At once. as far as existing con.

probably be employed by the coun.

NORTH DAKOTA COAL LANDS
Withdrawn From Public Entry. In the Dickinson
District 40 Townships Are Taken From the
Market.

Garfield on the Standard oil coropora-
ton, declared that the time had come
when no coal or oil lands held by the
government, either within the public
domain proper or territory owned oy
Indian tribes, should be alienated; The
president was of the opinion that the fee
to such lands should be kept in, leased
on such terms and for such periods as
would enable the government to keep
entire control of them.
Senator La Toilette introduced resolu-
tons to attain this end, and Secretary
Hitchcock enlisted the support of Sena-
tor Spooner in the same direction, ask
ing that provision be put in an appro-
priation bill authorizing the president to
locate and withdraw from entry all pub
lie coal lands. Congress adjourned with
out any such action, however, and the
president and Secretary Hitchcock, after
thorough investigation, determined to
act without more specific authority, rest
ing upon the belief that the people will
approve the policy which is to prevent
an injury to the public interests.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
played prominent part in the discussion
in the senate on this subject last winter.
He urged vigorously greater government
control of coal, oil and other mineral
lands in the possession of Indians. The
senate, however, turned down his ideas.
Senator La Follette's presentation of the
subject attracted the attention of the
president, as it was in line with the con-
sideration he was giving the subject of
the government retaining possession of
coal lands still within the public domain.

MCKENZIE COUNTY NEWS.

Mrs Eta Berwick of Farview died
July g. Deceased left TWO children,
mother, father, brother and sister.
There is considerable complaint of the
seemingly poor business connection be-
tween county officials in Mckenzie coun-
ty, owing to the scattered condition of
official homes. One official says that as
soon as delinquent taxpayers come
through, the county will build an official
home at Alexander that will corral the
official family without crowding.-Bu-
for Tribune.
Mckenzie Chroni lie: A warrant was
issued last week for the arrest of Ralph
Raum and Sheriff Lampham placed
Raum in the Williams county Jail Friday.
Some old crooked horse deal seems
to have come to light, in which
-Raum had a hand. l.. B. Burns of
Schafer is reported to have been ar
rested also as one of the guilty parties.
1t appears the affair is one that took
place last winter, in which the guilty
parties are charged with having stolen a
horse and then selling it to half-breed.
Shortly after they found the horse was
being traced and fearing detection had
restolen the horse from the half-bre' d,
who had refused to sell the horse back
to them, and led the animal off in the
timber and there shot it, where it was
later found by the half-breed who
tracked it in the snow. Thus they ex.
pected to destroy any and all evidence
of the fraudulent transaction. MIR. Poe
was called on as witness in the case as
it all took place in his vicinity.
Fredrick Martin, father of Schafer
hardware merchant, ended his life by
throwing himself into the waters Of
Cherry creek last Thursday forenoon
He had just arrived from Fremont, O..
to make his son visit He had told tho
folks of his intention of going to the
spring for drink and take a walk
through the field to view the condition OF
the crops, and from all appearances
there was nothing wrong with his con.
duct. Deceased was 81 years of age and

NIGHT CHANGED TO DAY.
Wonderful SearchIight Drills to be Seen at the
jamestown Exposition Next Year.

Poking their long fingers of light into
every corner of Ham pton Roads and
illuminating every detail of cloudland,
searchlights will make night as bright as
day during the Jamestown exposition,
which is to be held next year at Sewell's S
Point, near Norfolk, Virginia.
Just across Hampton Roads from Sew
ellis Point is Fortress Monroe, which is
equipped with powerful searchlights, by
means Of which newspaper can be read
five miles away. Every warship at the
naval rendezvous next year will also
have scarchlights, some of which are so
powerful as to require special engine
to generate their electricity. Among
the largest of these is that just supplied
to the new battleship Connecticut. The
lens of this searchlight is more than five
ieet across. When the maximum power
is being used the lights have an intensity
of $4,000 candle power and it's rays can
be thrown several miles.
Searchlights were originally adopted
to find torpedo boats at night. They are
now used for signalling, to discover a
man overheard, to aid navigation, and
for many other purposes. When man
falls overheard from one of the great
oiAAHS a. oSo, liC SCdiCllllSllt ID a. OAASS
trained upon him and the ray is held
there until he is picked up by the boats
In signalling, a shutter is attached to
the searchlight. This alternately inter
rupts and prolongs or shortens the period
during which the light is visible. BY
this means the operator is able to tele-
graph forty miles, using any telegraph
code. In Manila harbor, during the in
surrection, messages were frequently
sent more than forty miles by using the
clouds as refectors. This system can
be used on cloudless nights, but the sig.
mails cannot be seen so far The search.
light is also used in signalling on the
same principle as wig-wag flags.
Searchlight drills take place whenever
a squadron lies in harbor. Steam
launches, to represent attacking torpedo
boats, are sent out from the vessels, with
instructions to return under full speed
each Launch striving to get as close as
possible without being discovered
Meantime the searchlights are SO di
rected as to have their rays skim every
square of water within the lights range
Sometimes. even under this severe glare
of light, the boats succeed in reaching
their ships. In actual war this would, o.
course, result in the anniRilation of the
war vessel.
Visitors to the Jamestown exposition
will have an opportunity to see search
light drills on scale never before at
| tempted.

CAUGHT.
Man With Superintendent
WaIdron's Horse and
Buggy Arrested at Ever

aus.
The Dickinson experiment station
mare and buggy which was stolen from
Hannaford street the night of July %
was found the past week at Everats,
S. D.
The mare was tied to telephone pole
in Dickinson in front of the E. L. Sco-
field residence, and was stolen between
8 and 9 o'clock in the evening.
1t was bold robbery.
Supt. Waldron advertised thoroughly
over the western portion of the state,
and sometime toward the close of last
week received word that the mare had
been seen at Seim, S. D.
He left at once for the south and} fol-
lowed east to the Missouri river and
across to Everats, where he found the
stolen property.
Sheriff Hartung left Monday night and
it is expected that he will be back with
his prisoner any day.
Mr.. Waldron wrote to Director Brodie
that the mare and property were found in
good shape. He also stated that the
man found with the property claimed he
had purchased the same. 1t may be that
several parties will prove to have been
implicated in this case.
A number Of horses have been stoler
lately and it is about time that this kline
of work was stopped. \
