WILL RELAY BLOCKS
Between THE
TRACKS
Hope to Do Away With De
fects That Have Appeared
During Winter

Creosoted paving blocks between
the rails in the down town district
will be relaid by the Kettle River
Quarries company this summer in or
der to do away with the defects that
have appeared during the winter
months. The job is quite a large one,
as the creosoted block pavement ex-
tends over large portion of the dis
trict touched by the street railway
system.
For some time the blocks have been
going to the bad between the rails,
bullying out In such a manner that
on several occasions it has been nee
essary to make large holes in the
pavement in order to allow the cars
to pass.
This condition, It is stated, is
brought about by reason of the fact
that the blocks were not laid right,
being 80 laid as to form a slight ridge,
or mound. Under the new system of
laying. the blocks between the tracks
will be perfectly fiat. thus allowing
no opportunity for bullying.
Those interested have been investi-
eating the question for some time, and
are assured that It is the only sure
way of bringing about the desired re-
suits.

Make IMPORTANT CAANGE /
Monley & Smith win Remove to Savoy
Building on DeMcrs Avenue
by April I.

Announcement was made today by
Messrs. H. j. Monley and r. Smith
that they have rented the building on
DeMers avenue formerly occupied by
the Savoy theater, but which has been
vacant for some time. They will
move "The Lighthouse" and the Grand
Forks Trunk company to this new
building, and will operate upon a
much broader basis.
The business of the two enterprises
that they own has grown remarkably
fast and this fact necessitated the Sc
curing of larger quarters. In the new
building 10000 feet of floor space is
secured. and other very fine advant-
ages not now enjoyed in the quarters
in the New Hampshire block.
1t is expected that the change will
be brought about by April l.

NORTH DAKOTA RESOURCES
Superintendent Snyder of Hebron
Thinks North Dakota Should
Grind Her Own Wheat.

One of the most interesting and in
structive addresses heard at the uni
versity for some time was given by
Superintendent w. B. Snyder of the
Hebron experimental station this
morning. before the economics class
es on THE Undeveloped Resources of
North Dakota" The resources of
this state consist mainly of coal and
clays. The western part of this state
has made remarkable progress in the
last four years and this progress is
due mainly to the coal mines that are
being developed in this section. The
eastern section of the state has to re-
~ mainly on fuel purchased in the
east. at high prices. and as result.
manufacturing and other industries
are at lower ebb. The richest states
are the coal mining states and IL
linois, Pennsylvania, and others can
be cited as examples. Exception to
these are New York and Massachu-
sets that rely for their great wealth
on manufacturing and Mr. Snyder
ventured the prediction that manu-
featuring would be on the wane in
the near future because of the fuel
situation in those two states. North
Dakota has $4,000 square miles of
coal area and in the entire United
States there are 100000 square miles
of this area, showing this state to
have about one-ninth Of all the coal
area. Mr.. Snyder estimated that
there were 5O0,O0O.O00 tons of Ignite
in North Dakota or one-sixth OF all
the coal in the union. During the
course of his talk. the superintendent
took occasion to state that North Da-
kota would not become as great
state as she should until we have
more manufacturing plants of our
own and flour mills should be built in
this state to grind the wheat into
-four. instead of sending the wheat
to the cities as is the custom.
The study of resources is lately be-
coming a science and is recognized as
Of more importance than in the in

ture made a forward step. said Hr.
