IS subjected to a chemical process,
after which it is partially dried and
them compressed in the form in which
it is to be put upon the market. The
pressure that it is subjected to is enor-
nous for two reasons, first to get it in
the smallest possible space for con-
venience and second to make it as econ
omical fuel as possible
Considerable interest is manifested
in the project by number of the bust
ness men of the city who have exam
ined the product and are confident that
the scheme will be a great success if
the cost of manufacture does not prove
too great, which Mr.. Edison is sure
will not be the case The outcome of
the venture will be closely watched by
everyone, as should it prove as sue
cessful as is anticipated, it will prove
great thing for the people of the
northwest where the fuel item is of
such Importance.
The fact that the promoter of the
enterprise, is a, brother of the electri-
clan, Thomas A. Edison, and that the
experiments were conducted in his
laboratory causes greater faith to pc
attached to its success.

ATTENDANCE LARGER.

STATE UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT
SHOWS A LARGE INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR. -
Grand Forks, Sept. 27.-The attend
ance at the opening of the university
yesterday was 5u per cent larger than
1T was at the opening of the college
year 80. This is a very fattering
showing and far exceeds the expecta-
tons of the faculty, many members of
which had formed an opinion that the
attendance at the opening of the term
would not be as heavy as it was year
ago, figuring that the fact that the
crops had proved somewhat disappoint-
ing would operate to lower the attend
ance at the fall term at least. The fact
that the attendance shows an increase
OF 80 per cent over the opening last
year and the further fact that last year
was the banner year of the university
makes the present outlook most fat
tering as far as attendance during the
present year is concerned At the
law school several new students regis
tered and practically all the old stu
dents are expected back. IT, s.

WALL STREET FULL OF REPORTS
OF SETTLEMENT OF THE COAL
STRIKE. 81
New York, Sept. 27.-Wall street is
full of the report regarding the coal
strike today. The best opinion is that
the strike is on the verge of settlement
and that the announcement of an
agreement will De made before the end
of the week. 1t is learned the oper-
ators will give an advance in wages of
10 per cent and President Mitchell of
the mine workers will waive claim to
recognition of the union. Mark Han
ma, it is said, has pressed the question
of settlement and it is now in his
hands. A prominent Wall street man
said at noon today it would be we'll to
look to Hanna for news of settlement
of the strike. Coal men wont talk.

the miners held aloof from politics, and
stood upon the justice of their cause,
the strength of their organization and

Grand Forks, Sept. 27.-S. Ogden
Edison of East Orange, N. j., has been
in the city for the past few days COM
pleting arrangements for the election
of plant at McCanna for the manu-
facture of a fuel product from straw
and other fbrous matter. Mr.. Edison
has spent years in Investigating and
perimenting TIL he is now sure that
the fruits Of his labor will solve the
fuel question. He claims that what
Ut has heretofore taken nature centur-
les to do by his process, can be accom-
iplished in ten hours. He says that
the product has been thoroughly tested
and that it can be1used for all purposes
for which wood or coal is used at the
present time, and that the results are
as satisfactory in the blacksmith's
forge as in the furnace OF under the
boiler AS to the cost he is quite GER
tain that it can be put upon the mar
ket at q cost that will make it a far
cheaper fuel than either wood or coal
at the present time. The plant to be
constructed at McCanna at once will
De the first OF the kind ever built and
he will rush it to completion as soon
as possible that he may demonstrate
publicly that he can substantiate all
his claims regarding the product. The
machinery has already been ordered
from the east and he expects to have
the plant in operation within the next
two months. The samples he has
with him are in the shape Of a hollow
cylinder, about five inches In diameter.
HIS method. as far as he will divulge
1t, is to first boil the straw and then
Igrint 1t TO d pulp. Foilowing this ii

ELECTRIC LINE.
ENGINEER PETTIGREW BELIEVE
ONE SHOULD BE BUILT TO THE


Jamestown, Sept. ~ Engineer Pet
tigrew states that the time has come
when switch from the railroad should
be run to the asylum SO that coal could
be delivered at the boiler house from
i the cars and fuel shipped direct from
the mines. He suggests that a light
electric railway could be built by the
institution and the saving effected
would soon repay the outlay. 5S.5
It is believed that fuel could be laid
down at the boiler house at a saving
of 40 or so cents a ton from present
prices and save the institution annu-
ally more than the interest on an in
vestment of say $50, 900 on rough es-
Innate. The cost Of hauling fuel to
the institution is now about 81 400 an
nually and this is but a part Of the
{ freight business Of the hospital.
The. olloWing is Mr.. Petit s aes-
inmate Of amounts necessary for his
department for the coming two years:
fa Fuel for two years, S23, 900.
The last legislature did not appro-
pirate sufficient for fuel and It is esti-
mated at the close Of the biennial per-
y iod there will be- a deficiency of several
thousand dollars. The legislature d5d
not make the appropriation SUFFICIENT
5 for the ordinary needs Of the institu-
ton without the addition Of any more
buildings and in this biennial period
two additional buildings have been
erected.

sPENCERs OFFICE ITCH
GETS THE FUSION NOMINATION
FOR JUDGE.-EoRMER ATToR-
NEY GENERAL.

NEY GENERAL.
Grafton, N. D., Sept. 27.The nom
ination of odd Necessity Spencer by
the fusion convention for district Judge
Of the Seventh district has made the
election Of w. ]. Kneeshaw, the re-
publican nominee, almost certainty.
Spencer mas an itch for office. He
was attorney general under the Burke
administration. In 1896 he crossed
the line into the, populist camp on the
silver issue and was the nominee Of the
fusionists of the Seventh district for
judge. He was defeated in a three
cornered contest by a plurality of 81
votes out of a total of 9,O7S.
This year the democrats of The Sew
enth wanted fusion, and also desired
to sidetrack Spencer. But Spencer
would not have it that way. The in
dependent and democratic conventions
met at st. Thomas on the same day.
Spencer was nominated by the pops
&c.
and Attorney Meyers of this city by the
democrats. Spencer would not fuse
unless he was named Neither can
didate could get on the ballot as the
independ dent-democratic nominee. An
agreement was reached and both with
drew. Meyers agreeing not to re-en-
ter the contest. ~
A joint convention was called. The
democrat column, the name used by the
counties withdrew from the conven-
tion after a spirited fight, in which il
was shown that the Spencer crowd in
tended to deprive the democrats in Athe
convention of portion Of their vote
by an arbitrary ruling Of spencers
chairman. y "a .ss
It is. claimed that there are several
irregularities in the calling of the
county conventions and the work OF
the judicial convention, enough to form
a basis for; an attempt to keep Spen-
GERS name out of the independent
democat column, the name used by the
fusion crowd to designate their state
ticket. It Is also pretty we'll under
stood that this fight against Spencer
will be made, and in case it is success
full, he will be forced to go on the bal
lot by petition. In either instance his
defeat can be put down as almost GER
tain, as it is a ten-to-one shot that the
democrats throughout the4district VIII
use the knife freely. rS
