FUEL PLENTIFUL
Eastern Reports Regard
ing Supply Of Fuel and
Provisions in North Da-
kota Are Untrue.

Senator L. A. Simpson introduced the
following resolution which was passed
and ordered published the past week:
Be it Resolved by the Senate of the
State of North Dakota. the House of
Representatives Concurring:
THAT, WHEREAS, reports have been
promiscuously circulated in the various
papers of the country that there exists a
food and fuel famine in certain portions
of North Dakota; and
WHEREAS, various commercial clubs
of several cities in this state, repre-
senting every portion thereof, have re-
ported, after Investigations, to the legis-
lature that after a thorough investiga-
ton 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 en-
tire western section thereof, is album
dainty supplied with native Ignite coal,
used exclusively by the residents 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 independent of the rail
roads for their fuel supply, with the
exception of a county or two dependent
upon branch lines of railroads for SER
vice.
Second, that there is no food famine
in any section Of the state, and no suffer
ing is existing among the people thereof,
but on the contrary there are 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
livestock in any portion of the state, and
so far as the Investigations have ex.
tended, they have shown that it was I'M
necessary to feed range livestock, in
GLIDING horses, cattle and sheep; but on
the contrary such stock in a large area
Of the state have been and are now
grazing on the open range, and in other
portions OF the state ample forage is
provided for all stock.
That the Investigations disclose that
there has been, and now is, absolutely
no necessity for aid of any kind to be
extended Il new settlers in the state;
but on the contrary, all new settlers are
comfortably housed and have abun-
dance of food and fuel, and possess
every appearance of present and per-
manent prosperity, and that contrary re-
ports given circulation are without foun.
dation and do great injustice to the
state.

Billy Edwards mpres,
sion Of Dickinson,

j.. w. r. Edwards, in Forum: returned
from a short trip to Dickinson last night
and find that the trains on the N. P. are
moving right along about at regular
running time, although no on schedule.
Our reports from the western part of the
state about snow covering the ranges
and thereby destroying the grazing for
sheep and cattle are untrue. There is
not nearly as much snow around Dick
inson as in the Red river valley and
sheep and cattlemen out in that country
are not complaining as far as l could
learn. The territory about. Dickinson is
developing rapidly and the city is we'll
equipped with progressive land men
who are proud of the fact that they are
selling such excellent property. Quin-
Ivan, al old Forum print" is in the
business and is placing many substantial
settlers. Captain Aud, the Lytles and
others are selling land and look for a
grand rush in the spring because of the
promised railroad extensions through the
country south of their town. Mayor Dan
Manning and a number of his aldermen
and business men are organizing a COM
mercial club. They have a hall with
necessary equipment and have already

and boost for Dickinson-the greatest

rift is off the ranch during the cold
months and is host at the St. Charles at
night. which just suits "Polly." 1t is said
that he is the man who gives Frosty
Jones the tip when a stranger strikes the
town and FROSTY" proceeds to do the
entertaining act for the city and never
fails to make a good impression on those
who like the entertainment of the official
entertainer.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
"Thy Will, o God, is JOY to me,
A gladstone thing;
For in it naught but love l see,
Whate'er it bring.
"Within the circle of Thy Will
All things abide;
So l, exulting, find no i'll
Where Thou dost guide.
"In that %resplendent Will of Thine
l calmly rest;
Triumphantly l make it mine,
And count it best"
Many, alas, do not understand what is
meant by the words of the poet, simply
because they have not proved Gods will.
Jesus Himself says-John 7I7-"If any
man will do His will, he shall know Of
the doctrine whether it be of God or
whether l speak of Myself" But how
blessed to know that sweet will of God
and to abide in it continually, no matter
where it leads or what it commands US
to do. To the soul, which thus abides in
Him, there can be no fears, no anxious
cares, no foreboding future, nor any
calamities, because He permits all that
comes into the life and He knows best.
Oh, my dear reader, try His way for you
and find for your own sweet satisfaction
that what the poet gives as his expert
ence is Gods Best plan for you. Come
to the Sunday services, where you may
learn more of the blessed Savior's pur-
pose for us, and be sure TO come to the
commute song service at 1890.

TELEPHONE TO
 DICK GREEK

A. F. Boyd, the general manager of the Alaska Telephone & Telegraph Company, has decided to extend the telephone line from Taylor creek. across the divide to the Shismareff Inlet country, and the wire will be strung down that side of the divide as fas as Dick creek. The construction work is to be commenced as soon as the train is running through to Shell ton, and the material will be hauled from that point by team.
 The Pittsburg-Dick Creek Mining Company will have a large crew of men in the Shismareff country this summer, 1t being the intention to complete the construction of the ditch which will furnish water to Dick, Bryan and other creeks in that sec- tion. The installation of the ditch will place the owners of a large number of claims in that country in a position to open up their ground at profit, and the telephone will be necessary to con- duct the amount of business which will naturally be connected with these enterprises.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.

Judge Moore today granted an in- junction pendente lite in the case of the Northern Commercial Company vs. the John J. Sesnon Company. Tho dis :. pute between the two companies is over certain property leased to the de" fendant company by the plaintiff, namely, the dock and buildings con- nected with what has been known as the lower Sesnon dock, or the one near the Lacey saloon. The lease expired on June IS, but before that time it is alleged that the Sesnon Company re- moved all of the Improvements on the property, which was contrary to the terms of the lease.
 In construing the meaning of the lease papers Judge Moore stated it as his belief that the defendant company had no right to remove anything erect. ed on the premises in the nature of improvements, and so ruled.

CLEANUP SATISFACTORY.

Bobby Brown, who owns a number of the best claims in the Kougarok district, reached town on Saturday morning last from Taylor creek, where he has been operating during the greater part of the winer. He was accompanied by MT. Backus, of the Krugzmapa hot springs.
 MT. Brown states that the dumps which were taken out in the Kougarok district have been nearly all cleaned up, and the yield was quite up to the expectations. He believes that large amount of work will be accomplished in the Kougarok next winter. Many of the miners are already arranging for the transportation of their coal and supplies to work their ground.

TO SHIP
 BISMUTH

Without ostentation or blare of trumpets. Louis Dahl, the discoverer of bismuth in the Sawtooth range, has been quietly preparing to extract large amount of that metal from the alluvial deposits at the mouth of the canyon on Charley creek. tributary of the Sinrock river. Last summer he did a large amount of work on the ground, and the flat at the mouth of the stream was thoroughly prospected. This year the ground will be piped off by hydraulic pressure, and MT. Dahl and his associates expect that they will have more than ten tons of the metal ready for shipment on the last boats in the fall.
 Bismuth in the pure or placer state is worth $2.30 per pound by the whole- sale, and it is well within the bounds of probability that the first shipment of this metal from Nome will be worth more than fifty thousand dollars.
 The bismuth mines are situate about seven miles from the point where the railroad crosses the head of Nome river, and the necessary ma- terial for operating the property will be taken out as soon as the trains are running to that point. Operations will then be conducted on large scale all summer In addition to bismuth the creek carries also a small amount of gold and prospectors who worked on the stream in 1900 took out a few coarse colors, but not sufficient to pay the working expenses. They found an abundance of bismuth, but they had no idea of it's value.
 At the head of the creek Is large vein, which is impregnated with large pieces of pure bismuth, and which will yield immense profits when operated The vein has been traced for a dis tance of three miles, and has been crosscut in several places. It will be opened up and developed next winter, and large amount of the ore will be foated down the river on the food tide in the spring.
