EASTERN MEN ARE At WORK
Prospecting for Coal in Vicinity of
New Salem.

Some Eastern men have been at
New Salem for two months pros
pecting for coal and have had a min
ing engineer and surveyor on the
ground. They have put down about
fifteen holes and are opening an entry
into a vein of coal about one mile
south of town.
A track will be built from town to
the mine so that they will have good
railroad facilities and the hauling and
mining will be done by electric power.
The Eastern men are asking the vii
lage of New Salem for an electric
light and gas franchise, which they
can easily handle in connection with
their own. The mine will employ
about sixty men until the lower vein
is ready for operation, which will take
about $50 men to operate. The con
cern will be known as the Dakota Coal
Products company, but just who are
it's hackers nobody knows other than
that they are Eastern capitalists who
have looked over the ground, pur-
chased land and secured options on a
lot more. They expect to be operat-
ing the temporary mine by the latter
part of next week.

RAINS SAVE RAINY RIVER
Downpour Checks Fires Threatening
Canadian Town.

Winnipeg, July 24.-The latest re
port made to the Canadian Northern
railroad officials from the Rainy River
fire threatened district is that a strong
southeast wind is blowing the fire
away from the town. It is also rain
ing quite hard. The people of the
town now believe that all danger is
past.
Nearly 1000 feet of hose was dis
patched by express to Rainy River
and all the available engines of the
Canadian Northern railroad we're sent
to be ready in case the rolling stock
of the railway should have to be
moved.
To the north of Devlin and Crozier
the flames cut a wide swath and hard
ly a stick of green timber can be seen.
The loss will be heavy both to the set
tiers and to the government. 1t is
certainly the worst calamity in years
and a large number of settlers will be
homeless and almost %penniless.

FAIR is A GREAT SUCCESS
Grand Forks Is Pleased With the
Event,

Last week saw the close of one Of
the most successful fairs ever held in
Grand Forks. With the general crop
conditions taken into consideration
the attendance records were remark
able, the average for four days being
the very best that has e been ex-
perienced. The exhibits, too, were a
great deal better than expected.
A majority of those on the grounds
were farmers-the men whom bad
weather conditions have hit the hard
est.
The %aeroplane flights by Arch Hox-
sey, operating a Wright aeroplane,
were easily the feature of the fair in
an amusement way and served to
draw many thousands of the visitors.
This was the day on which the last
flight was made, Hoxsey making his
trip for exhibition purposes and later
racing against an automobile for five
miles.
Splendid weather has prevailed and
that fact served to add greatly to the
success achieved.
