Ignite Deposits Of Western Portion Of The.
State Make irrigation Practical
I. A Wilder, GeOOgst Makes Report on Conditions as
Found TO The Department al Washington

The only workable beds Of Ignite
east Of the center OF the state are In
the Turtle Mountains and at the
southern bend Of the Sheyenne river,
about Is miles southeast OF Valley
City. The region in which discover
les of Ignite might reasonably be
expected may be roughly bounded on
the east by line Beginning at the
northern boundary Of the state, 30
miles east OF the Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway,
and extending southeast to Harvey,
thence south through Steele to the
southern boundary. On the north,
south, and west the Ignite continues
beyond the boundaries OF the state
This region Is OF very great extent,
having an area equal to half that Of
the state Of Chic. The extent and
thickness Of these Ignite beds are
discussed in detail by Mr. Wilder.
The Ignite output Of the state
amounted in 1902 to 315.SOO short
tons, valued at $42S,270.
Judged by ordinary standards the
Ignite is very inferior. It's fuel value
has been determined analytically, and
the results Of the chemical, calorime-
trio, and practical evaporative tests.
by which it has been examined are
described by Mr.. Wilder. The sub
ject Of pumping water by means of
power plants supplied with ignite
fuel is discussed by Mr.. Charles s.
Mcgowan. .':ss IL
| Mr.. Wilder says in conclusion that
opportunities to reclaim arid lands
appear to exist in the larger flats on
Missouri river. In choosing fiat
where reclamation by pumping may
be tried under most favorable condi-
tons, a number of factors must be
kept in mind Nearness to a railroad
and market are as essential as an
abundance of cheap fuel and good
land. An active interest on the part
OF the resident owners is necessary
where the land is already in part or
wholly private property.

The following from the report Of
the United States geological survey
North Dakota Mgnite will
prove of interest:
Under the direction OF Mr.. N. H.
barton Of the United Stabes geologi-
cad survey, who Is making a general
investigation OF the underground
water resources OF western United
States, Mr.. F. A. Wilder has recently
examined the Ignite deposits OF North
Dakota and studied their relation to
irrigation. gS b
The areas most favorably situated
for irrigation in North Dakota are
the broad terraces along the Missouri
and it's tributaries. These streams
are deeply intrenched, and 1t does
not seem possible by means now
available to raise water from them a
vertical distance of $50 to 400 feet
over the bluffs that rather sharply
bound the broad valleys. ~
The fertile terraces in the valleys
Of the streams range from Is to 100
feet in elevation above water level
As there Is an abundance Of Ignite
along these streams, 1t has seemed
desirable to consider the possibility
OF irrigating the 100000 acres in.
cluded in the terraces by pumping
water directly from the rivers, using
Ignite as fuel To this end the
Ignite area has been studied and the
Ignite beds investigated Practical
tests have been made to ascertain, al
least in rough way. the cost Of
irrigating river flats which are less
than 100 feet above the streams. The
Missouri and its tributaries in North
Dakota have been followed, and the
extent and elevation OF the river fats
and the amount and quality of the
Ignite near them have been noted.
- If only a small fraction of the
western part of the state is under .ir-
rigation the productiveness OF the
whole region will be greatly In
creased. With a few acres which
can be watered at will, and abundant
range of cattle in the broken or roll
ing land back of the valley, ten
families, by combining farming with
cattle raising, will prosper where one
finds a living now. These conditions
viii lay a sure foundation for the
dairying industry, which should be
one of the foremost of the state.

ATTEMPT AT FORGERY.
Effort Made to Defraud
Union State Bank by a Sharper
at West Baden.

On Thursday of last week the
Union State Bank Of this city re-
ceived letter by special delivery
which contained what appeared to
be a draft on that institution signed
by John Schreiner for $4,000 pay
able to the order of George Kisser.
The letter requested that remit
lance for the draft be sent in care
of the Hotel Sutton, West Baden,
Ind. in a Chicago draft. The sus-
picion of the officers of the bank
was aroused by the fact that the
letter came by special delivery al
though the signature seemed
genuine enough. In an answer to
a wire sent to Mr.. Sch1einer the
bank found that the draft was
fraudulent, Mr.. Schreiner never
having written such draft during
his stay at West Baden. Mr.. Schrei-
ner made an effort to have the
forger arrested but the last heard
of him was a letter sent from a
town some thirty miles from West
Baden requesting that his mail be
forwarded to Cleveland. The postal
authorities have taken the matter
up and will endeavor to find him in
which case he will be convicted
under the federal laws covering
such fraudulent use of the mails.
Mr.. Schreiner writes that the fellow
was certainly a slick one having
initiated his signature almost per-
fectly. No doubt he studied Mr..
Schreiner's signature on the hotel
register and then looked up Lancas-
ter in some directory. After locat-
ing Lancaster he could find from
any bank directory that Mr.. Schrei
ner was an officer of the Union
State bank and after practicing on
Mr.. Schreiner's signature for time
sent the forged draft. A bogus let
ter was sent to the Hotel Sutton
which will probably be forwarded
to Cleveland where the man calling
for it will be arrested. The bank
was certainly fortunate in getting
out of the affair without losing
something and only the wisdom Of
the officers in sending to Mr.. Schfei-
ner for authority before paying the
draft saved them from such loss.

Many Cattle Killed.

What is believed to be the biggest
killing of tuberculous cattle that
ever took place in Wisconsin was
consummated last week on the Leg
Ter farm, near Argyle, Lafayette
county, when 50 head of cattle out
of a total of 70, were killed by State
Veterinarian Roberts. The herd
was found to be badly infected,
long contact with diseased members
Of the herd and improper stable con-
ditions leading to the spread of the
disease. Many of the animals were
found to be badly infected. Sixty
nine showed reaction when the
tuberculin test was applied. DR..
Roberts was accompanied to Argyle
by Prof. FL. l.. Russell, state bacter-
iologist, and George McKerrow of
the live stock sanitary board, and
J. @. Emery, dairy and food COM
missioner. Killing and examinations
were witnessed by about 200 people
from the surrounding country.
Cattle so killed are valued by APP
praisers and the owners get two
thirds of their value from the state.

LENA JEIDE DEAD.
Popular Young Lady Dies Suddenly
Yesterday.

The city was shocked late Tues
day afternoon by the announce
ment of the death of Miss Lena
Jeide Of this city. After dinner at
about lis Miss Jeide started to
sweep the stairs at the Jeide home
when she was taken with a severe
pain in the head, She called up
stairs to her mother who hurried
down stairs and caught her just as
she was about to fall. Mrs. Jeide
carried her to sofa and called Drs.
Godfrey and Hassell. After re-
naming unconscious for about an
hour she revived, regained her color
and seemed a great deal better but
soon sank again into unconscious
ness and died at 3:20 p. m. The
doctors pronounced her death due
to a hemorrage of the brain. Miss
Jeide had never shown any sym
ptoms of such trouble except being
a victim of severe headaches. The
deceased was twenty-five years OF
age and leaves to mourn her death
besides a host of friends in the city
a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs.
John Jeide and two brothers Oscar
of this city and Leo of Baraboo.

High School Notes.

Miss Stiles gave very interest
ing talk on the life and works OF
Friedrich Schiller Monday morning.
Tuesday morning being the Tooth
anniversary of his death several
members of the Senior German
class gave translation before the
school Of several parts of William
Tell following each translation
with an account of the action in the
particular scenes of the play. The
object was to interest the pupils in
the life and work of Schiller and
in the lecture to be given Thursday
night by Prof. Melsnest of the
State University on Schiller. Prof.
Meisnest is eminently fitted to de-
liver such a lecture both by travel
abroad and long study. He will
illustrate his lecture with forty
stereopticon views showing the
important scenes in the drama
William Tell. The success or failure
Of this venture depends largely on
the interest taken in it by the
student body. Let us all feel that
it is our entertainment and that it is
given especially for every one Of us.
If we have this view of it and get
out and hustle selling tickets we
should be successful but if we hold
back and take no interest whatever
the venture may not be SO success
full. Now let every member of the
High School interest himself and
his friend in getting out as large a
crowd as possible on Thursday
evening May 18th.
There will be a game of base
ball Saturday afternoon between
the High School team and the
second team to decide which team
can claim the city championship.
The second team formerly high
school affair has taken in several
outsiders and is now a strong team.
They played Fennimore High
School Saturday at Fennimore and
though defeated by a score of IA to
put up very good game. Come
out Saturday and see a good game
of ball.
About sixty pages of the annual
have been printed and it will
probably be completed in a couple
Of weeks. The printing is being
very we'll done and the book prom
ises to be dandy.
The English Literature class has
finished Silas Mariner and taken up
the study of Shelley and Keats.
Max Kolb started school again
Monday after a three weeks absence.
Although still obliged to use
crutches Max gets around pretty
we'll.

Tales of the Town.

A girl who signs herself Mabel
asks how to get rid of an unwelcome
sutton, who is so persistent that no
brand Of snubs, or even GOODNESS of
the polar variety, has sufficed to
Danish.
1t should be an easy matter to
look a love-sick youth squal ely in
the eye and tell him that the time
has come for him to do his roosting
on some other front porch and to
carry his little bag of caramels to
some other girl.
Perhaps, Mabel, you can't APP
preciate the ache that gets into the
heart of a young man once in
while. He is insane. His world be-
gins and ends with you. He writes
bad poetry wien he should be keep
ing books for the boss. His appetite
fails him, and when he walks the
streets the birds sing, the dogs bark,
and even the breezes echo the one
word, "L-o-v-e." He knows he is
unworthy, that a century of correct
living will not make him fit for you
to wipe your shoes on, but he has a
hazy sort of an idea that if he keeps
on loving, in time he may wear out
resistance and that your pity may
be transformed into affection.
That is why he comes tripping up
the steps with the candy and the
flowers; why he is kind to your
little brother, whom he privately
uninks is being reared for the peni-
tertiary; why he listens to the
stories told by your respected
father, who has a fine recollection
of how the battle of Bull Run was
waged, and likes to tell about it.
That lover would help carry in coal
at your residence, or turn the
wringer if he was asked. He is in
love. Snubs, rebuffs, hints, polite
refusals are as the signing of the
winds to him.
There is just one thing for you to
do. Be frank. Be brutally frank.
Don't try that old ''Tll be-a-sister-
to-you" scheme. 1t was a failure
when Rameses I was counting.
Make your NO as big as brick

to cure it.
