NORTH DAKOTA LEADS IN COAL
MOSTLY IN WESTERN PART

A Grand Forks paper has this to say
about the coal resources of North Da-
kota:
THE timid persons who are given to
worrying over what we are going to do
when the present supply of coal is ex-
hausted, will doubtless cheer up when
the report of q commission for the
North Dakota University, upon the sub
ject of coal available for use in this
state, is published. Advance reports
from the geological survey section, show
that North Dakota coal fields cover an
area Of approximately $4,000 square
miles in the western eart Of the state
and the total tonnage OF workable coal
has been estimated al 500. 900. 600, 600
tons. No other state in the union has
so much coal as has North Dakota, and
few realize the vastness of the resouces
in that valuable mineral.
The development of western coal
will supply the western market wi irhout
the high freight charges now necessary
because of the long haul from the east
ern fields.
The development of the North Dakota
coal fields will also mean industrial
development for the state Already
North Dakota coal is being used in
Grand Forks by some of the largest con-
sumers and is giving satisfactory re-
suits, z:s-

E. McAdams and A. H. Larson. 1t also
mentioned that j. o. Mullaney had
been one of the most active men in the
settlement and development of Belfeld
during recent years. The Forum says
THE town of Belfield is one of the
rapidly growing towns of the common.
wealth. Six years ago it was hamlet
of three stores. with few scattering
houses and was only supply point for
the owners of the cattle and horse
ranches that abound in that vicinity.
Mature has decreed that such was
not to be it's permanent legacy. The
onward march of the stream of human
ity toward the west was destined to
come into the valley, and as result Of
their coming the town of Belfield threw
off the lethargy that had enveloped it
and proceeded to take its proper ylace
in the states galaxy of growing cities.
The growth was positively wonder
full. To the small nucleus the people were
drawn and now 800 people claim a
home in the confines of the town. This
in six years is remarkable. The growth
of the business interests kept pace with
the population and the three stores grew
10 eight general stores. The incoming
people titled the soil and nature blessed
their efforts and four elevators are
necessary to care for the growth of the
agricultural products. ....-....
1.-THE benefits Of organized efforts
were appreciated by the people and a
live Commercial Club sprang into being
to assist in the drawing of more people
into the golden circle of which the town
is the center.
During the past year prosperity has
come to the people and two banks are
necessary to care for the gold that
pours into the town in payment for the
grain. cattle, horses and other products
that fill the trains of the Northern Pa
cific.
-Four elevators. five lumber yards,
two hotels. eight general stores, two
livery stables. two banks, Two drug
stores, two butcher shops and several
other smaller business houses are all
doing prosperous business, while a
live, up-to-date newspaper keeps the
people supplied with the news of the
world. The education of the rising
generation has not been neglected and
q fine school with competent Instructors
is filled with bright scholars each day
of the school year.
"Belfield has bright future and as
the country around about develops. es-
pecially the Ignite mining industry,
it will assume commercial importance
enough to become one of the thriving
cities of the state.

MRS. W. +. eoBIus RETuR Ms
TO HOLLAND next week

The coming week MIR. and Mrs. W.
F. Gobius and little daughter will leave
for New York from which city the wife
Faad daughter sail for Harlem, Hol-
land, the native home of Mrs. Gobius
After attending to some business mat
tiers Mr.. Gobius will return to Stark
county to look after the interests of the
Holland-Dakota Landbouw Co. until
some one is secured to take his position
as the American representative of the
company.
Mrs. Gobius came to Belfeid two
years ago and during her short stay in
the country she has made many very
pleasant acquaint ances who regret that
she has decided to return to Holland.
Our climate has been beneficial to the
health of Mrs. Gobius and especially to
the daughter who was but year old
when she came to America.
Mr.. G0bius came to Stark county a
year in advance of his family. He de-
cided some time ago that he would re-
turn to Holland. but it is not an easy
matter for the Holland Dakota Land
bouw Co. to get the services of suit
able representative for their extensive
business interests here and it is likely
that Mr.. Gobius will remain during the
spring and summer. The Company has
IS. 600 acres of land in Stark and Bill
lings counties and the improved farms
are rented. It was in February of 1910,
that the company bought the land and so
far none of the holdings have been
offered for sale. The Holland Dakota
Landbouw Co. look upon land as beingthe
safest investment in the world and the
stockholders are content to wait for the
advance in price which will eventual
ly come.

The Bachelor Club

The members of the Bachelor Club
were getting settled this week in their
new quarters, formerly, the A. H. Arnett
residence. The Bachelor Club has been
in existence since December. 1911,
and the boys enjoy the fact that they
share. at least. the management and
support of a household and they are
making success of it.
The former Arnett home-spacious
and convenient-will make good quarters
for the young men, as many of them
will be able to room there. and the
location is desirable. The club now has
about 20 members who share equally
the expense of maintaining home
for themselves. Each of the boys is
furnishing his own room but the other
house furnishings are paid for from the
general fund. The object of the club is
a home for the boys and food like
mother used to make.
The club has the following members

BEACH WAS TRIMMED
BY DICKINSON TEAM

The high school basketball team of
Beach lost to Dickinson last Friday
night to the tune of SO to IL. and of
the points made by the visitors but
or 2 were field goals. Our boys had
been defeated by point in game on
the Beach floor and some people were
looking for close return game at the
armory but it proved to be considerably
one sided.
w. j. Orchard was referee for the
first half of the game while Mr.. Whipple
of the Beach school umpired. For the
last half the order was reversed.
Beach has one player who is almost
invincible in making baskets from the
field but he was so carefully covered by
the local players that he could not make
any showing. The visitors guarded
Roquelte most carefully and kept him
from making too many baskets. but
while they were following this player
about the hall McCutchan picked up IA
field goals and all of the local players
made points.
The Dickinson players were McCutchan
Roquette. Nichlos, Soules. Wiley and
Parker. Z
The 7th and 9Th grade boys were on
the floor for the preliminaries and were
quite evenly matched, the score stand
ing s to 4 in favor of the 7th Graders.
Lyall Merry refereed the aame.
For,the 7th Grade Herbert Toole, Monte
McCutchan. Cyril Drury, Ronald Dundas
and Wolf Guon played. The 9Th grade
team was composed Of Frank Richards,
Judson Stanton, Harold Parker. George
Butler. Ted Rudiselle and Harold Hill.

DANCE and
BANQUET
Given at Armorys April 11th. Com
mittee Hope to Raise s1,eee.
Opportunity for all to
Contribute.

The hospital ball and banquet for the
benefit of St. Joseph's hospital will be
given in the armory on Friday night.
April nth.
1t will be one of the pleasantest so
cial functions of the season and is
given in most worthy cause.
As many of our readers already know
St. Joseph's hospital cost about $780,.
600 and the citizens of Dickinson guar
anteed to raise $40, 600 of this amount.
So far the amount paid in is but S13. 600
and the object Of the hospital ball on
the nth of April is to raise at least
$1,000 to be applied on the sum still
due.
The ladies of St. Patrick's church
have pledged themselves to raise ST.
600. They furnish the banquet which
will be served the people in the armory
building and will see that everyone
who attends the dance has good time.
The Commercial Club has donated the
use of its rooms for the occasion. and
those who do not care to dance can
spend the evening at cards and other
amusement.
St. Joseph's hospital is an institution
of which the people are proud. 1t is
needed for this portion of the state and
those who have not been asked for a
donation will now have the opportunity
of helping in a good cause. People
who have already subscribed to the hos
pital fund will be glad of the opportun-
ity of contributing again.
The tickets are sold at SIS each. The
purchaser gets two banquet tickets.
If living at distance send your
check for $5 to some member of the So
liciting committee and get hospital
ticket. 1t will be the right thing to do,
and everyone should be glad of an op-
portunity to assist in a cause like this.
The following ladies are acting as the
soliciting committee and are meeting
with very generous responses: Mes
danes w. A. Shaw, w. A. Mcclure. L.
A. Simpson, S. L. Carroll, j. F. Brodie.
Ed. Hughes, L. fl. Rudiselle, H. l..

Tor March 18th, for which purpose Sher-
III George Brown will summon 36
Jurors within the next few days. The
regular term comes on the third Tues
day in May which is very busy time

better to call special term for this
month. In order to give plenty of time
for the 60 cases on the calendar, Judge
Crawford has put the regular term of
Adams court over a week. or until April
9Th. There does not appear to be any
specially important criminal cases to be
tried now in Stark.
During the past week Judge Craw-
ford has been attending to court work.
The McClosky- Burgess matter was argued
and taken under advisement by the
court. Attorneys L. A. Simpson and
W. F. Burnett were given until Satur-
day to submit additional briefs if they
desired.
The Hughes VS.. Collins matter. a
land commission case from BelReld,
was decided in favor of defendant.
Attorney r. H. Yaeck was up from
Richardton to look after business before
the court. j. X. Swihart of Medora and
r. M. Andrews of Beach were also in
attendance.
Jacob Hopp pleaded guilty to raising
check and was sentenced to 30 days
in Jail and a fine of $50.
