Drake News: The 500 road has
them all put IN the clear when it
comes down to big engines. One of
them goes through here every morn
ing.
This engine has five acres Of CRATE
bars, four acres Of netting In the
smoke box and it takes man q day
and half to walk through the cylin-
ders. Every time the engine exhausts
it rains for 20 minutes afterwards.
There is an elevator that goes to the
headlight to hoist the oil as 1t re-
quires five gallons to fill it. It takes
two men As minutes to light one sig
nal lamp.
The engineer has an X-ray to
watch for signals. After running for
six months he goes blind. It takes
two astronomers with a powerful
telescope to see her going, and the
glare of the headlight can be seen
through a hill one mile thick. It took
nine carpenters four months to build
the pilot.
They use a steam shovel to give
her coal. The pony wheels are as
large as an ordinary turntable. The
crew holds a picnic In the frebox
every summer.

GAME COMMISSIONERS PLAN
Will Have 80 or 40 Paid Game War
dens in the Field by September -
sooners and VioIators .of. the Law
Will Be Brought to Justiee--Duck
and Chicken Season Opens Sept. z.

Minot, N. D., May. 5.-"The organi-
cation of the state fish and game COM
mission will tend ~ make 1t more DIFF
ficult for pot hunters and sooners to
violate the law" said J. B. Eaton OF
Fargo, following the adjournment OF
the meeting there of the state board:
"By September we expect to have
thirty or forty salaried game wardens
over the state. No one will know
who they are and they will be able
to keep track of violators of the game
laws in better shape than has ever
been done before. The open season
for chickens and ducks is Sept. T., and
by our system the tendency will be
to have everyone postpone hunting
until the opening day.
1T will work this way: If true
sportsman knows that someone in his
vicinity is shooting chickens before it
is lawful, he can write t. the nearest
known game warden telling the facts.
He will not be exposed but he viii
send man into the vicinity to inves-
tigate. This man can follow the man
who Is suspected and he can be ar
rested in the act A few arrests like
this in each community will have the
effect Of stopping sooners."
The new commission completed ar
rangements for organization. The next
meeting will be for the purpose of
considering the building Of the fish
hatchery.

the report of J. F. Brodie of the Con-
solidated Coal Co.. who returned Sun
day from Pittsburg where the tests
are in progrLss.
"The government has number Of
German machinists and coal experts
operating the machine, said Mr..
Brodie, land when we opened the car
mine the old fellow in charge ex-
claimed, All, das Use gude.' And II
turned out that the North Dakota coal
Is practically the same as that In
Germany and other European coun.
tries where briquetting is the whole
thing.
"The machinery used in making the
tests turns out six tons OF briquettes
an hour. A plant for briquetting 200
tons per day would cost at present
something like $4,000 and perhaps
more. The machine is patented in this
country but the rights run out about
the first Of the year and after thai
the chances are the machines can be
duplicated for considerably less.
believe the state will take up the mat
ter OF briquetting this coal first and
probably later it will be turned over to
local concerns"
Briquetting coal means taking the
water out of it and moulding it into Q
shape considerably like brick, onl,
smaller. In this form it is clean and
convenient to handle and it is said tc
be the finest fuel for domestic use
ever discovered. When briquetting
plants are established In this country
every grocery store will be in the coa7

will be carrying along q quarters

When Lewis and Clark made their
trip from the Mississippi valley to the
Pacific coast, they tried to follow the
lines OF the least resistance by way of
the Missouri river to It's headwaters,
thence over the Rocky mountains by
tae last trails known to the native
indians; To- the headwaters OF the
Etsreams that are tributaries to the
Columbia river; thence down the
Clearwater and Snake rivers to the

The Northern Pacific railway, In Its
original plans, contemplated a line

range. which was built, and also q
line down the Columbia river about
where the new Spokane, Portland &
