MARKET MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY

New York, Jan. 2i.-The manner in
which stocks were sold today created
Il bad impression and gave rise 10
some questioning Of the financial sit
uation in its larger aspects. The eff
feet of the large aud persistent offer
ings of the most important stocks on
the speculative Imagination was I'M
canny and awakened "reminiscences of
the markets of March. 1907, which
gained the title of THE silent panic"
in the chronicles of that year. The
persistence with which stocks were
sold today had the effect of clearly
convincing opinion that undue promi-

cases for the last weeks break in
prices such as the Hooking coal cpl
sode. The doubtful relation OF COR
porations to the law was generally ac-
cepted as the principal underlying
cause of the present weakness. The

that might seriously dislocate finan-

GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL HAVE PLAN FOR
STATE PRISON.

Washington. Jan. .i.-(Special.)-
Governor Norris and Attorney. General
Galen left washington the latter part
of the week en- route home after a
busy week of conferences with gov
eminent officials in regard to mat
tiers affecting the state. They were
successful in postpon.ng contem-
plated suit of the government against
Montana for the recovery of lands in
Lewis and Clark county. Upon their
request. the government will withhold
judgment against the state in this
matter for two years, within which
time the state officers hope to have
the land i'm question irrigated by the
Ames Realty company.
They also took up with the aSricui-
1ural department and the Montana
senators and congressman the project
for a perpetual right TO land in the
Hell Gate national forest in Powell
county for a power plant to furnish
light, power and water to the state
prison at Deer Lodge and the insane
Wilson told the governor and the at
torney general that the government
should do everything possible to grant
the state the right to locate the plant
and he would have the matter investi-
gated Senator Dixon will introduce a
bill at their request to give the state
a permanent easement to the lands for
the plant. The land wanted for the
reservoir flune and pole line is in Race
Track creek canyon in the He'll Gate
forest, l. miles east of Deer Lodge,
The reservoir site and right of
way are desired solely and entirely
for the use of the state. its use being
essentially public and in no way in
tended for speculative purposes.
The governor and attorney general
supplied Secretary Wilson and the
Montana senators and representatives
with full details of the proposed plant.
According to this data. the state pro-
poses TO use the reservoir. bitches. etc.

Springs. At present. they pointed out.
the state is purchasing water by con-
tract for the use of the prison, and is
generating light by coal and wood, the
expense Of which is all the time in
creasing. In. addition the state pro-
poses soon to install a manufacturing
plant at the prison to furnish en-
ployment for the inmates. which is ex-
pected to yield a revenue. 1t is planned
10 build a dam at q point on Race

Best Coal Mine in North Dakota

j. F. Brodie. an experienced
Pennsylvania miner, has recently
opened a coal mine in the thickest
vein discovered in North Dakota.
The mine is called the East Lehigh
and is located at Lehigh, a station
four miles east of the town of
Dickinson. The vein is 26 feet
thick and is entered on a level
from the side of a hill a few hum
dred feet from the railroad track.
Mr.. Brodie owns 24O acres of
ground under which this enormous
vein is known to extend. For
quality this coal is unsurpassed by
any North Dakota Ignite. An
alysis shows that it's value for fuel
is about 80 per cent of that Of
Ohio bituminous coal. Mr.. Brodie
puts this coal on the cars for ship
ment at the mouth of the mine at
cost to the purchaser Of $1.0O a
ton. The coal deposit is so large
and so easily and cheaply worked
that operations can be extended to
keep pace with the demand for
coal. Northwest Magazine.
