TO INVESTIGATE
Ignite COAL
STATE EXPERIMENT STATION AT
HEBRON WILL Be PUT IN OPER-
ALTON JAN. l.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct o.
Prof. w. B. Snyder arrived in
Grand Forks yesterday after
spending the past few months on
trip through the eastern mining
districts during which time he had
picked up a great deal of infor-
nation that will be put to practi-
cal benefit in the operation of the
North Dakota institution and will
leave this evening for that point
to assume his new duties.
The state experiment plant at
that point will be put in operation
by Jan. 1 if the present plans
materialize, and it is confidently
expected that a great deal of i'm
portant work will be accomplished.
The object of the establishment of
the station is the investigation of
the value of North Dakota Ignite
coal and to determine the best
manner in which it can be utilized.
Professor Snyder believes that
North Dakota's station will be one
of the most complete plants of it's
kind IN the United States. The
outlay for the station is $4,000,
which was provided for by an ap-
preparation of the last state
Legislative assembly.
1t is not a generally known fact,
but North Dakota has one-fifth of
the total fuel deposits of the
United States. The question is to
place that fuel in such form that
it shall be available for use and to
this the extensive research work
of the Hebron station was de-
cided upon.
Briquetting is one method by
which it is believed the Ignite
coal will become available for use,
and work along the line of deter
mining what can be done in that
branch will be carried on exten-
sively. Also the value Of the
Ignite coal, in producing gas will
be thoroughly investigated.

BALLINCER ON
ANXIOUS SEAT
IS AFRAID PHOSPHATE AND COAL
WILL BE SEIZED BY
M0NOP0LlES.

San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 70
Secretary of the Interior Richard
A. Ballinger has issued a state
ment declaring that the disposi-
tion of the phosphate lands of the
Rocky mountain states presents
emergencies calling for legislation.
He says:
All the known areas of phos-
phate lands in the public domain
are now under temporary reserva-
tion awaiting congressional action.
Common prudence demands that
this fertilizer be disposed of with
such restrictions as will require
its domestic use, as far as possible,
in the renewal of fertility of the
American farm, rather than per-
NIT of its exportation.'
Respecting coal lands he says:
''Since 1909, no coal land entries
have been permitted to be made
in Alaska, pending requests upon
congress for. legislation to pre-
vent the monopolization of the
vast field of this valuable deposit
lying in this territory and to Sc
cure authority for permanent res
ervation for naval purposes. Too
much cannot be said in favor of
legislation which will prevent the
absorption of the valuable coal de-
posits by private interests with
the design of monopolization."

CUDAHY FIRM ADMITS GUILT
Confesses COIored OIeOmarERrine was
Put on Market without Payment
of Tax-EmplOye Blamed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Cudahy
Packing company Of Omaha has pleaded
guilty to c~oloring oleomargarine and plac-
ing the same on the market without the
formality of paying the 10 cents per pound
tex which is prescribed by law for that
product into which extraneous coloring
matter has been introduced.
Michael Cudahy, president Of the concern,
has notified the secretary OF the treasury
and the attorney general, i'm whose hands
is a matter of an $50. 100 assessment, and
also several indictments found by the
grand Jury at Omaha, that the culprit
responsible for the colorlng of Cudahy
oleomargarine which the internal revenue
officials seized has been discovered and
dismissed. In his zeal over making a
creditable business showing for himself and
the company the employee, It is said, allowed
the celored product to go forth without
the necessary tax being paid.
The Cudahy officials are exerting great
energy to have the amount OF their assess
ment reduced and are trying to stave off
II possible the criminal prosecutions which
are threatened.

THE RIGHT PROCEDURE.

Kansas City has the right idea OF
what should be done in the premises
in the matter of water transportation
and is putting it into effect in direct
and practical way Without waiting
longer for river improvement by the
general government, it has organized
a company which will establish line
of boats on the Missouri river and
construct terminals so that freight can
be handled cheaply and expditiously.
1t is proposed to raise s1,00o,000
by subscription in order to en-
sure the success of the enterprise. The
Times of that city outlines the scheme
as follows:
This enterprise is SO organized and
directed as to make investment in Its
stock as safe as it is possible to make
an investment. The undertaking is
wholly different from previous Mis-
souri, river movements. In the first
place the subscriptions will be con.
firmed only when they aggregate l.
100000 or more And think what a
million or more will mean as back
ing for . proposition OF this kind!
ut is not proposed merely to build a
few boats and establish a boat line.
The plans are vastly larger than such
restricted purposes would contem-
plate. It is proposed to bring about a
wide and general use of the Missouri
river for the benefit it will bring to
Kansas City and to all of the Mis-
souri, valley. Kansas City means tc
! show its faith in the rivers possible
| ties by not only putting boats on the
| stream at this time, but also by es
| tablishing terminal facilities on q
! scale that will meet the Enlargement
| of the rivers traffic with the improve
ment of the channel by aid of the gov
eminent or through other agencies
These terminal facilities will be oper
to all who want to use them, whether
shippers or operators of private boats
They will be standing invitations tt
get into the river business. And while
these general plans are of primar,
consideration, the company is so or
gained and so managed that It's owl
investment in boats will practically BIZ
made on absolute assurance of profit
able business for the boats ordered
and the number of carriers Will be in
| creased only as the demonstrations O
success increase the demand 70
them"
Kansas City is going about the mat
ter in the right way. Not only vii
the enterprise prove of great value t
it and to the Missouri valley in lesser
ed cost of transportation, but such a
/ evidence of faith in the rivers possibil
ties will go far to bring about the end
sought by the deep waterways NOV,

WORK For SCHOOL BOYS.

Ella Flagg Young, Chicago's new
school superintendent, has made an
arrangement with certain manufacture
ers whereby fifty boys from a particu-
lar school will spend half their time
in the factory working for wages and
the other half in the school. whose
course includes manual training. The
boys will work alternate weeks, so
that the same number will constantly
be employed in the factories. If the
experiment succeeds it will be ex-
tended Freeport adopted similar
plan some time ago and made a great
success of it. The advantages of the
arrangement are thus briefly but
clearly stated by the Dubuque Times
Journal.
"a system under which the boy may
simultaneously acquire mental 1isci.
pine and working knowledge of a
profitable manual occupation seems
IDEAL. 1t means the rational demand
of the normal boy for something to do
whereby he can train his hands and at
the same time make money without
surrendering his intellectual ambition
1t enables him to put to profitable use
every hour not required for sleep or
rational recreation. 1t should lead him
to acquire habits of industry most i'm.
portant to success and happiness
There is great opportunity for this
plan in New York, where 10000 school
children lack accommodations. Many
of them could be accommodated if the
n1dar y1f,yi1c hn apn1Ound for
half the day outside the schools.

According to. the British Medical
Journal, between a and 5 per cent OF
medical students die, and nearly 3S
per cent sooner or later conclude that
the work is too laborious and take to
some other career after wasting
great deal of time, money and energy.
Between six and seven years is the
average, and the expense of obtaining
the legal qualifications to practice
must be put down as not less than
$4,000. Nevertheless, the number OF
medical men has increased in the last
twenty years at a greater rate than
the population while simultaneously
the amount of remunerative work
which any given population of 1000
persons affords has diminished, owing
to the general improvement in the
public health and other causes. There
fore medical mon find 1t more diff
fcult than formerly to make an ade-
1uate living.

The Diamond 10 Boats.

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
Next Thursday, September 80, will
mark the close of the navigation sea-
son for the Diamond 10 line on this
section of the river. After Thursday
Burlington will see no more Diamond
10 boats until next season. The
steamer Dubuque will make several
trips between st. Louis and Keokuk
before laying UP for the winter. 1t is
difficult to understand the reason for
this shortening of the upper river sea-
son by the Diamond 10 line. There is
a large freight traffic on the Mississ-
ippi river between st. Louis and Bur
lington. This traffic might be quad
rupled in volume in the course of two
or three seasons by judicious admins
/ tration. The Blair boats are all carry.
! ing an immense tonnage at present,
and it is fair to assume that they will
keep it UP until driven to the shore by
the ice. The Diamond 10 boats could
do the same if they would remain In
the trade. Come to think about it.
| there is no good reason why steamers
should not navigate the upper river
| all the year round. In many of the
regions of Northern Europe the boats
do not lay up at all but keep at 1t
steadily all the year. Ice breakers are
used and the channel kept open. If
/ steamers would operate this way on
! the Mississippi it would not be long
until they would develop tonnage
that would cause the railroads to sit
up and take notice.

The mean temperature of different
parts of Iowa during the month of
August is graphically shown by a
chart published as part of the Iowa
weather and crop service report. Here
at Keokuk the average temperature of
the month was So At Burlington 1t
was rs; at Davenport 76 and at the
northeastern corner of the state only
"a. Few people would have supposed
that the comparatively small differ
ence in latitude would have made so
much difference in TEN eerature. The
prevailing winds during the month
here and throughout the state gener-
ally were from the south. A peculiar
fact disclosed by the chart is that it
was as warm at Sioux City as at Bur
lington, while the temperature in the
northwestern corner of the state was
no lower than that at Davenport.
Truly, the wind bloweth where it list
eth, and carries the heat waves with
it.

THE GROWTH OF STATE POWER

The startling growth of state power
in recent years is discussed by Dr.
Hannis Taylor in the current number
of the North American Review. The
writer declares that when we look the
facts in the face, when we measure by
standards that do not deceive the
startling growth of state power, local
and national, that has taken place IN
the last fifty years, and then couple
with it the manifest tendency to carry
it further still, we cannot deceive our
selves as to the actual conditions that
confront the nation as a whole. Con-
tinuing, he says:
I'VE have returned to a time when
the prying eye of the government fol-
lows the butcher to the shambles and
the baker to the oven'-a time of col
lectivism in which the dependent indi-
vidual looks to the state for protection
through the methods of orderly CO.
operation which modern legislation is
seeking to enforce. During the period
that divides Jefferson from Lincoln a
transformation has taken place in our
internal economic conditions, whose
>~eAASS liz ~ Y 4 - OiGSl ttiO
proposition upon which Jefferson's 20
litical theories were founded Just as
he and his followers demanded that
governmental power should be limited
to the greatest possible extent, and
that the circle of individual rights sur
rounding the citizen should be widen
ed to the greatest possible extent, a
majority of the American people, incld-
ing those who still profess to follow
Jefferson, are now demanding that
governmental power, state and feder-
al, shall be so widened, even at the
sacrifice of individual rights, as to pro-
tect them against the incorporated bat
talions the new collectivism is hurting
against them Will proof of that as
sertion be demanded by any one famil-
lar with the recent records of con
gress, of the state legislatures and of
the courts wherein the people are
striving, through the exercise of extra
ordinary state power, to restore the
equilibrium of American society,""

The Iowa, Apple Crop.

Keosauqua Republican: Iowa's APP
pie crop for this season does not seem
to be very evenly distributed. Down
in this section there were more fall
apples than there was demand for
and in the extreme western part OF
the state thousands Of bushels OF
wind-fallen apples we're fed to the
hogs or rotted on the ground. But up
in Jasper county, which borders Polk
county on the east, the orchards were
SO barren that at the fair at Newton
a few weeks ago there were not half a
bushel of apples on exhibition, SO a
man from that county told us few
days ago.

WHEN ROOSEVELT COMES BACK.


When Roosevelt comes back and
makes it known that he is in sympa-
thy with President Taft and is salts
fed with the course the latter is pur-
suing the Creston Advertiser wonders
what the politicians who have traded
on the exPresident's popularity and
are now so out Of sympathy with the
administration will do. The Advertiser
has not the slightest doubt that Roose-
welt will make, known in the plainest
terms his endorsement of the admins
tration. It recalls that there IS very
warm bond of friendship between
Roosevelt and Taft and that the nonli-
nation of the latter was due in large
measure to the fact that Roosevelt
was for him. The Advertiser goes on
to say:
Roosevelt has not the reputation of
a man who deserts his friends, even
aside from the fact that apart from
the considerations of friendship the
administration will meet with his ap-
prevail, and those who believe or pre-
tend to believe that he will oppose a
second term for Taft are displaying a
lack of intelligence that would do
credit to the most optimistic Demo
cratic rainbow chasers of this genera
ton. 1t will be interestin~ to watch
the actions of those who have traded
on Roosevelt's popularity during the
rast few years and who are now abb
solutely hostile to the Taft admins
tration when Roosevelt takes his
stand for Taft"
