FIND COAL At JAMESTOWN.
Now Mining Experts Say Entire coun

Jamestown.-Great excitement pre-
walls here since the discovery of a
deep vein Of coal in the hills north of
the city. From tests which have been
made it is believed the entire coun-
try for three miles is underlaid with a
fine grade Of coal finer than Ignite.
The discovery of coal was first made
on the Berks farm when the owner
was boring for we'll. He quietly
made Investigations in the vicinity and
purchased all the available land that
was for sale.

PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE.
Alleged Slayer Of Grace Burn. Said to
Have Brother Working on Case.

Fargo-1f the statement of those in
a position to know is correct, a brother
OF Charles McCartney's has been in
this city for the past few days, and
although his mission here was unan-
nounced, 1t is generally conceded that
work has been started, right at the
scene of the crime, on the defense of
the young fellow who is now held in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, following his conviction of rob-
berry of a mail sack at the N. p, sta
ton in this city.
Working on the quiet, on informa-
ton furnished by the alleged murderer
OF the little girl, it is conceded that
no little amount of work could be done.
This is substantiated by the fact that
Charles Mccartney is aware of the
fact that he will have to stand trial
and further from the report from the
federal penitentiary that he has al
ready started work on his defense.

Wrong Boundary Lines oauss confu.
sion Ii Assessmsnt-Nackenxle
Loses Three Townships.

Bismarck-An error has been dis.
covered in the state map that has
been distributed recently and It IL
liable to cause some confusion re.
garding the assessment Of property
and the payment of taxes in Dunn and
Mckenzie counties.
There is also liable to be some
trouble regarding legal papers that
have been served since the map was
published.
AS far as can be learned the fol-
lowing are the particulars as to how
the error crept in:
The petition for the organization
OF Dunn county described the east
boundary of the county as following
the range line between ranges 80 and
81 to the channel of the Missouri
river; thence up the channel Of the
Missouri river to the point where the
range line between ranges SO and
"a intersects said channel; thence
south along said range line to the
18th standard parallel. 1t is evident
that the petitioners described the
boundary from a map which was not
correct. State Engineer Atkinson is
authority for the statement that the
range line between SO and "a does
not touch the Missouri river until
after it crosses the 18th standard par
allel. The map published by the
state agricultural department shows
this range line to cross the river in
township $50, whereas it really cross
es the river in township 153. The
river on the incorrect map being six
miles west of its true location through
townships $50, ISL and 152. 1t is
evident that Mckenzie county will
lose nearly three townships of land
bordering on the river by this error.

Order Of North Dakota Supreme Court
In Enforcing Maximum Rate Law
10 Set Aside by Highest
Tribunal In Land.

Fargo-North Dakota doesn't get
that reduced rate on Ignite coal-not
light OF.
The u. s. supreme court has grant.
ed writ of supersedeas and error and
the old rates will remain effective till
the final determination of the case.
When this will be is problematical.
Several months ago Attorney Gen.
eral McCue started the action to com
pei the railroads to comply with the
maximum Ignite coal rate law en-
acted by the legislature of 1907. The
roads resisted but the state officials
won out before the supreme court,
which held the law valid.
The railroads announced an appeal
to the U. s. supreme court and asked
writ Of supersedeas and error, which
was denied by state court and the
new rates were ordered enforced.
This phase was carried up to the U. S.
supreme court. which decided favor
ably to the roads.
II the attorney general makes q
request the case will be advanced on
the regular calendar and it is pos
sible to hear the matter in December.
1t is understood that Attorney General
Miller, some weeks ago, requested for
mer Attorney General McCue to con-
tinue in charge of the case.
The decision of the U. S. supreme
court is a disappointment, as Fargo
ans were anticipating the advantages
of the cheaper rates on Ignite.

Principal Happenings Of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

The Swedish academy. by vote Of
to 8. has declared itself in favor Of
modifying the reformed spelling,
which has been used in the public
schools since 1906.
June sixth, the one-hundredth ami.
versary of the adoption of the swed-
ish constitution, was fittingly cele-
brated in many Swedish cities, and by
some Swedish colonies in foreign
cities.
A number of teachers at Swedish
gymnasiums are going to Greece this
summer to make archaeological state
studies. Their leader is to be John
Bergman, noted historian. The
party will stop at Olympia, Mycena.
Tyrius and Athens.
1t is proposed to make radical
change of the sewer system of Stock
holm. Several pumping stations will
be needed and the sewage will be car
ried far out into the sea. The cost Of
the improvements will be about ST..
100000.
A balloon which assembled at Stock.
holm, landed near Lappo, in the
wilds of Finland, 10h hours later,
having covered a distance of about
$40 (English) miles. Only Firms
lived in the neighborhood, and the
aeronants do not understand Finnish.
Finally two men were found who had
been In America, and the English Ian
guage helped the strangers out of tho
difficulty.
A German named Grossmann gave
an exhibition on water skis at Stock
holm, and many people came to the
lake shore to see the performance
though they had to pay an admission
fee of &c. Mr.. Grossman did we'll. But
all of sudden a Swede named A.
Zetterstrom also appeared on skis
made by himself, and the German was
evidently perplexed. But he soon con-
cluded that peace would serve him
better than war, and so he received
the competitor with politeness. The
two shook hands and divided the hon
ors between them.
Now that the Social Democratic
labor unions are losing ground in
some Of their strongholds, the en-
ployers who have been dealing with
them are encouraged to speak more
freely. In many cases employers who
got into trouble with the labor unions
prevented their men from striking by
paying certain sums Of money to the
leading officers of the labor unions.
An employer in Malmo has published
receipts showing that he has paid
$135 to avert boycott against him.
and the files of the organ of the labor
organization show that at the same
time it was officially announced that
the man who paid the money was "in
good standing"
