The attack Of the Journal on Alder
man Ohnstad in which they aver that
because he is not heavy tax payer
lie should have no voice in the affairs
of the city, oven though on the hoard,
will not detraet from that officials pop
ularity with the people. Mr. Ohnstau
has spent months OF hard work in pro
pairing the figures presented Monday
evening and it is largely duo to his
efforts that Devils Lake is now about
to take steps toward q municipal light
plant. Whether y tax payer or not he
is deserving of the thanks of the light
consumers of the city.

HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
BY SIMPLY SPRAYING THE SHAT
WITH A MIXTURE OF sHALE
DUST AND WATER THE DAN
GER OF EXPLOSION is ELlMlN-
ATED.
Prof. Chamberlain of the University
of Chicago Declares the Govern
ment Experts Have Solved This
Great Problem.
Chicago. Dec. %.

N5Nf 0CNf ~
Prof. Thomas C. Chamberlain OF
the University Of Chicago, in an ar
ticle issued to-day, declares that gov
eminent experts have made dlscoT-
cries by which the danger of such
mine disasters as those at Cherry,
ILL.,, and in West Virginia can be
eliminated. He says that the dis
coveries have not as yet been given
publicity by the federal bureau of
mines.
The finds referred to are described
by Professor Chamberlain as fol-
lows:
Spraying the tunnels and sdafts
Of mines with a douche Of shale aust
and water at frequent intervals will
not only make the coal dust of floors
and walls almost proof against fire
from a sudden explosion, but win pre-
vent the rise of much of the gas that
makes an explosion possible.
The danger from too strong ven--
tilation. which has stirred up the
free coal dust in the passages and
caused many explosions is obyiated
by this method. The drying shale
forms a coating over the dust, and
air currents sufficient to clear out
any gases that may accumulate may
be sent through the mine without
fear.
In this way, ven if a local ex-
plosion is inevitable at times from
the sudden issue of gas, its general
spread through the mime is made
much less probable. If not actually
impossible.

Governor Hadley will take up and
discuss I'm his message to the legis-

State Primary Election Law, and he
will have some recommendations in
the way of amendments to 1t.
The governor said this morning
that he is in favor Of the principle Of
the primary, but that its operations
in this state have been far from
satisfactory. He believes there
should be a primary law, but that
a certain per cent of the voters of
the state petitioning should be nee
essary to put 1t in force. He fav-
ors permitting the political parties
to make nominations by convention,
unless some fixed per cent tor be
provided by law, petition for a pri-
mary. This would furnish a weap.
on. he says, to squelch the bosses
whenever 1t was felt necessary.
