OF capital to develop a coal mine so

The crystallation of sentiment in the
northern part of the state, especially
in the Seventh and Fourth judicial dis
tricts, in favor of continuing Hon. H.
C. Hansbrough in the United States
senate, gives the. senior senator quite
an advantage over other aspirants.
His managers believe HE will be able
to control the republican caucus and be
named on the first formal ballot. The
opposition to Senator Hansbrough in
this state comes NOT from any general
complaint Of disloyalty, or lack of abil-
ity but from individuals imbued with
a laudable desire to occupy the high
position and from communities not
especially hostile to Hansbrorgh but
welded o particularly to local can
didates with whom they are in close
touch. The long service, experience
and standing of MI. Hansbrough in
Washington are of great value to the
state at large but in the whirlpool of
local strffe-in some instances aug
mented by party perfidy and treachery
On the part of federal oficdals-these
important and oyeEshadowing qualifi-
cations are lost sight of. However,
with the possible exception of Hon. NJ.
n. Johnson, the candidates are all per-
sonal friends and the action Of the re-
publican caucus wild undoubtedly be
fraught with harmony and the result
accepted as party wisdom and for the
states honor.

The Grand Forks Herald is inclined
tc believe that the experimental period
in the use OF lignite coal has passed in
North Dakota and that it now takes
its place as a commodity and a neces-
sity and therefore should be treated ag
such; that special legislation requir-
ing its use in state institutions lis no
longer necessary and possibly not de-
sirable. II is trrIe that the people OF
the state have learned how to use The

the stlignite coal trust" Mr.. Peake
claims that there is no trust. and that
with the exception of the two mines
controlled by his company, no other
company OF corporation in the state
controls more than one mine. Mr.
Peake points out also, that it is difficult
to build up mining communities in this
state, for the reason that the demand
is irregular, and, while extremely
heavy at this season, drops off in the
spring midsummer to practically moth
ing. Then again, it is difficult to OBJ

not an apologist for any coal trust, but
it is apparent that, in the building up
of mining operations, with the irregI-
lar demand, and difficulty of getting
miners and cars, the coal mine opera
tors have been working under a SER
ious disadvantage. Just criticisms
for deliberate failure to supply certain
communities with coal, If there are any
such cases, lis proper and right. 1t is
probable, however, that many of the
criticisms are hasty and not based
upon a careful Investigation. The av-
erage citizen wants coal in winter, and
if he does not get it he complains, long
and loudly. That is human nature,
but it does not prove That the short
age is the deliberate fault OF the coal
companies.

The Northwest Magazine has the fol-
lowing regarding Col. Pond, who has
supervised the construction of For
Lincoln: 1t is reported unofhclally
that Col. George E. Pond, chief quar-
termaster of the department of Dakota,
has been selected by Brig. Gen. Mar
shall 1. Ludington, quartermaster gen
eral, to succeed Lieut.. Col. Daniel D.
Wheeler as chief quartermaster of the
department of California, with head
quarters at San Francisco. 1t is also
reported that William G. Weatherby,
chief clerk in the quartermaster's office.
is to go with Col. Pond to San Fran
cisco. This news, which apparently
comes from a reliable source, is a sur
prise to local army circles. Col. Pond
has now been stationed here four years,
having been assigned to the depart
ment of Dakota in March, 1899, and he
has a host of friends in the city and in
the entire department who will be sorry
to have him leave. He has, during
his term of service in this department,
supervised many Improvements to the
military posts. and his economical and
capable management has been of great
benefit to the war department. He
has just finished a large amount Of
work involved in the letting of con-
tracts for the Improvements of the
Improvement of the buildings at Fort
Smelling and the erection of new struc-
lures there and at various other posts
throughout the department. It is the
belief of local army men that Col. Pond
will regret to go as much as they are
to lose him. It has not yet been ascer.
tanned who will succeed Col. Pond As
chief quartermaster of the department
OF Dakota. Col. Daniel D. Wheeler
whom Col. Pond will succeed. was sta.
toned here a year ago, when he was
sent to San Francisco. Col. POND
came here at the close OF the Spanish
American war, having served in Cuba
during that conflict. Previous to the
outbreak of that war he was in The
regular army since 1872, when he grad.
uated from the military academy anl
was commissioned second lieutenant II

Burlington and Moffat Lines.

road Monday. Mr.. Francis spent
the day calling on Denver business
friends. II do not profess to know
any more about combinations which
the Burlington or Moffat people are
forming than any other man who is
interested in the railroad business
but to man in that position the
chances appear in favor of very close
business relations between the Bur-
lington and Mr.. Moffat. 1t would
certainly be good stroke of business
for both"
Mr.. Francis thus makes the. first
authorative statement concerning
the probabilities in connection with
the, new road to the Pacific. Mr..
Moffat says his road will be friendly
to all roads seeking a through CON
nection, and liberal policy in that
respect will be established from the
first.

while we have been having just mod

fierce blizzard has been raging on the
plains. Trains Were blockaded and
delayed on all the roads running into

who started out just prior to the
storm and have not been heard from
