in other trades, out Of work.
At many OF the iron works and 9th.
er big factories, men today received
notice from employers that their
services would not be required after
February %. should the coal strike be
decided on. Most of the factories
have supplies of coal sufficient for
the more urgent work in hand.
In London and other cities the
price Of coal already has reached 0S
per ton, and the poorer classes OF peo'
pie are paying almost double this
rate since they purchased only In
small quantities. Coal owners met In
conference today to consider the SIT
uation in the trade and also to dis
cuss the invitation of Premier AS.

.meet him and some of his colleagues
at the foreign Office tomorrow to en-.

honest men are especially rare In the
capital city of North Dakota. But the
particular man we refer to was an
exception to the established standard
of honesty. He came to our room in
the Hotel Mckenzie one evening and
asked us If we were brother of the
late C. C. Knappen. On being assured
that we were, he said that several
years ago, while c. G. was in business
at Grand Forks, N. D., he (the speak

at this time the interest on the debt
would amount to about 81. He there
fore requested us to accept his check
made in favor Of the widow Of the
late G. C. Knappen, for the sum Of s..
which he accordingly did, in admlra-
ton and amazement. The name Of
this exceptional gentleman is I. c..
Davies, and Is is a practic1ng attor-
ney at Bismarck. N. D. II the people
are looking for honest men, they will
certainly elevate MI. Davies to one Of
the highest positions within their gift.
