Attention is called to extracts
published in this issue, taken
from a government report made
by j. A. Holmes, government ex-
pert in geological work, also an
expert on fuels. Mr.. Holmes
sounds a warning to the country Of
the great waste Of fuel and the
proba able exhaustion Of same by
the end Of century. This report
is Of especial local interest and
North Dakota should heed this
warning since the state is rich in
the possession extensive coal beds
which underlie the greater part Of
the western half of the state.
There has been reserved to the
state, by it's constitution, many
thousand acres Of land valuable
for it's Ignite coal beds, in fact, it

experts that there are $50 town
ships Of state lands in which exist
Ignite deposits. 1t therefore is
the duty Of the state to protect
this wealth Of fuel supply for in
definite time for the benefit of the
present and future generations.
Furthermore, the value of this
Ignite bearing land to the state
can be understood when it is
known that our state geologist es-
Inmates that from every acre of
land containing four-and-a-half
foot vein of Ignite, 5000 tons of
coal is mined. and from every acre
containing seven-foot vein,
5000 tons is taken. Suppose this
unmlned coal to be worth but ten
cents ton, each acre containing
a four-and-half foot vein would be
worth $500 an acre, and each acre
containing a seven foot vein, would
be worth $500 an acre.

by Comrades,

New York, Oct. SO.-Because he
failed to carry out an errand Of
vengeance Vito Greinaldi, member
of the Black Hand society, was stabbed
to death by members of his own band
on Knoll street, Brooklyn. A dyna-
mite bomb was found secreted be-
meath Greinaldi's coat, which, the po-
lice say, would have blown up an en-
tire block had it exploded. A loaded
revolver was found in his pocket. Pa
pers found on the dead man proved
that Greinaldi was member of the
Black Hand and had started to dyna-
mite a mans home who had refused
to pay tribute to the society. Detec-
tives say that members of the Black
Hand followed Greinaldi on his mis-
sion and when he baked at his task
they killed him. A stiletto lay near
Greinaldo's body. There were nine
stab wounds in the body.

Typewriter
The Standard Visible Writer

You can write any of these things yourself if
you do not happen to have a stenographer.
For you can easily learn, with little practice
to write just as rapidly. and as perfectly. as an
expert operator the Oliver. Because the
Oliver is the simplifed typewriter. And yon
can see every word you write. About so per
cent more durable than any other typewriter
because it has about so per cent less wearing
points than most other typewritcrs.
50 per cent easier to write with than these
other complicated intricate machines that
require "humoring technical knowledge
long practice and special skill to operate.
Than mac hines which cannot be adjusted to
any special spacc-with which it is impossible
to write abstracts, insurance policies. or odd
sized documents except you buy expensive
special attachments requiring experts to
operate.
You can adjust the Oliver to any reasonable
space-you can write on anv reasonable size
and thickness of paper. right out to the edge,
with out the aid of any expensive attach
meut or special skill and your work will be
neat appearing legible and clear.
For the Oliver is the typewriter for the doc
stor, the lawyer, the ncurance agent, tho mer-
chant, the hotel proprietor-or any man who
does his own writing.
