to be imported from Jamaica, New

grown in the country do not go near
meeting the demand. The country
produces valuable hard woods. such
as rosewood, maria, lgum-vital, cedar,
mahogany, cocoboIo, etc. All kinds of
tropical methods Of planting, as prac-
tice by the natives, are extremely
crude and modern agriculture and ma

Anna Gould Granted
MgNDivorce From Count
DECREE A GREAT VICTORY FOR
HER.
She Won on Every Point Except Per-
mission to Take the Children From
France Without Her Dinky Ex-
Counts Consent.

Paris, Nov. 14-Countess de Castel-
lane formerly Miss Anna Gould, was
today granted divorce and the GUS
tody Of her children who, however, will
not be allowed to be taken from
Boni Gle Castellane, their father.
The end of the famous case came
suddenly. The court brushed aside
the demand of the counts lawyers for
an examination of the witnesses, and
as anticipated, the public prosecutor
did not even ask to be heard
As soon as the court assembled
Judge Ditte handed down the judg-
ment which is a sweeping victory for
the countess.
The count is given the right to see
the children at stated intervals at the
home of their grandmother and keep
them one month annually during the
holidays.
The counts demand for an "alimen-
tary allowance of $4,000 annually
was pronounced by the court to be
without foundation in law and was re-
jected. The only point decided in the
counts favor was the imposition of the
inhibition on the countess to take the
children out of Europe without their
fathers consent.
The court appointed the president
Of the chamber of notaris to liquidate
the affairs of the husband and wife.
Judgment was given with costs
against the count.
The decree, the reading of which
hardly consumed five minutes, was de-
livered by the Judge in a voice so low
as to be practically inaudible to the
eager crowd filling the courtroom.
Many women climbed chairs in
vain efforts to hear the decision of
the court, and when they were aware
that the divorce had been granted they
seemed actually to resent the loss of

VALUABLE LIGNITE NINE WAS

It Is Said to Be the Best Ignite Coal
in the State and Has Attracted the
Attention of Government Experts Of

Williston, N. D., Nov 14.-One of the
biggest deals in the history of Willis
ton was closed today when the Will
liston Land Co, a large corporation,
composed of w. B. Overson, j. w.
Jackson, r. M. Calderwood, E. r.
Brownson, e. G. Grump. citizens of
Williston, became the owners of over
200 acres of the best coal land in
North Dakota.
This property is underlai6 by one
twelve-foot and one seven-foot vein of
Ignite coal. 1t has been examined by
experts of the United States geologi-
cal survey and they announce it to be
the best Ignite ever mined in the
United States.
Included in the purchase is the fa-
nous Bryn mine, from which seven
cars of coal We're shipped by the United
States government to st. Louis last
year where it was thoroughly tested
and passed upon. A practical test of
its utility was made by the govern
ment at Denver Col, in operating a
large sugar beet factory. The results
of this test were highly satisfactory.
Electrical power for operating the inn
mense pumping machinery to be used
by the government in the Williston ir-
rigation project, where water will be
lifted 100 feet, will be generated from
this fuel. The Williston Land Co. will
fully develop the mine, employing the

AT MINOT
THEY ARE CAUSING A LOT OF
TROUBLE.
Numerous Arrests Are Made But the
Complaining Witnesses Rarely Show
Up - Problem Is Up to the City
Council for Action.

Minot, n. D., Nov. 14.-The Minot
authorities have a race problem" on
their hands that is battling their ut
most efforts towards its solution.
In the western part of the city is a
settlement composed of over thirty
families of negroes practically all of
whom are daily defying the laws of
the city and whose quarrels and trib-
ulations occupy the entire attention of
at least one Of the night police force.
1t has been found almost impossi-
BILE to successfully bring the culprits
to justice, as no sooner has one negro
sworn out complaint against one of
his tribe than ne disappears and fails
to put in an appearance at the trial
in the morning, thus necessarily caus-
ing the prisoners discharge.
1t is estimated that there are per-
haps eighty people living in this dis
trict about twenty being females.
Complaints are being issued constant
ly by the white residents Of the neigh
borhood concerning the noises and out
breaks which occur there at all hours
of the night, but here again justice
lis handicapped by the deceitfulness OF
the blacks, each placing the blame up
on his neighbor.
During the past few weeks on an
average of three negroes have been
arrested each night and yet but two
fines have been imposed on colored
man during that tim.
An effort was made some time ago
to clean out the entire district. and
compel its Inhabitants to separate oI
move further away from the city, but
protestations on the part Of the rail-
road and merchants put stop TO any
esuch action. The negroes are for the
greater part employed in the barber
shops and stores, though several act
as porters on the Great Northern.
Robbery, drunk and disorderly anc
selling liquor without license are the
|main charges which have been pre-
ferred against this element, but The
complaining witness in each case has
failed to appear
The matter Is now reaching point
where official notice will be taken and
|action is expected to be forced by the
|city council who have been discussing
the proposition at their late meetings
