Ignite Mines
Incorporate
For $2oo,Ooo.oo. New Company
Will be in Position to Handle
Any Size Contract in
The State.

The largest and most important trans
action that has ever taken place in the
state involving coal mining has just
been closed here by the incorporation of
the Dakota Ignite Mines Company,
capitalized at $500. 600 to take on the
operation Of the Zenith and Pittsburg
mines.
The inc0rp0ratOrs and officers of the

ent.
Officers are being established in the
Jessen building opposite the postofice.
The retail business will be handled from
both the new city Office and at the old
stand opposite the freight depot.
The Zenith mines were established
twelve years ago at Zenith, II miles
west of Dickinson, by Ex-Mayor Henry
Truelson and Hansen EvSmith, then of
Duluth, but now of Zenith and Fargo
respectively. The Pittsburg mines
are located at Pittsburg four miles east
Of Dickinson and have been operated by
the Dakota Fuel Company, with which
Messrs. Richards. Deiters and Pelton
are connected.
The mines of the Dakota Ignite
Mines Company will have a daily ca
pacity of 1000 tons which can on short
notice be increased to 1000 tons per
day. The company will be in position
to reduce cost Of production and ex-
pense Of marketing and thus be able to
meet all competition and contingencies
within its territory.
Mr.. Richards is president of the Mer-
chants National bank and one of the
best known business men west of the
Missouri river. = ..'
9 MI. Tfuelson, as manager Of the Zenith
mine for the hast twelve years, is
well and fayoEahly known here.
Mr.. Deiters is one Of our best known
active young business men and is

ness. MIR. Pelton is equally well known
and has been connected with Ignite
coal mining for many years.
Hansen EvSmith. the vice president
Of the new company, is we'll known to
many Of our residents by reason Of his

another step in the growing importance
of Dickinson as a center for the big
business of this section of the state.

terday noon at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Klatt,
occurred the ceremony uniting in mar
riage Mr. Robert NJ. McGraw and Miss
Minnie Klatt Rev. Edward Burns
Martin, pastor of the Methodist church,
officiating, using the beautiful ring
service. The bridal couple, who were
unattended, stood beneath an arch of
greenery as the magic words were pro-
nounced The brides gown was a
beautiful original design in shadow
lace over white silk, and she carried a
shower bouquet of roses.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the guests gave expression of their
good wishes, after which. the company
partook of a dainty four-course lun-
cheon. Mr.. and Mrs. McGraw imme-
diately thereafter left by auto for
Delta, from which point they took the
train for Grand Junction. After a
tour of the East which will take them
to Baltimore, Washington, Virginia
and the boyhood home of the groom
in Perryville, Md, they will be at
home at Castle Gate. Utah.
The principals in this important
event enjoy the high esteem of host
of friends. Mrs. McGraw was reared
to womanhood in Paonia, as gradu-
ate of the local high school and the
State college at Greeley, and for two
years occupied positions of impor-
tance in the Paonia and Somerset
schools. Her husband was recently
promoted from the position of super
intendent of the Somerset workings of
the Utah Fuel company to similar
office at the larger mines in Castle
Gate. The heartiest good wishes of
all Paonians follow these worthy young
people, the only regret being that they
are to establish their home at dis
tance from their Paonia friends and
relatives.

The large number .. beautiful and
useful gifts from friends here and

FAMOUS LANDMARKS SAFE

Salem, Mass.-Nearly half the "Old
Witch City" of Salem, rich in historic
buildings and tradition, was devastated
Thursday by fire that caused an esti-
mated loss of S20,O0O,O00; destroying
1000 buildings, including score Of
manufacturing establishments, and
made 10000 of the $4,000 residents
homeless.
The fire originated in the Kern
Leather Factory, swept through the
shoe and leather manufacturing dis
trict, running every building in a curv-
ing path two miles long and more than
a half-mile wide.
Burning embers, carried by a strong
northwest wind, started fires in two
other sections, the fashionable resi-
dental district adjacent to Lafayette
street and a manufacturing and tena-
ment house district on the peninsula
bounded by Palmers Cove, South
River and the waterfront.
Landmarks Saved.
Late in the evening brands kindled
fourth fire in the plant of the Salem
Oil Company in Mason street, north
west of the Essex county courthouse.
A terrific explosion occurred when the
oil tanks blew up and showers of
sparks fell threateningly on a part of
the town that before had not been in
imminent danger. This fire, however,
was checked after it had destroyed the
oil company's plant and thirteen
houses.
When the flames were gotten under
control, all the historic and literary
landmarks had escaped destruction.
These included the Peabody Museum,
Essex Institute, Old Custom House,
where Nathaniel Hawthorne did much
of his literary work and The House
of the Seven Gables, made famous by

Washington.-Stirred to action by
the apparent freedom with which the
doings Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee in consideration of the Mic

been published from day to day, sew
eral senators agreed on a resolution
asking for authority to subpoena sen.
ators and Washington correspondents
to an inquiry to determine how the
proceedings of the committee-which
are supposed to be especially secret
get out.
Chairman Stone introduced the res.
olution, and 1t was referred to a stand
ing committee which decides on the
expense involved in such investiga-
tons. 1t is expected that the Senate
will pass it. With the resolution
Chairman Stone read into the Con-
gressional Record this statement:
"All newspaper reports of what has
occurred in the Committee on For
eign Relations in its proceedings re-
garding the Nicaraguan and Colon
bian treaties are unauthorized and in
accurate and are, moreover, unworthy
of belief, because whoever gave out
the alleged information betrayed the
confidence of the committee and gov
eminent and deliberately violated his
word of honor"
mo man upon that committee" de-
clared the Senator to his colleagues,
''can give out the confidential bust
ness of the committee except he has
upon him the brand of absolute dis.
honesty and betrayal" He added that
he regarded the disclosures of what
had taken place behind closed doors
"a disgraceful performance" The
committee probably will endeavor to
cross-examine its own members, and
may decide to go into broad inquiry
that will reach out through the Sen
ate. Under the resolution the com
mittee may summon newspaper men
and attempt to learn where they OBJ
tanned their information about the two
treaties.
Evidence that all senators do not
entirely approve the idea that the

who is not member of the Foreign
Relations Committee. He offered q
resolution that all senators be fur

mony before the committee on the

One result of the days develop
