sure Is so great that they are entirely
powdered" was the statement made
by friend of the inventor. "The idea
is that much clay contains oil and ig.
nitable seepage, which in time forms
a gas that remains in the clay for a
long period. With other processes
which | cannot disclose, the clay Is
pressed by the aid of the machine into
bricks, which will burn to fine pow.
der and give as much heat as the av.
erage hard coal"
The reason for the extremely high
pressure, 1t is said is on the same
basis as II hard coal was about to be
made. Many years of pressure makes
the coal hard, and the harder the
pressure, so much more igntable sub
stance is retained. so it is explained
with the clay fuel.
Whether a patent for the new ma.
chine has been secured Is not known.
but assurance is given that many years
will not elapse before we will be going
to the brick yard for fuel instead of
to the high priced coal bin.

The coal bin will be changed to a

state-not counting the "girls"-it has
remained at standstill since that
time, but probably by now If repub.
lished would include the whole list.
For attorney general the only names
In the open as yet are Royal G. John
son of Hyde county, who has made a
good record as states attorney of that
county, and who has the backing of
the younger politicians of the state,
the move having been started by state
university boys who were classmates
of Johnson at the university. Another
name is that of Charles Jorgenson of
Roberts county, now states attorney.
For lieutenant governor the only
name yet brought into the open is that
of state Senator Frank NJ. Burne of
Faux county, whose name is being
urged by the papers In the north cen
trail part Of the state.
Just where the situation will land
so far as the governor is concerned is
yet an open one. Governor Wesley will
find friends and votes where he did not
get them two years ago, and, on the
other hand, will find opposition where
he received support at that time. Who
his opposition If any. will be appears
to be centerng on either Ex-Governor
Elrod of Clark, or h. l.. Abel of HUI
ron. If either of these men come into
the field it will be as a straight stall
wart candidate in opposition to Yes
sey as a progressive. The candidacy
of George W. Egan, which appeared to
be somewhat formidable last summer
now appears to be dwindling down to
practically nothing. One of the hopes
of the stalwarts was in a division of
the progressive an easy victory, but
that element does not appear as strong
as it did a few months ago.
Two nominees for supreme court
Judges will be selected in the prima.
ries next June, and it is not considered
likely that there will be any opposition
among the republicans themselves to
the selection of Judges Mccoy and
Smith to succeed themselves following
their appointment by Governor Wesley

Same Old Spanish Graft.

Long Pine Journal: Last week the
Journal published the contents of a
circular sent out by the government in
regard to the Spanish swindle" which
is being operated all over the world by
a gang of Spaniards who send their
letters out from Madrid Spain. The
following day after the last issue of
the Journal w. B. Dickson received
one of the letters telling him of a dis
tant relative who is in prison. The
prisoner has large amount of money,
secreted in Valise in Spain and wish
eS his relative in this country to ac-
cept the same and also to care for a
darling daughter which is his only rel
ative in Spain. The letter is gotten up
in very pleading manner and in nine
cases out of ten the villains secure a
victim to their scheme for obtaining
money. In the letter received by Mr.
Dickson, four pages of very small writ
ing is used in explaining how the prs-
oner intends to send his darling daugh-
ter to this country with the fortune
which goes into the possession of the
distant relative in this country. The
letter is dated at Madrid, Spain, on
December 3, 1909, and is supposed to
have been written by a priest in the
prison. The swindle is being worked
very smoothly by the villains in Spain
and no doubt there will be many par
ty in the United States to bite at the
well doctored bait, and only see his
mistake after he has been relieved of
large sum of money.

that day gave an order to his broker
to buy 10000 shares of Rock Island

The millionaire had been celebrat

street is informed and as a result
the selling order was not given at all
or was bungled in some way, so that
the buying order for 10000 shares par
alyzed the shorts and sent the price
of Rock Island skyward.
Still another story was to the effect
that the same millionaire left a buy
ing order for only 1000 shares, but
that a telegraph or telephone operator,
who also had been celebrating Christ
mas, added an additional cipher to the
order, making it read 10000 instead of
1000 shares and that this originated

Out After the Offices.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. /. - Ever since
statehood the Black Hills section of
the state has had representation in the
senatorial or congressional delegation
from the state at Washington, and in
every case the representative has
come from Lawrence county. Several
attempts have been made by the coun-
ties in the southern part of the Black
Hills section to break into this ar
rangement, but they have always fail
ed. There are rumors that under the
provisions of the primary law a strong
effort will be made to change the past
conditions. The people of Rapid City
feel that after more than twenty years
of such representation from Lawrence
county they are entitled to a showing,
and rumors are strong of their going
after it for keeps next June. The
question of "stalwart" and progress
sive" does not appear to enter into
the situation, only the one of location
of the congressman from the western
half of the state. Up to the present
the names which are most often men
toned in that connection are John F.
Shrader and c. J. Buel. Shrader has
always been with the stalwart faction
in their fights and Buel with the OPP
position. If Rapid City decides to
make the fight in earnest it is not
likely that more than one of these
men will be brought to the front
While this move is to a certain eX-
tent aimed at Congressman Martin
personally, it is more largely a geo.
graphical than personal fight.
East of the river the only open OPP
position as yet to the return of Con-
gresham Burke is the candidacy of
w. s. Glass, of WATERFOWL, who an
nounces his candidacy for the next
campaign.
Among the state list the names are
coming TO the front pretty regularly
now. ]. e. Truran has announced his
candidacy for the position of head of
the state land department, where he
has filled the position of deputy for
seven years, and has acquired a thor
Ough familiarity with the work of that
department which would go a long
way toward assuring a continuance of
the policies of the past and present
commissioners should he be selected
The only other name which has been
mentioned in that direction is the
booming which the Stanley county pa
pers are giving n. NJ. Hanson, the
lease clerk in the department, who
lives in that county. 1t is not known
whether he will become a candidate or
not for the place.
