A GOOD

Sen. McCumber has been tour
ing the state in the past few weeks
with the railroad commissioners.
He has been accorded a hearty
welcome everywhere and the press
of the state is almost a unit for
him for reelection. It is apparent
that he will be reelected practi-
cally without opposition He has
made a good senator, and there is
no reason why he should not have
the support of the state for re-
election. The people have had SO
much of the 'sfavorite son" business
in the past year or two, that they
are tired of it. They want a man
who is big enough to represent the
state and who has something back
of his candidacy beside his own de-
sire for honors. Senator McCum-
Der is the man for the place.
He has proven a good senator,
who has stood for the peoples in
terests. He is influential with the
administration, being a personal
friend of the president. He is a
good lawyer. an eloquent speaker,
and can we'll represent the interests
Of North Dakota as one of the SEN
ators at Washington. In his career
at Washington he has stood for
the people, and has helped frame
and pass legislation Of benefit to
the country generally. He has had
much experience both in the state
and nation and can be Of more ser
vice to the people if he is re-elected,
and that appears now to be certain.

of the mine and the other as an air
shaft for the ventilation Of the
mine. Down sixty feet below the
surface at the main shaft, entries
are being driven into the coal veins
at right angles to the main shaft.
These are being double shifted, in
order that tie mine may be ready
for operation in ample time to pre-
vent any shortage of the coal sup
ply for consumers this winter. AS
rapidly as the entries are driven
along the original course to a GER
tain distance, other entries are
turned at right angles to them,
rooms widened out for the opera
ton Of miners, tracks laid, and
when the hoists are installed, the
mine is ready for work. It is ex-
pected the new mine will be opened
October l to the commercial world,
although coal will be taken out con-
tinually as the entries are driven
into the veins. An engine house
has been erected at Mine No. 2 and
it will be supplied with the same
complete and modern machinery
as Mine No. 1. The benefits of the
experience at Mine No. l will be
had at Mine No. 2, and it will be
the best and completest mining
plant for Ignite coal in the country.
Grading has already been done
covering the two and a half miles
between the two mines, and tracks
will be laid SO that the mines may
be operated jointly, and the output
conveniently disposed of. The
tracks at the old mine have been
enlarged to accommodate sixty
loads and sixty empties.
A feature of the Ignite deposits
in these two mines is the thickness
of the deposit, reaching twelve feet.
The mines are dry and the coal is
easily worked. Experienced men
can easily make excellent wages,
and the rate of wages is in excess
of that paid in any Ignite mine in
the country, and in excess of the
bituminous mine scales farther east.
With enough men to work the mines
to their capacity, the Washburn
Company will put out 1000 to $500
tons daily during the coming winter.
The most essential requirement is
enough miners to properly work
the mines. This the company is
endeavoring to insure by Installing
every modern convenience, build
ing and operating it's own hotel,
paying a liberal rate of wages, and
in short, sparing no expense that
will put the two mines into the
best condition.
The expenditures Of the Wash
burn Coal Co., aggregating about
100000, are Of incalculable value
to the state of North Dakota. They
insure a prompt and inexhaustible
supply of native fuel, and they
mean a development ofone Of the
states greatest sources of wealth,
bringing Ignite coal into general
use, and assuring the state an in
come which shall grow with the
coming years.

Patronize the home printer. He
also likewise needs the money.

was about the worst graft that ever
struck the burg-a union labor di

card, the TRIBUNE office did the
work and the booster carried about
$50 out of town for two days work

derived no benefit from the Job,
and some Of the merchants were
scared into patronizing the fake
through fear Of being ssigmatized
as opposed to union labor There

sides patroeizing fake advertising
