DECREASE FAULT OF RAILROADS
Inability To Supply Cars at the Mines
When Most Needed Is the Cause
of Smaller Ignite Output.

Local Ignite coal dealers say that
the decrease in the output of ignite
coal during past year has been due to
the railroad companies inability to
furnish cars during the fall months
when the demand for Ignite is heav-
lest.
The demand for Ignite is steadily
growing. The reduction in price at the
mines is made by more improved meth
DDS for getting out the coal. Not for
the purpose of increasing the tonnage.
During the wheat season the rail-
roads are taxed beyond their power to
move the grain and 1t Is simply i'm
possible to get cars in which to load
Ignite coal.
Eastern coal dealers fare better as
cars loaded with grain are reloaded
with eastern coal and which furnishes
the railroad companies with loads for
their cars both ways. While cars for
the Ignite mines have to be hauled
back empty and they do not derive
much revenue from them consequently
do not furnish and the Ignite mines
suffer and their output is less. The
crops previous to 1904 and 1905 we're
not as heavy and the mines Jared bet
ter.

To Get Immigrants.

Max Bass, general immigration agent
of the Great Northern, is sending out
blanks to farmers in all parts of the
state. asking them for statement in
their success in farming. Be careful
in answering these not to overstate
conditions. Nothing would turn an
immigrant from our state quicker than
to come here and find conditions had
been over estimated. The story of
agricultural prosperity in our state is
quite good enough told just is it is.
The eastern farmer who is not satisfied
with the measure of our success wants
too sure thing" and would not
make a good citizen anyway. The
farmer who would succeed here or any
place else must work and plan intelli-
gently, and the same is true of bust
ness as we'll as farming.

NORTH DAKOTA COAL
PRODUCTION
IN 1905
Report of Statisticians Shows
Output Valued at Half a
Million Dollars.

North Dakota's total coal produc-
ton amounted in 1905 to 317,542 short
tons, which had spot value of $424,-
IT'S.
All of the coal produced in North
Dakota is brown ignite, extensive
beds Of which underlie the western
half of the stata II is NOT Il nigh
grade fuel for heating purposes, and
until 1896 it was mined principally by
ranchmen who had no other fuel.
The production of Ignite during the
last ten years has, however, been con-
siderably increased by the enactment
of law by the North Dakota .egisla-
ture, which compels the use of Ignite
in all state buildings and institutions
The production in 1905 was the larg.
est in the history of the state, being
1854 short tons, or II per cent in
excess of that of 1904, and 38,S77 short
tons, or 14.6 per cent over that of
1908, when the largest previous out
put was obtained. The increased
production was at sacrifice in val
ues, the average price having de-
clined from $3.50 per ton in 1903, to
$1.43 in 1904, and $1.34 in 1905. The
total value in 1905 was only $6,773
more than that of 1908.
The coal mines of the state gave
employment to GIG men in 1905
against SAT in 1904. They averaged
191 days in 1904 and 1876 days in
1905. Most of the mines worked 10
hours. There we're no strikes in 1905,
while in the previous year there were
IT'S men idle for &c DAYS, The mum.
Der of mining machines in use has
been the same for the last years
9 altogether. The machine-mined
product in 1905 was 97,7S9 short tons,
compared with 125,097 tons in 1904,
and 1922 tons in 1908.
These figures ale taken from the
forthcoming report of Mr.. E. w. Par
ker, statistican, of the United States
geological survey, on the production
of coal during 1905.

FISK HEARS DEMURRER ARGUMENTS
Arguments Filed by j. h. Wineman In
Case OF MAYER VS.. g. +. County.

Arguments flled ny j. Il. Wlneman In
Case OF Mayer VS.. G. +. County.
In chambers this morning Judge
Fisk heard arguments on the demurrer
filed by States Attorney Wineman in
the case of w. ]. Mayer against Grand
Forks county. The suit was brought
to have declared null and void three
tax certificates from the land sale of
December, 1900, which were purchased
by Mayer. In 1903 he demanded from
the county auditor tax deed which
was refused on the advice of the
states attorney. unless Mayer paid the
taxes which were due on the property
covered by the certificate prior to the
date of the sale in 1900, there being
three years of delinquent taxes at that
time. Mayer then instituted proceed
ings in the district court to have the
tax certificates declared null and void
on the grounds that the county had no
right to sell the property for delin-
quent taxes when it already had been
bid in at prior sales by the county.
The facts in the case were admitted
and the question of law raised on
demurrer, the grounds of which are
that when the claim was disallowed
by the county commissioners the prop
er remedy would have been an appeal,
and also on the grounds that the prin-
ciple of caveat emptor applied to tax
sales.
