OPENING UP A
new COAL Mine

New Salem n. d. June 3.-At the
Dakota Coal Products Co. mines they
are putting down new entry to the
first vein OF coal. 1t is put down on
a slant and the coal will be hauled
out with electricity from the first vein
to the top of the elevated coal bins.
The present shaft that is being used
for the first vein of coal is going to
be put down to the second vein of
coal at a depth Of about los feet.
They will have two ways of getting
coal out of the first vein after this
work is completed.
A deep well is being drilled so as to
secure sufficient supply of water
for their. work when their new ma
chinery and boilers are installed.
Work has been commenced on a
large boarding house to be used for
the miners and will be completed in
time for use in the middle OF the sum-
mer.
The Dakota Coal Products Co. have
been forcing new entries at the mine
ever since early last fall and getting
1t in the best of shape for a heavy
run this coming year This work has
been continued all winter and crew
of men is at work at the mine all the
time. In starting a new mine 1t
takes long time before the work
becomes advanced enough to put on
a large crew OF miners. Today they
are in fine shape to put on a large
crew and as soon as the coal season
opens up there will be large guam
tity Of coal mined at the mine near
New Salem and New Salem will be
among the largest coal mining towns
in the state OF North Dakota.

PRACTICAL WORK
IN The SCHOOLS
AGRICULTURE, DOMESTIC SCI
ENcE OR MANUAL TRAINING
MUST BE TAUGHT IN
NORTH DAKOTA.

Bismarck, N. d.. June s.-In the flu
ture every teacher in the rural schools
Of North Dakota must teach agricul-
ture, domestic science or manual train
ing, this being the requirement of a
law passed at the last session Of the
legislature and which goes into effect
July /. The law will be strictly en-
forced, according to the county super
intendents, and every teacher wanting
a certificate will be required to pass a
state examination on one Of those sub
jects. The state will present the first
questions on the subjects at the August
examination, but those holding certifi-
Gates will not be affected until they
expire.
Elementary agriculture is especially
favored for the rural schools as few
can be properly equipped for the other
subjects and all the college summer
schools are presenting splendid agri-
cultural coures in order to prepare
the teachers for the examination.

HAS TWO
CLOUD BURSTS

Linton Record: Another cloud
burst with its resultant food, occurred
between and q o'clock this (Thurs-
day. evening in Linton. 1t was the
most tremendous downpour of sky
juice the writer has ever seen in North
Dakota. AS the paper was about ID
go to press when the storm came. we
cannot give details of the damage
by hail, which accompanied the rain
and wind. breaking window panes all
over town.
On Broadway-which has a consid-
cradle slope to the south-the water
was running almost knee deep during
the height Of the storm. The base
ments Of the First State bank. on the
southwest corner of Broadway ana
Hickory svenue. and the Kelsch build
ing adjoining, were fiooded-for the
second time this season.
Lumber from the Phoenix ward
fioated down into the low land south
of town.
1t is probable that daylight tomor-
row will show garden truck to have
been badly damaged by the hail.
It is to be hoped that this rain
reached the southern part of the coun-
ty, which has had little or no rain
this season.
