corning any fusion between the
two parties, that as individuals
there would be no use whatever
TO discuss the matter, but be-
fore any discussion would take
place officially the Progressives
would have TO bring their organ

then discuss the matter.
Since the Progressives are not

There is a freight differental of lac
in favor OF MedOra over other Ignite
coal shipped to Beach which Mr.. Mich
olsols finds to be a large item in his
favor and he is supplying about every
thing up there. In shipping to Dickin-
son he has a handicap Of 13c but IN
spite Of this he is able to meet the
prices of the older coal companies.
His mine is possibly the most econo
mically operated Of any In the state.
He has nc expensive machinery or
buildings and the miners work by the
ton. Miss Mary Follis looks after the
books in the Nichols home, which is
the only Office force
Some may think that the fire in
the coal on the west side Of the great
hill will work back in a short time
and destroy the entire vein. This will
not be the case at all. The fire line is
not more than 3 to 4 inches thick.
1t shoulders and the amount burned
in years is scarcely preceptable.
Nels Nichols has ben in the stock
business all his life ASSOCIATED with
John Britt and still has 200 or more
horses. When he filed his homestead
on the hill forming the fireat east wall
of Medora people thought him crazy.
In making homestead proof he arrang-
ed with Uncle Sam for the absolute
purchase of any coal lands that he
might wish to work commercially at
$40 per acre. He has a preference
right, and will take over blocks of 10
acres for mining as he needs.
The Medora coal finds a ready mar
ket everywhere but for a few weeks
yet it will be impossible to supply it
in large quantities in Dickinson where
c. S. Langdon recently accepted the
agency. He is able to place
one and two ton lots which gives the
people an opportunity 0 frying it out.
accurate demonstration, it is said,
that Medora coal is shown to contain
much smaller per centage of water

people get more for their money.

G.. N. TO BUILD

RUMoR TO THAT EFFECT START
WHEN sUPT. cATHcART PUR.
cHAsEs NATIONAL HOTEL.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 25.-After nine
years, during which Kalispall has
been gazing with anxious eyes at the
Great Northern, hoping that the latter
would again put the city on the map
of the Hill lines, an event has trans
pired which leads to the belief that
this very thing may be done in the
near future.
State Tax Commissioners George
NJ. IHoutz returned from Kalispell,
and brought to Helena the informa-
ton that Supt. Catchcart who has
had charge Of the hotels in Glacier
park has purchased the National no.
tel in the metropolis Of Flathead
county.
This fact has given rise to the
rumor that the Great Northern road
has reconsidered it's past conduct,
and has determined to again include
kalispell on its line. The proximity
of Kalispell to Glacier park it's acces-
sible location as a starting point for
tourists who desire to see the WON
ders Of this famous preserve, and
other reasons all figure in the argu-
ments that the Hill roads may again
connect up Kalispell with its main
line.
1t was nine years ago that the
Great Northern road concluded to am
putate Kalispell. The track was torn
up from Marion, west to Jennings.
and the right of way has been used
between these two points as a wagon
road ever since.

MEDORA COAL
+. MINED Again
NELS NICHOLS CLAIMS THE ONLY
kILNDRiED Ignite IN STATE.
Has DAY AND NIGHT CREWS.

Dickinson Press: Kiln-dried coal j.
claimed for the product mined from
the Nels Nichols mine on the south
western out skirts Of the village o
Medora. A visit to the mine proves
the assertion.
In company with C. s. Langdon, 10
cal agent for Medora coal in Dickin
son, a Press representative accepted
the invitation of Mr.. Nichols to visit
the mine and see Ignite coal which
is gaining such a favorable reputa
ton throughout this portion of the
state. -
1t will be remembered that Jim Bra.
dy tried to get an entrance to the
Nichols mine from the west a year
ago and after pushing into the hill
for $40 feet he encountered "a real
burning coal mine and had to retreat
in quick order. The timbers in the
entrance were burned and much dirt
caved in. An inspection of this aban-
doned entrance shows that the clay
walls have been burned very hard,
baked the same as clay in the brick
kiln. ri.
A visit to the old entrance a few
rods further north reveals a scene
rarely found in any country-a burn.
ing coal mine. The mouth of this 100
foot entrance emits heat and smoke
day and night.
State Geologist Babcock has esti-
mated that the Nichols homestead will
easily produce I, 400, 900 tons of mineo
coal from the top vein and for some
years it has been a very tempting
held to old miners. But they all en-
countered the pent up fire after get
ting into the hill a little over 100 feet
and finally abandoned the project.
Finally the owner of the claim decided
to try mining a little and started an
entrance at the southeast corner of
his land. In the first place he had
to buy eight acres of Mrs. Margaret
Roberts to enable him to get a Jas
sage from the main line of the North.
ern Pacific to his land.
The Nichols vein of Ignite coal is
10 feet deep and is 25 to 30 feet above
the river level and has 275 feet of
dirt over it. Sixty feet below there is
a 20 foot vein and above the vein
worked is a smaller one. MY
AS soon as the miners had gotten
their entrance well into the hill they
found a very tough coal, perfectly dry.
The rooms being worked are $50 feet
from the fire and yet the temperature
ranges around 70 to 80 degrees. The
coal is run to the mouth of the mine
in regular mine cars where the tipple
throws it into the wagons and it is
hauled 600 feet to the railroad cars.
The N. P. crew was expected this
week to put in 450 feet of spur track
which will reach to the mine entrance.

used at the mine and as soon as more
rooms are opened more men, will be
employed and the daily output in

VISITS
STATES PRISON

Kindred Tribune: The Old Man
was in Bismarck last week and while
there visited the state penitentiary.
Mr.. Talcott seems to be the right
man for the position of warden. He
has everything Systematically arrang-
ed and the routine of the penitentiary
is steady as clock work. The Irvine
plant is running at full capacity and
is working overtime. The ~convicts
receive 10 cents an hour for over
time and this fund is theirs to use
as wished. There are 100 spindles
in the plant and every available man
is used in this department. We we're
shown through all the different de-
partments and were much impressed
with the institution. The kitchens,
dining room, chapel, laundry, sewing
room, reading room, etc, were all
neat, clean and showed that they
were all under careful inspection.
The poultry yards contain about a
thousand chickens and turkeys of diff
ferent varieties and the receipts from
the same cut down the expense of
maintaining the tables. Mr.. Talcott
has i~naugurated a system whereby at
the close Of each day he can tell ex-
actly what the cost percapita was
for each one, This includes not only
what the convicts, but guards and
members of the warden's family and
his assistants use. All products rails
ed on the farm and consumed there
are charged to the expense account
and we were much surprised to find
that or Thanksgiving, as an illustra-
ton, when turkeys, which were rails
ed on the farm, but which the ex.
pense account of, was charged to the
farm, as we'll as all the other items,
consisting of vegetables, etc, were a.
large part of the days food supply
that the cost was only 81 cents each
for the day. On other days the cost
runs as low as 19 cents. Mr.. Jacob
son, the deputy%warden, is an affable
gentleman and fits we'll into the posi-
ton. The prisoners think a great
deal of the staff and there is appar-
emily no hitch@in the daily routine.
We were informed that the Irvine
plant last year made a net profit Of
$4,000 and could today take up ev-
cry indebtedness on the same. In
addition to the Irvine plant the insti-
tuition farms several hundred acres
and the cost Of maintenance is there's
by greatly reduced. The methods
employed now are much different
when we visited the institution
~ years ago and found the convicts
employed by the N. D. Harness Co.,
and the Bismarck brick yards, at a
wage which failed to pay for their
maintenance. The state ~penitentiary
is one of u largest institutions and
us emclent mana cement is not only
a credit to- U state, but is a %criteri-
on Tor others to follow. The city of
Bismarck is a progressive one and it's
citizens are a hustling bunch.

SPECIAL WINTER
Term PLANNED
SEVERAL INTERESTING FEATURES
FOR THE GLENDALE
Nj SCHOOL.

Glendale, N. D., Dec. 25.--The winter
term of the state normal and industrial
school begins January 5 and 6. Extensive
care of the large number of young men
who will come for farm engineering and
business courses. About $1,000 worth >of
farm engines and machinery have been
added to the equipment OF the scnool
making possible more practical and
thorough courses than ever before. An
additional teacher has been employed in
the mechanic arts department, making
-four teachers in that department tf the
school.
President Willis e. jackson visited tue
high school at Cakes December is, and
addressed the students. He reports the
schools there in splendid condition. 1t is
probable that Superintendent Clarcnc. L.
Blulney will be secured as one Of the
teachers in the summer school.
The fall term closed December 10,
Fifty students were found deserving OF
the gold monogram school pin by reason
of having earned an average of 80 per
cent or more in all Of their classes. The
presentation of the pins was made at
chapel exercises.
Miss Jennie Harnsberger Of Prescott,
Wis, is the new teacher Of art subjects.
Miss 11arnsberger has had Intensive
training and excellent experience, and
will add great strength to the school,
Miss Ida NJ. Chambers has resigned TO
accept the position Of supervisor Of tbs
drawing in the. schools Of Duluth.
Two. basketball games have been play
ed recently, one with the Kuhn city team
and the other with the Ildgeley high
school. Both games resulted in victories
for the normal and industrial school
team, the former score being 20 to Is,
and the latter 35 to II. Coach SWeetland
has scheduled thirteen games to be play
ed during the text term.
"A new program has been provided for
next term, so planning the work that
mechanic art students and students in
some of the laboratory classes may have
full halliday sessions, thus avoiding the
waste Of time when work of this kind
is given only two consecutive hours. It
is believed that this plan will increase
the efficiency Of the departments very
materially. ,,Ak .eys,4s
