pound OF which sorghum was an ele-
ment and bound into briquettes, OF
about the size of anthracite Goals, be-
ing composed of nearly pure carbon,
and burning with a fierce heat. The
cost of the process was. slight and the
results, when tested, satisfactory.
"The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany some time ago made some tests
of the new briquettes as steam-produc-
ing fuel. The tests were pronounced
successful and 1t was stated that IL the
owners of the process would deliver the
product they had devised in quantity
the road would contract for 100000
tons, for use on the locomotives. The
Northern Pacific Is one OF the heaviest
railroad consumers of coal In the coun-
try.
THE western part OF the state of
North Dakota Is underlain by q vein
of Ignite, varying from six to fifteen
feet In width. 1t crops out in thou
sands of places, through the soil.
Along the Missouri river there are
hundreds of outcroppings through the
clay banks. South Dakota has long
cried out for North Dakota Ignite, but
the difficulties of transportation were
too great to be overcome until the
building of Washburn's road into the
coal fields.
Now, as soon as joint traffic agree
ments with other roads can be perfect
ell, the coal will be shipped into South
Dakota, and possibly into Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota. Carloads have
been sent as far east as Chicago. for
testing purposes, and to Grand Rapids.
Mich, by capitalists from there who
believe it can be adapted to manufac-
turing.
AT the present time Washburn's
mines are working to their full capac-
ity and cannot supply all the demand.
New and better machinery is being in
stalled in the mines, where the coal Is
taken out by improved processes. The
mines are lighted with electricity
throughout, and all OF the machinery
is electric"

a dispatch from Bismarck, n. D., to
the Chicago Record says:
"Lignite coal. chemically treated and
compressed into condensed fuel, prom
ises to be one of the substantial pro-
ducts of North Dakota, and at least
locally mayrevolutionize the fuel prob
lem.
'Briquettes' manufactured from coal
at Wilton have been esstcd by the
Northern Pacific railway, and the pro-
duct has been shipped to many eastern
manufacturing centers to be tested.
Former Senator w. u. Washburn OF
Minnesota, Is at the head of the enter
prise and the company mines are rum
ming at full capacity. with all of the
modern mining machinery and appli-
nnces.
General Washburn built a town at
Wilton, the terminal OF a railroad he
projected. and bought two sections of
land at a small value per acre. Land
in the vicinity was in many cases hard
ly deemed worth paying taxes on.
Thousands upon thousands of acres of
land were TO be had for 81 an acre and
slightly higher. Hardly had the town
established by Washburn begun to
grow when Ignite coal was discovered.
Underlying the land We're millions of
tons OF the best Ignite coal in the
west. 1t approached bituminous in
hardness and percentage OF carbon and
General Washburn set about immedi-
ately toward the development of this
important discovery.
Eastern capitalists and coal experts
were interested. r. w. Hazleton, who
had for many years been coal expert In
Ohio, came out and looked over the
mine. He pronounced the coal good
and the discovery promising. The mines
we're opened with shaft and electrical
machinery ordered. Orders began to
pour In for thousands of tons of the
fuel for local consumption before il
was possible to supply a fraction OF
the demand.
The capacity Of the machinery was
increased until an output of several
hundred tons n day was possible. and
profitable freight traffic was created
for the new road. With the interest OF
eastern capitalists came another inter-
esting discovery. This was that pro-
cess was possible whereby the Ignite
coal could be treated with heat, the

fortune and founding a fortune. Few
men chance upon fortunes. The fort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
The nature of that basis OF fortune is
we'll set forth In the advice given by
successful merchant to young man
who asked, ~What is the first requisite
to making a fortunel" "The first re-
Quisite to making a fortuue" said the
rich man, vis health" "The idea that
fortunes are made suggests toll and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But weak man cannot
toll, and industry is incompatible with
ill-health. II You want TO be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount Of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to di-
gest food and assimilate its nutrition.
The man who takes care OF his digestion
is, in general, taking care of every other
organ Of his body"
SUCCESS AND TIE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much OF a
physician but he was a good deal of a
philosopher. He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of "stomach trouble"
He had theorized the saying that the
rwealsest must go to the wal" into the
saving that othe man with the weakest
stomach must 60 to the WALL" because
10 man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken a great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite Of
success and health in general means a
sound stomach and a good digestion.
Look at the logic Of the matter. Food
Is a mans life. his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that a thing can be eaten doesn't make
1t food. Many physician practising in
the tenements Of city says of failing
men or women, "What they need q
noH,ishiag food.' Shipwreeked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark Of trees.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

The schools here opened little over a
week ago. and there have been just seven
days OF school when holiday inter-
venes. One holiday in seven is fast be-
coming the regime OF the average school
year There are by far too many holt
days for the good Of the children or the
advancement Of education. Something
must be done 70 avoid these repeated in
terruptious in school life. A holiday one
day means little, II any work the next,
especially II IL occurs the last of the week.
OF course itgives the children and the
teachers a rest. but they have long rest
from May until September. and really
do not get into harness until October.
There are now two legal holidays in
September Labor Day and Defenders
Day. Then there is a week OF Teach
ers Institute days, during which there is
no school tor the children. but it is to be
hoped it is a profitable school for the
teachers. Perhaps there are no holidays
in October, unless it be the first week,
(which occurs this year, in which the
county teachers hold their annual ses-
sions of the Teachers Institute.
Then comes November with the
Thanksgiving holidays. and December
with the week OF Christmas holidays rum
ing into the frs, few days OF the New
Year. After that the twenty of
February and so one adtgJfHif41 through
the year with lis Easter holidays. Ar
Dor Day, Decoration Day, Whi,suntide
and others too numerous to mention, not
TO speak Of the days school is closed for
measles or scarlet fever or any epidemic
which may break out in the communi-
ty. With so many holidays. and so few
school days, the teachers and scholars
should 'get down TO real hard, earnest
work as soon as school opens, and work
with will to make up for lost time, if
not 10 advance themselves along educa-
tional lines.
School life is important to the young,
and each year brings with it additional
obligations. and more advantages. but
strange to say some of the students fail
to appreciate this, and with each year
the number in the higher grades becomes
less, the pupils dropping out to enter
upon their life work before completing
their education. For this and other rea-
sons let those at school make the most
of their time-the time sandwiched with
holidays.
