The HALEY Comet.

For several evenings the citizens OF
Williston have been seeing a comet
in the west near where the sun sets
and it was supposed to be the much
talked of HALEY comet, but scientists
say differently. Garrett p. Serviss, one
of the leading scientists, in discuss
ing the subject in the New York Amer
ican says:
The statement that Halley's comet
has been seen already with the naked
eye by an astronomer Connected with
Columbia observatory will be noted
With surprise by those who have been
following the history of the comets
approach to the earth and sun.
It had not been expected to be-
come visible in this way for several
weeks yet, and If it has thus been
seen something must have occurred to
make it brighten with great rapidity
This is possible, because its increase
in brilliancy has for some time been
going on at a higher rate than cal
culation indicated. Very remarkable
fluctuations of brightness have also
been noted for several weeks back.
On Nov. 22the comet was OF the
tenth magnitude, and on November 30
it had sunk to the twelfth magni-
tude, or was six times les brilliant
than it was eight days before. If it
should continue to be capable OF such
changes when it gets nearer to the
sun it may give us still other sur
prises.
The position of the comet is now
in the constellation Aries, which is
high in the southwest at about 9
o'clock in the evening. It will con-
tinue moving westward, and at the

c. 0. D. LAW IS A
DISAPPOINTMENT
LIQUOR Shipments INTO NORTH OAK.
ARE NEARLY AS HEAVY AS Bt.
FORE LAW Was MADE.

Devils Lake N. D., Jan. 26.-That
the C. o. D. law is not having as great
an effect upon liquor shipments into
North Dakota as expected is the state
ment, according to those familiar with
the amount of the shipments. The G.
O. D. law while cutting out all ship
ments of liquor to fictitious names,
does not eliminate regular shipments
and these have greatly increased. 4.
The law is having a moral effect
however, which may tend toward de-
crease as it continues in operation.
There are many consumers of liquor In
North Dakota who are not particu-
larly anxious to have their names upon
the account books of the border brew
ing agencies, nor do they like the
idea of having shipments unloaded on
station platforms in their home town
with their names in full view upon
the consignment.
The law will tend to reduce ship
ments to that class, but otherwise 1t
is not believed that the law will have
the effect that it was at frs supposed
to that class, but otherwise it is not
believed that the law will have the
effect that it was at first supposed.

VALUE OF NORTH
DAKOTA LlCNITE
IT IS BECOMING MORE GENERALLY M-
PREClATED % SOME IMPORTANT
INVESTIGATIONS MADE.

The legislature at the session of
1909 enacted a law known as the
Mining Experiment Sub-Station" Sec.
1 of which act recites: I'm order to
promote the development of mining
interests, particularly with reference
to the best methods OF mining and
utilizing Ignite coal and clays." In
pursuance of this act, a building has
been erected at Hebron and machinery
and apparatus is now being installed
therein.
The work of this station is under
the direct charge of Prof. William
Blaine Snyder, who has had much i'm
portant experience in the coal mines
of Pennsylvania. The professor has
done more original work in testing lig-
mite coal than any other man in the
entire country, he is therefore well
qualified to speak concerning the lig-
mite found in this state. He says:
"A ton of North Dakota Ignite will
give just as good results as ton OF
average bituminous coal" He pro-
poses to demonstrate the truth of his
assertion, and he predicts that not a
ton of eastern coal will be burned in
this state three years hence.
These statements of Professor Snyd-
er fully confirm the advanced position
maintained by Prof. H. Bachelor OF
Fargo who has firmly maintained that
the Ignite of this state will, when
used by modern methods and appara-
tus, give as good, if not better, results

Report Not True.

The report current the first of the
week that w. A. Garrison was to dis
pose of his store here and engage in
the dry goods business at Minot is
not true. When seen about it Mr..
Garrison said: "That I have had a
very flattering proposition offered me
at Minot is true, but that 1 am going
to accept that proposition is untrue.
The Boston store, while not gold
mine, is entirely satisfactory from a
business standpoint and the future OF
Williston looks good to me-"

A big land sale was held at Lang

During the month of December the
following land sales were held and the
results are as noted:
Pembina county: 3,309.77 acres pur-
chase price $3S,757.25; average $11.75.
Griggs county: 7,s37.63 acres; pur-

Professor Bachelor SAYS that In ten

than the average bituminous coal.
Professor Bachelor says that In ten
years from the present time the entire
northwest win be drawing its coal
supply from this state, and the mines
will have an annual output Of at least
100, ,0o0, 900 tons, instead of some 300,.
900 tons as at the present time.
Professor Bachelor says 1t is
ridiculous for the schools to retain
books for the students to study which
contain such statement as that
found on page III of "A Text Book
of Commercial Geography" used in
the Fargo high school.
There is at the present time being
formed, a powerful combination among
the producers of bituminous coal, the
outcome of which will be an advance
in price of all qualities of that class
of coal. ....
The northwest country already
charged to the limit for the coal that
it burns, cannot and will not stand any
advance in the price It pays for fuel,
therefore it will burn North Dakota
coal.
Ignite when dried and properly
prepared for market Gall coal is pre-
pared before it is marketed) will give
most excellent results. The great de-
posits found in this state, will there
fore come into general use.

CLAWS IS FIRST
WITNESS CALLED
NAN WHO MADE CHARGES ON COAL
CLAIMS AGAINST BAIlNcER
CAllED-NC CROWD

Washington, Jan. 26.-The direct
maner in which the BallingerPinchot
congressional committee Of inquiry pro-
pose to deal with the work undertaken
was evidenced today in the summoning
OF Louis r. CLAWS as the first witness
TO- give testimony. CLAWS is the dis.
missed field agent who preferred the
charges against Secretary Ballinger by
means of interviews and signed ar.
ticles in various publications.
It was in connection with the pre-
paration of the CLAWS charges against
Ballinger that Clifford Pinchot was
drawn directly into the controversy.
Pinchot directed Associate Price and
Assistant Law Ohlcer Shaw of the for
estry bureau to assist CLAWS in franz
ing up the charges. These facts. pro-
claimed by Pinchot in letterfto Sem
ator Dolliver, together with the let
ter itself, led to the dismissal of Pin
chot, Price and Shaw from the for
estry service.
CLAWS being the man around whom
the greater part of the tempest has
turned his appearance on the witness
stand naturally tended to center in
terest in the inquiry from the very
start, and although the proceedings
we're not scheduled to start until 2:30,
the demand for seats in the big room
in the senate office building, where
the sessions are to be held, set in
early.

with the European consumer. That
would leave 10 II. 0.000, 900 bushels short
of the home demand. Result: Wheat
values would 60 to the skies were it
not for importations. All the bal
ance on hand 5s0.o0o,ooo bushels,
would rise as high as the
top of the tariff wall. OF course, II
1t should go higher importations would
fow in and bring it down. Now Is
cents a bushel upon 5oo.00o,ooo bushels
would mean an advance OF about $780,
600, 900 to the farmers Of the United
States. If we raise 100000 bush
els in this state it would mean $780,.
600, 900 additional wealth to the farm
ers of North Dakota each year on their
wheat crop alone.
II believe the time will shortly
come when organized farming inter
ests will be able to say to the consum-
ing interests. We have invested in
our lands so many dollars; our labor
costs us so much. The things we
must purchase are of such q value.
Now in order that We may make
reasonable return upon our investment
and reasonable compensation for our
individual labor, our wheat must bring
us in so much per bushel; our oats,
barley and corn such a price and we
will not sell for any less price. When
ever we once say that to the world
and are so organized that the world
knows that we mean what We say,
the world will come to our terms" !"
