Our Coal Fields

At last, it seems, something is going
to be done about it. Uncle Sam has
long been getting bulletins from the
School OF Mines, University of North
Dakota, telling about the States wealth
in coal, clay, and gas, especially clay.
And at least Uncle Sam sits up and
takes notice. Last week Prof. E. J.
Babcock, head of the School of Mines,
received communication from the
United States Fuel Testing Depart
ment, asking him at once to arrange
for the shipment of ten carloads of lig-
mite coal from various sections of the
State. The Ignite is to be shipped
direct to headquarters for the purpose
of testing for briquetting in the Gov
ernment's newly installed plant. This
plant has been imported from Bel
gium, the home of briquetting, and it
comes as very pleasing recognition
of N orth: Dakota and of Prof Babcock
to have the test made of our own lig-
mite among the very first. If the test
proves successful, as many believe ii
will be, who can predict wha: great
things it means for this State!

Grand Success
The Old Settlers Annual
Ball and Meeting the Lar9-
est Held in Years. Nearly
One Hundred Couples Pre-
sent.

With each succeeding year the
Old Settlers Annual Dance and
meeting becomes more and more
of interest to the pioneers and the
fifteenth annual meeting held at
the opera house last Friday even
ing surpassed any held in recent
years, in point Of attendance and
royal good time. Something like
81 dance tickets were issued.
The dance, as is the custom on
these occasions, was conducted
in the old pioneer day style and
all the old dances of the by-gone
days was the feature of the even
ing. The evening belonged to
the pioneers and the younger
crowd was compelled to take a
back seat and give away to the
older people. At promptly 9
o'clock the orchestra struck up
the grand march and from that
time until 4:3O o'clock the next
morning the dance continued,
without the usual, now a-days,
fifteen minutes intermission be-
tween dances. The old quadrille
was much in evidence and was
greatly enjoyed by the dancers
and the way some of those old
pioneers buckled into the dance
carried ones mind back to the
early 80's, before Hope had its
present opera house, when all
the big dances were held in the
old Hope House, when they used
to dance twelve and thirteen sets
and the people would come from
a radius of twenty miles and
when it was no uncommon occur.
ance to have anywhere from one
hundred to one hundred and
twenty five couples in attendance.
The supper was served by
Mrs. Stark in the dining room OF
the Woodmen hall and from every
source comes complimentary re.
marks as to the fine spread and
the able manner in which this
part of the affair was handled.
After supper took place the
annual business meeting and
election of officers for the ensu
ing year, which resulted in the
