Railroads Plan to Use Western Coal

An experimental station in charge of
department of the University of
North Dakota at Grand Forks, has
worked out a process which makes it
possible for railway engines to use lig-
mite coal. This development means
that Western railroads will use West
ern coal and this makes a market for
the immense deposits of coal in North
Dakota.
The Chicago and Northwestern and
Burlington railways are now making
practical tests upon forty locomotives
in actual service, and if in practice
proves up with laboratory tests, then
the. railways will be able to make great
saving in their fuel accounts.
Railroad coal in the western portion
Of these states and in western Nebraska,
Wyoming, and Colorado ranges from S.
to "a ton, while Ignite can be bought,
.at"this time, at $1.75 a ton.
The experiments are of great value
not only to the railroads operating in
the west, but also to the states of North
and South Dakota.

ure, and with tear-dimmed eyes shook
hands with the jurors. Judge Orr and
the newspaper men. 'There is going
