The county Is SO deeply in debt, being
several thousand dollars above the
debt limit allowed by the state consti-
tuition, that conservative citizens are
urging that the county seat removal be
deferred for a few years. Stanton pos

the construction Of a new building,
and there is no money to do it with,
nor could the county sell bonds, be-
cause they could not be legally issued.

Citizens National Bank at Fargo. 5ss
Fargo Forum: The case Of the
state Of North Dakota vs.. Jas. Kenne-1
dy. w. B. Douglas and Thomas Baker
is on trial in district court today. The.
state sues to recover Judgment for
$4,000, alleged to be due from. the de-
PENDANTS as bondsmen for the defunct
Citizens National Bank OF Fargo.
When the case was called for trial this
morning the attorneys for the defend
ants argued a motion for verdict on
the plaintiffs pleading, holding that
the obligation was outlawed by the
statute of Limitation, over six years
having elapsed since the bank failed.
The attorneys for the state, in con-
testing this motion, hold that the last
payment Of the receiver of the bank
in August of last year was recogni
ton Of the real obligation of the
bondsmen dates from the last payment
OF the receiver in August, 1903. The
facts in the case are that the state
was a depositor. in the bank, prior to
its failure and having something like
$4,000 on deposit when the doors were
closed. When this money was de-
posted the state required d bond for
any default that the bank might make.
The comptroller closed the doors and on
receiver was appointed. Quite a num-
Der of dividends have been paid, the
last on August 81, when the bank made
its final payment, leaving an indebted
ness still to the state of $4,000. The
attorneys for: the plaintiff now hold
that until this final payment was made
they would nave no way Of determin
ing. the amount of the bonds liability.
as until the banks affairs were entire
~ settled up 1t was barely possible for
the bank to pay out in full relieving
the bondsmen. The attorneys for the
bondsmen hold that their RESPONSE
,bility ceased when the government
took hold Of the bank and that when
its assets passed into the hands Of a.
receiver, which was over six years ago.
The court had not decided on the mo-
ton at o'clock this afternoon. There
are several cases Of similar nature,
to follow, one In which Cass county
appears as the defendant. The case

EXCESSIVE COST OF Ignite
t#+s.. COAL.

me faFSO fOIum says the ugnlCe
mine people will have to go along some
to get the newspapers to boom their
mines next year. Possibly it is not
the mine people who are altogether to
blame for the extraordinary and out
rageous prices charged for Ignite coal
throughout the state. In some places
Ignite is selling for from $500 to Sc
per ton--a price that will surely kill
the industry in this state. It is a mat
ter the mine owners and railroad COM
panies must necessarily take hold-of
il any relief is to be had. 1t is likely
that it will be found on Investigation
that in most instances the present high
price Of Ignite coal is not due to in
creased miners wages nor to excessive
railroad rates, but to increased profits
of ignite dealers. Accepting as true
the recent statements of Manager Pen
nington of the 500 as to the cost of
railroad transportation and of General
Washburn Of the Washburn road as to
the cost Of Ignite on cars at the mine
there can be but one conclusion-ex-
scessive profits for dealers In Ignite.
AS the Tribune has pointed out and
maintained for years, the Ignite coal
industry in North Dakota cannot be
developed except upon the narrowest
margin to miner, carrier and dealer.
The mine operators have it in their
power to name the local dealers and
having this power it Is their duty-if
they desire to preserve the goose that
lays the golden egg-to see that the
consumer receives the product of the
mine with the lowest possible living
margin for the dealer. Ignite coal is
such an important factor in the settle
ment and development of these vast
sprairies, almost barren of all other
kind of native fuel, that 1t should be
considered commodity like sugar or
coffee with the merchant and sold to
the consumer on narrow margin.
While the people OF Bismarck have
not the ground for complaint that
seems to exist in other communities it
does seem strange that as the means
of mining are improved and cheapened
and as more mines are constantly be-
ing opened up in this vicinity the cost
eof Ignite to the consumer in Bis
smarck should constantly increase.
General Washburn tells us through
the medium Of the Minneapolis journal
that $50 Tar as the Wilton Ignite is
concerned there has not been any In
crease in prices" and that "the ruling
price at Bismarck is below that fixed
by agreement as the maximum. .
Agreement with whom? Certainly not
with the consumer, for the consumer
does not believe he should pay more
for ignite now than he has heretofore
General Washburn says the. cost Of
coal at the wilton mine is 81 rs per
ton. The tariff rate to Bismarck Is
80 cents per ton. This makes the cost
of Ignite on track at Bismarck $1.75
II costs the consumer $3.50. Thirty
B Ave cents q ton for local delivery Is q

cost u the bin -. 10 per ton This
