tain Trade.
North Dakota millers are opposed
to bleaching flour, but allege that
they are forced to continue the prac-

with the action of Pure Food Com.
missioner Ladd of this state to COM
pei them to brand bleached -four as
such, one of the leading millers Of
the state said:
''The millers don't want bleached
-four, but we are forced into 1t to re-
tain our trade. The Southern millers
found they were losing trade because
their dark -four could not compete
with the product Of the hard spring
wheat, and began to use the bleaching
process. which made pure white flour
out of inferior wheat. We found we
werelosing the trade we had built up
and had to follow suit.
while doubt very much whether
the bleaching process is as injurious
as the pure food advocates claim,
am sure it doesn't benefit the -four.
The proper way, 1t seems to me, is to
educate the people that the natural
color flour is of higher food value"

The city, which seeks to have the Har-

the two withdrawals from the city, ten

Judge, and the scores of handsome
homes in that splendid section of the
city will pay township taxes instead of
their portion of the Minot city assess

sessed last year at 100000, and the
saving in taxes to the property own
ers, who are mostly Minot business
men, will be immense inasmuch as the
tax in Minot this year is approximate

township is hardly 2 per cent.
The city undoubtedly will appeal the

Drug Stores.
A fund of 5000 has been raised by
the Civic league of Minot for the pur-
pose Of employing professional spot.
tiers against the drug stores in Minot.
The league claims that the druggists
are violating the laws in the amount
of liquor that they sell to customers,
and that they are not making them
sign the little book. The Civic league
when organized last April started put.
ting up various candidates for city of.
fees, most Of whom were defeated.
In the county fight they took no part.
Following the election of Mayor Clark
who was not their candidate, the Civic
league has been making a study Of
municipal affairs. Several warrants
were sworn out for alleged blind pig
gers against whom their spoilers are
slated to appear as complaining wit.
nesses. They have been somewhat
chagrined, however, at the lack of op.
portunity they have had of exercising
their powers. Since Mayor Clark has
gone in every gambling house in the
city has been closed up, the social evil
has been completely segregated and
the blind pigs have been largely done
away with. The city officials, how.
ever, have nothing to do with the en-.
forcement of the laws regarding the
drug stores, so that the new channel
into which the league has turned its
efforts does not affect the city officials.
No announcement has been made as
yet to the part the Civic league will
play in the coming election, but it is
thought that no amicable agreement
can be reached among the members.

pie in the eastern part of the state
have any idea, and it will be a COM
paratively short time before the pro-
jects have been completed and have
transformed what is now a semi-arid
desert section into the most fertile in
the state.
State Engineer T. R. Atkinson has
explained the projects that are now
under way in his department There
are two Washburn county projects,
the Bowman county project, the feder-
al project at Williston which has been
completed, and there is project con-
templated at Bismarck.
According to Engineer Atkinson.
there are about 100000 acres of land
In the state that can be irrigated,
there being sufficient water supply
for the area. It is believed by the en-
gineer that the cost of pumping the
water any further would prove i'm.
QIdCl1Cdl.
The Williston project was com,
pleted by the government for use this
spring, and Engineer Atkinson stated
that he believed that it was success
In every light. In his opinion it will
mean much to the western part of the
state. 1t appears that in order to sup
ply that section with sufficient mois-
ture the valley must be flooded. With
the irrigation projects, the rain is a
secondary factor If the Bismarck
project is put through it will mean
much to that section of the state sur
rounding the capital, which this year
was scorched to some extent.
What are known as the Mouse river
drains are under way now, being con-
structed to relieve the flooded condi-
ton of that section of the state during
the spring season.

TORNADO NEAR MANpAN.
Damage Of About $4,000 In the City
Crops In Vicinity Hit Hard.

Damage Of About $50 900 In the City,
Crops In Vicinity Hit Hard.
A tornado struck Mandan last week
and the wreckage will total about $780,
900. The gale started with severe
wind which eliminated in torrents of
rain and hail. Trees were torn up by
the roots; at the 1nterocean hotel,
big three-story brick building, large
portion of the. roof was loosened and
fell into the dining room. The Demars
hotel, another three-story brick build
ing, had the entire roof torn off and
pieces Of it were scattered through
the city.
A boy was picked up near the opera
house and hurled three blocks and Sc.
riously bruised, houses were tipped
over, window panes shattered and
chimneys demolished.
"A gravel train crossing the Big Mis-.
souri, river bridge had its caboose
hurled against an upright pier. Had
the storm struck few seconds before
the car and three occupants would
have been hurled into the river.
1t is thought that the storm has
done great damage to crops.
During the storm many houses were
moved on their foundations and other
damage was done, including the level
ing of dozen windmills. One of the
incidents of the storm was the blowing
Ct baby out of baby carriage and
clear across the street, but aside from
bruises the child was uninjured. At
Fort Lincoln the storm did considera.
BILE damage to Company H quarters,
blowing the large front veranda off the
building. entirely demolishing it, and
caving one side of the brick structure
in about five inches. Part of the
tin roofing was blown off and carried
about half a mile by the wind.
The storm reached from north OF
Mandan clear into South Dakota in a
strip about fifteen miles wide and all
along the route grains of all kinds
were utterly ruined. Even corn fields
were wiped off the earth by the wind
and hail. Several detached storms
ravaged parts Of Dickcy, Logan and
Mcintosh counties, and the loss willy
run up to large figure. Many barns
and light buildings were wrecked in
this and other counties and stock
killed by lightning. The hail was as
large as hens eggs and drifted two
feet deep in places.

eoarders Escape With Very Few

Fire broke out in room on the
second floor over the kitchen of the st.
Paul hotel at Mohall about $50 Thurs.
day night and caused the costliest and
most wicked fire ever had in Mohall.
The direct cause of the fire seems to
be a conjecture, but it is presumed
that light was left burning and per.
haps the draft through the room from
the open windows caused it to blaze
up and explode.
The building was a three-story
frame and cheaply finished on the in.
side and made 1t very easy prey for
the fire fiend, and by the time the
alarm was given and the fire depart.
ment got tothe scene the flames were
rushing out of the second and third
story windows in the front of the
building. From the very start it was
evident that the structure itself could
not be saved, and the fire department
valiantly defended the adjoining
buildings.
The building fell in just thirty min,
utes after the fire started, and by this
1t may be seen that the blaze was a
fast one and hot. All the girls work.
ing in the house lost everything but
what they had on them; the boarders
and roomers were also heavy losers,
and very few saved small portion of
their effects. Mr.. Bennett, who had
retired and was asleep, came near
meeting death in the flames; his room
was broken into and he was pulled
into the street, where he found time
to dress himself. Mrs. Nichols deems
herself fortunate in saving her family,
even If everything is lost.
The loss will be $4,000, which is
partly covered by insurance.

LEADS STATES IN COAL SUPPLY
North Dakota Ignite Discussed by
Geological SURVEY.

sSSs ~ SaNOS& 6S8UuS0 StOVOO0Oo W
Geological Survey.
The total production of cial in North
Dakota in 1907 was 347,760 short tons,
having a spot value Of $560,199-a
gain over the output in the preceding
year Of 42,071 short tons, or 1876 per
cent in value, according to q. w. Par.
ker Of the United States geological
survey.
The extensive beds of brown Ignite
that underlie the greater part of the
western half Of the state have been
mined, probably ever since territorial
days; but the Ignite is not a high.
grade fuel for heating purposes, and
until 1906 mining operations were
carried on chiefly for the purpose of
supplying ranchmen who could obtain
no other fuel. The act of the North
Dakota legislature which makes COM
pulsory the use of North Dakota Zig.
mite in all state buildings and institu-
lions has, however, given stimulus to
the industry, and the gain in produc.
ton noted is the result.
The Ignite mines of the state gave
employment in 1907 to 562 men, who
worked for an average of 223 days, as
compared with 488 men, who worked
for an average Of 209 days in 1906.
The average production per man de.
creased from 1854 tons in 1906 to GIG
tons in 1907, while the daily produc.
ton for each employee decreased from
3 tons in 1906 to 2.7S tons in 1907.
The number of mining machirNs in
use increased from 9 in 1905 to IL in
1906 and to IL in 1907, while the ma.
chine-mined product, which decreased
from 97,7S9 tons in 1905 to 1885 tors
in 1906, increased to 136,7OO tons in
1907.
According to the reports of the state
geological survey 81 townships con
tain in some parts of their area at
least one bed of Ignite Z feet or NOR.
thick, and at least 100 other town
ships contain beds from 4 to z feet
thick. The total area underlain by the
lignite-bearing beds is estimated to
be $4,000 square miles. M. R. Camp
bell of the United States geological
survey estimates that 1920 square
miles of this area contain workable
beds, and the total supply of this lig
nftic coal exceeds the coal supply Of
any, other state in the Union.
The Ignite is brown and general,
woody, and as it comes from the
mines contains about 40 per cent oil
moisture. On exposure to the at
mosphere it Stacks or crumbles to
pieces. Continued exposure reduces
it to fine powder. 1t does not stand
transportation well and cannot easily
compete with Pennsylvania and Yves,
Virginia Goals, which find their way
into this region by way of the great
lakes. 1t will, however, doubtless I've
extensively used in the future for the
generation of power in gas-produce1
plants, as the experiments of the
United States geological survey have
shown that many of the Ignite Goals
are better adapted to such purposes
than some of the bituminous Goals.
