Reports Exaggerated

The following concurrent reso-
luton recently passed by the leg
.islature shows what our law
makers think of the reports that
have gone out regarding condi-
tions thruout the state There
is no discrediting this report.
Be it resolved by the Senate of
the State Of North Dakota, the
House of Representatives con-
curing:
That, Whereas, reports have been
promiscuously circulated in the vari-
Gus papers of the country that there
exists a food and fuel famine in GER
tain portions OF North Dakota; and
Whereas, various commercial clubs
of several cities in this state, repre-
senting every portion thereof, have
reported, after investigation, to the
legislature that after a thorough in
vestigation of the facts they find:
First, that there is absolutely no
food or fuel famine in any portion of
North Dakota, but on the contrary a
large portion of the state, practically
the entire western section thereof, is
abundantly supplied with native lig-
mite coal, used exclusively by the resi-
dents of that section of the state, and
generally by residents of all portions
of the state, and easily accessible.
That said coal may be procured any
day upon the streets of most towns and
cities within the state, and the people
in most parts of the state are indepen-
dent of the railroads for their fuel
supply, with the exception of a county
or two dependendent upon branch
lines of railroads for service.
Second, that there is no food famine
in any section of the state, and no
suffering is existing among the people
thereof, but on the contrary there is
abundant provisions of every kind
and nature for all the people of the
state and in every portion thereof;
that there is no loss of live stock in
any part of the state, and SO far as
the Investigations have extended, they
have shown that it was unnecessary tc
feed range livestock, including horses
cattle and sheep; but on the contrary
such stock in a large area of the state
have been and are grazing on the
open range, and in other. portions O
the state ample forage is provided 70,
all stock.
That the Investigations disclose tina
there has been, and now is, absolutely
no necessity for aid of any kind to be
extended to new settlers in the state
but on the contrary, all new settler:
are comfortably housed and have a
bundance of food and fuel, and pos
sess every appearance of present ant
permanent prosperity, and that con
trary reports given circulation ar.
without foundation and do great in
justice to the state.
