Coal Situation.
The coal strike which has been in
progress in the Burlington fields, near
Minot, was reported by Dorr H. Car
roll, chairman Of the legal commit

mousiy agreed that the council should
do all In Its. power to bring this dis
Fpute to an amicable adjustment.

directors and other interested parties
will supply the $3.50 monthly required

will be taken up through an appro-

of coal now most needed for domestic
consumption in eastern North Da-
kota and in Minnesota. 1t is a ques-
ton, he believes, whether 1t can be
brought In and distributed rapidly
enough to meet requirements before
cold weather comes.
From q survey Of the eastern half
Of the state it appears that only Is
per cent of our fuel requirements are
IN hand in dealers and consumers
bins said DIR. Babcock, 'and, it will
be extremely difficult to get the re-
manning Is per cent. AS chairman of
the fuel committee I have worked
vigorously to aid in obtaining coal
through government agencies, and
there has been a marked improve
ment, but an urgent need still faces
us. In view of this fact I am calling
attention to the necessity of a still
wider use of Ignite. Notices have
been sent to all the Ignite mines in
the state to be prepared to meet a
sudden increased demand, and it is
gratifying to know hat the Ignite
operators Of the state very generally
are anxious to meet the situation. The
Ignite production in August showed
Ia gain Of 43 per cent over the same
month in 1916, a very remarkable
increase"
DR.. Babcock reports the matter Of
price yet to be determined. He antic-
tpates an early settlement. 1.-THE sit
uation," he concluded, lis a very
grave one, presenting a very large
problem, and one which will require
very active work and more care to
prevent actual suffering" He, was
warm in his praise for the co-opera-
ton offered by Howard Elliott, for
mer presidentNof the Northern Paci-
f1c, and now chairman of the board,
whose familiarity with the northwest
and its needs has enabled him to rem
der the defense council most intelli-
gent assistance.

SINGLE TENDER
FOR SCHOOL LOT
MADE TUESDAY
Board Of Education Does
Not Accept Offer Made
at Minimum Price Set
By Board for the Sale

Though there was one bid for the
Central School property when the
board OF education opened bids at noon
yesterday. as advertised for some
reason that bid was not Immediately
accepted, possibly because the school
board feels that the offer of $4,000 is
rather low. OF course the board has
the right to reject any and all bids
though in this instance its upset price
of $4,000 was realized
The single bid received came from
the Arizona Products company The
bid complies with all the actual re-
qurements of the tender and is ac-
companied by certified check for
$4,000. There is no doubt whatever
but that the company would be glad
to carry through the agreement at the
price of 100000 which, under the terms
of the sale. would be next door to an
actual cash transaction.
Franklin X. Lane is the local rep
resentative of the sole bidder II has
been generally understood that if the
bid is accepted. as it probably will be
if no better offer is received. the COM
pany proposes at some time not yet
definitely set, to improve the property
i'm some manner. also not yet exactly
specified but, probably, with sSbres,
and. possibly, with an office Block.
Whether this proposed Improvement
would cover the entire block or only
part of it is not yet stated and the
only thing absolutely safe to state is
that no exact statement as to the
intentions of the company has been
made up to this time either as 10 the
size, shape or style of the proposed
improvement.

CAMPBELL WILL
HAVE AN INNING
IN SHORT TINE

The most important feature in yes
terdays court proceedings over the
disputed office Of chief executive was
the indication by Judge Stanford that
adequate proof must be made by both
sides as to the validity Of the ballots
before he would overthrow the count of
the official election boards.
Eighty five ballots in twelve pre-
cincts are being held BY the court
awaiting some explanation as TO their
peculiarities being made b. the election
boards. In addition 70 this there are
SO votes in % precincts where the
number of ballots counted in the court
proceedings does not agree with the
number Of names appearing in the poll
books. which discrepancy the court in
dicated would have to be explained.
MANY precincts have checked out with
the official count. and IN many others
the reason for the gain by Hunt or
Campbell is apparent and neither side
will probably require proof of the 9TH
er in this class of precincts.
Five precincts were counted yester-
gay morning.
In Klondyke precinct Hunt gained
two votes.
In Lebanon precinct Campbell gained
one, although Hunt had expected 10
make this gain.
In Artesia precinct, Campbell lost
one vote on a ballot marked straight
socialist and individually for him.
Thompson Valley and Bundle Bee
both came out even with the official
count, although Hunt had expected TO
gain one vote in each precinct, by hav-
ing the ballots marked in front Of
Campbcli's name thrown out. The court
upheld the action of the official cleo
ton boards and counted the ballote
In the afternoon the court handed
down his ruling on a number Of bal
lots he had taken under adYisensent
Out of these Hunt received l. and
Campbell g. Two of these ballots were
not counted for either candidate.
Hunts attorneys are expected 10
complete the counting of ballots in
precincts submitted by them today
they will endcavor n make
proof of the ballots so far COUNTED
When Hunts attorneys rest their case
Campbelrs side will begin the intro
duction Of precincts in which they ex-
pect to gain.

this city. This is direct contradiction
of the information received by Cover
nor Thomas z. Campbell several days
ago, in which it was stated that Miss
Margaret Hughes, sister Of the muir
dered man had secured a complete
confession from Croft It is believed,
however, that tho writer mistook An

The first intimation that Deputies
Browning and Warren had that Tempe
residents had organized and would mob
Anderson and Croft when they arrived
in that city enroute to Phoenix was
published in an Ell Paso paper, ac-
cording to Deputy Warren. 1t is be-
lieyed that the story was wild rumoT
that gotfinto print, as no trouble was
experienced in Tempe last night.
It is not believed that many Tempe
residents were aware that the prison
erg were enroute to Phoenix. A tele-
gram received OF the local sheriffs Of
flee yesterday afternoon from Deputy
Warren was to the effect that the start
from FL Paso was not scheduled until
Friday night Of this week Il is be-
licved that this message was sent,
however, to Illustrate any mob violence
that might have been planned. The

prisoners in this city before FL Paso
officials would release them.
