
ocrats and independents combine 1t
would make republican success very
doubtful, as the county at the last cleo.
ton showed large independent vote.
"Most of the Scandinavians are pOpu-
lists, and two years ago the republicans
who did pull through in onr county just
got there, and that's all, said the sheriff.
Crops are looking we'll in the county,
but need rain.

Elevator Deals.

The creditors of the Red River Valley
Elevator company that failed last year
are not likely to realize ID full for their
claims unless the stockholders put up
the deficit The liabilities were 100000
and but $4,000 have been paid. G. W.
Van Deusen bid $1Sc,O00 for the forty
eight elevators in Minnesota and this
state, leaving the creditors still $4,000
in the hole, If the bid is accepted.
The Red River company paid big
profits on its legitimate business, and
only failed when the managers we're not
satisfied with getting the best of the
producer, but got into speculation TO
make more, and lost money for their
stockholders in the attempt

vators realized S345,0O0, which has been
paid to creditors, leaving balance due
OF S75O,OOO, and where this amount is
coming from is a mystery to the stock
holders, as we'll as creditors. The ele-
vators in Idaho and Washington. belong

time ago for S63,5OO, leaving the elevat-
ors in Oregon, Minnesota and North Da-
kota undlsposed Of. They will be sold
this year, it IS expected, but there Will
remain large deficit to be arranged for
or left unsettled, as the court and cred
itors may determine.
The farmers in the states where these
exist hope for better management in
the future than in the past and the com
petition facilities that have appeared in
recent years in the shape Of shipping fa-
cilities seem to warrant the belief that
such will be the case.

Mrs Elsenhuth has made one of the best

seems to me that we will do we'll to
follow this example by electlng woman

the name Of teaching one of the best
schools IN her district. Every one Of her
school patrons endorse her, which is not
always the case. There is nearly always
some who have faults to find. 1t seems
to me that farmers can surely among
themselves find some one who can look
after their schools without going to the
city. When the city elects mayor or
other officer they do not come to the
country for some one to fill 1t. When We
farmers have only one office elected en-
tirely by our vote, it is only right to our
selves that some of the farmers should
get our votes.

ministration.
"Ihe chief objection I hear to the gen
eral administration OF my Office" said
Gov. Shortridge last night, lis that I did
not veto large number Of appropriation
bills. think this objection is not so
great when the facts are fairly consid-
cred. The state would have had money
enough to promptly pay the bills had not
times become so hard that people could
not pay taxes as promptly as usual. Then
1t must be remembered that the bills
signed were the necessary maintenance
OF the institutions already in existence. I
did veto about 100000 of appropriations,
among them S25, 900 for the state asylum
bonds, $4,000 for state university bonds,
$4,000 for additional buildings for the
two Normal schools, $4,000 for the school
of mines at Grand Forks unsverslty, and
$4,000 for the higher education of all the
state. These facts think should not be
forgotten in consideration of this mat
ter"
There has been good deal of inquiry
among farmers and independents, why
the smaller merchants in the towns IN
this state are actively and generally op-
posed to fusion or TO the new party.
These merchants have strong influence
and the farmers cannot see why they
should SO generally oppose any new po-
lltlcal movement looking towards a
change for the better in the condition of
the very men who are the merchants
best customers. One reason why the
country merchants are opposed to the
popul1st movement is said to be chat
travelling men are constantly preaching
this opposition to the merchant, and are
instructed to do so by the jobbing
houses. Jobbers extend credit to coun-
try merchants and the travelling statesmen
are direct representatives of the whole
salers. The big financial institutions,
the banks of the east, extend credit to
jobbers, and so the chain of influence
runs direct from the money institutions
down through the country merchant to
the small farmer who is for more GOV
ernment issued money and less bank con-
troled currency. Several salesmen whose
personal politics are we'll known to be
democratic have been constantly op-
posed to fusion and when the subject of
politics is introduced refer to the popu-
list as crank or otherwise ridicule him
and the present administration, and de-
clare they will vote for republicans be-
fore voting for joint ticket OF demo
cratic and independent nominees. If
this explanation Of the general hostility
OF country merchants and travelling men
to the new movement is correct, the
weight of such arguments will naturally
be considerably reduced among the
farmers, hereafter" said a delegate yes
terday, "for We will know that the trav
cling man has been talking this to the
merchant, in order to hold his job
