cleaner more even, better coal in any
grade than is possible with the old
method Of handling.
The coal that comes to this plant
comes direct from the mines in what
are termed hopper" ears. The
tracks run right into the plant and
the coal is dumped on what is termed
the hopper track. From here the
coal is carried by mechanical convey
er up a low incline and distributed 10
the proper bin. When the coal is
dropped into the bin it is not dropped
from an extreme height to the bottom
of the bin, which would cause con-
siderable breakage. but it is carried
down lightly, or to express it tech

QUICK ARREST.

Chief Blake of Weyburn, Sask., was
in Minot last Friday and took back
with him a runaway boy whom the
Minot police had picked up on infor-
nation received. Sunday he was here
again and took back with him a fellow
by the name of George Smith, who on
last Thursday held up the proprietor
of pool hall in Weyburn and relieved
him of about $40 and made his get
away without the officials gekting a
description of the man. 1t turned out
that Smith came direct to Minot where
he had pal and with whom he be-
came confidential. A portion of his
conversation was overheard by Z third
party, who Immediately notiied Chief
Dougherty of his suspicion and de-
scribed the man. Chief Dougherty, to-
gether with Patrolman Peterson, got
busy and soon had the man picked up
and when he was placed in the city jail
and closely questioned by the chief,
soon admitted his guilt. Chief Blake
is we'll pleased, and well he may be,
with the excellent help he is dbaining
from the Minot police force. Dan
Dougherty's four years experience as
Deputy Sheriff of Ward county has

A. G. Divet, of Wahpeton, who at
tended the trial against the Equity
Exchange at Fargo last week, lost his
temper, when he was called into a
room in the court house, where rs
Equity members had gathered. He was
questioned as to his reason for not
voting for the terminal elevtor bill.
Divit asserted when he arrived that
he did not propose to be "put on the
PAM" but he would be glad to make
any explanations. He declared that he
thot the $4,000 would not be enough
to start the building of the elevator
"My committee took up the fight for
the terminal two years ago and rec
commended one-half mill levy which
was passed at one-eighth MILL" he ex-
planned.

corridors. 81 don't give a - how

will either keep faith with me or I
will get out! Now, you are trying to
put me on the PAM"
II would not insult you for any,

ley. "You mean to say, Mr.. Divet,
that it is not worthy proposition at

II may be wrong" replied Divet,

the door and faced Johnson.

while Divet and johnson were in
heated seance of words. ..
"Go to -" shouted Divet and he
left the room just as the baili6 sent
in by the court appeared on the scene

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES

Alcohol can be made from potatoes.
A bushel will make three-fourths of a
gallon of alcohol, which makes it plain
that the cost of such alcohol will be
high from the standpoint of using it
in competition with gasoline.
If potatoes are rs cents a bushel, it
take 33 1-3 cents worth of potatoes to
make the gallon of alcohol. To this
must be added the cost of manufacture
which will bring it to nearly so cents a
gallon, according to the figures given
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in Farmers Bulletin No. 40. The
slop or stuff that is left after making
the alcohol has feeding value which
will in measure reduce the cost.

SPLENDID WINDOW

that prepared by Colonel Scarlet of

old soldiers who visited Minot this

trouble to make his display interest
ing. The stars and stripes formed the
background, and nine army rifles were
stacked. A shrapnel shell, an army
axe and other appropriate curios were
shown. In the center was the silver
loving cup presented by the Colonel
several years ago to Co. D. The cup
has been won by the following sharp
shooters: Chas. F. Graham, VIM. Nc
Eoun, E. E. Whitney, Leslie Dunn,
Corporl Hecker and F. F. Falvey. The

PASTOR RUSSELL TO
TALK in WASHINGTON
TO Hell and Back In the Bible Way"
to Be Topic at Sunday
Meeting.

Pastor Russell, well known author and
Bible lecturer, president of the Interna-
tional Bible Students Association, the
Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
and other religious organizations center
ing in Brooklyn, will visit this city next
Sunday and deliver an address at the
National Theatre, at o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
The anti-helI-fire teachings of the
Brooklyn pastor during the past thirty
five years have made him famous through
out the world, and his topic here next
Sunday will be a characteristic one, ''To
He'll And Back In The Bible Way"
Pastor Russell. who is known as the
worlds ubiquitous preacher" is said to
be one of the greatest living defenders
of the Bible. and has had one of the
most remarkable careers of any of the
religious workers of the day
He speaks under the auspices of the In
ternational Bible Students Association,
his addresses are free. and no aid is
asked. The purpose of his work is to re-
store and build up belief and arouse en-
thusiasm for the Bible as the inspired
word of God. He has never worked
along sectarian lines and makes no ef-
fort to build up one form of faith as
taught by any of the various branches
of seCtarian churches over another.
Thousands have been led in this way to
restore their faith in the scriptures.
The so-called destructive higher critics
have been a special object of attack by
this defender of the old faith, and the
modern college also has received its
share of censure. Pastor Russell declares
that while he believes that the higher
critics do much 10 clarity facts concern
ing the Scriptures, he is nevertheless of
the opinion that they do more to destroy
faith. The Bible. he says. cannot be i'm
proved upon. and the deeper ones study
is, the greater will be his faith, and less
prone to attempt to supplant 1t with any
other form.
Despite Pastor Russell's belief in the
truth of the Bible, he does not preach the
litaralness of the doctrine of a hereafter
of real fire and birthstone. What he does
believe is that the language of the Bible
is figurative in many places, but the
fundamental principle underlying is the
eternal destruction of the finally and in
corrigibly wicked.
Since the outbreak of hostilities in Eu-
rope special attention has been drawn to
Pastor Russell's teachings because of the
fact that for many years he has in his
lectures and in his books on Bible study
which have attained an immense cirCula-
ton, predicted a time of great trouble
and distress to commence in the autumn
of 1914 and that it would become world
wide The pastor declares this view is
well substantiated by the Bible prophe-
cies, and believes the present struggle is
a partial fulfllment of these and the pre-
lude to the Battle of Armageddon,"
which will result in social revolution and
