The N. D. Power Supply

North Dakota will some day be IA
nous for its power. The state geolo-
gist, A. G. Leonard, has just issued a
statement in which he says that the
total tonnage of workable coal in North
Dakota is estimated at 500, 900, O0O, 900
tons. Wrapped up in that vast tonnage
is supply of power which staggers
the mind, when an attempt is made to
grasp its possibilities.
Those who scoff at the idea that this
will some day be great manufacture
ing state fail to take into consideration
the fact of this vast power supply and
the further fact that in the state next
to North Dakota on the east are to be
found the greatest iron ore deposits in
the world.
In the light of the tremendous ad-
vancement that has been made in the
western part of the United States in
the past fifty years, who will deny that
North Dakota within the next fifty
years may not develop into one of the
greatest manufacturing states in the
nation?
This is not to say that any great de-
velopement in manufacturing will come
in the immediate future. But, as the
state and the nation grow, and es-
pecially as the west is developed and
the nonnlation increases and concen-
trates as it has in the east. this mighty
supply of power cannot lay neglected.
The inventive geniuses Of the coming
generations will be challenged to pro-
vide methods of extracting this power
at little cost.
Until such time comes, the state
has its great agricultural resources and
for its immediate prosperity should lay
all stress on developing these resources.

Legislature Con-
vencd After Recess
Most Important Questions Will Be
Brought Up Within the Next
Ten Days

Both houses of the North Dakota leg
islature reconvened Tuesday afternoon
after short recess.
A bill has been introduced to lengthen
the term of governor to four years and
prohibiting him from being candidate
again.
A bill, that will not meet with the ap-
proval of the railroad and express COM
panies, was introduced in the senate and
permits states attorney to inspect
the books of these companies in securing
evidence regarding the shipment of IL
quor into the state.
The bill asking for uniformity in text
books is not meeting with the favor ex-
pected.
The bill preventing the sale of snuff
in North Dakota has passed the senate.
Two petitions were sent from
Turtle Lake and Washburn respectively
to the House opposing the IL per cent
interest law, which they termed "usu-
ry," and recommending that the pres
ent legislature take some action toward
a reduction.
A bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate appropriating $4,000 for flax ex-
periments. Also one appropriating
SIS, 500 for salaries and expenses for
state agent to promote development of
resources of state. An appropriation
of $12, 900 has been asked for to pur-
chase a site for state park and capitol
grounds.
Representative Wing introduced bill
providing appropriation to pay for sink
ing of test wells to ascertain grade of
Ignite coal in stratus lower than where
ordinary Ignite is found.
A bill that will cause considerable
talk before it is finally passed or laid
upon the table will be the one making
the term Of members of the house of
representative four years and that the
regular session of the legislature be
held every four years.
There has been a total of 81 bills
introduced in the two houses so far
this session, but of course good many
of them are duplicated in the house and
the senate. The representatives had
contributed 169 of the grand total and
the senate is a close second with 142
for their record. Practically all of the
appropriation bills have been introduced
in duplicate, one in the house and one
in the senate.

exploits, after little nap of twenty
years, probably will be more than
eclipsed by the adventures about to be
experienced by Tucker Ballard, who re-
turned to everyday existence yesterday
after thirty-two years spent in the
penitentiary at Joliet. .......5.
When Ballard walked ont of the peni-
tentiary yesterday he was given a suit
of clothes and $40. The value of the
money was as great mystery to him
as any of the inventions that have been
made during his incarceration. Z
Here are just a few of the, wonders
of Ballard's new life that to others are
trivial things: Automobiles, aeroplanes,
electric cars, telephones, wireless tele-
graphy, monographs.
The first thing Ballard did when he
was convinced that he was free man
was to rush out into the street and
stop passing streetcar. i
elbow much does it cost to ride on
one Of these things?" he demanded,
holding out his $40 bill.
"Say, are you trying to kid some-
body?" asked the conductor.
Next Ballard wanted to use a tele-
phone. 81 saw one in the penitentiary
once, but l meyer heard voice over q
wire," he said. .Can it really be done?''
II want to ride in an automobile and
see an aeroplane in action and then l
guess I'll be about ready to die," said
the man. M.
Ballard was sent to the penitentiary
for killing a companion in saloon in
Braidwood in 1879.

Winter Care Of Colts

With the winter season athand comes
the increased necessity for the proper
care of the spring colts. This is matter
of sufficient Importance to demand care
full attention. Two fundamental prin-
ciples must be kept we'll in mind, be-
cause upon their observance depends to
a very large extent the success or fail
ure of the project
In the first place, the quality and
quantity of feed demands attention.
The colts are growing and developing
animals, whose value at maturity is
measured to no inconsiderable extent
by the degree of development of bone
and muscle. Satisfactory development
can only result when proper feed is
supplied. The formation of bone and
muscle require rations containing the
so-called tissue builders in large guam
titles. In, grain ration of oats>are
combined the necessary elements for
the formation of bone and muscle bet
ter than in any other single grain, and
for this reason oats form a most neces-
sary part Of the ration. Other grains
and mixtures may be substituted, but
none Of them are better than oats.
However, If other rations are fed, re-
member that the demands of the ani-
NAL require quantity sufficient for
tissue formation as well as for energy
and warmth. To feed sparingly is to
interfere with development to such an
extent that its effects may remain in
evidence throughout the life of the
horse.
Daily exercise is the second funda-
mental principle in the successful wint-
ering of colts. Only failure can result
even if tissue building material is fed
in sufficient amount, but the daily ex-
ercise iss insufficient. Not only is the
maintenance Of vigorous health impos-
sible. but the development Of newly
formed tissueis seriously hindered. It
is common knowledge that any tissue
not in daily use soon becomes weak,
and II the disuse continues long enough,
becomes practically worthless. How
can strong muscles be developed except
by exercise, and how is exercise pos
sible when no opportunity Is provided
for ii? Time and place for daily exer.
else should be as regularly provided g
feed. When this il done. much Of the
danger from kicks and othsr jurias1

Criticising the Schools

There has been great deal OF crltl-
cism of the public schools lately. The
St. Louis Times has this to say on the
subject:
One of the eastern magazines has
just completed the task of proving to
its own satisfaction that the American
public school is rank failure.
It is true that many thoughtful peo-
pie who look for better political and in
dustrial and ethical conditions to result
from the universal presence of the
little red schoolhouse are beginning to
feel discouraged. After all these years
of free education, placed within the
reach of all classes of children, there
ought to be larger PERCENTAGE of peo-
pie who do not employ the double
negative, unconsciously, or vote for
Roosevelt, or believe that black cat
means bad luck.
But we still believe that this is be-
cause the public schools are not pat
ronized lo1ne enough by sufficiently
large nunpbir of people, and not be-
cause the system which has been de-
veloped by the schools is wrong.
4 AS no two children are alike, it must
follow that all efforts at strict classi
fication must be followed by some fail
ures. But so long as each child cannot
have q private tutor, chosen with re-
lation to the child's special or peculiar
tendencies, the method Of teaching by
classes, and of. making variety Of
young people conform to rules without
variety, seems to be the best thing in
sight. And whatever handicaps may
result from the practice Of treating all
children alike must, be largely atoned
for by that happy training in the art Of
,camaraderie which Is the public schools
best asset. .3... 4, NJ. ],
Az for the magazine to. which refer
ence has been made, it ought to find q
better argument than the fragile one
that when pupils bring their books home
for study out Of school their work Ii
wasted, because their parents .do"
their lessons for them. The parents
ought TO know better than to- permit
their children - depend upon them for
help ia discovering how long il will take
the hound to oyertake the hare. .3
