The jamestown Capital calls atten-
ton to the fact that 5000 acres was
planted to corn in that county last
season. This is a large increase over
previous acreage of this valuable pro-
duct, and proves that North Dakota is
becoming a corn raising state. With
its increase in stock, it becomes neces-
sary to add to the acreage of stock
foods. and corn is a staple of value in
all agricultural states. The increase
of corn acreage in Stutsman county is
duplicated in many other counties, to
the great advantage of the agricultural
element of the states population.

+ President Hill of the Great Northern
addresses the meeting of grain growers
at Fargo today. It is expected that
Mr.. Hill will have something to say
regarding the Northern Securities COM
pany and for that reason there will be
a large attendance from the northwest
to hear his address. The meeting Of
grain growers appears from this dis
lance to be a successful one, and many
valuable papers have been presented
for the consideration of those in at
tendance.

within a short time a locomotive espe-
cially designed for burning Ignite. 1t
has been constructed in Philadelphia,
and it is thought that all difficulties
have been overcome. With the ordin-
airy locomotive Ignite produces too
many sparks. The alterations intro
duced into the new Washburn locomo-
tives are confidently expected to do
away with this objection. If the new
locomotive works successfully, rail-
way managers say that Ignite will
probably be used by the roads running
through and near the Ignite region.
Experiments in ~bricquetting Ignite
coal are approaching a satisfactory is
sue. The announcement by Lucius
Storrs, the geologist of the Northern
Pacific, that the German process Of
bricquetting coal can be successfully
applied to northwestern Ignite is being
discussed by railway men. If his
statement be true, the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific will ultimately
open up for their own use the vast beds
OF Ignite in their territory.
Pittsburg parties have announced to
northwestern railroad men that they
are now confident Of success in brio
quoting Ignite. They fully expect to
evolve a process in which it will not
be necessary to introduce an outside
substance as a .binder."

BIG INCREASE IN EARNINGS.

st. Paul Dispatch: About three
months ago the prediction was made
that the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific would earn between
them ten millions more this year than
in any previous year of their history.
This prediction did not tell half of
what is actually occurring.
According to figures secured today,
1t is shown that the Northern Pacific
alone, in six months, has increased it's
earnings nearly half that sum, and
the combined increases of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern reach near
ly eight millions. With six months
still to hear from, inanciers do not like
to make guesses for fear people will
look upon them as extravagant- It
would surprise no one, however, if the
increases Of the two roads reached
$14,OOO,OOO.
For the first six months the total
gross earnings OF. the Northern Pacific
have been $50, SS6, 1921, an increase Of
$~4,173,463. The estimated earnings
for December are 3 3S45 8 an in
crease of $685. 6O. The fourth weeks
gross earnings were $952,3O5, an in.
crease of $210,414. When the COM
pleted figures for December are COM
piled it will probably swell the increase
for six months to five millions.

ROBINSON APPOINTED
PRESIDENT APPOINTS GEORGE L.
ROBINSON TO BE INDIAN AGENT
AT FORT BERTHOLD, NORTH
DAKOTA.

AT FORT BERTHOLD, NORTH
DAKOTA.
George L.. Robinson, the pioneer
merchant at Coal Harbor, has been .ap-
pointed by the president to be Indian
agent at Fort Berthold, and the ap-
pointment was sent to the senate yes
terday. Since the department de-
cided to make a change at Fort Ber-
thold it has been reported that Mr..
Robinson was being favorably consid-
erred for the place. He had the active
support of Hon. John %Satterlund and
others of the Missouri slope political
leaders, and Mr.. Satter1und is naturally
pleased that his appointment has been
announced. He says Mr.. Robinson
has the support of the Indians, is a
capable and good a for the place,
and deserves the appointment. No
move was made for the appointment
of Mr.. Robinson to this place until the
department decided TO make a change
in the agency, and then Mr.. Robinson's
claims were urged before the depart
ment. Charges were at one time filed
against Mr.. Robinson but these were
proven unfounded.

VIEWED AT THE HEAD OF
THE LAKES.

The Superior Leader has the follow
ing regarding the Northern Securities
Company:
"a subject OF vital concern to the
head of the lakes and, indeed, to the
entire country from Superior to the
Pacific coast, is that growing out of the
organization of the Northern Securi-
ties company and the action of the
governor of Minnesota and other
Northwestern states who are opposing
the ~so-called merger. The Leader has
given in its Geographic columns. full
reports of the organization of the
Northern Securities company and the
action taken by the governors and the
letter published by Mr.. ]. J. Hill on
December %, and has e~ndeayored to
investigate Is far as possible, all of
the facts connected with the subject.
At first glance it appeared to the peo-
pie of the Northwest that the organiza-
ton of the securities company meant
the consolidation of the two great rail-
way companies that extend from SUI
perior to the western coast. It was
well known that these great lines, the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern, We're controlled by Mr.. Hill and
his friends and it was feared that if
these roads were brought under the
ownership of the new corporation, with
its millions of capital, that the people
living in the territory through which
the two Northern roads run would be
subjected to exorbitant rates and
would be cut off from competition.
President Hill, in his letter, gave the
people an entirely new version of what
would be the result of the organiza-
ton OF the securities company and laid
bare much information of the liveliest
value to the people interested. He
showed that the best interests of the
northwest made it imperative that the
control of the two Northern railroads,
as well as the Burlington system,
should be in friendly hands and that
he and his friends had succeeded in
keeping the control of these properties
out of the hands of the interests that
sought the welfare of the %transcontin-
enta lines south of us.
in other words, had the Union Pa
cific succeeded in obtaining control OF
the Northern Pacific, it would have di-
verified the Oriental and other western
traffic from the northern routes that
terminate at the head OF the lakes and
thrown the business to lines south od
us.
Mt. Hill, in explaining the object OF
the Northern Securities company, says
that the idea OF such a company is ia
secure permanent protection for the in.
terests of the people who have theil
money in the two Northern companies
and in the Burlington and to insure
the continuation Of the policy and
management which has done so much
for the improvement OF the Northwest
Nh. Hill gives other excellent reasons
