WHITE STAR JOINS

 QUEENSTOWN PORT

Queenstown, Ireland. Sept. 25-The White Star Liner Olympic, today, fol- lowed the example of the big Cunard Steamships and lshunned Queenstown harbor, where she had been hereto fore accustomed to anchor. It is therefore assumed that the White Star Company has concurred in the Gun ard Company's boycott of the port. Two hundred passengers and 1,500 sacks of mail were sent out on tenders to be transferred to the Olympic and much discomfort and delay were oc- casioned by a heavy swell which in terfered with the progress of the su- perannuated tenders.

CITY business men are matured, Val.
ley City will have at least two OF its
main business streets paved during
the season Of 1914.
In the past few weeks, since the
streets were torn up to install sewers,
water, telephone wires, and gas, there
has been the worst condition for traf-
&c in many years. The poorest roads
in the county have been boulevards
comparatively, and drive down main
street or Fifth avenue is like a trip
across plowed field.
This condition, of course is inciden-
tai to the improvements which have
been made, but members OF the city
council as well as property owners In
general, point out that now there will
be no need Of further digging or tear
ing up the thoroughfares for many
years, and that now, or at latest IN
the spring, will be an ideal time to
put the streets in permanent good con-
dition.
It is further pointed out, that Val

New Coal Mine Near
Wl||jSton Opened
INCREASE IN iiGNiTE SUPPLY
RESUlTS-OWNE HAVE A
FINE VEIN OF COAL.

Williston, N. d., Oct. 21.-A new
departure in coal mining in the Will
liston region has been made during
the past few weeks when the new
firm of Husebye & Ellithrope opened
up a mine on the first hill two miles
east Of the city.
The owners Of this mine found out
during the past summer that the coal
exposed at the east side of the hill
gave no true index of the quality Of
coal deep beneath the surface Of this
high ridge, but tnat underlying this
mass Of clay are two ten-foot veins
of the very best quality Of Ignite.
TO avoid the necessity OF digging
through a large quantity of worthless
weathered coal as we'll as to have
a down hill road the shortest distance
from Williston, Messrs. Husebye and
Ellithrope conceived the idea Of con.
structing shaft near the top Of the
hill and hosting the coal to the sur
face, thus reaching a fine quality Of
ccal Immediately from the nearest
point. This shaft, sixty feet deep, has
been made, steam machinery installed
for hosting, buildings erected for the
care Of miners and the new mine is
now getting out fine grade of lig'
mite coal

which would make such construction
cheaper than in almost any city in the
northwest. Just north of the city are
gravel pits, with literally oceans Of
sand and gravel, to be had for the
hauling, which form the largest and
most important part of the paving or
street making.
AS the streets are now, nearly a
foot would have to be taken off to
make them low enough, for paving,
but building up with gravel, filling in
with sand, and covering with cement
would make a street which would be
equal to that in any part of the
country.
While there has been no close esti-
mate made of the cost, a number Of
local business men have been inter-
viewed on the subject, and almost
without exception, they would gladly
have the improvement made, even If
it meant special assessment against
the property benefited.
It is probable that in the near future
there will be petitions circulated
among the business houses, looking to
the commencement Of work early In
the spring.

PERTINENT STATION AFTER
JAN. I, 1914

Thomas Cooper, secretary of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton which organization will become
part of the North Dakota Experiment
station after Jan. /, 1914, was yester"
day formally elected director of the
experiment station to succeed Pres.
John II. Worst Of the North Dakota
Agricultural College in that position,
to take effect at that time.
The regular meeting of the board OF
trustees of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college which also manages
the experiment station, was held yes
terday afternoon at the college.
President Worst rendered his formal
resignation as director of the expert
ment station at that time and it was
accepted, after appropriate resolutions
were adopted expressing appreciation
Of the great work President Worst hae
accomplished as the head of the ex-
pertinent station In the eighteen years
he has held the Office.
Secretary Cooper was authorized by
the board to assume his duties Jan. !,
which will give President Worst am
pie opportunity to prepare everything
the way he wants it for Mr.. Cooper's
assumption Of duty when he takes his
Office.
Both the college interests and the
Better Farming interests are quite
pleased with the arrangement for
with President Worst at the helm Of
the college and Mr.. Cooper at the
head of the experiment station, it
gives North Dakota the greatest work
ing force Of agricultural authorities in
the whole United States, which can.
not help but be pleasing to the entire
state and the northwest.
President Worst has been anxious
to be relieved OF this share Of the
work for some years as the growth
Of the college has demanded so much
more Of hts time that it has kept him
very crowded for even a moments
time for himself. The new arrange
ment is a happy solution to his
problem.
