WILTON Mine HAS
INCREASED OUTPUT

Wilton, N. D., July 14.-Within the
next thirty days, Wilton's big coal
mine will begin to increase the output
Of Ignite materially, and unless all
signs fail, the company will do a
greater business the coming year than
in any previous season in the history
of the mine.
During the summer months every
part of the immense plant has been
inspected and put in first class con-
dition for the long winters run, The
machinery, boilers, electric wiring and
motors have been thoroughly over
hauled, preparatory to constant use
during the fall winter.
The eleven miles of underground
trackage which extends all over the
mine is in prime condition to carry
the heavy cars to and from the bot
tom of the shaft.
Coal will be shipped to much new
territory throughout the state as well
as to many points in South Dakota
and Minnesota. The people of North
Dakota are making use of the native
coal more each year and the mine al
Wilton is easily getting its share.
\ Nearly all of the public institutions
of the state are now using the product
Of this mine.

Mandan, N. D., July Al. A. Pal
mer, chairman, and a committee from
the Knife River Co., near Manning,
have been here to confer with the
commercial club relative to the build
ing of the railroad along the Knife
river. and which is to connect with the
Milwaukee road.
The largest owners Of land in Dunn
county are very much in earnest in the
matter of securing a. railroad. They
have strong backing, and the plans as
projected contemplate building
through Dunn and into Mercer county,
and hen crossing the main line of the
Northern Pacific southwark to the
Milwaukee. :s<
/ The people of Hebron are very anx-
ious to help with this project in order
to get a competing road, but to urn
from the Knife river north Of Hebron
will leave a big stretch of country in
Mercer and Oliver counties and that
will furnish a immense amount of
traffic.
1t was in hopes of covering this
territory that these Dunn county men
came here to talk over the plan of
building the road to Mandan and then
south from here to the Milwaukee.

|SOnE ANXIETY
YET ABOUT CROPS

Harvey, N. D., July 14.-The usual
anxiety is being felt. at the present time
anent the crop situation, and from
present appearances the average crop
this veal will fall short of last year.
This may be accounted for from the
fact that but little fall blowing was
done, and the lateness of the season
this ,year as a onsequenc of which
much ofsthe grain had to be stumbled
in.
Then the rain proposition has been
scarcely favorable as there has been
no general precipitation this year, al
though rains have fallen quite heavily
in some sections, and not much in
Others, all of them being in the char
acter of local showers.
AS a consequence some of the farm
ers will reap a good average yield,
others will cut a poorer one, while
some will have fields that will hardly
pay to cut. .r --, s
This will perforce cast a gloom over
ON localities but will speak volumes
for the advancement of stock and
dairy business with it's attendant
smaller farming. Il
The crop conditions in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Harvey will be good in
some sections, poorer in others, and IN
some few cases will be practically nil.
The recent showers have vastly bene-
fitted those on whose fields they have
fallen, and even though wheat straw is
short 1t Is coming on we'll and will be
much improved. ..*. F.

Water USERS have
~PETlTIdNED LANE

Williston, N. D.. July 14.-The meet
ing OF the Wi1liston Water Users as
ISOLATION was held at the Palmer
scheolhouse July Z at which a. good
representation of farmers under the
project was present. Al few were out
from Williston. a few from the south
n of the project near town and a
number from UP the valley. In re
Spouse to the letter or Commissioner
French, read at the meeting, it was
decided to inform the commissioner
that in the opinion of the water users
here operation and maintenance pay
ments should be made in advance 60
per cent on Dec. / and 40 per cent OF
Mayt1.
The association sent an invitation to
Secretary Lane to spend a day look
ing over the Williston project on his
way to Montana.
1t was decided also to petition the
secretary of the interior to. defer the
collection Of back operation and main
tenance charges and have them col
lected in installments in the future.
The resolutions adopted cite four
reasons for the requests which have
been made:
/. There was a failure of crops in
1911-12 with SO per cen of the alfalfa

Will PLOW DOWN
FIELD OF WHEAT

Wolford, N. D., July 14.-Fred Had
ley, living six miles northeast of here,
was in town Saturday and said he
intended starting to pillow under sixty
five acres of wheat hat Is absolutely
worthless.
Mr.. Hadley used seed that stood in
the shock until the middle Of the
winter and to this fact he blames the
failure of his crop, although he claims
to have tested the seed before plant
ing and that ninety-nine out Of 100
kernels terminated.
He says the grain all started nicely,
shot up a couple of inches, and then
died. On examining the field he found
that the roots of the grain had either
rotted off or else there had been no
roots to start with. ~

John Anderson and Miss Pearl Flem-

riage license and when informed by
the county judge that under the new

returned. to the judges Office. Labor
ing under the impression that they de-
sired to be wed at once, the Judge
propounded the usual questions, and

cedure of obtaining a license. When
the truth dawned upon them they
were taken by surprise, and the bride
exclaimed that all her pretty clothes

wedding had been left at home for use

tended the ceremony should take place.

bank would have to pay a tax on Its
outstanding notes of IL per cent when
its gold reserve would be 47R per
cent; 6 per cent when its reserve
should drop to 40 per cent, and l0R
per cent when it's reserve would fall
to 33 1-3 per cent: it to be prohibited
from issuing notes when he reserve
would fall below that point.
1--WE believe this to be the scientific
and most practical way in which to
enforce an automatic redemption Of
bank notes.
Suggestions Rejected.
1.-THE bill under discussion gives to
the federal reserve board the power
to require a tax upon circulation II
in it's judgment it is deemed best.
What would be the situation If q
member bank of a federal reserve
bank, after having discounted paper
with it, should ask for 1000, 900 or
50, 900, 900 Of bank notes to send to it's
| correspondents in the country to be
| used for crop-moving or other pur-
poses and the federal reserve bank
would have an excess of gold reserve
at the time? Do you suppose the
manager of that bank would be will
ing to pay a tax of any rate upo
bank notes simply for the purpose of
accommodating h member bank?
Instead of so doing, do you not think
that he would say to that bank that
/ it would be expensive to furnish these
notes and insist upon it taking gold
instead? This followed to it's finality
would mean the ultimate scattering Of
vast sums of gold throughout the
country, whereas, the whole theory Of
the necessity for currency legislation
Is based upon the necessity for
mobilizing these gold reserves.
II claim that there should be no
limit on the amount of bank notes that
can be issued, leaving that to be de-
termined by the requirements Of bust
ness rather than upon the guess OF
any one, for who can tell today what
our requirements in business for bank
notes will be in five Or ten years?
Removing the limit as to the maxi
mum amount of issue n protecting
us from imitation by taxing the de-
ficiency in gold reserve as it falls UNI
der so per cent, along the lines l have
already stated, and then making pro-
vision for such automatic redemption
as I have indicated, instead of en-
forcing redemption by taxation. would
give us a bank-note issue that would
be scientific and be out in circulation
in exactly the amount necessary to
serve the requirements of business.
"Our suggestions for changes in his
respect did not meet with favorable
consideration, for the reason, as we
were told, that there is a wing of he
democratic party the members Of
which are firm in their conviction the
government should issue all bank
notes or money" as they expressed

we recommended that either the

payments to be made at the same time

the plan to issue the bonds in lieu of cash to the con-
tractors who do the work and it is suggested he
tractors will accept the bonds although they may have to
charge little more to protect themselves"
Of course, the scheme cannot possibly succeed with
out the connVance of the daily papers, for the people
would and kick the scheme out Of the city building
if they knew the real facts But the dailies will keep
quiet and the scheme may go through It means in the
aggregate that the people will have to pay about $4,000

Gals seem to be in league.
And this bond issue will initiate against the water
