new Congregational:
Church At FLASHER

Flasher, Dec. 3.-The laying of the
corner stone of the First Congregation
al church of Flasher was observed
Sunday at II o'clock a. M, with an
appropriate ceremony. A goodly num-
Der was present although the day
was rather cold for an out door meet
ing.
The corner stone being entirely too
heavy to be lifted by hand was placed
on the day before.
There was placed into the box
COPY of the New Testament, "A Chris
ton Workers Manual" a copy OF the
ministers of the organization OF the
church, the names of the officers OF
the church, the names of the building
committee, the names of those VINO
have thus far subscribed to the
building fund, and copy OF the
Flasher Hustler, also some coins, one
bearing the date of the present year
and one having the date OF the or
,anization of the church. viz. 1903.
It is to be modern structure, seat
ng $50 people. A full basement is fit
ed for USE 1t is hoped that the sup
,rstructure may any how be enclosed
before a severe storm prevents con-
inued work on the building.

BILLINGS COUNTY
VOTE ILLEGAL?

Dickinson, Dec 3-The county iii
vision business in Billings dropped
few pegs on Monday when Judge Ed
ward Engerud of Fargo and Attorney
w. F.. Burnett of Dickinson visited
Medora, the county seat town, for the
purpose of obtaining facts in connee-
ton with the election on November
8, which they believe will easily throw
out the proposition.
There are several irregular and H.
legal acts in connection with the d.
vision vote in Billings county which
leading attorneys of the state say will
make the vote on this particular issue
null and void. Attorney Burnett, when
seen in his office in the Dakota Ma
tional bank building did not care to
state just the points Of attack, but
he assured the Press that it was a
strong case from his side and he said
it would bring out some very interest
ing points of law. One point which
is looked upon by many as being fatal
is the "blanket stickers," which were
used in the election.
The papers in the case will likely be
served early next week. The suit Will
probably come before Judge w. c.
Crawford early in January, perhaps at
the regular term of court at Medora
on the 10th of the month.
1t will be remembered that on the
face of the returns the Golden Valley
proposition was carried by majority
Of 81 and the Slope by 1876.
Last week the Beach papers thought
that Golden Valley, with full appoin-
tive set Of officers and Beach as the
county seat, would be doing business
by January !. However, there are a
large number of people in Billings
county who think that Governor Burke
will not be legally called upon to ap-
point county officers for Golden Val
ley or Slope counties for several years
yet. In the meantime new railroad
building may change things so that
other lines of division will be wanted.

The development of the gas produc-
er engines has brought to prominent
notice the value of North Dakota Goals
for the production of power gas. From
tests made at the state mining expert
ment station at Hebron, North Dakota,
it has been found that a ton of North
Dakota dry coal will yield $1,000 cubic
feet of gas.
This station is successfully making
briquettes from the coal by the adj
dition of nine per cent of pitch bin
der and tests have shown these bri-
quettes to possess about $4,000 b. t. H.,
of heat per pound as compared with
eastern anthracite which has 1880.
Mr.. Atkinson is fully convinced that
the day is not far distant when cen
trail power plants located at these
mines will furnish electrical energy
which will be transmitted over the
state for heat, light and power.
Of the clays of the state the speaker
referred to the fact that there are
all grades from the common brick to
clays from which the finest of earthen-
ware can be manufactured, and that
these clays are in large quantities
in many different parts of the state,
the finest of clays often being found
under a bed of coal and in nearly all
cases the Goals and clays are so near
together that the value of each is d..
HANGED.
The speaker believes that when the
northwest becomes more densely pop
ulated the clays will prove to be very
valuable, and that in addition to being
state of great agricultural possibili-
ties it also contains great wealth in
its coal and clay.

He states that one hundred to three

by the glacial streams which were
formed when the ice melted.
He stated that previous to the gla'
cial era, that part of the earth's sur
face now represented by North and
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
parts of Minnesota and Iowa was COW
cred by the sea and that the deposit
of sandstone from which comes the
artesian water of North and South Da-
kota was laid down in this sea by the
artesian action of the rivers emptying
into this sea and the action of the
sea currents spread it over the sea
bottom. The clays and shales were
similarly formed. Probably owing to
slight uplift of the earth surface at
different times the sea receded and
forests grew, then came depression
of the surface of the earth surface
and the forests were covered by the
sea and by the pressure Of mud and
water were changed to coal. These
periodical changes Of the earth's sur
face brought about the different layers
of coal which are formed to extend
over an area Of $4,000 square miles in
seams Of workable thickness, and it
is estimated by the United States geol-
ogical survey to have a total Of $780,
100000 tons, of which less than ;,
100000 tons has been mined, the an
nual production being around 375,000
tons. Over one hundred mines are in
operation and during the fall and win
ter season about 1000 men are en-
ployed in this industry.
Tho speaker referred to the Bad
Lands as being misjudged on account
Of the name applied, and that they are
really very valuable lands, not only
by reason Of their great store Of clays
and coal, but also for farming and
grazing.

Especial To The Tribune.)
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 3.


T. r. Atkinson, state engineer of
North Dakota, delivered an extremely
interesting lecture on the geology Of
North Dakota with especial reference
to the Goals and clays, their economic
value and the future possibilities Of
the coal and clay industry, before the
Academy Of Science and Letters this
evening. While not claiming to be a
geologist, the speaker showed by his
talk that he was thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the different formations Of
the earth's surface in his state. In his
work as state engineer he has the in
spection Of coal mines and has natur-
ally become interested in how the coal
beds Of North Dakota we're formed.
The speaker touched briefly upon
the geologic history of the Red river
valley, showing how the great contin-
entail ice sheet at one time covered
that part of North Dakota from the
northern part Of the United States to

SHEEP RANCHER
GOES TO FARMING

Richardton, Dec 3.-Peter Gress, al
old time sheep rancher of this place
has sold out the last of his sheep, anC
this year, as side line, he put some
of his land in crop. The result has
been SO satisfactory that he will never
have another large flock of sheep. He
ha marketed flax to the amount of
$4,000 and 81 500 worth of wheat, and
still has on his farm enough wheat and
flax to bring him $4,000 more, includ-
ing a lot Of fine seed wheat which
should bring more than market price.
This is a total of $4,000, aside from
his sheep business. and is probably
as much as he ever made in single
year from sheep.
Gress has large blowing outfit and
will have about thousand acres seed
ed next spring.

ENGINEER HAS
marrow ESCAPE

Haynes, Dec. "a painful accident
occurred to Engineer Koehler of Mar
marth as he was bringing his train
into Haynes. His orders were for a
clear track and when he had nearly
reached town he saw the electric head
light Of an engine standing on one
of the side tracks, thinking it was on
the main track and the light being so
bright appearing to be very near he
stepped out to investigate and stepped
on pice of coal, slipped and lost his
foothold. He caught onto bar on the
engine and was dragged along, his
feet and limbs striking the ties until
he was pulled in by the fireman. One
of his legs was broken and both were
badly mangled.

Where Women Propose.

In New Guinea 1t is considered
against the dignity OF the man to
even look at woman, and conse'
quently the women must make all the
proposals. If girl thinks she would
like to marry young man she senus
a piece of string to the sister or
mother of the man, and they ap'
proach him. If the girl breaks the
engagement the man may meet ana
beat her, and If he breaks it, her re-
lations may treat him the same. No
time is wasted in counting and they
must make up their minds at once.

Major league players frequently spend
FIVE hours a day batting and viii re-
