EXCITEMENT IN
WILTON IS HIGH
Several Arrests Made on Christina!
Day and the Day Before, and
One Man is Shot.

Deputy Sheriff Cotton and Pa
trol,nan Geo. Irvings had a time
last week trying to quiet two mi
ners, Jack and George Smith, coal
miners near Wilton. when they
wanted to rnn the town against
the wishes of the police force. IT.
wing was tackled by them and
thrown to the ground, as was also
Cotton. The latter drew a revolver
for self protection and shot a hole
in George Smiths arm, after which
the men, who were under the in
fluence of liquor, quieted down
and submitted to arrest.
They were placed under $500
bonds which they were not able to
raise, and were brought to the
county Jail to await their trial.
On Christmas day two men we're
arrested for Violating the prohib-
ition law and they too, are now
enjoying the hospitality of Sheriff
Holtan.
A diphtheria scare in Wilton
also helped to liven things in that
burg: All schools, churches and
hotels have been closed and it is
thought the disease is under con-
troll.

day evening of the death Of
Andrew Lindahl at the Bismarck
hospital on Sunday of cancer o1
the stomach. He was taken to
Bismarck about six weeks ago for

and the remains inferred in the
Catholic cemetery.
The following comment is taken
from the Tribune:
Andrew Lindahl of Washburn,
Mclean county, died Sunday at
the Bismarck hospital at a ripe old
age. of a complication of ailments.
Mr.. Lindahl was an old resident
of Mclean county and several Of
his old friends are in the city to
attend the funeral, which will be
held after the arrival of the 500
train today. Mr.. Lindahl was one
of the old Vikings whose sim
cerity and integrity won him some
staunch friends, although affected
for many years with constitution
al deafness. Messrs. Haugberg,
Satterlund,. Ole Wing and others,
were numbered among his warm
friends, and assisted in making
life as pleasant for him as possible.
True to him in life they will all
see that the last sad rites are prop.
erly given.

ssSSASSAAS AASs~.seeex9 49,
spection Of the mines as provided
by law. Jay w. Bliss. assistant Of
the state engineer, has made per-
sonal examinations Of about four
fifths Of the mines, and from the
mines already inspected it is
estimated that the total output for
1909 will be slightly less than for
1908. The output for 1909 will be
about 1886, 600 tons while the out
put for 1908 was $4,000 tons.
There are 1856 men employed in
the 96 coal mines now in operation.
Many of the mines only operate
during the fall and winter months.
It is generally known that North
Dakota contains large area of
workable veins of Ignite
coal, estimated at $4,000 square
miles, and an estimated total ton
age Of workable coal of five hun
dred billion tons. Thus far only
four million tons have been mined.
The beds are usually horizontal
and at 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
bituminious Goals contain from
eight to twenty per cent. Proper
ly burned, North Dakota Ignite
never clinkers. The fuel testing
department of the United States
geological survey located at Pitts
burg, is making extended investi-
cations into the problem of bri-
quoting Ignite, and Prof. Babcock
of our school of mines at Grand
Forks, is likewise making this
problem study and itseems quite
probable that within a short time
the man ufacture of BRIG quets from
our own Ignite will be a profitable
business.
The state engineers believes
that the most important method of
handling our Ignite coal and the
method which will prove extremely
profitable to North Dakota, is the
manufacture Of producer power
gas. The United States fuel test
ing department has made ex-
haustive tests with this Ignite in
the gas producer plants and sur
prisingly successful results have
been obtained. They have found
that North Dakota Ignite burned
in the gas producer will develop
more power than any of the eastern
bituminous Goals burned on the
CRATE. To develop one horse
power per hour by the steam
engine requires 4.49 lbs, Of
Virginia anthracite, and 3.97 lbs.
of Ohio bituminous, while one
horse power per hour can be OBJ
tained from only 2.29 lbs. Of North
Dakota Ignite when burned in
the gas produoey Assuming Ohio
sbituminous in North Dakota at $6
per ton and Ignite at s. per ton a
saving Of u per cent would be af-
fected by using Ignite in q gas
producer plant, over the use Of
Ohio bituminous in an ordinary
steam engine. However, the pro-
T., Z . III
position that will very likely be
the most practical for the future
use Of our Ignite is the burning
of this coal at the mines in the
gas producer and transmitting the,
power electrically to all parts Of the
state, furnishing power to light
our cities, for our manufacturers
and FOR elestric railroad lines CON
structed Tor the benefit Of the
people.

FARMERS HAVE
LOST MILLIONS

On Doekage During Last Few Years
Say Representatives on Grain
Commission.
The following letter has been
sent out by j. F, Clifford and 81.
o. Brown, North Dakota members
of the Minnesota Grain and Ware
house G Commission, and the facts
disclosed will be appreciated by
the farmers of this state:
Minneapolis, Dec. 81, '09.
Believing that the grain growers
ofour state Of North Dakota have
no idea or conception Of the
amount they are losing each year
on dockage, will say we find on
close investigation that the loss
each year amounts to the enormous
sum Of $l,3Oo,0oo, or 6,5oo,0oO for
the past five years:
These screenings are worth from
$l2 to $50 per ton at the terminal
markets. They are worth every
dollar as much where they are
grown. for feed purposes. Do not
forget the fact that you pay the
freight on these screenings and
deliver them to the terminals both
mills and elevators - absolutely
free Of charge to them, To move
these screenings to terminals would
require more than 5000 cars Of
thirty ton capacity, each year.
& The value Of this product, which
you have actually given away,
would have built college and a
school, at cost Of about 10000
each, within every county Of your
state in the last five years.
We consider the question Of
dockage a very grave matter to our
grain growers, and for this reason
are writing upon this question at
this time, hoping that this article
will give you some food for thought
along lines that in the near future
will greatly accrue to your benefit.
Every elevator in the state should
clean every bushel Of grain shipped
to terminal markets, thereby saving
dockage and also for the fact that
dirty grain in a great many cases
lower the grade one and some
times two grades. AS an illustra-
tion-of what can be done by the
proper handling of country ele-
vator, will give you a few facts for
your earnest consideration:
We will take for conside deration
an elevator handling 100 cars Of
wheat and fax per season. The
value ofthe screenings where the
grain is cleaned, and the profit to
be gained by reason Of being prop
erly cleaned, on better grades,
!. would be about So, 600, This would
pay every item Of expense in CON
nection with operating and main
tanning the elevator. This article
applies TO the grain growers ofour
own state and also to our sister
states Of South Dakota and Mime
sofa.
Another proposition Of vital and
far reaching importance to grain
growers, which We understand
will be taken up at the Tri-s State
Grain Growers meeting to Be held
sat Fargo next month, We wish to
I HsaJ 4 word. We believe that every
farmers and independent elevator
company of the grain growing
states of North and South Dakota
should hare at least one q more

To Clean Pillows

This is a task that most house,
keepers dread, but it can be done most
successfully without a great deal Of
hard work Select good bright day
for it, for sun, regardless of old su-
perstitions to the contrary, is the
best thing in the world for feathers.
Empty the feathers or down into bag
OF cheeseCloth, tie the mouth tightly
and wash In big tub of strong white
soap suds, with little ammonia add
ed, Rub the bag between the hands,
and dip up and down in the water for
10 Or Is minutes; rinse through two
clear hot waters and hang, without
squeezing, to drain, and dry in the
sun, or near heat. During the drying
process pull the bag apart several
times. When dry, place in larger
clean bag and whip well for 10 min
utes with rattan whip and you will
find your feathers like new, Then put
them back in clean ticks OF course
there is a slight loss to the feathers,
us StiIlt vi titIi iiliIt I'LL lDHS II illt IdEy
but the clean, fluff ones almost make
up in bplk for what has been lost in
the water. On account of what Sits
through the bag, never wash them in
set tubs as the fluff going through the
pipes may clog them in 6hree or four
places. A feather bed may be washed
IN the same way. OF course 1t is
troublesome, but we'll worth while.
Needless to say, the tick should be
thoroughly washed to be in readiness
FOR the feathers when dry. A hot fat
iron we'll coated with beeswax and
then run over the inside Of pillow and
bed ticks keeps the filing from wash
ing through. If you don't wish to wash
your feathers, it is great help to
them to let them get wet in summer
