The coal from Wiltons famous
mine is being shipped to all parts Of
North Dakota and the output for the
present season will undoubtedly be
the largest in the history of the
states premier industrial institution.
Only those in close touch with the
fuel situation in North Dakota can
realize the great benefit derived from
having such we'll equipped and up
tO-date mine as is being operated at
Wilton by The Washburn Ignite coal
company. With an output of 100000
tons annually, the Wilton mine is
supplying the people of North Dakota
with more than a third of the native
fuel mined in the entire state and
during the extremely cold weather of
December and January, has shipped
close to $4,000 tons of Ignite.
Being located near the center Of the
state and on two lines of railroad.
the operators of the Wilton mine are
able to ship Ignite to the hundreds
of dealers scattered in the various
towns of North Dakota, with less diff

are experiencing.
Plans are already on foot to in
crease the capacity Of the local mine
and with an unlimited amount of coal
at their disposal. the officials of
the Washburn Ignite coal company
anticipate a good business for many
years to come.-G n. Stewart.

GASOLINE FAMINE.

IN one year gasoline mas risen from
about Is cents gallon to %, and
many authorities predict rise of 10
cents more before the end of the pres
ent year. This is serious matter,
for gasoline has become an almost
universal necessity. It's price direct
ly affects the operation of perhaps
100000 motor cars, and innumera
BILE motor boats, farm tractors anC
other farm machinery and the power
plants of small factories. Indirectly,
it affects the cost of living of nearly
all Of US.
Secretary of the Interior Lane has
been Investigating the matter, and
his report to the United States SEN
ate gives food for serious thought.
His conclusion is that the spectacular
rise in price is due, in the main, to
the inability of production to keep
pace with consumption. TO be sure,
there have been immense profits
made in the gasoline business. The
Standard Oil company of California
declared a so per cent dividend on
January %, and the Imperial Oil COM
pany of Canada has declared a 100
per cent dividend. None of the vari-
Gus subsidiaries into which the old
Standard Oil company was broken up
has been losing money, so far as may
be judged from their rating in the
stock market. But the big factor
seems to have been the old, inescapa-
Bile law Of supply and demand.
In 1904, according to Secretary
Lanes estimate, 100000 barrels of
gasoline were consumed in the Unit
ed States. Five years later the con.
sumption had risen to 10,S00,000 bar
rels. In 1914 it had nearly doubled
again, totaling 1S,000,000 barrels. Elk
perts believe there will be 100000
barrels needed FOR the present year.
This would mean that in twelve
years the domestic demand has in.
creased more than 400 per cent. And
other countries depend largely on us
for their supply.
Meanwhile, the production of crude
oil has decreased. There has been
slump in the output of Texas and Ok
lahoma oil wells, said to be as much
as 40 or so per cent. The scarcity
has been aggravated by the loss of
imports from Mexico on account of
the revolution. We may count soon,
perhaps, on relief from that source,
but hardly enough to counterfeit the
domestic loss.
Some improvement may be hoped
for, Secretary Lane suggests, in the
discovery of methods for obtaining
more gasoline from a given quantity
of petroleum, and the invention of
gas engines burning heavier grades
of oil. But at best, the supply seems
bound to run out before long. Even
If the present rate of consumption
and expectation doesn't increase, gov.
eminent experts say, the supply of
petroleum in sight will last only %
years.
What shall we burn then in our gas
engines? Alcohol, perhaps. But that
will mean a new variety of engine,
and the creation of virtually new
industry
