Lignite Bricks as Fuell

DIR. Rudolf j. Schimper's br.qnettes
were tested yesterday as fuel for motive
power. The test was made on engine
No. 80 Of the 500 Line under the super
vision OF T. A. Foque, mechanical super
intendent Of the road. TIL. locomotive
was under 100 pounds Of steam drawing
eight loaded box cars. Tie test was
satisfactory.
The Briquettes, 2x4x6 inches. black
and as hard as anthracite, burned salts
factorily, did not give out much smoke,
did not black the hands Of the fireman,
did not clink, and gave satisfactory heat.
Fireman Hunter said he used about a
third as much fuel as would have been
required firing with the soft coal from
the tender. The locomotive WAS driven
about twenty miles with 1900 pounds Of
fuel. The coat Of mining the Ignite and
preparing the ~briqnette- is 81 25 \ ton.
DIR. Schimper said the success was u
great source Of qualification to him. He
added:
IL can't say how the fuel Is prepared.
/ will say however. do with my chem
ical process fer Ignite In a short time
what nature would do in $500 or 5000
years. 1 hasten the process of nature,
that's all. have been studying Ignite
for the last ten years. / nearly achieved
success hree years ago, but It Is only
recently that l have been frlly prepared
to make G public demo nstration ~ my
invention.
"A company, Of which ex-senator
Washburn IL at the head, will eifablisn
works at Bismark, N. ID. We will soon
be able to turn out any quantity OF the
briquettes ut the rate Of $1.25 y ton.
This IL much less than the ~cheapest soft
coal can be bought for, and the work OF
the briqusttes Il much more effective.
. For Instance, 1900 pounds Of soft
coal will carry the load we had today q
distance Of fifteen miles, We estimate
that 1000 pounds OF the briquettes will
carry the same load t~hirty-ive miles.
Then with the soft coal the fireman has
to be opening the furnace every ten
minutes and shoveling in the fuel. With
The briquettes, however, after the
DANES are we'll started 1t ls unnecessary
to touch the fre more than once In two
hours: Then, too, tae briquettes leaves
40 cllnkers and very few ashes. There
u hut little cleaning up to be done after
the are In an engine goes out"

Speaking Of needed legislation, one of
the first bills that should be introduced at
Pierre, and with an emergency clause,
too, 10 n fixing q higher standard for
illuminating oil, This Is the dumping
ground for oil SO poor That other states
will not nave 1t, and the only remedy is a
law which will condemn 1t. The oil in
spector is powerless unde the present
law, as he has no authority except to see
that the oil will stand a proper fire test.

Republican ECONOMY.

In Warden Swenson's report, he figures
that he has made a great saving to the tax
payers OF the state in the reduction of the
cost Of the prisoners at the p~enitentiary.
In the fourteen months covered by his
report. the saving effected to
$s,5S7.SO. The saving of such a sum will be
good news to the tax payers, and a large
credit to Warden Swenson.

The American Steel company (the steel
trust) has adopted a profit. sharing plan
whereby every employee may acquire
stock in the company at the rate of from
$50 to 5000 a year. If this scheme proves
to be popular with the men, and is car
ried out in good faith by the company, in
q few years the employees would own q
large share of the stock and the great
monopoly will become a cooperative in
dustry. This Is our kind of socialism

A Novel Scheme.

A buRgy with steel runners bolted to
the wheels attracted a great deal of
attention on the streets of Pierre recently.
The runners were attached by ropes, SO
that they could be detached and hung to
the rig when q piece of dry ground was
reached, and easily attached again when
there was snow to travel on.

TROOPS FOR PANAMA.
War Department Prepared to Enforce
Authority With Arms.

Despite repeated denials by officials of
the War Department it is again positively
asserted that complete arrangements have
been made for the dispatch of United States
troops 10 the Isthmus of Panama at the
first indication of hostile opposition in that
quarter To the execution of the administra
tion policy for the prompt construction of
the Panama canal
On this subject the Army and Navy Jour
nal of this morning says:
The general staff OF the army has map
ped out a comprehensive plan for the mill
tary defense of the Isthmus of Panama in
the event that the republic OF Colombia
should declare war against the United
States. 1t may be stated in passing that
such action on the part of Colombia is
hardly expected. but the members of the
general STAFF realize that one of their most
important functions is to make prepara-
tions for to meet any emergency The
plan for the defense Of tie isthmus against
Colombia has been handed TO the Secretary
OF War. and will. of course. be kept secret.
The general staff has selected the oh
and 10Th Regiments of Infantry and the
18th Battery of Field Artillery. now at Fort
LeaVenwUrth. TO go TO the Isthlus of Pan
anna In the event IL becomes necessary to
send troops there to maintain open traffic
across the isthmus. 1t is not actually be-
heved at the War Department that the oc-
casion will arise where it will be necessary
Tor United States troops to go TO the 18TH
mus. but every preparation is being made
by the general staff to meet a possible
emergency.
ITO fully understand the attitude taken
by the government in regard to the situa-
tion at Panama 1t is only necessary to
know that stores of all descriptions in
cludlng large quantities of coal are being
hurried to the isthmus from both sides OF
tue continent The naval collier Nero has
reported her arrival at Colon with a large
cargo OF coal, which will be at once dis
charged ashore for the use of the fleet at
that point From Vallejo navy yard large
quantities of general stores are being hur-
tieo 10 Panama without delay. and within
me next thirty days the vessels at both
ENDS or the canal will have at hand A sniff
clehcy or stores and coal for all possible
emergencies short of actual war Much OF
the coal will be taken to Porto Cabello
some distance down the coast from Colon
tor greater security in transferring the coal
70 the bunkers of the vessels recurring n
The harbor OF Colon is very poor. and The
hsaFy Atlantic swell makes anchorage any
