THERE'S something In the idea
advanced by the Turtle Mountain
Star that if the state wants to have
state penetentlary Irvine advertised
it should pay for it the same as the
local dealers. The implement
dealers of the state at convention
lately held at the Forks passed a
warm resolution condemning the
binder Irvine manufactured at the
penltent larry. The resolution even
went further and stated that the
Irvine was inferior in quality and
strength to that manufactured by
free labor, and that the price
charged was not enough cheaper
to make up the difference to the
farmer aud pay him for using the
prison product The establish
ment of the plant at the penetenti-
ally was referred to as a trust
organized and run with the
peoples money. The resolution
urged the repeal Of the measure
providing an appropriation for the
plant. The members also placed
themselves upon record AS opposed
to trusts; in favor Of the repeal of
the bankruptcy law; in favor of
the international revenue tax on
checks, and in favor Of Il. national
federation of retail dealers.

THE COAL INDUSTRY.

The coal of North Dakota is of
inestimable value to the people of
this state. The worth of Ignite
as fuel is just beginning to be
realized by many, aud from this
time the development of the in
dustry will doubtless be very
marked. By reference to the
report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor for the year
ending 1890, it will be seen that
the consumption of the Ignite coal
of this state has increased enol.
mously during the last ten years
At that time the statistical report
showed capital invested amounting
to $64,600 and total annual pro-
duct of $500 tons. At the present
time there ia from Sl5O,0OO to
100000 capital invested in con-
nection with the coal industry of
this state. The annual production
is about 100000 to 125,000 tons.
The average annual value of this
product is from $l75,0O0 to $685.
600. This is a very remarkable
development, especially when we
consider that a large proportion of
the increase has occurred within
the last three years. Evidently
we are just entering a period which
will doubtless show far mole
wonderful development of this
resource than there has been dur,
ing the last ten years. Any aid
which can be given to this industry
will surely be amply rewarded in
its growth. With all increase in
population and better knowledge
of the proper methods Of use and
the value of Ignite coal, this alb
dundant and cheap supply of fuel
will aid in bringing in new indus
tries and will furnish supplies of
great value to other regions other.

THERE is something of a tenden-
~, ~ ~,,, IA oop;%,l ~ ovor1ook

THERE is something of a tenden-
cy at our state capitol to overlook
the agricultural interests. Every
measure looking to relief of the
farmer is either scanned very
closely or is rejected altogether.
Even the very tritling amount
asked for the purpose of holding
farmers institutes is liable to be
refused or made SO trifling as to
prevent any great amount of work
from being undertaken in that
line. While the majority of the
Legislators are interested in farm
ing, the agricultural spirit is not
strong, and direction is given by
the lawyers, bankers and profess
fessional politicians, 1t seems
strange that in q state like ours
where agriculture is supreme, no
other material resource at present,
that the nose of the politician
should be turned in air when needs
of the farm srs are mentioned. 1t
is astonishing with what scornful
Indifference the farmer is treated,
but still more astonishing how
we'll the farmers like such treat
ment and stands for it. This is
only passing condition. A few
years ago things were run to the
other extreme until the farmers
side was overworked as to prepar
the way for reaction, but it did
not deem that the reaction would
carry so far as to cause the farmer
to point the finger of sc Urn at him.
s-lfas would seem to be the case to
al extent at least at the present
time.-Bathgate Pink Paper

TWO DISTRICTS.
Eighteenth and Fortieth Legislative Dis
tricts of Cavalier County.

Last Thursday Gov. White affixed his
signature to Senate Bill. No. 60 which
provides for the re-appointment OF legis-
lative districts. and among other changes
doubles Cavalier county's legislative re-
presentation and divides it into two
districts, viz; The Eighteenth and
Fortieth Districts. The new law divides
Cavalier county from the northern
boundary line between Mt. Carmel and
Dresden south to the line dividing Osna
brock and Billings into Gust and west
districts, the former containing seventeen
congressional townships and the latter
twenty five townships, their population
according to thelate census returns being
$3.50 and 6,051, the western district max
mig up in area what it may happen to lack
at the present time in population, In
the election OF last fall, however, the
western district cast 1871 votes to 1903 in
the eastern half, showing that the
constituencies are nearer equal in size
than the figures for population show on
their face. The townships comprising
the two districts are as below:
EAST DISTRICT
Alma, East Alma. Easily. Fremont,
Harvey, Hope. Loan, Milton, Montrose,
Mt. Carmel, Olga, Osnabrock.
WEST DISTRICT.
Berlin. Billings, Cypress Dresden,
Glenila, Gordon, Grey, Henderson, HUI
ron, jackson, Langden, Langdon City.
Moscow, Perry, South Dresden, Trier
Weber and Unorganized Townships 1871
81, 1892; 1864.
The new apportionment gives the state
as whole legislative body Of 40 MEM
bers against SO attending the present
assembly. Only about four new districts
have been created. those being in Ba mes.
Cavalier, Rlchland and Trail, out the
new basis of representation also increases
The membership of many western and
central districts, according to the show
ing made at the last census. In the
future Cavalier will send senator and
two members of the house from each dis
trict to legislate for the county. 1t is the
honest opinion of many that the increase
was not badly needed and as the expense
put upon the State by the adding of AZ
new members to the state Legislative
assembly will require an extra outlay of
s2o, 900 each session, there are good
grounds for an objection.

SCHOOL LEGISLATION.

Some recent educational bills
pending in the state Legislature are
unusually interesting in view of
the fact that should their enact
ment follow radical changes in our
educational laws will follow. At
the beginning of the session Sena-
tor Wolbert presented three bills,
two for the elimination of the pre-
paratory work in the state univer-
sity aud state normal schools, and
third, the high school bill. " Itch
is an attempt to bring up the grade
work of high school Institutions
to par with that of neighboring
states, especially of Minnesota. As
yet North Dakota has no school
inspectorsh!p. Its system of
secondary schools is good, but the
high schools have suffered from a
lack of unity in methods and no
great attention to such methods as
existed The need Of I'D inspec-
torship of schools has been re-
cognlzed want in such quarters as
keep pace with the educational
trend Of the times. The aim OF
the third bill Of the trio, in ap-
pointing one inspector at present
with future possibi!i les AS The
high schools increase in number,
is therefore generally approved,
and it is felt that thu bill should
pass. The bills for the elimination
of preparatory work in the State
University and Normal Schools
are meeting with considerable OPP
position. The opposition to the
University bill seems to come
chiefly from jealously Of the work
done by the Agricultural College
at Fargo. By constitutional pro-
vision the Fargo college IS not
connected with the University, a
fact which eompels the Agricul
tural College at present to do high
school work. If high school work
is thrown out of the University
the natural tendency will be- to
send more pupils to the local high
schools, which is the intent of the
bill. The Normal School bill ap
pears to be AN ill-advised one.
The schools are located at Mayville
and Valley City: and are the nur-
sery of students who go out into
the sparsely settled country dis
tricts. The seed must fit the soil,
and the preparatory features of the
Normal Schools in this state give
just the training needed. 10 take
away the preparatory departments
from the Normal Schools, there
fore, is suggestion which ought
not to meet with favor, as
measure in line with the practical
needs of education.
