UNITED SITES is
Miner OF COAL
UNDERGROUND ToILERs AT gu.
FORD, ". D., MAKE 500 PER
MONTH OVER EXPENSES.

Buford, N. D., Oct. 3t.--out OF an
experiment in coal mining. which the
government il making in North pa
kota. may come suggestive data for
application In the final settlement Of
the Alaska coal question.
AS an auxiliary to an irrigation
project the department of the interior
has gone into the coal business At
Williston, n. D., he government owns
and operates coal mine 1t pays its
miners good wages. operates a model
mine, uses all modern saftey appIl-
ances and produces fuel at cost OF
$3.50 per ton.
In Its mining enterprise the govern
ment does not enter the market in
competition with private operators.
The mine simply furnishes fuel FOR the
Wiliiston and Bnford- Trenton irriga-
ton project. As the retail price OF
coal In Williston is $3.50 per tom. the
government saves 80 cents ton, and
is always certain that it will not suffer
from shortage OF fuel.
The conditions under which the min
ers live and work are nearly ideal The
men are worked eight hours d Ilay. slx
days week, and are able to earn 500
a month above living expenses. on the
average the miners make SIS day. the
schedule being so cents ton for room
work, 70 cents In ten-foot entries, and
30 cents In seven foot entries.
For the single miners the govern
ment furnishes free barracks, the men
furnishing only their own bedding. Al
MESS is provided where meals are
gwen tor q quarter each. Neat cot.
tages are provided for the married
miners at q rental OF $40 per month.
AS to the safety OF the mine itself
the Interior department has sought 10
develop model mine. Adequate exits
are arranged so that entonbment II
considered impossible. All maaerr
safety appliances have been Installed
and q system OF ventilation has been
pat In by which the air in tunnels 3. 600
feet underground IL kept almost as
fresh as that on the surface.

URGE FARMERS TO
CHANGE METHODS
PROMOTERS OF DRY FARMING
CONGRESS SAY WESTERN
". .. MUST ADOPT
NEW PLAN.

Dickinson. NJ. d. Oct. zi.--Dates
have been nxed cor the second annual
meeting OF the North Dakota Dry
Farming association to be held fin
Dickinson, Dec. and being select
ed. The organization is securing
speakers on subjects Of particular TN
terest 70 the farmers Of this section.
Sec T.. n. Walcron OF the organixn-
ton has this to say Of the work that
is being nonei
THE season OF 1911 has been dis
couraging In many ways. though the
rainfall for the year VIII be nearly
normal, The rain did not come at the
right time and consequently crops
generally were deficient. This should
not discourage those living here for
even in 1911 the crops were reason
ably abundant under certain methods.
AS Professor Shaw pointed out, at
the last meeting, II is possible prac-
tically TO remove the hazard Of crop
growing by conserving the moisture Of
one year for use the following year.
Farmers of this district have not
decided yet that this is the proper
method but Il is q question that must
be decided soon. AS far as crops are
concerned farming has generally been
conducted at a loss in the west Mis-
souri, country for two years. When
farming is conducted close to the mar
gin, # has depressing effect upon the
real estate market.
ITO change the methods Of farming
in any section of the country Is diff
cult matter, and II cannot be brought
about by one agency or In one year
But meetings similar to that held here
aast year will help greatly in attain
ing the desired goal. Live stock must
play an important part in the new
farming era"
Among the speakers already secured
are President Worst OF the agricultural
college and President Mcvey of the
state university.

That Is the normal board or authori-

as they did not go into the show bust

The matter was laid before the at
torney generals Office and decision
has been reached in which General
Miller rules that the normal Is clearly
within It's rights in bringing into the
city anything which 1t may see fit to
introduce and that the city authori-
ties have no control over the matter.
They cannot collect license fee or
make any other charge against trav-
cling company which the normal may
