AVERT ! ! ). The
FUEL FAMINE
Railroads Of West and Northwest
Fear Worse Coal Famine
Than Last Year.
PUT IN EARLY SUPPLY

Strenuous measures have been
adopted both by the government
and by railroads to avert a fue]
famine in the west and northwest
which is thought to be impending
next winter.
q. Howard Elliot president of the
Northern Pacific recently wrote to
Commissioner Lane, Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, sug-
gesting the probability Of "a fuel
famine that might exceed in its
serious possibilities the famine of
last winter. He advised that every
effort be made by the commission
to induce consumers, including the
government, to lay in supplies Of
coal during the summer months,
pending movement of crops in
tne early automun.
Commissioner Lane Immediately
took up the matter with Secretery
Garfield and Taft, urging that coal
supplies at all depots of the gov
ernment be put in at as early a
date as possible. It was consid-
cred at the last cabinet meeting
held before President Roosevelt
left for Oyster Bay and it was de-
cided that the question should be
adopted.
Commissioner Lane has received
from B. T. Stanton. chairman of
the railroad commission of Mon
.tana a circular which the commits
sion has issued respecting an in
vestigation into the subject of coal
supply now in sight and to be
available for the use of citizens Of
Montana during the winter months
of 1907 and 1908. The inquiry
shows that coal shortage exceed
ing that of last winter is not only
possible, but probable, unless steps
are taken to avert it and put in
their supplies of coal at the earli-
est possible date.
Commissioner Lane has been in
formed that the city of Los Ange-
les, CAL, has made arrangements
to put in the full supply Of coal
during the early summer months
,sand he has learned that the rail
roads Of the west and northwest
are placing at their various depots
all the coal they can store con

April and May have shown a re-
markably low rainfall and the pros
pect looks good for series of drier
years such as preceded the last few
wet seasons. If so the Valley will
again come to the front and the
higher and drier land of the state
will suffer. This will mean some
hardships for new settlers, but if
they will turn to stock, hogs, poul-
try and COWS it will be their saliva
ton and North Dakota will become
as she should d great dairy state.
Plant corn for seed. SOW oats for
hay, grow speltz for grain and
macaroni and there will be more
money for each farmer. The state
should in every possible way assist
the dairymen in getting a good
start and in finding markets for
dairy butter. Teach the farmer
the best method Of dairying and
above all of butter making. It
will be money well spent North

There is some talk Of the Darl-
ing postofice being discontinued
and a rural route being estab-
lished, the route to run out from
Turtle Lake. North and west of
town is about the best settled dis
trict in Mclean county and it
seems it would be possible to es-
tablish a rural route there if any
where.
. Philip Drummer who has been
working for John Wacker died in
the Underwood hospital last Sat
urday from bullet wound in the
head, caused by the accidental
discharge of % caliber revolver.
The bullet had entered below the
temple and lodged in the back OF
his head.
A German farmer south of
town started prairie fire to burn
the grass so he could see where
the rocks were. The fire escaped
him and burned Ed Kugler's
barn worth about 1925. The one
who started the blaze compromised
the matter with Kugler by giving
him top buggy, breaking fifteen
acres this spring and promising to
break and seed 45 acres next
spring. The damage by fire was
done about three weeks ago.
Those who will fool with fire
should remember that it is un-
lawful to set a fire without plow-
ing first a good wide fire break.
The punishment is also severe.
