some time that afternoon, and on
returning about 4 o'clock found Mr..
Kampschror dead in the yard with
25-35 rifle between his legs and
hole blown in his head. The rifle
belonged to the brothers, and had
been taken from their cabin.
Coroner Stewart was called as
soon as possible and held an inquest
at the place, the jury bringing in
verdict OF suicide from causes un-
known.
The body was brought to this city
Saturday by Coroner Stewart. A
brother of the deceased, John
Kampschror, farming on Thirteen
Mile creek, was notified and came in
at once. He. departed this week
with the body for the old home Of
the brothers at Cashton, Wis.
The deceased was but q years Of
age and had given no prernonition
Of his intended fatal step.

The non-partisan mass convention
Of electors which met at the Court
House last Friday evening comfortably
filled the assembly room. It proved to
be as non partisan as its name implied
for there were present prominent
democrats, republicans, populists, un-
ion men and socialists.
A little after $50, G. G. Hurley
called the meeting to order and asked
for nominations for chairman. F. P.
Leiper was placed in nomination and
unanimously seated as chairman Of
the meeting, as was J. Ell. Palmer
for the office Of secretary.
Nominations were then called for
mayor. T. T. Hagan was placed in
nomination and named by acclama-
tion. Mr.. Hagan thanked the gentle
men present in few Well-chosen
words.
G. A. Banker was nominated for
city treasurer and G. N. Burdick en-
dorsed for police magistrate, q recent

ting power, as applied to officers OF

Mr.. Burdick's class, out of the hands
Of conventions.
Before selecting candidates for
aldermen from Wards | and 2, the
delegation present was divided into
two bodies, representing each ward,
which selected their own candidates.
When the names of nominees were
asked for by Chairman Leiper, it was
found that e. S. Herrick for Ward
and A. A. Baker for Ward 2 were
the unanimous nominees Of the re-
spective delegations.
Before concluding the meeting, a
central committee composed Of Frank
Hughes, Ed. Berry, Henry Dion, G.
c. Hurley and T. L. Scare was named.
Then adjournment was taken a little
after 9 p. m.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout and all work speedily
rushed through. The candidates, being
first in the field, will have canvas
sing advantage that will be a very
great benefit when city election day
rolls around.

that By the way, rebounds to the
credit Of this city.

Haxby and Gillispie, the architects
who are drafting plans for the
structure. Besides furnishing plans
North Dakota will contribute the
| lions share of the building material,
the white pressed brick of Hebron
being named in the Specifications,
The church, it is estimated, will
cost between SIS, 900 and S25, 900.
Mr.. Lindsay's life has been init

New Regulations By Secretary

The Secretary of the Interior has
just issued the following regulations
which are OF Importance to settlers
on the Reclamation Service projects:
/. Reclamation Of lands entered
subject to the provisions Of the Re-
clamation Act: To establish COM
pliance with the clause Of the Re
clamation Act that requires reclama-
ton Of at least one-half of the irri-
gable area OF All entry made, made
subject to the provisions Of the Act,
entrymen will be required to make
proof showing that the land has been
cleared Of sagebrush or other lncum-
brance and leveled; that sufficient
slaterals have been constructed TO
provide for the irrigation Of the re-
quired area; that the land has been
put IN proper condition and has been
watered and cultivated and that at
least one satisfactory crop has been
raised thereon.
2. Reclamation OF lands in private
ownership: The express purpose OF
the Reclamation Act is TO secure the
reclamation OF arid or semi-arid
lands and to render them produc-
tive, and section 5 declares that the
right to the use OF the water acquir-
ed under this Act shall be appurte-
nant to the land irrigated and that
beneficial use shall be the basis, the
measure and the limit Of the right.
There can be no beneficial use Of
water for irrigation until it is actual
" applied TO reclamation OF the
land. The final and only conclusive
test Of reclamation Is production.
This does not necessarily mean the
maturing OF a crop.
The requirement as to reclama-
ton imposed upor lands under home
stead entries shall therefore be inn
posed likewise upon lands in private
ownership, namely, that the land
owner shall reclaim at least one
half Of the total irrigable area OF
his land for agricultural purposes,
and no right to the use Of water for
agricultural purposes. and no right

An industry has recently arisen in
C1endiye and vicinity that is the
forar,1nner of a commerce that means
more than words can express to the
nresent residents and the prospective
new settlers of this great section. In
brief. this is the Ignite coal industry,
short mention of which has hereto
fore been made several times in the
columns of the Monitor. The past
winter, more than ever before, the
hauling of Ignite coal to city homes
has assumed proportions that are not
to be disregarded, even at this early
dav. The large Snyder mine near the
city and several smaller properties
located at various distances from Glen
dive, have furnished an immense
amount of this splendid fuel.
The Snyder mine, the best develop
ed in this vicinity, is located about
eight miles out Of the city. The vein
is an 8-foot one and is Of the very
best quality of Ignite. Four cars are
now used in transporting the coal from
the main entry, which has been driven
to distance of 700 feet At the pres
ent time the capacity is about thirty
tons daily, and it can be easily in
creased to 40 tons as occasion requires.
Entirely modern machinery is used,
includinga air compressor, air tanks
and gasoline engine. There is fuel in
sight here which will last long time
into the future. .... -"-.
To former settlers on the treeless
prairies of the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Kansas, and other similar states, the
value of these great coal deposits is
more apparent than to those who have
been fortunate enough to have always
lived in we'll timbered regions, or sec
tlons underlaid with good qualities
of anthracite and bituminous coal.
Personal investigation has demon
strated that practically every corner
OF this great county has some of these
ignite coal seams. Volcanic action,
taulting and other geological agencies
have served to obliterate immediate
traces Of these veins at many points,
but the work Of the pick and shovel is
all that is usually necessary to un-
cover the latent energy stored up in
the form of Ignite coal.
Millions of years ago, before man
was even future prospect on the
earth,s surface, Nature was busily
engaged in the processes which have
furnished US at this day with these
great coal beds. The semi tropical
plants Of the coal age, luxurious in
'Nelr vegetation, were slowly conver-
'ea by submergenee under water into
state which rendered them easily
convertible into strata of what We
no" know as Ignite coal. The whole
process was probably somewhat SINH
lar to what we now know as Cooking,
at gas factories, except that during
''ie course of conforming, an age
was required to complete what is now
performed by modern ingenuity with.
IN a few hours. At places in these
N0"i seams may now be picked Out

sues which they had when they were
submerged and subjected to great
pressure.

to have played an important part in
metamorphosing them. Faults, OF
sudden breaks in strata, resulting in
peculiar "tiltings'' or uplifts of veins,
are common. One was noticed east
Of the Yellowstone, a short distance
south of Newton, which had been tilt
ed to remarkable angle. This vein
of coal is one Of the best in the vicin-
ity.
Hundreds upon hundreds Of new
homesteaders are confidently ex-
pected to enter the borders Of our
county this present season. Many dis
tricts carry little or no available TIM
Der, so that the veins of coal right at
home as it were, will be a veritable
Godsend. Besides domestic uses, it
will be valuable for power in pump
ing water, steam breakers, and in
some cases even for generating elec-
tricity. Those who are most generous
ly favored by Nature with fine veins
Of Ignite will find ready sale for it
among their less favored neighbors.
This fact should be forcibly impressed
upon your eastern friends who are
contemplating coming to Dawson
county. And the Ignite coal is only
one of our valuable natural resources,
others of which will probably be treat
ed Of in later papers. Tell them that
you do not ask them to take your word
for it, but simply refer to reports Of
the United States Geological Survey,
state university authorities and others.
Comments Of men who know have
lately convinced us that the manufac-
ture Of gas from these coal beds will
be another Industry of great impor-
tance in the near future. Lighting
and heating systems could be installed,
not only for Glendive, but for many
others of the coming towns Of the
county. Any persons who know what
deposits of natural gas have done for
other communities, will readily real
ize the scope which this industry
would possess. Deposits Of petroleum
or crude oil are not improbable. Flu
ture borings will probably hasten these
discoveries. Should such be found, the
Standard Oil Company could probably
be induced to leave few OF it's mil
lions in Dawson county, for general
circulation among our citizens.
Briquetting experiments, having
for their object the transformation Of
Ignite into fuel suitable for locono-
tives, have made considerable progress
through the progressiveness of the
various railroad companies in furnish
ing capital for experiments. When
the success of these methods is as
sured, it will mean many more thou
sands of dollars in the pockets. Of our
citizens. With the right inducement,
the proper authorities might be per-
suaded to establish plant for the
making Of briquettes, either at Glen
dive or in the immediate vicinity. Al
| together the outlook is 50 hopeful for
the future Of our coal and other car
boniferous deposits that there is nc
doubt they will be great drawing
card in the future settling up Of the
county What has been done for other
sections can as easily be done for this,
especially when one considers the fine
class of new settlers who have decided
upon Dawson county as a place 81
residence.
