VALUABLE STATE REPORT.

The report of the State Geological
Survey will soon be ready for distrib-
ution. 1t consists of two hundred and
fifty pages. devoted principally to a
consideration of practical and theo-
retical questions in regard to the lig-
mite of North Dakota. The vast ex-
tent of the coal deposits is demons
trated and an abundance of data given
to show their significance to the state.
Mines within the state which have
q total output valued at $500, 100000
annually are 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 slight
ly inferior, ton for ton, to the Illinois
and Iowa Goals for steam purposes.
Mining conditions are described with
care so that capital seeking invest
mentns may understand that no I'M
usual difficulties are to be anticipated
in developing the Ignite field. Two
chapters are devoted to a study Of
irrigation, and to the water resources
Of the western part of the state. The
work outlined for next year includes
a more thorough study of the nu-
mite; a preliminary study of the nu-
merous and valuable clay deposits of
the state; and. in cooperation with
the United Sttaes Geological Survey,
an examination of conditions in the
western part of the state with refer
ence to irrigation, especially noting
the possibilities of lifting water from
streams by pumping, using the lig-
mite. everywhere present. as fuel. The
volume is illustrated by forty full
page half tones. The report will be
used to furnish information to the
constantly increasing number of in
quiries in regard to North Dakota's
coal and mineral deposits, throughout
h country. The high schools and
higher educational institutions of the
state will be furnished with copies,
and as long as the supply lasts they
will be sent on request to persons in
the state who secure an endorsement
to their request by a state senator or
representative from their district. 1t
is believed that in this way the report
will be distributed without waste.
Letters with reference to the report
should be addressed to the State Geo
logist. DR.. Frank A. Wilder, State Uni
~versity, Grand Forks.

The meeting of the legislature, the
organization of the two houses and
determination OF the senatorial contest
are events fraught with so much har-
mony the spell has completely envel-
oped the capital city and Burieigh
county. The political war in which
Bismarck has been the storm center
for some time is at and end. Hence
icrth we are to live III the future and
not in the past. The grievances Of
the republican warriors, fancied and
real, are to be buried. Personalities
and roasting and treachery and dis
loyalty are henceforth to be discount
enanced and hereafter action, after
full and fair counsel. shall be binding
and sacred. 1t has been decided at 4
conference of the warning faction that
the smoking Of the pipe Of peace is
for the best interests of Bismarck.
The records and character of the pub
fishers OF the newspapers in Bismarck
have been exploited sufficiently to
demonstrate that the toughness of the
hides OF the publishers is only equaled
by that tired feeling that has come
over the readers of the capital city
press. The prince of thermometers has
commanded peace and-there is peace.
Fa'rness, frankness, forbearance.
broader lines, u~nselfishness. honesty
and loyalty are TO constitute the new
code OF republican ethics in gurleigh
county.
