WILLISTON, N. D., Aug. 26.-
This little city has surprise for
those who insist that Uncle Sam
is mighty poor business man,
and can't own and operate his
own resources as we'll as private
capitalists can.
Since Senator Poindexter and
Secretary Lane have been urging
their plan for the government de-
velopment of the vast coal de-
posts in Alaska, these good peo-
pie hae been saying:
What? The federal govern
ment go INTO the coal mining
business and expect to succeed /?
It's preposterous!"
Well, Uncle Sam is in the coal
mining business, right here In
Williston. And here are the
facts ! discovered when l came
to investigate:
Uncle Sam Is mining Ignite
coal cheaper than private opera
tors are.
He is paying his miners more
money than private operators are.
And he is making better use of
the coal he digs.
This federal coal mine is still
in it's infancy, and the amount of
fuel dug is small. But as a pio-
neer enterprise brought to success
in the face of great obstacles, it
has powerful bearing on the
Alaska problem.

Editors Note--As soon as
Senator Poindexter's bill for gov.
eminent development and opera
ton of Alaskan coal mines was
introduced In the senate, the
usual shrek went up from the
interests" to the effect that the
government could not successfully
mine coal; that It could not do 1t
as cheaply as q private concern;
that there would be graft and dis
NAL failure all along the line.
But Uncle Sam has been In fact
mining coal at WillistOn. A repre-
sentative of the Scripps North
west papers was sent to North
Dakota the other day with in
structions to write up govern
ment coal mining there; to inves-
tigate thoroughly and tell the
truth about 1t. He found the
truth very flattering TO Uncle
Sam. The following is his first

RICH to plank the street and let
the taxpayers pay for the work
II the company would furnish the
PLANK. The mayor was certain
the taxpayers ought to help some.
He even wanted the taxpayers Of
the city to pay portion, then get
some more from the county. This
would NIT the city taxpayers twice
and might not leave much at all
for the poor mill company.
This is better than Henry Hew-
lit himself could figure It out.
or course some little home
owner laboring under half a
dozen assessments on his own
property may not see why he
should have to help improve the
streets in front Of the mill COM
pany property as we'll as his own,
but he should ask the mayor.
The matter will be taken up
later by the council.

of cooking. No stoves or kitchen

Tientsin district of China, says con-

course, but they are by no means the
ranges to which we are accustomed.

to manufacture small cooking stoves
patterned after imported models. The

Hinckley is mighty good example
of the agricultural possibilities of
this section of the state. 1t is in the
pine country. That part once had
the same reputation of worthlessn ess
that was given to St. Louis county.
1t was largely cutover or stump
land. 1t settled slowly. 1t was in
disrepute Then came the awful fire
with it's horrible toll of lives and
property. 1t was hideous price, but
it cleared the land, uncovering the
fact that in fertility it was of the
best quality.
Since then settlers have come rap
idly; it has become a most prosper
Gus farming section, has demonstra-
ted that land which will grow pine
will grow any kind of farm products,
and it is most fitting that the organ
ization which is devoted to the devel-
opment of this northern part of the
state should meet at the chief city of
this burned over country. Hinckley
itself is the best evidence possible of
the richness of the country back of it.
1t is worth seeing; it's history is
worth knowing. 1t marks the grad
ual driving back Of the pine territory
in this state, which at one time ex-
tended to within SO miles of the
boundaries of the Twin Cities.
This same territory is now all
north of the Duluth line. Agriculture
has steadily replaced the pine forests
and when anyone pretends that pine
country cannot be agricultural coun-
try, that where pine stands or its
stumps cumber the ground, grain
and corn and forage will not grow, a
long list of the now prosperous, well
settled counties prove to the con-:
trary. ...I :..... ~:
Hinckley shows what has been
done. To meet there will give those.

This will pay for the going in itself.
But beyond that. or before it. is
the fact that this association has done
and is doing for northern Minnesota
more than all other promotion agen-
cies combined ever did, including the
