Ignite coal, has been responsible for
launching the first. commercial bri-.
quoting enterprise in the state. / III
Ignite coal, OF which the state has
vast deposits, can be best utilized in
briquette form, an. the state has:
through Dean Babcock H W orked out a
method of briquetting that is con
;sidered successful, tests OF several
years duration being made and these,
have all been satisfactory. *&5 III
#3& The first commercial briquetting
plant will be located in Minot, where
a company with a 100000 capital has
been organized. Actual construction
work on the plant has also been com
menced. That Ignite coal, properly.
exploited, will be an even greater re-
source to the state than its agric1l-
.tural lands, is the belief of Dean Bah
cock. Il Government estimates place
the states coal deposits at about 50O,-
900, 100000 tons, the deposits underlay-
ing practically the entire western
part Of the state. When the briquet-
ting plants begin operation this coal
will be utilized, and some Of the dis
advantages now existing as pertains
to its use will be done away with. ~

This was the plan OF the Colombian con-

IL adopted its policy OF delay.
Against this numerous protests were
made. Dr. Marroquin the President OF
Colombia, sincerely favored the canal and
the treaty, and was so disgusted with the
tactics of Congress that he contemplated
resigning his office. In fact, on May IL
II was announced. though Incorrectly,
that he had resigned, and had been sue
ceeded by General Rafael Reyes, VINO was
opposed to the treaty. The United States
made its attitude and intentions clear IL
would not brook delay, but would seek
the alternative route at Nicaragua, as an

THE PROPOSED TREATY.

At the beginning OF 1905. then, the terms
OF the proposed treaty were puoilshed'
They provided for the payment or caSh
bond Of 100000 TO Colombia and per-
petual royalty OF $4,000 year, In return
for which the United States was TO nave
the privilege OF constructing the canal
There was to be no cession OF territory
nor any establishment Of United states
authority over a Canal Zone. All the
isthmus was to remain under Colombian
police control. Jurisdiction and admins
tration. the same as before.
Colombia, however. demurred She
demanded a yearly royalty of s6OO'OOO'
and there was a popular demand at Bo-
gotta for a cash bonus OF s30.o0O.oOO.
The fact was Colombia needed the
money. Her treasury was empty. she
had tsoO.oO0.OOo Of paper money in circu-
lation. OF which one dollar was worth
only three-quarters of cent In goio'
The whole issue of $500. 100000 was
worth only sI,500.000. At Bogota $4,000
In paper was paid for pair OF boots
In those circumstances the absence OF
Itching palms would have been miracu-
lous.
The United States was generous
though not to the full extent of the de-
sires OF Colombian impecuniosity. Be-
fore the end of January IL agreed to a
revision of terms under which Colombia
was to get bonus OF si0.000.000 and a
perpetual annuity of s250.000. These
were the same terms that were after
