Over $4,000 Subscribed.

The subscriptions for the Dickinson
Commercial Club & Library association
are coming along in splendid shape, owe
$4,000 having already been pledged. 1t
is a gratifying feature to note that the
business men and professional men
Of the city are taking an active
interest in the matter and making liberal
subscriptions. On the list are two men
for $500 each, n for 5000, three for $3.50,
three for 5000, two for $3.50, fifteen for
500, t%wenty.one for $50, and a large
number for $40 and $50 each. There are
still a number to see who will give a
liberal amount, and everybody, whether
living in Dickinson or not, is invited to
subscribe for this most commendable
undertaking.
Within a short time the Dickinson
Commercial Club 4 Library association
organization will be perfected, a site
selected and all preparations made for
erection of the new building as early as
possible in the spring. 1t is expected
that $4,000 will be necessary to erect
and equip the building.
A club and library building, such az
the committee propose to give Dickin-
son, will not only furnish a suitable place
for the young men and those who are NOT
SO young, to spend their leisure hours,
but it will add materially to the value OF
property in the city.

not preferable to the elective system.
The activity of the judiciary in politics,
under u present system, can hardly
be avoided, much as it is to be deprecat-
ed. The activity of the district and SUI

igants want justice and reliable attorneys

honest rulings. They cannot rely on
absolute fairness from political judges.
In the various parts of the state we have
seen some of the results of political
courts. We have seen political parties
disrupted and good men go down to de-
feat simply because of the unwarranted
power exercised by the court. 1t will be
we'll to pay all judges good salaries and
then demand that they do not misuse

account if he did not. But he should not
descend to the level of the ward-heeler
and make him his confdant and advi.
sor neither should he go about his dis
trict and use his official power and pres

need not keep entirely out Of politics,

Ignite Coal Deposits.
The State Geological Survey by Prot.
frank Wilder Gives Valuable

The report Of the geological survey is
ready for distribution. 1t consists of two
hundred and fifty pages devoted princi-
pally to a consideration of practical and
questions in regard to the lig-
mite of North Dakota. The vast extent
of the coal deposits is demonstrated and
an abundance of data given to show
their significance to the state. Mines
within the state which have a total out
put valued at s5oo.ooo.oo annually arc
fully described. From the facts set forth
in this report it seems probable that the
coal output of North Dakota will reach
a million dollars next year. The fuel
value of the Ignite is considered at
great length and careful boiler tests are
cited which show that it is but slightly
inferior, ton for ton, to the Illinois and
Iowa Goals for steam purposes. Mining
conditions are described with care so
that the capital seeking investment may
understand that no unusual difficulties
are to be anticipated in developing the
Ignite field. Two chapters are devoted
to a study of irrigation problems and to
the water resources of the western part
OF the state. The work outlined for next
year includes a more thorough study of
Ignite; a preliminary study Of the nu-
merous and valuable clay deposits of the
state; and in cooperation with the Unit
ed States geological survey an examina.

inquirers in regard to North Dakota

THERE is no legislation of more
importance to the western half
of the state than the re-enactment
of the wolf bourty law. The
wolves are killing thousands upon
thousands of dollars worth of cat
tie, sheep and horses every month
and the owners of stock are GER
tainly entitled to some protection
from the ravages of these rapidly
increasing pests. The stock in
dustry, in the hands of small own
ers as compared with a few years
ago, has grown to a business of
millions of dollars annually and
demands some reasonable consid-
Grafton. Our senator and repre-
senatives are united and will make
a strong effort to get a wolf boun-
ty law enacted, and every person
living in the western part of the
state should interest himself in
the matter. Write at once and
tell your representatives the exact
condition of affairs as regards the
loss of stock by wolves on your
range, and if you have friends in
the Legislature from other parts
of the state post them as to the
condition. The stockmen should
hold meetings and appoint a COM
mittee to go to Bismarck and
help in this matter. Let the coun-
try tributary to Dickinson, Man
dan, Williston, Minot and other
points organize and send strong
delegations to the capitol to as
sist their representatives in secur-
ing the enactment of a law that
has merit.

The Mercantile Mutual Insur-

THE Mercantile Mutual Insur-
ance Co. of this city has closed
its books, cancelled all policies
and returned the unearned premi-
ums. The company was organ
lied soon after election last fall,
the field work having been done
by c. F. Merry, but his name did
not appear as an incorporation or
as an officer. The board of di.
rectors had employed Merry as a
special agent, at a stipulated sal
airy and a certain commission on
all premiums of the first months
business. When the directors
and officers of the company got
together last week they found
that they had but two risks in the
city on their books and that their
business consisted of farm and
ranch risks and that the premi-
ums had been used up and that
there was no reserve with which
to pay any losses that were liable
to occur at any time, and it was
considered best to wind the affairs
OF the company up and relieve
themselves of further reliability.
In other words. these men COM
menced to realize that they could
not, with safety to themselves and
those taking insurance, run the
company with c. F. Merry as So
licitor and special agent, and as
honorable men they paid all in
Cured expenses and stopped the
mill. The PRESS did not think
that the Mercantile Mutual would
be anything but a dismal disap-
pointment with c. F. Merry as
special agent" but we had re-
Trained from saying so before,
knowing that if we did some one
would think that we were preiu-
diced and trying to tear down a

Coal Briuuettos,

Mandan Pioneer: In the Office Of
the receiver Of the U. S. land office at
Bismarck is 4 sample of briquette such
as Mr.. John Satterlund states the entire
coal consuming public of the northwest
will be using in a year or two. This
briquette is black and hard; about four
inches long. two and a half inches wide,
and An inch and a half thick. 1t is con-
siderably smaller In size than the bril-
quettes that seem to be used almost ex-
clusively in Germany, both by house.
holders and by the railroad companies,
The German briquettes have for their
constituent brown coal possessing many
of the qualities of Ignite, and they are
much better for heating purposes than
the loose coal of a quality superior to the
Ignite. The fact that the Ignite has
been ground into powder, mixed with a
"binder," and pressed into brick shape,
seems to have a good effect upon it, and
to work exceedingly we'll in Germany,
and other countries on the European
continent.
The Pioneer is informed that the total
cost per ton Of the labor, and the ma
terial needed to mix with the Ignite to
make these briquettes, is a dollar and a
quarter a ton. The cost of the Ignite
itself must be added to this. So in other
words a ton Of the briquettes will cost a
dollar and a quarter, plus the cost of the
Ignite contained therein. General
Washburn is working on the briquette
making proposition, and If he is able to
realize his dream, and send forth for
three or four dollars a ton at the mine
these b%riquettes. which will be the equal
of anthracite coal in every particular.
both with respect to bulk and heating
qualities, he will indeed be a greater
benefactor than he is now. We are all
looking forward to his complete success.
