MUST NOT MUT!LATE MONEY

Manufacturing jewellers and makers
of high class novelties in gold have
been notified by the federal authori-
ties that the practice of converting
gold and silver coins into ornaments
and selling them at a profit, is a vio-
lation of federal law, and must
cease. Not only the manufacturing
jewelers., but also the retail jewelers.
are affected. The order is general and
is issued from the Washington office.
1T seems that the jewelers. have bees
in the habit Of making one side of
the coin smooth SO as to engrave a
monogram or other design on it, while
the other side remains the same as
when it left the mint. The order
came as the result of a conference
Of federal attorneys, assembled from
severael of the large cities and called
at the request of the secret service
authorities. At this conference it was
decided. inst cad of commenting legal
proceedings to quietly notify the jew
elers that the practice must stop.

and Prof. Babcock of our school IF
mines at Grand Forks, Is likewise
making this problem study and it
seems quite probable that within a
short time the manufacture Of bri-
profitable business.
The state engineer believes that
the most important method Of hand
ling our Ignite coal and the method
which will prove extremely profitable
to North Dakota, Is the manufac ture
of producer power gas. The United
States fuel testing department has
made exhaustive tests with this lig-
mite in the gas producer plants and
surprisingly successful results have
been obtained. They have found that
gas producer will develop more power
than any of the eastern bituminous
Goals burned on the CRATE. To de-
velop one horse power per hour by the
steam engine requires 4.46 lbs, Of
Virginia anthracite, and 397 lbs. of
Ohio bituminous, while one horse
power per hour can be obtained from
only 229 lbs. of North Dakota Ignite
when r-urned in the gas producer.
Assuming Ohio bituminous in North
Dakota at Sc per ton and ignite at
SO per ton a saving of II per cent
would be affected by using lignite
in a gas producer plant, over the use
of Ohio btuminous in an ordinary
steam engine. However, the PROPOSE
ton that will very likely be the most
practical for the future use of our lig-
mite is the burning of this coal at the
mines in the gas producer and trans
uniting the power electrically to all
parts of the state, furnishing power to
light OUR cities, for our manufacturers

of the rails of Henry Wizards North

Mr.. Kellogg was there-an active
business man. AS the rails were eX-
tended westward, he kept pace until
he found himself at Glendive, Mont.
Thirteen years ago he decided to To-

the cattle business southeast of Sonti-
mel Butte but he soon become convinc-
ed that the future of this section lay
with the farmers, rather than the
ranchers, and accordingly he took up
a homestead adjoining the townsite
of Sentinel Butte, proving up and liv-
ing there nine years. Four years ago
he saw a chance to do something in
the neighborhood Of the Beach Sec

MENT is MADE.
Output Of 1909 Will Be Slightly Less
Than for 1908 - Tribune Man Civ
en- Resume Of Full Report.

The state engineer, who is ex.offi.
clio state coal mine inspector, has
been actively engaged during the past
two months making an annual inspec-
ton of the mines as provided by law.
Jay w. Bliss, assistant of the state
engineer, has made personal exami-
nations of about four-tifths Of the
mines, and from the mines already
lnspe cted it Is estimated that the to-
ral output for 1909 will be slightly
less than for 1908 The outpu. for
1909 will be about $4,000 tons while
the output for 1908 was $4,000 tons.
There are S35 men employed in the
Sc coal mines now in operation. Many
of the mines only operate during the
fall and winter months.
1t is generally known that North
Dakota contains large area Of work
able veins of Ignite coal, estimated
at $4,000 square miles, and an esti-
mated total tonnage of workable coal
of five hundred billion tons. Thus far
only four million tons have been min.
ed. The beds are usually horizontal
and at a depth of from fifty to two
hundred feet beneath the surface.
Our Ignite coal is exceptionally free
from sulphur, which is so common in
the eastern bituminous Goals, and it
contains only eight per cent of ash.
while eastern bituminous Goals con-
tain from eight to twenty per cent.

the doctor showed him his journals and
observations. The captain knows a good
deal about astronomy and everything ap-
peared to him to be correct.
Captain Schoubye declares he has no
doubt whatever that Or. Cook reached

SPECIAL AUTO ROADS
Provided for in = Bill Before the
British Parliament.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-According to
Consul General John L. Griff1th's report
the increased use of motor cars in
Great Britain. has played havoc with
the surface of the roadways, and il is
now suggested that the speeding au-
tomobiles be given roads to them
selves. This is provided for in a bill
now before parliament.
The British people are said to be in
sympathy with the plan. The use of
the motor car has increased so greatly
in the last decade that it has become
not only detriment to public prop
erty in certain. ways, but menace to
life as we'll.
are Being badly cut by motor cars that
pass over them at a high rate OF
speed,' says Mr.. Griffith, the value OF
adjoining property is often appreciably
lessered the comfort and convenience
of those using other means of locomo-
ton are seriously interfered with and
their safety often endangered"
The remedy proposed by the measure
under consideration is the creation OF
system of roads for the use of motor
cars exclusively. These roads are to be
governed by a small board of five or
seven members, only one of whom, the
chairman or vice chairman, shall re-
ceive a salary The board will not only
govern the system as built, but will be
empowered e add to the mileage when
ever it sees fit
Once these roads are completed, ordi
nary highways will not be permitted t.
join them except by special permission.
The government likewise will wash its
hands of the motorists and permit them
to indulge their speed mania to their
hearts content. The speed limit will be
taken off.
1.-The construction of separate roads
for motorists will doubtless meet with
general favor" says Mr.. Griffith, ''bc-
cause of the urgency of the situation.
Though it is admitted it is radical
departure to employ public funds, even
in part, for the use and benefit of a

EXPLOSION OF GAS.
Fire Company Called to Independent
Telephone Co., Building.

The fire department was kept busy
Sunday night answering calls. There
were three alarms sent in, the first of
which was from the Office of the In
dependent Telephone company, where
at 7:45 O'Clock a gas explosion took
place The result of this explosion is
that Fred Cook, night wire chief. is
now at the Bethesda hospital SUFFERING
from burns sustained about the head
and on his hands. The injuries are
not of a serious nature but painful in
the extreme. Mr.. Cook is resting
fairly comfortable today after salts
factory night.
The, cause of the explosion was the
leaking of gasoline from the engine in
the basement of the building. A pc
culiar odor was detected by Mr.. Cook
and he went downstairs to investigate.
Just inside the door of the engine
room there was a gas jet which burns
constantly. AS Cook entered the
room on account of the excessive
fumes of the gasoline an explosion
took place, which made the whole
building tremble and shattered the
windows in the vicinity of the ex-
plosion. The engine room became a
mass of flames. but the fire depart
ment soon had them under control
was stunned by the explosion.
Remarkable order was kept in the
operators room. At first the girls
made a rush for the stairway as the
door to the operators room was
blown in, but discipline was soon re-
stored. The damage to the building
aside from the breaking of windows
was slight
The next important fire on the list
was at 312 East Fourth street. The
fire department arrived in time to save
five horses in the barn belonging to
Councilman ]. j. Lannan and to pre-
vent the barn from going to complete
destruction. The damage is estimated
at $50. No cause has been suggested
for the fire.
Another alarm was turned in be-
tween II and 12 o'clock. This time
some grass was burning in the Ken
wood addition, and fire alarm was
not necessary in this case.

THE KANSAS LAW
Not Aztec ed at All by the Ne
braSka Decision.
Nebraska Guaranty Law Failed
Because Compulsory.
OUR LAW VOLUNTARY
Bryan Advocated Compulsory
Guaranty of Deposits.
Bank Comm ssion0r DOlley Dis
cussQs Nebraska Decision.

The federal court of Nebraska has
permanently enjoired the banking
board of that state from the en-
forcement of the bank guaranty law
passed by the Nebraska legislature
last winter. The court held that the
law is violation of Sec. of the four
teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution.
This decision. however, has no ap-
plication at all to the Kansas guaran-
ty law, now being tested in the fed
eral court of this state.
The Nebraska federal judges, in
killing the Nebraska law, held that
the right to do business is personal
and inherent right and not fran
chise. That a banking business is not
unlike the business of grocer or a
dry goods merchant. Therefore a
compulsory guaranty law attempted
by the state would be unconstitu-
tional.
Now the Kansas law is not COM
pulsory at all, but voluntary. The
state banks have the privilege or
joining the guaranty association or
issue in the courts over the Kansas
law is the prevention of the enforce
ment of the law at all by the state Of
ficials, even as regards the banks that
apply for admission of their own ae:
cord. The difference in the points of
law involved is marked.
The Oklahoma guaranty law is
likely to be affected by the Nebraska
decision, but not the Kansas law.
When the guaranty law was up for
discussion in the legislature last win
ter, the Democratic idea was to make
it compulsory, like the Oklahoma law,
but Speaker Dolley and the other ad-
ministration leaders opposed that
plan as impracticable and dangerous,
and drafted a law along the lines of
the Repu blican state platform.
The law is being bitterly assailed by
the national bankers of the state in de-
Tense of their own interests since they
were denied admission to its benefits.
The state bankers of Kansas have
generally come forward to the support
of the guaranty idea and are Joining
the association.
Judge Pollock of the federal court
ity of the Kansas law, but the Ne
braska decision will have not the
slightest bearing on this case, but rath-
er serves to emphasize the strong point
of the Kansas law, which is it's volun-
tary provision.
Speaking today of the Nebraska de-
cision, Bank Commissioner Dolley said:
No one expected the compulsory clause
of the Nebraska law to Withstand the
test Of the courts and the Kansas leg
islature. in passing the Kansas law,
was careful to avoid the mistakes of
the Oklahoma law. Compulsory guar
anty was Bryan's idea advocated in all
his speeches last summer. All the
Democrats in the Kansas legislature
last winter voted for the compulsory
amendment to the law as introduced
by Mr.. Foley of Rice county. We stand
pat for the voluntary idea as promul-
gated in our state platform, and / be-
ieve that our law will successfully
meet the tests of the courts and with |
stand the assaults of the national bank |
