NEW PROCESS
Improved Methods of Briquetting
Ignite Discovered and Will be
Given Careful Trial by North
Dakota Agricultural College.

-. #.s. ..'. "
L E. Soule. formerly Of, Lisbon. N.
D., but now makinsthis home in Min
neapolis, stated to the Forum that he
has perfected a process by which Ignite
coal can be briquetted in a practical
manner with less binder than by any
other process which has 90 far been
invented.
Nh. Soule also stated that he has
been able to make a fine quality of
briquettes from binders which have
been condemned by the government and
that he expects to incorporate a company
under the laws of South Dakota and
operate a plant in North Dakota from
Ignite Of this state next SPRING. He
stated that he was not in Fargo for the
purpose Of boosting on financing his
process but was there simply on personal
business, but gave the Forum some idea
of the new process which he fully expects
to be very successful.
MY system is a little different from
anything that has been used in this
country said Mr.. Soule, ''instead of
giving the mixture of Ignite and binder
one pressure as is given with the ordin-
airy machine. the charge of the" substance
is forced through the bore of a tube.
This bore is constantly decreasing in
size and as the mixture is being rammed
through a great pressure is given and a
better ~briquette is the result"
This system is practical because it
requires much less power than that re-
quired in the other machines and the
btrilquette can be made with much less
handling"
Mr.. Soule stated that he can make 400
tons of briquettes per day with these
machines and that he considered it
practical in every way. He visited the
agricultural college. where a thorough
test of Ignite and briquetting is being
made and his system will be tried out
at that inspection.
Prof. E. S. Keen, under whose super
vision the tests are being made, said
this morning that he considered Mr..
Soule's system one of the most practical
which he has seen and stated that it
would be tried at the institution to find
out its value.
lone thing which Mr.. Soule's system
gives, from what / known of it at the
present, is a good briquette at less
handling and formed with less power
than anything Ihave so far SEEM" said
Professor Keene. II am greatly i'm
pressed with the system and from wha1
can learn it is along the lines of thu
system which is used in Germany will
kssuch great success ~
&As to binders. the government has
made very few experiments in the
ssbriquettine of North Dakota Ignite and
the failures of these binders may be
because they have not been tried with
the product of this state. We intend to
take all the process from the beginning
and carry them through with the same
attention paidto details as if there have
been no tests made and by this method
we expect to arrive at a definite con-
clusion as to the p%racticability of
briqueting.

ELYTON STARTS ON
 TRAILER CRUSADE

Elyton and the Powderly car line will form a central point of interest today. Last week the Elyton board of aldermen adopted ordinances requiring the Brming- ham Railway, Light and Power company to attach trailers to their cars during rush hours. Mayor Frank Smith signed the ordinances immediately upon their adop- tion and has announced that the enforce ment of them would be started today.
 The street car company has not de- clared itself in regard to the action it will take At present it hasn't a loop along the line where 1t could turn around with the trailers. It has a switch near Pow derly, however, it is pointed out, in which the trailer could be dropped going down and picked up on the return The Elyton authorities, it is understood, will insist that this be done until loop can be built by the company.
 In order to make the ordinances suf- ficiently strong three separate and dis tinct ones were adopted They provide for the fining of the motormen and con- ductor from S1 to $100 for running car during rush hours without trailer, the fining of the company and the annulling of the franchise.

 Boy Saturday Night.

Little Nathan Goldstein, the 10-year-old son of D. P. Goldstein, is in a critical condition as the result of being hit on the head by a rock thrown at him by a negro boy Saturday The affair happened near the corner of Seventh avenue and seventeenth street and young GoIdstein was rendered unconscious by the blow.
 He was removed to his home, where pr H. Swedlaw waited upon him. Later Dr. D. T. Glass was called in and a con sultation held. It was not until last night that he recovered consciousness and then he talked incoherently. While his condi- tion is extremely serious the physicians are of the opinion that he will recover.

the true ring, but they should bring coT viction to every veteran and every Son of veteran.
 My friends will find me not on,y at work to defeat the amendment, but they will find me on the firing line from now until the close of the polls on November 29. I can understand how self-see<ing politicians might deceive the unwary but 1t is hard to believe that men of mature experience can be drawn into a political scheme which would bode only evil for Alabama This proposed amendment Is a real menace to the state, and I am con- strained to think that many voters who are now supporting the amendment cause will yet see their error and cast their ballots against it. The freemen of Ala bama are aroused as they have not been aroused since reconstruction days and the amendment will be beat: but I pray that the majority against it will be of landslide magnitude.
