sufficient to Offset the moisture and
prevent the briquette from dis
integration when submerged for
weeks under water.
The process through which the
coal passes is simple, and save for
the mammoth presses used, no new
machinery is employed. The coal
as it comes from the mine is
dumped into crushers, where it is
made uniform in size then it goes
to the disintegratQrs, where 1t is
reduced to powder, then elevated
to the top of the mill, where it
passes through a revolving scream
into bin where it then passes
through a drying process and while
hot passes into mixer where the
binder is thoroughly mixed in
proper proportions, thence to the
presses, then to a travelling belt
that conveys the briquette to the
cars or storage bins, when it is
ready for the market.
Annually there goes out Of the
state for coal about SO, 100000, and
with the briquetting of Ignite it
means a coal that for utility,
cleanliness and heat value is equal
if not better than the highest
grades brought from eastern marts,
and a large volume of the money
that goes out of the state will be
kept at home for other purposes.
It means increase in population,
also that this state will be a
marketer of coal outside of the
state; that will increase its revenue
and will bring in new industries
that will rapidly place North Da-
kota in the front rank with states
much older. It is only a matter
of a few years till these Ignite
fields will be the center of industry
and North Dakota will be called
upon through it's manufactured
article and large deposits of Ignite
to furnish its quota of heat units
to other states that are now rapidly
exhausting their su pply of COAL

Which Are You.

We recently saw one of our
citizens going home with small
basket of fruit. A few evenings
later we passed him again and he
has small package of candy. On
both occasions we were walking
with the same gentleman who re-
marked that the man was a good
fellow but blew in all he made so
foolishly. We merely smiled in
reply, but could not help, in our
mind, as we walked along, drawing
a contrast between the two men.
One was smoking cigar that cost
as much as the candy. Burning
into ashes and blowing out into
the air the money the other spent
for nick-nacks that brot smile of
happiness to the cheek he once
thot SO rosy, and gladdened eyes
that still sparkle like a thousand
diamonds with their telltale of love
for him, carrying home, one by
one, the sweet memories of life;
building evening after evening an
image of "Home, Sweet Home,'
that no time, even into eternity
would destroy. Nourishing and
kindling a new love that would in
old age look back to those happy
home comings and bless his
memory as the dearest papa that
ever lived. But what of our friend

unable to release himself and
remained there several hours.
Latter in the day the farmer re-
marked to his wife that he wanted
her to go to the barn and inspect a

MCLEAN COUNTY
DISTRICT COURT
Convened June 10-Large Calendar
Of Criminal and Civil Cases
To Be Tried.

The district court of Mclean
county opened at Washburn Mon
day, June 10, 1907, at 30 p. M,
with fourteen criminal and forty
two civil cases on the docket.
After convening court the case of
the State against B. II. Porter, on
the charge Of keeping and main
tanning a common nuisance was
called up and defendant did not
answer. The bond in this case
was for $500 and was signed by
Bessie Wyman and B. O. Wyman
and J. E. Miller. The clerk was
ordered to call the names of the
bondsmen three times and, there
being no answer. the bond was
forfeited, and a warrant issued for
nhe arrest of the defendant.
Forty-fve jurors were summoned
to appear Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock the. jury cases were taken
up. About Is applicants were
present to take out their second
citizenship papers, and the most of
them were sworn to the oath of
allegiance in open court during
Monday afternoon.
While larger number of aliens
were taking the oath of allegiance
the defendants in the Burleigh
county cases, Aaron Barony, John
Barony and Abraham Goldschlager
were brought in to the court room.
These defendants were being
held on the charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon, and the cases
went to Mclean county on an afi-
davit for change of venue to Bis
marck. Asst. Atty. Genl. Andrew
Miller appeared for the state in
behalf of State Attorney Patterson
and Mockler & johnson appeared
for the defendants.
Upon express recommendation of
the States counsel, and agreement
Of Mr.. Mockler, Aaron Barony was
allowed to plead guilty to simple
assault and battery, while the
cases against the other two defend
ants were dismissed.
The court stated that he knew
nothing about the circumstances
and took a course recommended by
Mr.. Miller, as representing the
States Attorney. Upon being
assured that the state was willing to
make that disposition of the cases,
the court proceeded as outlined.
In view Of the fact that he had
already been held in the Burleigh
county Jail for five months await
ing trial, Aaron Barony was fined
$50 without any further Jail SEN
tence. This fine was Immediately
paid and the three defendants were
allowed to 60 hence.

charge Of rape, was taken up and
a jury secured by four o'clock
in the afternoon.
The mother of the girl, Mrs.
Roam, testified that her daughter
Mamie, was about eleven years old
when the offense was alleged to
have been committed, also as to the
presence of the defendant at her
home at that time, and the fact
that boy baby was born to
Mamie in February, 1907.

NORTH DAKOTA
TO HEAT U. 5.
Briquettes Are to Revo1uionize the
Fuel Business Of America
Made Of Ignite.

The solution Of the coal problem
in this state means a great deal
more to North Dakota than is
credited at first thought; and for
years a few enthusiastic cranks (?)
have dreamed Of possibilities Of
future wealth and greatness and
many wise ones have believed
that if the coal problem were truly
solved it would be good thing.
But capital has ever been shy on
ventures that we're at most expert
ments. The result has been that
any solution of the problem met
with indifference at the hands of
wealth, first, because of chance,
and second, because of we'll known
methods of promoters who seek to
fleece the public. There have
been good propositions that have
fallen by the wayside because of
improper support and promoters
have had hard Shedding and have
come to naught with nobody
damaged save the exceptions that
apply to every rule. "A few have
been bit"
The real solution is very simple
and effective and the work of the
American Briquetting & Manu-
featuring 20, will be watched with
interest by North Dakotans.
Germany and France have long
been making briquetts from in
ferior Goals in those countries, and
German exports Of this fuel reach
annually to over 100000 tons.
1t has long been a fact recognized
that the time must soon come
when ofa necessity the briquetting
GOALS in this country must be
perfected.
The United States government
has in the past few years been
experimenting in the briquetting
of Goals, but mainly along lines
employed in Germany, and in a
measure has met with success in
other GOALS, but in North Da-
kota Ignite has not proven a
success.
The trouble has been in the
binder, which means a foreign
element used in cementing
the coal together. Cheap binders
there are, but while they hold the
briquetts in shape during hand
ling Or burning, they fail to with
stand exposure to the elements.
Treating the briquetts to a coat
of parafine or even crude
petroleum with the cheap binder
proves that good though ex-
pensive briquette can be made.
That which constitutes good
briquette must come under the
following conditions: First, it
must be cheap; second, it must
stand transportation and handling;
third, it must withstand rain and
exposure; fourth, it must not matt
in the burning and be smokeless;
fifth, it must be increased in
clorific value-at least not de-
creased-over the original coal
from which the briquette is made.
In order to get cheap briqette the
binder used must be small in
proportion to the amount of coal
used and must needs be handy to
the plant to avoid long transporta-
ton.
It is claimed that fax straw is
the real solution to the problem,
and the combination of fax straw
and Ignite coal should make a
fine fuel. Flax straw is not used
as a binding element, but a pro-
tective one from exposure; also its
chemical action during combustion
causes the briquette to coke and
stand up in handling and even in
burning, but exposure causes them
to crumble even worse than origi-
nal Ignite. The fax fiber OF the
oil itself in very small quantities

How About It..

While there is reason to believe
perhaps, that they are right who
assert that prohibition sentiment
is making rapid strides in this
country, there are certain sta
tistical offsets which not easily
adjust themselves to that pre-
sumption. The involved contrast
is treated in an interesting way in
the Chicago Journal which prints
a pertinent summary showing
that licensed drinking will become
extinct in Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, inside of ten years if the
prese rate of progress continues
In addition local option prevails
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky, Mississippi, and North
Carolina. Tennessee and Virginia
are prohibition in a few cities.
Kentucky whose name for years
has been synonymous with
whiskey, has forty-seven prohibi-
tion counties. In $50 of the 25O
counties in Texas the sale of
liquor is forbidden and fifty more
are largely free from licensed
salons.
That looks we'll. On the other
hand the hard fact is that through
out the country the consumption
of liquor as far from being less, is
steadily increasing. Must the
conclusion be that while sections
Of the country are SOLDERING up in
good form, other communities are
going heaelong to the bow-wows
under extensive drink? Oris that

vail, blind pigs do?- Ward County
