Adjt. Gen. Poole Talks Of Several sia-

Adjt. Gen. T. H. Poole of the North
/; Dakota National guard says that the
guard were in excellent shape at the
present time, and that he expected
several great improvements to be made
within the next year. In an interview
Gen. Poole said:
'The meeting of the guard at MI.
not was great success in every way
and many matters of importance to
the state soldiers were discussed. A
resolution was passed, favoring the
Dick Capron service pay bill, which
will be introduced at this session of
congress, and requesting our legis-
lators at the national capital to vote
for the measure. We also appointed
a committee. consisting OF Col. Mich.
OILS of Mandan, Mai. Frame of Graf
ton, Capt. Hanley of Mandan and
Lieut.. Richie of Valley City to codify
the military laws of the state so as
to conform to the Dick bill and the
state laws. The military laws of the
state, as they now stand, are obso-
lete, and the revised code will be pre-
sented at the next session of the
legislature for passage. The legisla-
tive committee will be announced
later.
Cali companies are placed, and the
enlistments in the individual com.
panies are good. We will pay par
ticular attention to target practice
the coming season, and expect that
the North Dakota guard will have re-
ceived the new Springfield rifles be-
fore the season opens. Some of the
states are being supplied with the
new arms now, and our consignment
should be forthcoming soon. We viii
send team to the national shoot at
Camp Perry, and the state will also
issue individual medals for range
work. We will also pay considera-
BILE attention to indoor practice, and
each company will be supplied with
an outdoor range with ranges up to
800 yards.
I'VE have also asked to be sent to
Spokane for the combined maneu-
vers, instead of to Fort D. A. Russell.
1T is likely that the state will also
provide pay for the soldiers for drill.
which will add further incentive to
enlistments, and I believe that there
is great future in store for the citi-
zen soldiery in general and for those
of this state" 49,:

forcibly in favor of the enforcement

to the state. Legitimate druggists
claim that nine out OF ten Of those
who are operating under such permits

the sooner this law was repealed the
better it would be for the state. He
favors a law allowing state officers
to inspect shipments where common
carriers enter the state. Mr.. Wine
man further contended that the allow
ing of c. o. D. shipments worked ma.
terially against the proper enforce.
ment of the prohibition law. The sale
of so-called malt liquors is another
thing that must be done away with

which really are beer, thus acquiring
an appetite for liquor, the very thing

In and About the State
'sR,ck INDUSTRY Is BIT HELP.
Quality Of Brick Manufactured In
Western Part Of state AZ Good 40

Quality Of Brick Manufactured In
Western Part Of state as Good 10
Made Anywhere In the Country.
II North Dakota was shut of from
the rest of the world it could supply
its people with all the necessities of
life, with a good many of the lux
uries. Every day developments are
being made which makes the Flick
ertail state more capable of taking
care Of itself, and it could well exit
without outside assistance.
One of the late developments which
has been made is that of the brick
industry. which is thriving one in
the western part CT the state. For
some time there has been good brick
made west Of the Missouri. and now
the Washburn Ignite Coal Co. is
making an excellent quality of this
great building product as their coal
mine north of Bismarck.
In speaking of the matter Saturday,
Harry Hammond, manager of the
Washburn Ignite Coal Co., said:
"Our new industry, which has now
been In operation since last summer,
is coming to the front. and we are
now making quality of pressed
brick which cannot be surpassed for
building purposes in any other place
In the country. The brick is made
from superior quality of clay which
is taken from under the coal in the
mines, and we have an expert brick
burner from the East. who is SUPER
vising that part of the business As
We are burning the bricks with Ignite
coal, We are able to make the brick
ut a reasonable cost and the fuel has
proved very satisfactory in every re-
spect since we have learned how to
handle it. At first considerable trou-
bic was experienced by the burner
in learning the use of coal and sew.
"eral kilns of brick were ruined I, -
ing over or under burned. Ho
that has all been overcome, and uar
brick is excellent, both in color and
texture, and the other qualities which
go to make up a high class pressed
brick.
I'VE have not been selling much of
this commodity so far. as we are a
new firm and have not been, making
any efforts to dispose of it. but fully
believe that it will only be short
time until great quantities of it will
be used, as we have advantages of
freight. and the material produced is
as good as is to be found any place
1t is also North Dakota industry,
which is one more to add to the in.
dependence of the state from outside
supply"
