FIND NEW USE FOR
DAKOTA L|GN|TE
RECENT EXPERIMENTS DEMON
STRATE ITS VALUE IN MAX
ING PRODUCER GAS.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 25.-That
North Dakota ignite viii be one of
the greatest of fuels used in making
gas seems TO be the conclusion
reached after important experiments
at the University OF North Dakota.
The results OF experiments in the pro
duction of producer gas are especially
encouraging. It Is calculated that
saving OF II per cent can be effected
by using Ignite in gas producer
plant over the use OF Ohio bituminous.
Inasmuch as Ignite Is the most val
liable fuel for the production of pro
Queer gas that has yet been found,
the future of the native coal seems
assured.
While the Ignite will make other
gas which Is satisfactory from light
ing standpoint there is one drawback
and that is the fact that the fixed car
bon which is left after the gas has
been produced connot be marketed.
n f. in the form of worthless pow
der In the case of soft coal the resi-
due sells for nearly enough to pay
one-third the total cost of producing
the gas Until some way is found to
make the byproduct useful the pro
duction of ordinary gas will not be
feasible.
Means More Manufacturing.
The result OF the discovery that lig-
mite makes the best and cheapest of
producer gas will probably bring man
ufacturing concerns TO western North
Dakota Large power plants will use
the waste Ignite products from the
western mines and convert these
wastes into electricity The electric
fluid will be transmitted to various
towns and can be used for lighting aud
manufacturing purposes
From the experiments it seems
probable that it VII be possible to
produce form of gas which can be
converted into power and which viii
mean a saving OF from rs to so per
cent Besides giving a ready market
to the coal products of western North
Dakota, this will mean a great saving
TO citizens. Cheap power manufac-
turers and new era Of prosperity
seems at hand.

Federal Point Raised.

The opinion of the court further
says respecting the federal point
raised, that the court leaves such
question undetermined and without in
tending to east any doubt whatever on
the validity of the law The same is
true as to whether the law infracts
the right of public assemblies and
consultation for the public good guar
anteed by the state constitution"
The opinion concludes: "A legisla
tiFe investigation regularly instituted
for the purpose of securing informa-
tion for legislative guidance is within
the domain of public purpose and gen
eral interest, as distinguished from
mere political party purpose and
interest, though it may have political
aspects and be dominated by members

Salvation Army Mission.

Captain ana Mrs. Withee, of the sal
Walton Army, wish TO ann, unce that,
through a misunderstanding ON their
part, an enrolment OF soldiers was III
nounced for sunday, Feb. 21st. Ihey
wish To say that this enrolment is post
poned until a later date and a different
program will be substituted in the sun
day evening meeting.
The meetings are continuing in in-
terest, especially the week end meet
ings of last week, when good crowds
attended both Saturday and sunday.
The campaign of visitation among
all classes is still going on, and the re-
lief work on behalf of the destitute Is
still being carried on. The report OF
all that had been accomplished up TO
to Dee 9th last, was read in last sun
days meetings and on Nednes day eve
ming of this week. The report showed
a total of l2I hours spent in visitation,
during which time 2a7 families were
visited and prayed with 264 people
were recipients of food at the hands OF
the officers who ARE in charge Of the
work. In addition to this, ia 9 NJ
ments were distributed, at a total our-
lay Of so, besides the garments which
were given To the army for distribution
among those in need. Twenty open
air meetings were conducted ia which
ia people took part, and A indoor
meetings, which together were attend
ed by 2,4s5 people with IA conversions.
The report is the record of six weeks
from November l4th to December nth,
1905. During this same period sz29.i0
was received by the officers, of which
S67.14 was spent in relief work, and rs
much more has been spent since--Just
how much will be accounted for III the
next quarterly report.
The entire expense Of the work, ex-
elusive of the relief expense, averages
less than so per week, including rents
of hall and the house in which the Of
ficers live, together with light, heat,
and salary ofCaptain and Mrs. Nithee.
The Captain and his wife feel that
this statement will appeal strongly 10
those who are interested in a successful
religious and charitable work, carried
on uuder the most economical lines
possible. Many Of the leading citizens
are interesting themselves in the sup
port and success Of the work, and Cap
tain and Mrs. Nithee are confident, Of
success in the highest possible IDean-
ing. The public Is cordially invited 10
all the services.

The Putnam Water Company have
regular analyses made OF the filtered
water at the Connecticut Chemical La
boratory at MiddIetown- That for re-
bYuary Is very little different from the
report we last printed. 1t would be
useless to give the full analysis. The
heavy rains last week that washed the
dirt into the pond riled the water, so
that on the 18th inst. the turbidity was
%. but soon fell TO 4--almost clear. IL
is the remarks Of the chemist that gives
a right comprehension of the quality OF
the water. They are as follows:
.These results, compared with those
of the raw water, show a removal OF
about 61.b per cent in color, Sis per
cent in turbidity, and n 3 per cent In
bacteria, com pairing the growth on
agar. The gelatin plates were entirely
liauelied on tine raw water samples.
The filters appe ar 10 be working very
well al this time and the quality OF the
water is entirely satisfactory for drink
ing purposes.
II must be highly gratifying TO our
citizens To know that their city Is Ia
vored above most cities and large towns
In having filtered water 10 use in album
dance. ii is also an advertisement to
the city that attracts persons desirable
To locate here. One other step In Inn
proyement Is needed to raise the health
full character of our city 10 the highest
pIane-which Is sewering. This Inn
proyement always goes with public
water, which Is an Indispensable aG-
junct.
