AGREE ON DIVISION
OF M'LEAN COUNTY
ENTHUSIASTIC DELEGATE CON.
vENTloN HELD AT GOODRICH
ON nth INST.
UNANIMOUSLY DECIDE ON DlVI-
sion LINE BETWEEN RANGES
70 AND 70.

4 Goodrich, N. D., Aug. Especial
There was an enthusiastic county d.
vision delegate convention held here
yesterday attended by delegates from
all parts of the county. The matter
was discussed pro and con, and it was
finally unanimously decided to agree
upon the division OF Mclean county
on the line between ranges 70 adm 70,
The first ballot stood SO for division
on the line of 70 and 70 and 20 for 80
and 81. The former division line was
then agreed upon. "->'.'.
At this meeting the necessity for d.
vision overshadowed the sentiment
for any particular line. An organiza-
ton will be perfected to crystalize
the sentiment throughout the county
in favor of division On the line agreed
upon at this convention, but no effort
will be made to get the other division
lines off the ballot. It is believed by
all who attended this meeting that at
last scheme has been agreed upon
that will result in division. This .divi-
sion line will make the new county
contain thirty townships and the west
ern county about sixty-two townships.

Relation Of Gas Producer to LOW.GPade Fuels
Scientific American

Scientific American: In recent
letter of the secretary Of the interior
to the senate, transmitting the results
Of Investigations by the government
of the fuels of the United States,
certain important facts relating to
tests made with low-grade fuels in
gas producers are related, which
have an important bearing upon the
QUESTION of the conservation of the
mineral resources Of this country.
The report says that the tests have
shown that many fuels of such low
grade as to be practically valueless
for steam furnace purposes, includ-
ing slack coal, bone coal, and Ignite,
may be economically converted into
producer gas, and may thus generate
sufficient power to render them OF
high commercial value. Coal as high
as as per cent ash, and lignites and
peats high in moisture, have been
successfully converted into producer
gas, which has been used in operat-
ing gas engines. 1t has been estimat-
ed that on an average there was de-
veloped from each coal tested in the
gas producer plant two and one-half
times the power developed when US
ed in the ordinary steam boiler plant
and that relative efficiencies will
probably hold good for the average
plant of moderate power capacity,
though this ratio may be greatly re-
duce6 in large steam plants of most
| modern type.
It was found that the Iow-grade
ligritrs of North Dakota developed
as much power when converted into
producer gas as did the best West
Virginia bituminous Goals when util-
ICED under the steam boiler. In
| This way Ignite beds underlying
from 100000 to 30,0O0,0OO acres of
public lands, supposed to have little

RIFLE TEAM ENRoUTE
Left Fargo Last Night for Camp Per-
ry, Ohio, to, Participate in Ma
tionai Contest.

Fargo, Aug. 12.-The rifle team
from the First regiment, N. D. N. G.,
arrived in Fargo this evening from
Devils Lake over the Great Northern
railroad enroute to Camp Perry, Ohio,
where the members will participate in
the national rife contest, which opens
on the range there Aug. IA. The team
transferred to the Northern Pacific
here and continued its journey east,
The team was joined by Brig. Gen.
E. G. Gearey, Jr., who will be captain
of the team. The other officers Of
the team are Major Paul Gorter, who
will act. as spotter at the contest,
and Col. w G. Trueman, who will be
range officer for the North Dakota
team.
The team is composed of fifteen
members besides the range officers,
and they have been at Devils Lake
since the close OF the state shoot
practicing for the competition, and
they should stand well in the contest.

or no commercial value, are shown
to have a large value for power de-
veloprlent. This is of Importance
to tho west and makes possible a
graf industrial development there.
In the fuel-testing plant, with the
Kanawha Valley coal the steam plant
produced OPS horsepower per pound
OF coal per hour, and the gas pro-
dHcer COG horsepower, or 3.43 times
tn efficiency of the producer gas
plant over the steam plant. The re-
markable feature in these tests was
the comparison between the Kanaw-
ha Valley coal under the steam boil
er and the Ignite in the producer
gas plant. The former under the
boiler produced 0.2S horsepower per
hour, while the Ignite produced 0.30
horsepower per hour when operated
in the producer gas plant, or 1.07
times the power of the best steam
coal burned in a boiler furnace.
1t became evident early in the fuel
investigations that the greatest pos
sible saving and consequent prolong-
alton Of the life of the fuel resources
of the country might be had through
more rational utilization of the
low-grade fuels. In the bituminous
coal fields, especially in the middle
west and southwest, where the Goals
are poor, the coal bed may run but
two or three feet Of good, merchant
able steam coal, but to mine this the
entries and drifts must be opened
to height Of six feet. This means
that from two to four feet Of mater
ial, even containing quite quantity
of minimum grade coal, is thrown on
the dump heap. Means Of burning
the whole coal as mined, or of burn
ing the "bone" coal alone, may be
devised which will make the entire
product mined of value, for heating
and power purposes.

MYSTERY OF THOUGHT.

Try to Concentrate Your Mind on One
Theme For Five Minutes.
A st. Louis physician who has given
much attention to the study Of mental
disease in it's various phases, though,
as he says himself, not enough to quail
ify as an alienist, has curious theory
with regard to concentration of thought
on any particular subject.
His idea is that no human can so
fix his mind on any special topic as
to avoid even for moment the Grant
thoughts that come and go, not only
without our volition, but in spite of
our most earnest efforts at mental ap-
plication.
He goes so far as to maintain that
nobody but a monomaniac can think
of one subject continuously for FIVE
minutes and even believes that the
ability to do so is one evidence of
something wrong in the upper story.
II once heard the subject discussed
by party Of intelligent men. and one
of the number was so confident of his
ability to think Of one subject an in
definite length Of time that he reused
his opponents to the point Of making a
test.
If you can repeat the Lords Prayer
and then declare upon your word OF
honor that you have not thought Of
anything else while doing it, I'll make
