The appointment of successor to
C. C. Mackenroth as superintendent
of the water and light depaftmentwas
taken up. Mr.. Bruegger read the ap-
plication of George Bissell, of Minot,
and recommended his appointment at
salary of $125.00 per month, the
amount asked by the applicant. No
final action was taken however, as the
resignation of Mr.. Mackenroth has
never been accepted and the council
wanted to be sure just when Mr.. Bis
sell would be here before accepting
the resignation and making the ap-
pointment. The head of this depart
ment was directed to communicate
with the applicant at once and find
out just how soon he could be on the

relieved by the goth.

considered as an enormous poIentiaA
resource.
On account of its heavy percentage
of moisture and rapid disintegration
on exposure Ignite does not stand
Transportation as we'll, and conse-
quently its field of usefulness has been
thus far limited. Its principal use
has been to supply fuel to the set
tiers on the treeless plains in the wes-
tern part of the State, and for that
purpose it has been mined in a crude
way in almost every county in the
Ignite bearing area. Commercial
mines are situated on the lines of
railway and supply the towns of the
State with fuel for domestic pur-
poses and for use under steam boilers.
But Ignite has been found to be an
excellent fuel for the generation of
producer gas, and with the develop
ment of manufacturing industries in
the State, the extensive deposits of
Ignite in North Dakota will receive
more attention as source of power.
1t has been found that l ton of lig-
mite in the gas producer will yield as
much horsepower in the internal-com-
bustion engines as l ton of the best
bituminous coal under boilers. As the
gas producer and internal combustion
engines in large units come into more
general use in the West, as they are
rapidly doing in the East, the hum
dreds of billions Of tons of Ignite
known to underlie North Dakota will
be found to possess great potential
ties in the settlement and economic
development of the State. .

BLAZE IN r. r.
COAL CHUTE
DANGEROUS BLAZE STARTS IN
G.. N. COAL STATION IN LO-
CAL YARDS

The department was called out
Monday at noon to put out a fire on
the roof of the Great Northern Coal
chute in the local railway yards. Just
what started the blaze is hard to telLs
but it appears that cinder from a
passing engine must have landed on
the shingle roof and set the blaze
going.
Being nearly at the top of the high
roof the blaze was hard to reach and
it caused the firemen considerable
trouble before they had it completely
out. Some irregularity in sounding
the alarm caused little delay also,
and it was fortunate that the fire got
no better start than it did, or the big
chute would doubtless have gone up
in smoke.

RECENT BULLETIN GIVES SOME

The production of coal Qignite) in
North Dakota in 1912, according to E.
w. Parker, of the United States Geo.
logical Survey, amounted to 499, ,480
short tons, valued at $765, ,105, COM
pared with 5O2,62s short tons, valued
at $720,4s9, in 1911, the latter ton
mage being the maximum output in
the history of the state. The decrease
Of 3,148 short tons in 1912 was so
small as to possess no significance,
while the increase of $44,616 in the
value of the product indicates salts
factory condition of trade. It is not,
however. in the comparatively small
production of coal in North Dakota
that the Importance Of the State as
a fuel producer lies. The vast Ignite

teressing place. There was every
thing there necessary for the produc-
ton of modern newspaper, includ-
ing Merganthaler Linotype machine,
which was in operation setting the
type for the daily paper published
each day. The newspaper men of the
city were invited by special wire
from Stanley to be. on hand to be
shown through the train, which was
done.
Set Hot Pace
From Stanley to Williston hot
pace was maintained. The drivers
said that the roads we're the best in
this stretch that they had found and
that it was great relief indeed, as
through Minnesota and the eastern
part of North Dakota much mud had
been encountered. They left Stan
ley, the noon control, about 2 o'clock.
Left This Morning
Shortly after 1880 the tourists re-
sumed their run westward, the spe-
cial train pulling out about the same
time. Poplar, Montana, is the noon
control. The end Of Thursdays run
will be at Glasgow.

Cars Parked
The cars were parked in the square
in front of the Great Northern pas
senger station, where each reported
to the checker as they came in and
took their places in the line around
the lower edge of the square facing
the station. The drivers Immediate
lv busted themselves making few
repairs and adjustments, oiling up
etc.

DOES IT AGAIN

The fair weather gods certainly
have been keeping close tab on the
Williston band and evidently look
with disfavor upon that organization.
For the fourth time their picnic was

that they are going to abandon the
idea of holding a picnic, as if they
keep on, an Omaha cyclone will surely

MANY AUTOS WERE IN LINE

A few more than seventy-fiVe cars
were in the automobile parade Wed
nesday evening, arranged in honor OF
the Glidden tourists. There were sew
eral cars on the side streets which
did not get into line, and few turn
ed off at a side street before they
reached the point where the count
was taken. It was splendid show
ing. The parade was headed by the
Williston Band, which occupied five
Hup touring cars.
