the rest was held and the coal was d.
vided among those who most needed
it. When I heard from Lakota few
days ago the people were still burning
soft coal because they could not pro-
cure anthracite.
"I never before saw so much snow
as there was up there last winter.
Even when the farmers could get coal
in town they found 1t very difficult to
haul it home. One man, who lives five
miles from town started with small
load, but before he reached home his
team became stalled in the drifts and
he was obliged to carry the coal the
remaining distance in bushel baskets
If anybody burned oats in Lakota
or vicinity we have never before heard
of it. From business standpoint we
are of the opinion that such false
statements as this appears to be should
not go unnoticed. 1t is time to call a
meeting of the business men and deny
officially such rot as has from time TO
time been sent broadcast during the
past winter for the edification OF east

of the rather thrilling experience the
people of Lakota had during the recent
cold snap. Druggist Crowley says:
"'At Lakota the people experienced
great inconvenience and some of them
really suffered with the cold. was
there during the worst of the block
ade, when the people were Obliged to
burn oats in their coal stoves in order
to keep from freezing. Although La
kota is on the main line of the Great
Northern, the people were simply I'M
able to get coal for long time. One
day fuel train passed through the
city, west bound, and one of the doc
tors there determined that the towns
people should have some fuel, and he
uncoupled the train. The engine and
six cars were allowed to proceed, but
