n FUEL PROBLEM.

The high price Of fuel has long
been one Of the drawbacks to live
in North Dakota. Freight rates
and middlemen's profits, when
added to the cost of eastern coal
at the mines, makes that article an
expensive luxuary for the people
of the Northwest. We speak of it
as a luxury because it is no longer
a necessity in this part OF the
country.
It has been demonstrated that
the state Of North Dakota contains
vast deposits Of coal, much of it Of
an excellent quality and it is this
fact that presents a solution of the
fuel problem. We must use the

Countless millions Of worms
that devour weeds have appeared
in Bottineau county. The News
of that city says: "a stranger
coming in from Scotia Monday
found the road about 8 miles west
of here lined for nearly a mile with
countless millions of small hairy
worm all travelling. He brought a
few Of them along and sent them
to- the Agricultural College at
Fargo. Steve Westacott reports
the same worm in equally large
numbers on Dan McArthur's farm
below town. And they are said to
be seen in the mountains as plenti-
full. They are apparently some
thing new here. They r said to
attack the weeds, spinning a web
over them and literally devouring
them, while the grain along side,
is untouched"

North Dakota's Poet.Laureate.

Neche Chro1otype.
The "long-felt want" Of a sweet
singer for the Flickertail common
wealth has at last been most &C.
ceptably filled in the person Of Mr..
Dan E. Richter. one of the able
editors of the Larimore Pioneer,
who has recently issued a charm
ing little brochure containing an
even two dozen children of his
muse. The title of the work
idle Moments''-was a most
happy, thought, being, the very
quintessence of appropriateness.
Mr.. Richter boldly mounts his
Pegasus and scars in the realm Of
song in a style that is seldom
equalled for freshness and with an
originality not to be questioned.
He uses poetic license with an
abandon that is delightfully."- reck-
less, as, for example, in his CATER
Vacation Reveries'' he docs not
hesitate to refer to- himself as ga
consummate jackass" in order to
secure a suitable rhyme for "black
bass" His soulfully, touching
reference to "a Shypoke," in the
poem entitled "a Lake." wildly
recalls to mind our own familiarity
in our boyhood days with the i'm
posing Botaurus lentiginosus, who
was wont to make his home among
the reedy fens of Northern Wis
consin in the happy long ago. In
fact the entire work is replete
with sparkling gems of sublime
thought and rare diction, to such
an extent that one may feel but
cannot do adequate justice to these
unparalleled poetic productions.
With a frankness that is as charm
ing as it is rare the author pleads
in extenuation Of his having en-
riched the world of literature with
the airy creations Of his intellect
that.

The people Of Fargo do not
seem to appreciate Andrew Carne-
.gie's contribution of $4,000 for
the establishing of a public library
in their city. At least we infer as
much from the announcement
made by the Forum that "the
interest manifested by the, people
does not seem hardly commensu-
rate with the OCCASION" The
Forum accredits Mayor johnson
with having done his part, how
ever, SO that no blame can attach
to his honor. The lack Of popular
interest in the donation is probably
due to the conditions which &C
company it. The city must fur
nish site and contribute annually
to the running expenses, some
thing Of an item, you know.

product of our own state rather
than that Of Ohio, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania.
Coal mines are now being some
what extensively developed in sew
eral sections Of the state and the
supply will soon be equal to the
demand, no matter how extensive
proportions the latter may assume,
so that the necessity for using the
exported article which costs SO
much will sobn cease to exist.
This being the case the time has
come when we should use the ma
tive coal in preference to all other
for various reasons. 1t is much
cheaper and is just as good for
ordinary purposes. Furthermore
the more extensively our own
mines are worked to supply the
demand the greater number Of
miners it will be necessary to en-
ploy, thus adding to the population
of the state and increasing the
markets for the products Of our
farms.
In view of these facts it would
seem that the fuel problem has
lost its serious aspects for North
Dakotans: who, until recently,
have been at the mercy Of the coal
barons Of the east. being compelled
to. pay whatever price the latter
saw fit to exact. Happily that
condition cannot be enforced much
longer, especially if we accustom
ourselves to the use of North Da-
kota coal as we now have the op-
%portunity of. doing.

The Episcopal council of Mime
sofa doubtless did a good thing
when it elected Ri. Rev. Samuel
Edsall c%oadjutor bishop Of that
state. That is it did a good thing
for the Episcopal church Of
Minnesota, but it didn't help the
cause any in North Dakota by
taking away our missionary bishop.
Still, many of our people rejoice
at the bishops promotion, not
withstanding they will miss him
when he is gone from the state.
Bishop Edsall is a strong man and
the Minnesota people could not
have made a better selection.

his idea Of what constitutes a good
minister Of the gospel as follows:
"We will advise him to first dis

of-the-world organization, then
study carefully the life and pre-
cepts Of the man called Christ, and
the principles Of living on earth
