North Dakota Leads *4..=
In Coal Fields
Our State Has Twice as Much Goal as Illinois,
Heat Producing Qualities Prove to Be Better
New Rates Will Help ..E

On March IA the supreme court of
the United States handed down = do
ciston UNFOLDING the validity Of the
maximum coal rate law Of North Da-
kota, just what that decision means
to. the people OF this state they
scarcely realize.
While the enforcement Of the law
means q reduction in the tariff on
coal OF more than 30 per cent ON the
average, nevertheless, the rates will
still be higher than the rates now
prevailing i'm some parts Of Illinois,
Ohio ana West Virginia At the pres
emit time Illinois is second In the pro-
duction of coal In the United States.
The heating value, varies from $500
to 1850 Brithish thermal units OF
heat to the pound Of coal. ~, = ~
Now, North Dakota Ignite, which
so many Of our citizens affect to be-
heve to be poor fuel. has when
properly prepared for the consumer
heating value. varying from 10,5OO
to 1880 B. T. u, which Is q higher
heating value than Illinois coal. Dur
ing the year 1908, Illinois mined and
shipped 47,659,69O tons, during the
same period North Dakota mined only
32O,742 toms, although its deposits OF
coal are more than twice as great as
they are in Illinois.
In addition to our Ignite having q
higher heating value than Illinois
coal, it contains gasmaking proper
ties, Of which eminent authority says,

does either anthracite or bituminous

That Ward county and the Mouse

and grain man Of this state. When
men who have occasion to travel over
The state the way Mr.. Nelson does,

found in other parts Of the state.

HcuViues' pursuant 10 the coming Con-

counteract the effect the admonition has
mad on prospective voters.
mat the recent Civil Service Commits

WOuld-be voters is held by Henry NJ
Camp, Of local headquarters. in the old
Garrtck Club. That the commission
has gone a little too far" in its order
70 the clerks also is held by Mr.. Camp.
Counter Move Made
As a counter move, Mr. Camp today
had conspicuOusly displayed at the doors
OF Headquarters a large sign informing
possible voters that they have nothing
10 fear from the Civil Service Commits
sion should they decide to go back home
TO cast their ballots, in spite Of ali the
edicts which that body may issue.
Mr.. Camp, who says that the near
def issued to the Civil Service Commits
sion has the backing of President Taft,
In speaking Of the matter today, said:
1t IS deplorable that al this time,
when II IS up 70 every good citizen to
cast a ballot. the Civil Service Com
mission should issue such an order.
The commission Is surely going too far.
BY the order they have frightened of
scores of voters who are afraid 10 60

ollity OF losing their positions.
Endorsed By Taft.

Mr.. Camp said that every reasonable
means would be employed to bring 70
the attention Of Government employees

which tells voters that the Civil Service
Commission has not the power to keep
them from voting and the charge that
