woman, with whom he has been living
for several months. committed the
deed and then took his own life.
The woman's throat was cut from
ear to ear with a razor, and so violent
was the sweep of the weapon in the
hands of Quamme, that the woman's
head was nearly severed from her body,
and the edge of the z vas broken
off by contact with The vertebrae Of the
neck.
Quamme then stood before the mirror
in the bureau in the bedroom. picked up
aoother razor that lay on the bureau,
and cut his own throat, severinG both
jugelars and half turning and falling on
the same bed with the woman. Both
bodies were found by another resident
of the underworld, who had been
summoned by a third occupant of the
house, who foresaw trouble when
Quamme came to the house shortly be-
fore midnight and began to threaten
and abuse the Fox woman.
The bedroom was a shambles when
the officers of the law arrived at the
place in response to a summons. Both
bodies were taken in charge by Coroner

LINEN FROM FLAX STRAW
PLANT STARTS AT ENERGY

1t is estimated that fully 1000, 900
tons of flax straw are raised annually
in this state; this straw is now wasted
or burned. Prof. Bolley. the eminent
expert on flax and flax fiber says
much of which. in quality and length
for the production of fiber. far excels
the avera &c straw from which the Rus
sian peasant makes the fiber which
chiefly supplies the linen fabrics Of the
world"
There is not the slightest doubt
about the fiber producing quality Of
North Dakota fax straw. 1t has been
thoroughly tested with excellent results.
The methods that are now used in
Ireland and other parts of Europe where
the linen fabrics are made. have been
employed for many years. The process
of extraction of the fiber from the straw
is known as rettine. There are two
methods of rettine in general use. one
that of due retting in common practice
Fin Russia, and the other is to make
suitable bundles of the straw and
submerge them in a running stream ;
both methods require about four months
time to prepare the straw for breaking
and scutching.
Modern science has made vast i'm
provements over this method and today
it is possible to produce fiber in three
hours, where formerly it took four
months.
There are several methods of accom-
plishing these results. The United
States Linen Flax corporation has Sc
cured patents IN process that makes an
excellent 6ber from fax straw in three
hours. The Flickertail Linen Mills
Company have decided to adopt their
method and with this object in view.
have made arrangements to erect a mill
in the new town of Energy. Towels
and other linen products will be manu-
featured to supply the North Dakota
trade. This industry will give EN-.
ploymen t to 500 people at good wages.
1t has been q III for much CON-
ment. the useless waste of flax straw.
that has been going on for years, but
no one has come forward in a practical
way to saw the waste.
One has said: IF my state il
allowed to get a start in the manu-
facture Of linen good, it will, in the
not distant future, become the linen
center of the world. The millions. Of
tons of fax straw now burned annually.
will become q source of wealth, giving
employment to many thousand people
and greatly cheapening the cost Of linen
articles in all parts of. the country"
Prof. H. Bachelor of Fargo has made
an exhaustive study of the Possibilities
of developing the linen industry in thi.
state; he is quoted al saying, II lool
for important developments along the
line of manufacturing in this state,
particularly in the linen industry.

will eventually lead to the establish.

VALUE OF our VAST
Ignite COAL DEPoSlI$

Prof. H. Bachelor. who has figured
the native fuel Of the state at 500. 00O.-
000, 900 tons. gives the following
important facts regarding Ignite coal:
There is considerable ignorance re-
sardins the acutal value of North Dakota
Ignite. Most people do not know bow
the value of a fuel is determined.
Owing to the fact that Ignite when
taken from the mine contains 30 to 40
per cent of moisture, its heating quality
is reduced to that extent. Now the
moisture should be driven out before
being shipped to the consumer: when
Ignite is handled in this way, the heat
ing value can be determined in the
manner fixed by the United States
government, Bulletin No. 339 of the
Geological Survey, gives complete in
formation On this subject.
The standard set therein is that pay
ments for coal shall be made on the
basis of IL, 10l to IA, $50 British thermal
uAAAlo VI AOoI W. 7. w. W liz POOAiu Va
coal.
The value Of any fuel depends on the
content of hydrogen and carbon, all
other matter therein contained is waste
and of no value whatever. With this
scientific method of determining the
actual value of Ignite. we car ascer-
lain its economic worth.
1t may be we'll to state that the heat
ing value of HYDROGEN is 81. 032 B. I.
u. to the pound and that of carbon is
IA, 544 B. t. u. to the pound. These
figures, then, give something from
which Il work.
This average content is figured as
hydrogen 4 per cent. carbon IS per cent,
and on this basis a pound of Ignite has
q heating value of 1894 B. t. u.
The heating value of anthracite coal
as determined by the several purchas-
ing agencies of the government are
found to be Furnace coal, IL, 861 B. t.
u. ]; Pea coal. IL, 1856 B. t. u. and Buck
wheat coal, II, 485 B. t. u. From these
figures it will be seer that the boosted
supremancy of anthracite coal over lig-
mite is nothing more nor less than
humbug.
The vast deposits of fuel in North
Dakota were made by the Almighty for
g purpose. There is no doubt about
the value of this fuel. Recent investi-
cations made by the government have
established the fact that Ignite has q
high heating value, approximating that
of anthracite coal. When more scientific
treatment is given. after the fuel is
taken from the mine. better commercial
! results will be obtained, thus bringing
Ignite into general use at home. Civ
ing the people much cheaper fuel and
developing manufacturing on a large
? scale. :
Congressman Hanna is quoted >as
2 saying, THE time is not far distant
when our fuel deposits will come into
!; general use. The development of manu-.
featuring is certain to follow for nc
where in the world is fuel found in
greater abundance than in North
: Dakota"
