GOVERNMENT GUARDS RADluM
Process Of Obtaining Precious Sub.
stance Is Kept Secret-onIy Two
Grams in Country.

Denver, Colo..-A small building
looking like a machine shop and so un-
pretentious that a passerby would not
give it a second glance, Is being care
fully guarded just now. 1t is the fac
tory from which the United States
Government Is soon to get its first
public-owned radium-the wonder
working mineral which is one of the
most precious substances in the world.
Tons of high-grade carnotite ore.
from which radium is obtained, have
been sent from the Paradox Valley
field in Colorado and loaded into the
Denver factory. Most of this ore has
gone through the first process. The
experts working for the Government
have evolved secret method which.
it is said. VIII greatly simplify and
cheaper radmm production. The proc
ess is zealously guarded. No outsider
has been allowed to set foot in the
building since the machinery was in
stalled.
The. governments laboratory at
Denver was established because il was
said the foreign "radium trust" was
buying up radium lands in Colorado
and Utah and corneiing the visible
supply of radium-bearing ores. Legis-
lation now pending makes it obligatory
for the prospector who discovers such
ores to give the Government the first
chance to buy what he has to sell.
Radium is obtained from both carno-
tite and pitchblende deposits, pitch
blende having been the first ore in
which radium was discovered. Colo
rado possesses valuable pitchblende
deposits. The land Office at Grand
junction has been fairly overrun with
location of radium claims since the
first of the year.
1t takes thousands Of tons of ore to
make one gram of radium. gram is
approximately one five-hundredth of a
pound and the price of $115000 gram
is the lowest at which radium can be
purchased. 1t was reported recently
that there were but two grams in the
United States. Considerable raGum
has been produced in Europe. The
substance has many uses in science
and medicine. which will be greatly
increased when there is a plentiful
supply.

$50 to only 100. The only mine so
far intact is the Tilden, where the old
force of about $50 men is still en-
ployed.
In the lumber camps north of the
city wages have been reduced to SIG
a month, and board, from last Mon
day. The men all went on strike
against this, but when they came to
town and found no work here they
returned to the camps, where they
were told that other men had already
been hired. All this leaves large
idle element here.

Work the ONLY Nav.

In England the war has brought to
poverty large number of persons
who were formerly well to do. Their
tragedy is the result of calamity
that no one could foresee. No par
ent can be certain that his children
may not some day come to poverty.
There is no guarantee against 1t. The
best insurance is to teach them to
work. Probably the best asset any
youth can have is the ability to cul-
tivate the SOIL That Is the most
permanent and universal of trades.

THE PRICE OF PROGRESS.
Every Great Invention Brings With
II New Evil.


Apparently every new invention
brings with 1t some evil. The British
Medical Journal points out that
among distinctively modern diseas-
es are the poisoning produced by the
fumes OF calcium carbide of acety-
enc: the headache, DYSPEPSIA, cardiac
failure and sensory disturbances
traceable to the manufacture and use
of aniline dyes; the frothing of the
blood, known as caisson disease
which follows too rapid decompres-
sion in workers at the foundations
of bridges; the functional neurosls
known as telegrapher's cramp, re-
sulting from the use Of the Morse
key. and the numerous affections of
the skin, lungs, digestive tract and
eyes due to Irritation by organic or
inorganic dusts Of industrial origin.

County Politics
Is Warming Up
The Political Situation as Told
by Dur County Exchanges
This Week

G. w. McGray of this city is
being strongly urged by his
friends to become a candidate
for senator. If influence enough
could he brought about to cause
him to accept it would put a
quietus to the anxiety now being
in evidence for a strong candi-
date to head the ticket. His can
didacy would meet with the
hearty approval of the voters,
Mr.. McGray's friends are not
only confined locally but ex-
tends throughout the county.
He is a thorough business man,
we'll versed with the needs of the
county and state and no better
man could be selected to represent
the county in the senate. It is

1913 Motor Vehicle
Registration Ended
Records Show Increase Over
1912 of 4075 Autoes and
443 Cycles.

The ending of the year 1918
sees the closing of the Motor
Vehicle Registration account at
the office of Thomas Hall, sec
retary Of state, and the records,
now completed show the follow
ing:
Automobiles 1905, motor cy-
cles 9l3; total receipts $42, ,013.O0.
Total paid out to counties for
good roads $35, ,O06.43; expense
Of tags, mailing, ETC., $7,006.57.
OF the above totals, Mclean
county has received $49S.32 dur
ing the year and is credited with
179 automobiles and l9 motor
cycles.
The new tag for 1914 will be
of canary yellow with black
numerals, and will be ready for
delivery this month. 1t will be
remembered that in the purch-
aSe OF new tags, ABOUT $1UUO was
saved over the price paid for the
proceeding years supply.
Already a large number OF APP
plications have been received at
the office Of the Secretary of
State for 1914 registration. This
is accounted for by the wonder
fully warm winter weather, which
leaves the roads in fine shape
for use by motorists. Application

WILL TEST STATUTES
OF BERTHOLD RESERVE

Ryder, N. D., Jan. 10.-To test
the legal statutes Of the Berthold
reservation an action tried here
before Justice Engdahl will be
carried to the state supreme
court. Editor Larin Of the Jour
nal sued B. A. Dickinson, a local
attorney, and secured judgment.
The latter will appeal. He con-
tends that the reservation is at
present unorganized territory and
has no civil courts, therefore the
service of the papers on him was
illegal.
With a decision in this case the
settlers will then know where
they are at and can determine
what action is necessary to estab-
lish a new county. II found to
be combined with other counties
surrounding the reservation, they
will seek county division. If the
court determines the territory is
unorganized new county will be
established. The test case is ex-
pected to clear up the points on
which light is wanted.
Those who advocate new
county claim the territory is unor
ganized and that the counties
surrounding it have violated the
states enabling act in extending
their boundaries to cover the
reservation, as it is specifically
stated in the act that the state
valves all right ii Indian lands
until title shall pass from the
United States, or in other words
till thrown open for settlement.
Not only is the decision in this
case Of great interest to the people
|of this section but also to those
around the Turtle Montain, the
Fort Totten and the Standing
rock reservation and it : q
matter that should have been car.

BRICK ORDERED FOR TWO
BANKS ALONG LINE

l. - t Ar
There certainly is something
solid and substantial behind the
Mercer county boom. Recently
several thousand brick were or
dersd by the Adam Hannah
banking concern Of Minneapolis
for the erection Of two substan-
tial buildings along the Spring
Greek line Of the N. p. west from
Stanton one at Hazen the other
at Olanta or Golden Valley. The
buildings will be erected just as
soon as possible and it is to be
hoped they are the vanguard Of
. whole: host to be erected during
the season which promises to be
so prosperous for that communi-
ty.
At the same time Mr.. Ham

'ments to secure brick for two
more buildings for the same CON

states attorney, also F. O'Hare
of Garrison will be a candidate
for that office. Mr.. Williams
has served as a state representa-
tive and as far as we know is a
good man. Mr.. O'Hare has
lived for several years i'll the
village Of Garrison and is well
acquainted and favorably known
throughout the county. Of Mr..
O'Hare we ourselves know prac-
tically nothing, he served as as
sistant states attorney under j. E
Melon one year. We suppose
that Mr.. Maennel our present
states attorney will also be a
candidate for reelection to that
office. There are several in the
race for clerk Of court, of these
people we have lost their names.
but one Of them comes from be-
tween Dogden and Ruso, another
is assistant cashier Of the First
National Bank at Garrison. I'm
doubtedly the office of clerk Of
court needs a change and airing.
Mr.. Hanson has certainly held
that office long enough. So keep
your eyes open and try to look
over the field unprejudictly. Do
not depend too much on a man s
politics, but remember that his
politics will have nothing to do
with his making a county official
but the man and not his politi-
cal affiliations.-Benedict Banner

POLITICAL, SITUATION IN
MCLEAN co. COMPLICATED

Politics III Mclean County
have commenced to warm up
considerable during the past
week. We have read articles in
the Bismarck Tribune purport-
ing to set forth the political sit
uation in this county and numer-
Gus articles in the press of the
county, relative to the merits Of
the candidates for the offices and
we have about come to the con-
clusion that if all the people up
for the various offices that are
supposed to be candidates for
them, the primary election ballot
will look like a county directory.
For Sheriff there are supposed
to be five candidates in the. field,
and for states attorney there are
six, according to latest reports,
As to who actually intend to be-
come candidates for the office Of
sheriff and states attorney we
have no reliable information, but
we have it from pretty good
authority that Alex Miller. the
county commissioner from this
district, intends to announce
himself for sh ,liff on the repub-
lican ticket, and that H. F..
O'Hare of Garrison will announ-
ce himself for states attorney.
Mr.. Miller has been twice ell
ected county commissioner from
this district and he has perform
ed the duties of his office in an
efficient and contentious man
ner, and we believe that if he is
elected sheriff, he will perform
the duties of his office honestly
and faithfully.
Mr.. O'Hare who We under
stand will run for states attor-
ney, was assistant states attor-
ney of Mclean count during
j. E. Nelson s term of office and
is thoroughly familiar with the
work of the office, and we can
see no reason why he would not
make a good states attorney for
this county. He has practiced
law in Garrison for the past six
years with success and while as
sistant states attorney made a
good record for himself. Hon.
esty and efficiency are two
things we have a right to require
of our public officials, and poll
tics in this day and age has
reached the stage where the
voter insists upon knowing the
character and reputation of the
man for whom he is going to
vote, and it is as it should be-

EVERY COUNTY WILL
HAVE A RAILROAD

WIN the ADVENT OF spring
every county in the state will
have a railroad line. Dunn coun
ty is the only one that has not
yet been invaded by the steel
rails, but the grading has been
completed for the line which
could easily have been laid had
the railroad officials any idea the
weather conditions would have
been so favorable. Mckenzie
county, the only other one with
out railroad last year, secured
the Great Northern line last fall.
| The fact that there are rail
roads in all counties but one
does not mean, however, that all
the county seats are on the rail
road lines. Sherbrooke in Steele
county, Center in Oliver, Mannin
in Dunn and Schafer in Nc
Kenzie are still without railway
connections.
I! Sherbrooke has been making an
effort for many years to secure
line. Steele county has had a
branch Of the Great Northern for
nearly a score Of years but it
did not run in the direction of
Sherbrooke. Efforts to remove
the county seat have been trust
rated by the rivalry Of Finley
and Hope. The Midland Cont
mental may now invade Sher-
brooke during the summer. =.
Center in Oliver onnty was not
reached by the extension Of the
Northern Pacific north from
Mandan. The line three years
ago struck the east side Of the
county and left Center still out
on the prairie.
The Northern Pacific extnsion
into Dunn county this year will
be stopped at Dunn Center and
will not reach Manning. An eff
fort will no doubt then be made
to have the county seat removed
is the physical center Of the
county.
Schafer will get the Great Nor,
thern during the coming year
and it is reported the county
seat fight between Schafer and
Alexander may be removed.
To overcome the present situa-
ton in Oliver and Dunn counties
some business men of Manning
have. line constructed from MAJ
ming via Center to Mandan. It
would reach good section Of
!. the county and would save Man
ming the danger Of a county seat
fight. Center does not fear a
fight as the railroad now operat-
ed through the county is over
on the eastern edge.

Ignite Successfully
Kind Of Stove and Furnace and
Conditions of Fuel Giving the
Best Results

Best Results
A vastly greater amount Of
Ignite would be in demand, LIST,
if stoves and boiler CRATES were
on the market which were bett-
er adapted to Ignite; End, min
ing companies would put their
coal on the market in more suit

and growing amount of Ignite
being used in this state, Montana
Wyming, South Dakota and othe
northwestern as well as southern
Ignite producing states. The
deposits are so extensive, not
only in this but other states,
that it is designated to become
the most used fuel in these
regions within few years.
As to stoves and furnaces; the
consumer of Ignite goes to a
local dealer for a stove and is
sold one adapted to soft coal
the only one on the market.
Poor results follow and Ignite
becomes unpopular, for no real
reason. A sligtly modified stove

Ignite more popular when once

popular size. A coal crusher must
be operated at every mine to

for a stove and boiler CRATE es-
pecially adapted to- Ignite.
AS to the type of construction
required by this fuel, we have
found that simple stove is salts

as Ignite is flashy' fuel, like

dopes out for column or two
the political aspect in Mclean
county. The writer evidently
tried to please everybody because
every possible nameswas brought
into the article, with the ex-
ception of "Mike" Tellefson Of
Garrison. In the article, Mike is
styled .'the opposition" and is
reported to be making little
headway before the strong, vote
compelling Hanson, the present
clerk Of court who will go before
the voters at the primaries for
reelection.
= It cant be possible that the
writer thought he could fool any
body; if he did he must already
be ashamed of the effort. Mike
is not talked of" now for clerk
Of court; he is running, and as
assistant cashier of the First
State Bank here permit, he is
letting the voters know it.
Now that John e. Williams Of
Turtle Lake has announced him
self possible candidate for
states attorney, O'Hare of this
city, will have strong opposition.
This makes three-cornered
fight, with Maennel at Wash
burn, O'Hare at Garrison and
Williams, Turtle Lake. Williams
is undoubtedly good man, whose
uprightness is unquestioned.
Maennel is sure to have bitter
opposition in Washburn, where
the King and others are dissatis-
fled with his handling Of the An
derson murder case. Outside Of
Washburn where feeling over
the trial was not so keen, he may
g,t a fair quota of votes.
As for 0 Hare, the voters Of the
county all know him. He was the
central figure in the bitter county
division which resulted in the
formation of Stevenson county,
and his old-time opponents in the
part.of.the.c ouny will indebted
;ly be nable to see his candidacy
lin the right igth. However, a
man who has enemies must GER
tainly have loyal friends, and
they will work for him in every
precinct Of the county. O'Hare
served as assistant states attor-
ney when j. E. Nelson held Of
flee, and he has the practical
knowledge Of affairs in the office
| to enable him to adequately fill
lit. More than this, he has been
| . practicing attorney in Garri-
son for over ten years and should
an important trial ONE up, the
county would have no cause to
fear that it's side Of teh case
would be- bungled.
