Fuel Supply From Ignite.

WASHINGTON, July TN briquets
of Ignite, the government bureau OF
mines believes it has developed q fuel
supply that will be of immense value
to the west, where high grade coal can
be obtained only at excessive cost. A
powerful machine brought from Ger.
many has solved the difficulty which
heretofore has limited the manufacture
of briquets, the cost of the pitch neces-
sary to hold the coal dust together,
being high.
Ignite is poor form of brown col
ored coal found in great abundance in
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Texas and other western states. It's
tendency to slack soon after being
mined makes it troublesome to trans
port and it does not burn readily on
account of the presence of between 81
and 40 per cent moisture. The bureau
of mines conducted experiments at
Williston, N. D., and developed a
furnace that would burn Ignite salts
factorily. Now that the experiments
have gone far enough to indicate that
briquets can be made successfully at
low cost, the bar to transportation OF
Ignite seems to have been solved.

OF vital Importance and national
honor. Only one point of substance
remains to be adjusted, and the state
department is awaiting the last word
of the British foreign Office on that
subject. There are two ways in which
the object to be covered in this pro.
vision of the treaty can be attained;

the state department, so there is no

Suffering From Hot Spell.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Deaths during
the present heat wave have swamped
the coroner's Office, which must hold
inquests in all cases of sudden or un.
deaths.
"We had 48 inquests Monday and
81 yesterday, mostly due directly or
indirectly to heat said Coroner
Hoffman. "The mortality continues
today. My force is overworked and
have been compelled to desert al
other duties and assist in the investi.
Cations"
There are not enough police ambu'
lances In the city to care for the pros
tration cases. Private ambulances
are being hired and frequently express
wagons on the spot are called into re
quisition.
Despite the large list of prostra
tions, cared for by the authorities, th'
health department estim ates that no
more than one per cent of the cases
are reported. Many are received q
drug stores and a great number a
their homes.

Taft Defends Pet Measure.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 4.-President
Taft put the parting touch on his part
in the celebr alton of this city's safe
and sane Fourth in speech on Can
adian reciprocity at the Marion club
banquet tonight. The president made
his answer to the arguments Of other
republicans that reciprocity as he has
proposed it is not good republican
doctrine but democr attic doctrine.
He showed that reciprocity IS pre-.
sented to congress by him differed If
at all, only slightly from reciprocity
as advocated by James G. Blaine and
former President Mckinley. He de.
clsred that the contention OF opponents
of his reciprocity plan that the doctrine
is unrepublican because it affects ar.
ticles that are competitive and are not
merely non.competive articles, is not
sound.
Replying to the contention that reci'
procity would be wholly at the expense
of the farmer and in the interest of
the wage earners of the large cities,
Mr.. Taft declared that in his judgment
the reciprocity agreement will not
greatly reduce the cost of living II at

Too Much irrigation.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-A problem
has arisen in connection with irriga-
ton which it seems that some tracts
now being irrigated will likely be
ruined by the use of too much water.
In fact it is likely to be necessary for
the government to reclaim irrigated
lands as we'll as arid lands. In q
region in southern Utah too much irri'
Q alton has washed alkali and other
poisonous substances on the land
from the adjoining hills and has des'
troyed it's fertility. To restore the
land 1t will be necessary to have II

done by means of gigantic excavat'
ing machine. Similar work has just
been completed near Salmon City,
Idaho, and the government Is warning
irrig ationists to be careful not to use
excessive quantities of water.

Investigating State Department.

WASHINGTON, July SIN executive
session today the house committee on
expenditures in the state department
is to examine, it is said. certain state
department vouchers for sums paid
out OF the departments emergency
fund. The committee desired to learn
whether or not these vouchers would
tell tales of "double salarles;" money
for work of special commissions paid
to persons who were also drawing reg.
ular salaries from the department
payroll.
Representative Hamlin of Missouri
chairman of the committee, has deter
mined at least that he will, If possible,
find out wheather, as he said, "the
department is not paying from the
emergency fund extra compensation to
some of its employees by placing them
on special commissions.
