The Future of

The Bureau of Mines is not

the school of mining engineering
of the University of North OAK

mite mines of that state plant
on commercial scale and has
manufactured hundreds of thous

hundreds of tons of brlquettes,
The most rigid tests have been
applied to both these products,
and research has been carried OF
with regard to other by products.

gas reports. though differing
from coke in texture, is about
equal to it in fuel value, and, un-

extracted in the gas manufac .ure
is very thin, it can, when treated
by a special process they have
developed, be concentrated into
an excellent binder. This tar is,
however, 50 valuable because of
its peculiar nature that it may

Bridge Missouri
Near Marmarth

Ipswich, May 5.-Special-J.
w. Parmley, president of the
Yellowstone Trail association. re
ceived a wire this morning to the
effect that all objections to the
bridge across the Little Missouri
at Marmarth, N. D.. had been re-
moved and that without further
delay the work would Ie rushed
with all possible speed.
This is the happy termination
of long series of efforts, injunc-
tions al d disappointments, and
has been the one source OF worry
and trouble to the organization.
The Little Missouri is a treacher-
GUS river subject to. very rapid
rise and disastrous floods. In
low water it can be forded but in
a few minutes may change to a
raging torrent. At such times.
the only recourse is for teams to
wait it's fall or automobiles to
cross on the railway bridge OF
the coast line of the Milwaukee
railway. This always has had
an element of danger and while
the company never granted per-
mits for its use the officials were
ready with information as to the
movements of added risk. There
has never been an accident, but
Trail officials will breathe easier
after the first automobile crosses
the wagon bridge.
The site of the bridge is in the
southwest corner of North OAK

to the busy little queen of the

Andrew had heard the call of
the West. and the following day
was to journey to a homestead
near Lennon, S. D, The groc-
|er's clerk obeyed a sudden inn
pulse and on one of the eggs in
"a case being prepared for ship
ment inscribed his name and his
Dakota address.
Betty Harland, II years cid,
blond and pretty, was employed
as maid in a Redlan,ls. CAL,
home just three months later.
|She ''obeyed that impulse" one
day and casually picked up an

she discussed the latest fashions
with the cook.
Betty was young. Romance
beckoned and a second impulse
followed the reading of he in
