DEVELOPMENT OF
n. D. COAL FIELDS
MOVEMENT ON AT ,aINoT Tc
BOYCOTT EASTERN COAL AND
USE NONE" PRODUCT.

Minoc, NJ. ID, Feb. s.--while there is
much agitation abroad in the land over
meat boycott, northwestern North
Dakota ls figuring out a little boycott
of it's own. 1t is harmless in motive
and has for It's end the development
of the vast Ignite fields which cover an
area of 10000 square miles, estimated
to contain 100000 tons.
One Of the chief spokesman for the
movement is X. r. Leighton Of Minot.
who has given the matter great deal
of study He maintains that IL North
Dakota were to use Ignite exclusive
| ly, 1t would mean a saving over what
is now paid for The costlier anthracite
of the eastern mines OF at least So
100000 annually and give employment
at the mines to at least 5000 men,
where now only 96 miles of mines are
in operation, employing only S35 men,
and mining annually only about $780,
900 tons. ....
Can't Supply Demands.
Mr.. Leighton in discussing the mat
ter says: #~., .s
TT is not altogether the fault OF
the people at large that we do not use
I ~
part IL is due to the inability of the
mines to supply the demand and also
in a large measure due to the ignor-
ance Of the people both az to the coal
and the method of using 1t. The rail-
roads of the state also come in for a
measure Of reproof in the fact that
lthey have not been very careful In sup
plying cars for the transportation oil
coal during the busy season of the
year. The long haul from Dulu.f
means addional freight and the return
OF the cars used in shipping coal filled
with wheat. This is much in evidence
in the suit now in progress before tht
United States supreme court, WHERE
the railroads are doing all in their pow,
er to knock out the minimum Goa
freight law passed few years ago il
this state. Should this law be sus
tanned II would mccn a still create
reduction of the fuel bill of North Da
kota, and an. added interest in the pro
duction Of Ignite coal. The rate es
tablished by this law is a higher rat
than that on eastern road for hauling
coal, yet the roads of this state CLAIM
that ii is confiscatory. In his talks t
the farmers OF North Dakota I hav
heard Mr.. Hill mention the coal rat
case.
TT il remarks BILE that in a stat
where the fuel bill is one of the great
est Of household expenses, we thin
SO little OF the cost, and make so it'll
effort to reduce the expense. 1t is SAT
to say tina. not one family in ten ha
ever made any comparisons. The diff
: ference in cost over eastern fuel i
the average family is from 25 to
+, per cent, and when tho fuel bill run
, from 500 up the saving is very mate
? rial.
!. "The state could do NO better tina
i start campaign for the consumptio
of home fuel as against the too fire.
S quent use of the eastern produce. TIL
s. saving Of the state of 100000 yesrl
is certainly worth an effort in tha
direction. IT means in round number
saving Of $40 yearly for each per
son in the state"

Thompson retires to distant Texas in

Hon w. e. Purcell to the senatorial
toga is announced. For a week both
Governor John Burke and Mr.. Thomp-

even contemplated. The Fargo Forum,
which first preached this political gos-
sip. was roundfy condemned as a
journal of fantastic fabrication. 1t is
the special delight of a disSruntled
faction of the state press to thus label
the worthy Forum. In this notable
instance The Forum has the satisfac-
ton of casting the lie ir teeth of its

his boyhood home and disappeared, was
drawn by Miss Sarah e. Amy at the
Russell identity hearing this morning.
The description of the missing heir
as it was given by his cousin was very
different from the stalwart ranchman
who sat within the bar enclosure.
Miss Almy, under cross examination
by Attorney Simpson, reiterated her
charge that the claimant is an imposrer,
unlike the heir physically and mental

BURKE COUNTY IS

SUPREME COURT HOLDS WARD
COUNTY MUST BE CUT UP
AGAIN. RENVILLE coUN-
TY SHUT OUT.

Bismarck, N. d. Feb. 9.-Burke
county is organized from the north
west corner Of Ward county and Bow
bells will probably be the county seat.
Renville county, proposed to be or
ganized from the northwest corner of
Ward county is knocked out. This
is the effect of a decision of the
supreme court in the Burke and Rem
Vile county appeals, handed down yes
terday. Both propositions were voted
on at the last general election in Ware
county, at the same time the Noun
trail county proposition was voted o
and carried.
On the face of the returns boil
Burke and Renville county proposi
tons were defeated but action wa
brought to compel the throwing out o
great share of the vote in the town
of Kenmare which was heavily
against both propositions on The
ground that. there was no registration
of voters as the law required anG
while at the primaries there were 207
votes cast in Kenmare at the fab cleo.

BY Small Majority.
The supreme courts holds that the
| 2O7 voters who voted at the primaries
and were therefore. registered de facto
should be counted. The other votes arr
not counted. Making allowances fol
all the adverse votes cast on both pro.
positions, the court finds from th'
election returns, deducting the illega
votes in Kenmare. that Burke county
is organized by small majority. Rem
yille county is defeated because there

The organization of Burke count!
will probably make Bowbells the coun'

both propositions arises out of tbs
rivalry between the various towns anC
the fact that in the event of the or.
ganization of Renville county, Mohall
would probably have been the count,

How often do you
eat this foOd7

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one OF the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
Agood many people were surprised
70 find oatmeal placed at the top Of the
list of foods recommended; but il the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see FIRST place given to
good oatmeal.
AS matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come TO us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because ii
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in favor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeaIs.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. SIS

Churchs Ferry Sun: The Fargo
Forum is entitled to al. the credit for
working the best Newspaper scoop"
in the state for years. Last week The
Forum stated that Senator Thompson
had resigned and that Col Purcell
would be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Many of the state papers denounced
the story as a pipe dream" of The
Forum, but this week the pipe dream
was verified when Senator Purcell was
sworn in Whether The Forum is
closer to the states executive than the
democratic dailies or has a more active

Over-Eatlng Worse
Than Starvation
Seven Deaths Arise From This Cause
To One Of Lack Of Food.
A Trial Package Of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

Tablets Sent Free.
An English medical observer claims
that for one death to starvation there
are seven from over eating.
His investigation is appalling and
leads one to believe that among the
Anglo Saxon race over-eating Is a ma
ttionaI crime.
This investigation proves over-eat-
ing to be the cause in ten cases out
Of twelve Of dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach trouble
These diseases bring on decay and
decline of the other organs and death
ensues because of an inability OF the
system to furnish proper nourisnment
to the dying and afflicted parts.
When one over eats. one eUhausts
the gastric fluids, throws undigested
food into the intestines where 1t Gre
atss poison and germ life and Is finally
absorbed in a putrid state or thrown
from the system in a decaying form.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over
come the i'll effects of gluttony and
irregular eating. They will digest an
abnormal amount of food and will not
leave the stomach until everything has
been digested.
A single one-grain ingredient OF
these tablets will digest 5000 grains of
food and in this proportion is seen how
even gluttony can be overcome or at
least it's most harmful effects removed,
Make up your mind to try Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take
a tablet after each meal and upon re-
firing at night. Every druggist car
ries them in stock; price soc. If you
have a druggist friend ask his opinion
Send us your name and address and
we will send you a trial package free
