city has been under consideration and
careful tests have been made at diff
ferent points of the clay or shale
with which it is intended to make
brick. The tests have been satis-
factory in ever way and 20 acres of
land, about one and half miles
north of the city, near the river, have
been purchased from B. T. Young
and easements retained for access to
the land at any point.
A meeting of the directors of the

is o. A.. Meltz of Norfolk, Ohio, an
experienced brick maker. He is al
ready here and looking after pre-
liminary work to start up the plant.
The shale is very easy of access, be-
ing found in great quantities near the
river bank. Tests show it will make
a fine hard, handsome brick. A dry

expected that the manufacture and
sale Of this brick will he an important
industry here in the near future.
! The work of pushing this enter
prise has devolved upon Mr.. Shelde,
the contractor, who has interested To-
cal capital in the proposition. Prof.

stone will be necessary to complete

taken in this auspicious beginning,
The church during the services was
crowded to it's utmost capacity, many
coming from the country to be pres

when the proceeds were counted for

ranging from IS to $50 by the loyal
members of the, church as first of

COAL NINE ON FIRE

At Shaffer, in Mckenzie county,
North Dakota, vein of coal twenty
feet thick exposed on the steep clay
bank of Seven Mile creek, near the
city and aggregating at least half a
million tons of Ignite coal and possi-
bly, many millions of tons, is burning
like an inferno, and will likely contin-
ue to burn until it burns itself out.
Several weeks ago number of farm
ers while digging out some coal for
their own use, built fire to boil
some coffee for their dinner. Not
taking care afterwards to extinguish
the fire, it spread by means of scat
tered pieces of coal to the vein it.
self. 1t has been burning ever since
and has been gaining rapid headway
and has developed into an enormous
furnace, sending up dense clouds Of
smoke.
Sparks from the blazing coal set
fire to the dry grass some distance
away, starting. prairie fire which
extended over the country for. miles.
The farmers, with the aid of the
people of Schafer, turned out to fight
the fire and succeeded in heading it
of before an serious damage had
been done, and as the nearby terri
tory has now been burned over, it
is not likely that any further harm
can be done by the blazing coal mine.

time of the meeting of the educational
association at Mlnot last winter.

Mr.. Taylor stated to a reporter
that he would use his best efforts to
lift the Office to which he aspires out
of politics and he hoped that any of
the papers that might see fit to sup
port him in his candidacy would de-
sist from any "mud-slinging" and he
hoped the campaign could be conduct
ed along clean lines.
Mr.. Taylor has neither the time
nor the money to make an extensive
campaign and will leave the matter
up to his friends. His becoming
candidate was solely on account of
the large number of friends among
the teachers and school men of the
state and from many residents en-
gagged in other lines of pursuit.
