Ignite COAL LANDS.

While we are dealing with the
subject of conservation, it is a mat
ter of interest that Congressman
Gronna is seeking to have the title
to local lands" in this state, which
are held by the government, vested
absolutely in the settlers who may
have filed or will file on lands con-
tanning Ignite COAL. We do not quite
agree with the statement that these
are worthless" coal lands. They
have some value as coal bearing
properties, but from the immense
veins of Ignite, spread out over so
much of the territory in the westel
part of this state, it would be mani
testify unfair to the state to exclude
settlers from this land or to fail to
give them a legal title. Homestead
ers need a title to their lands in or
der to borrow money for the purpos-
es of improvement. Few aomestead-
ers are independent financially. Not
infrequently, all of their resources
are used in proving up on their lands,
and it is necessary for them to make
loans to continue their farm work.
All this is in the best interests of
the development of the state and any
other policy of the government would
set back the advancement of North
Dakota to a marked degree.
Now the too ardent conservation
lists might say that the government
ought never to surrender title to any
coal lands, as this Ignite area is
composed of. But the fact remains
that the lands having traces of lig-
mite are mostly valuable for agricul.
tural purposes. The coal is largely
a local product for local consumption.
Thousands. of acres of this coal land
will not be touched in a generation
with a miners pick or prospec-
tors drill. Its value as fuel land Is
largely speculative. If it is far from
a railroad, or has only thin vein of
coal, it is of little workable value.
So the policy Of the government
should be for the best good of the
state and the settlers, and not with
visionary reference to the: inter-
ests of our great grand children.
AS the. Tribune stated the other
day, this matter Of conservation il
one that must be gone at with. some
practical sense and reason. We
should not waste or give away :valu-
able properties Neither, should: we

HOW THE FARMER TAKES HIGH
PRICES.

Kansas City correspondent Of New
York Evening Post: 1t is a curious
fact that there is as much unrest and
dissatisfaction with price conditions
in the Middle West as anywhere in
the country. In every hotel, in the
smoking rooms OF the cars, and in
the Offices where a few months ago
the conversation turned inevitably to
land, now it turns to the high price
of products and the cost U, living.
This occurs despite the farmers ia
vorable position, selling everything
price and feeling little cost of tur-
chased articles-which, in fact, are
mostly things that have changed lit
tie. The meat and -four and poultry
products come from the farm. But
the farmer complains and sees many
things that are wrong, and the wes-
tern towns which depend on the
farmer for their sustenance show as
much feeling on the subject as those
where manufacturing is the chief
support.
The farmer has two angles to his
view. One is that of the apparently
great profits of the central exchanges
and markets, which prevent him from
getting more for his products. The
other is his belief that if there is
nothing to disturb conditions, he will
get yet higher prices for his wheat.
II am not a bull, but I believe the
wheat in the farmers hands will 60
higher before the next crop comes"
This was the comment, Of the agent
of Minnesota milling firm who has
travelled through the wheat belt:
1.-The farmer, dominates thessituation
to degree never before known, and
the effect of the present feeling is to
steady his hand 1i1as, however, is
my personal view; and there are
others who disagree with me. They
believe that with the preseht feeling
in the country over high cost Of -liv-
ing there will be 2 determined effort
to keep prices within reason and that
