DETAILS OF FARGO FIRE.
Largest Fire in Many Years Edwards
Building Entirely Destroyed.

Z ~ + !. + ~ IS ~
Fargo, Jan. 10.-The losses in the
big fire here yesterday afternoon,
which destroyed the Edward block,
are now almost detailed to accuracy.
The total loss is from $175, 600 to 5000, J
600.
The FIRE started at 3:15 p. m. in
the basement Of the Golden Rule,
owned by Elsinger & Co., among a
lot of toys that had been stored away
after the holidays. From there it
gained headway into the rafters of the
floors and partitions making an ex-
ceedingly hard fire to fight.
The fire department responded at
once, and did excellent work with the
means at hand. The Moorhead de-
partment responded to a call, and
Casselton sent up an engine and fifty
men and both departments did excel
lent work for which the Fargo citizen
are duly thankful.
The building was erected at cost
of $64, 600 two years ago, and was
modern in every detail. It was
occupied by about 80 Office renters
and fifteen renters of apartments, and
these lost almost everything.
Arthur Bassett, formerly fire chief,
had bone in his ankle broken by q
falling stone, and Clark Haggart. 6
cigar man, injured his leg by slipping.

INDIAN LAND SALE.

We are informed that the plan
adopted by the U. s. government for
disposing of the lands belonging to
the heirs Of deceased Indians on the
reservation adjoining Obsron is in
substance as follows: Intending pur-
chasers must first deal with the
Indians for the land, then file sealed
bid accompanied by q certified check
for one fourth Of the amount bid, with
the agent F. O. Getchell at Fort
Tottsn, said bid to remain unopened
for ninety days. In the meantime
the land is to be appraised. When
the bids are opened the highest secures
the land at the appraised value upon
payment of the whole amount in cash.
Patent for same will then be issued by
the government. The purpose Of tho
government is to sell to actual settlers.
None others should apply. Oberon
Reporter.

DISAPPOINTED JURORS.

Cando Democrat: When Judge
Lauder adjourned district court before
the holidays, he did SO until January
5. Probably the esteemed judge was
aware Of the fact that Judge Cowan,
who was to finish up the term, which
had many times previously been ad-
jorrned 'sbecause of other business, =
could not very well be here owing to
the pending senatorial election at Bis
marck. Hence a disappointed and
not altogether well pleased lot Of
jurors and witnesses came to the city
Monday. morning from different parts
of the county, only to be informed by
the clerk of the court, that court had

FREE LECTURES.
Great Northern Has New Plan to Interest
Settlers.

Pioneer Press: The Great North
ern Railway company has adopted
novel idea in exploiting the advan-
tages of Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana and the Coast states.
George q. Crosse, former spe aker of
the North Dakota house of representa-
tivos, and q man perfectly familiar
with the states from Minnesota to the
Coast, has been employed as
lecturer. He will start next week
on tour through Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and West Virginia, stunning
most of the larger towns, which are
visited by travelling theatrical t,oupes.
but paving particular attention to the
towns of 500 to 1900 or 1,5OO inhabi-
tants. The lectures will be free.
Mr. Crosse will be provided with an
advance man who will bill the towns
a week in advance and engage halls.
Mr.. Crosse in his lectures will en-
phasize that the Great Northern owns
no land and has none to sell, that it
was built without government sub
sidy by men who put their money in
to it because they believed in the
future value of the vast territory be-
tween st. Paul an the Pacific coast.
The man with the stereoptican mean
while will be flashing views of st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, the big
wheat fields, stock farms, mountains,
fruit orchards and everything Of in
terest along the line of road, and Mr..
Crosse will tell of the country and the
hne prospects for acquiring cheap
homes. Besides the views, samples
of grain, fruit and vegetables will be
exhibited and copies Of the publica-
tions issued by the Great Northern.
Mr.. Crosse will cover as much
ground as possible before March i,
when most Of the farm leases begin
and end. The date when the one-way
colonists' rates will go into effect has
been fixed at February Is, two weeks
earlier than usual, to give the young
farmers of the eastern states an oppor-
tunity to look at the Northwest be-
foe leasing land for the year. Mr..
Crose's work will be continued, how
ever, until late in the spring.
The theory Of the Great Northern
is that many of the young farmers Of
the older states can be induced to go
west and buy cheap lands instead Of
renting land at home, and that the
farmers sons who are coming of age
and have no ground to till will be glad
of chance to investigate the country
Mr.. Crosse tells them about, and many
of them will buy land and become
permanent residents Of the country.

Cando Democrat: Since the sena-
torial contest is practically settled, the
time may have arrived when Judge
Cowan can devote more Of his time to
the affairs of this judicial district.
Between holding court and defeating
Senator Hansbrough for re- election,
the judge has been kept very busy

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
Pr actical Test of Ignite Briquettes is
Made.

Minneapolis Tribune: A practical
test of Ignite briquettes for heat pro-
ducing purposes was made yesterday
afternoon at the 500 shops at Shore
ham. The test was made on 17x24-
inch wheel engine under full tonnage,
on 66-foot grade, and was made for
the purpose of comparing the practica.
bility of this new fuel with that of
soft coal.
Through the cou1 tesy of 7. A.
Foque, the mechanical superintendent
of the shops, under whose direction
the tests were made, the representa-
tive of The Tribune was given seat
in the locomotive cab, and viewed the
experiment from beginning to end.
The Ignite briquettes are the dis
covery Of DR.. r. J. Schimper, a
graduate of Heidelberg university,
who has made this matter life long
study. He first experimental with
the use Of Ignite as a railroad fuel
when connected with the French rail
road at Constantinople, and at that
time became convinced that with the
proper chemical treatment Ignite
could be transformed into a very
valuable fuel.
Three years ago he visited the lig-
mite fields of North Dakota and from
experiments conducted with the pro-
duct of that region he completed his
formula for the manufacture of the
briquettes in their present form.
The manufacture of the briquettes
is very simple, the ignite being
ground up into dust and after being
submitted to a secret chemical pro-
cess the product is compressed into
bricks, that are as hard as anthracite
with specific gravity three points
greater. The process of mining the
Ignite and manufacturing the bri-
quettes costs $1.25 ton, and the pro-
duct is in every way the equal, if not
the superior, of anthracite.
From experiments made at the state
university 1928 heat units were
developed from the briquettes, 11,OO(
heat units from anthracite, and about
1900 from bituminous coal. From
the anthracite, ashes weighing fou,
pounds were produced, while the sam,
amount of the prepared Ignite on ly
produced one pound, eight ounces O
ashes.
The test yesterday at the 500 shop.
was in every way successful, the ig
mite producing regular heat and keep
ing the steam pressure at the rsquiret
$50 pounds during the entire expert
ment. The Ignite produced but littl,
smoke and at the end of the test th,
fire box Of the locomotive was entirely
free of clinkers, 1900 pounds Of th,
briquettes were used, and drove th,
engine about twenty miles.

the show, and many features have
been arranged, including a special.
event on Jan. 20. Dan Patch, the race
horse, owned by NJ. W. Savage. will
