NORTH DAKOTA Ignite


The state of North Dakota has more
tons Of coal than any other in the
union. In The Technical World Maya
zine for March there is an article
headed-New Billions in Public Lands
from which the following is taken:
The United States government has
been for three years quietly classify
ing Its public lands TO determine
what Of value they contained and. to
the general surprise, has discovered
a wealth that amounts into such fig
ures as to be no less than appalling.
On the despised lands of the west
the government experts have I'M
earrhed coal fields that compare IA
Forably with the richest ever found
IN the east, They bring back reports
that make necessary a redrafting of
the coal maps of the nation and up-
set entirely the current idea of the
location OF the nations fuel gupply.
Nothing tells the story so graphically
as the new schedules setting forth
the amounts Of coal contained in the
states that produce most of it. A list
of the nine states containing most
coal and their estimated tonnage fol-
lows:

NATURAL GAS.

Fargo seems to be outside the gas
belt. but the people are watching the
developments in other parts Of the
state with a great deal OF interest.
At present Westhope is the center of
activity, although Lansford is a close
second. Strong gas wells are report
ed in other sections Of the state.
The developments around EdEeIey
are being watched with more interest
locally. Some months ago there was
lot Of talk about the matter. but
the man behind the promotion scheme
had his money so tied UP in other en-
terprises he could not begin develop
ment work as early as intended. He
is now ready to begin and it is re-
ported the machinery is being shipped
into Edgeley now.
Fargo is open for any kind of a
proposition by which oil or gas can
be piped here.

THEATRICAL BUSINESS.

This season has been a hard one
for the theatrical business. Hundreds
Of small companies have been forced
to quit the road and only the greater
attractions are able to stand the
pace. So many managers have gone
broke that the prospects are even
worse for next year.
There are two explanations offered
for the falling off in the attendance.
One Is that so many people have pur-
chased autos they are forced to
economic along other lines to meet
their payments and concluded they
could have more real amusement out
of the machines than by attending
theatres. Another class, less FORUM
ately situated, found living expenses
so high that they concluded to cut out
the shows. AS a result business fell
down and the lighter attractions were
hit so hard they couldn't keep on the
road
The result has been a big boost for
the vaudeville business. A man can
take his whole family to a vaudeville
performance for the price of one ticket
to large theatrical attraction.
Many of the show people have gone
into vaudeville and the supply is fully
equal to the demand. One of the OBJ
jectionable results has been flooding
the vaudeville stage with insane and
uninteresting playlets. The managers
and patrons are both protesting
against these and may eliminate
some of the more worthless ones.
There are so many that almost every
vaudeville bill is encountered with one
or two.
Fargo has the vaudeville fever
about as hard as any town in the
country. There are two vaudeville
shows in operation all the time and
two other combination vaudeville and
motion picture shows. Besides these
the orpheum is reported to be headed
this way.

WOMAN FOR GOVERNOR.

The proclamation of this new entry
into the lists political was sounded
from the far distant Sierra noun
tains.
Mrs. Kicker has been sojourning In
California, whittier she betook her
self some time ago from the rigors OF
New HaSnpshire's Indictment winter
Within the next few days she will

she can persuade enough Of the mas

woman in the United states to pre-
sent herself At the polls on election

This was In 1870. she il a woman
both OF means and OF ideas, and the
oncreeping frosts have not chilled the
reformer's ardor OF enthusiasm.
II Is said that suffrage leaders from
New York and Boston win rally "a
her standard in the approaching fight
The battle cry Of her campaign will
bel Taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny."-and the ringing ap-
peal which it makes to revolutionary
traditions ought to prove effective in
New England.
At the polls some time ago Mrs.
Kicker hade this protest. Said she:
Without having a vote to protect my
property, / hereby protest against the
injustice OF being compelled to pay
taxes"
Plymouth Rock, listen!
On another occasion, when she made
an able constitutional argument be-
fore the selectmen Of Dover, she
launched this telling shot:
AS long as women are hanged I'M
der the laws they should have a voice
in making them"
Whatever may be the result of the
approaching contest in New Hanp-
shire between the derbies and the
bonnets-it is quite evident that the
plumed lady OF the frocked battalions
is no ordinary daughter of Eve.
