FINEST FARM REGION
TRANSFORMED TO SWAMP
Pioneer Residents of RichIand Coun-
ty Testify in State Drainage
Suit at st. Paul.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 20. -
Pioneers who settled in the Red river
valley from 1881 to 1890, and who
have resided there continuously from
29 to 81 years, testified in North Da-
kota's drainage suit against the state
of Minnesota before a master in
chancery at st. Paul last week to
the effect that the section of Rich
land county which has been under
water for the last three years had up
to 1915 been one Of the finest farm
ing regions in the northwest, report
ed First Assistant Attorney General
Fl. A. Bronson today. Mr.. Bronson,
who is representing the state in this
important litigation, came to Bis
marck last night, and leaves again
this evening for st. Paul, where the
taking of expert testimony probably
will continue throughout the week.
Old settlers, he advised, testified
that splendid farms have been trans
formed into swamps and morasses
Minnesota's practice Of
dumping it's flood waters into the
Red river, and that beautiful farm
buildings whose owners have spent
small fortunes and many years Of
care in developing into comfortable
country homes, are completely sur
rounded by water.
North Dakota claims that the
farmers of Richland county. in loss
of crop alone, have been damaged to
the extent of at least $3,000,000. Min
nesota is defending q similar suit in
which South Dakota is the plaintiff.

CHINA'S ENTRY In
WARHELP PSNATION
By This Means, Govern
ment is Released From
Paying Huge Sums

Peking, Sept. 0.-CCorrespondenc
Of the Associated Press).- China's
entry into the European war on the
side of the allies will relieve the Chin
ese government Of interest payments
upon obligations owed to the Ger
man government and German COR
porations aggregating nearly $685.
0OO,0 gold. The greatest single obli-
cation China owes to Germany is the
Boxer idemnity money, amounting to
about $106,565,0O0 gold. The next
items in importance are two loans Of
$40,000,0Q0 gold each. known as the
first and the second Anglo German
loans and, negotiated through the
German Asiatic Bank. Germany
portion OF the reorganization loan
participated in by the five power
group, is $25,000,000 gold. Railway
loans made by the German -Asiatic
bank aggregate over $4,0O0.000 gold.
In addition there miscellaneous
short term loans made by various
German firms, which are estimated
at a total Of $4.000,000 gold.
German mining properties whose
value is estimated at $1,500,000 gold,
will probably be taken over by the
Chinese government and sold, the
Chinese government holding the
money until the conclusion Of peace.
The German Asiatic bank with
branches at Peking, Tientsin, Tsin-
anfu, Tsingtau, Hankow and Canton,
is the largest German concern doing
business in China, and has q capi-
tai of about $7,O00,0 900 gold. It is
charged that this bank has financed
much of the German intrigue
throughout the Orient.
German capital also is employed
quite extensively in the cement in
dustry in China, and controls paper
mills, breweries, cotton mills, and
other factories in various ports. These
companies for the most part are not
very large. Arnold Karberg e.
Company, one of the most important
German concerns in the far east, has
a loan on the Shanghai dock OF about
Sc. .0OO, 900 gold.

Meissner, aged IS, lady firebus,
on her confession that she has
been responsible for a number of
mysterious fires at her horne
town OF Hebron in the last few

loss; setting fire to Adam Bey-

sions; firing the Sauter home in
Hebron; stealing savings banks
belonging TO the children of

OF LIGNITE IN

Babcock Says Shortage Of
Supply To Force Dako-
tans To Use Own Fuel

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 20.-That
the probability of the eastern sec
ton Of North Dakota will be unable
to procure enough hard coal and
eastern bituminous to supply its
winter needs will result in several
times doubling the consumption of
native Ignite is the opinion OF DR..
e. ]. Babcock, dean Of tHe North
Dakota college of mines, and chair
man Of the national defense coun-
Gil committee on fuel, who is here
attending a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee.
Dean Babcock is one Of the ma
tion's most respected authorities on
Ignite. He can make 1t sit up and
play a tune when 1t will not even
roll over for one less gifted. He
has reported now proving a AZ per
cent increase in Ignite consumption
over August, 1916. and he believes
that before real coal weather sets
in every home in the valley. will have
a little Ignite in the house.
THE attitude Of some Of our
eastern North Dakota people toward
Ignite is really laughable,' said
Dean Babcock today. Il receive let
is lignite?' VIII 1t burn?' Can I
use it in my furnace?' viii 1t ex-
plode? How do you light the stuff?'
Do you feed it with a spoon or with
bottle?'"
Ignite is officially recognized by
the United States geological survey
as a bituminous coal in process OF
formation about forty per cent as ef-
ficient as the higher grade soft Goals.
Seven hundred billion tons OF ii un-
derlie central and western North
Dakota. There is hardly a township,
and in many sections very few
farms, without a mine. The farmer
who has an outcropping Of Ignite,
strips the surface and mines II for
his own use and permits his neigh
bors to come in and dig their sup
ply, at as little as a dollar for a
load.
The largest mine in the state, To-
Gated at Wilton, employs 200 men
and produces a quarter million tons
annually. This production will be
doubled this year through the open
ing of a second shaft and building
of new shaft-house. There are
large mines at Dickinson, Hebron,
New Salem, in the Minot vicinity,
at Noonan, Ignite and in many
other sections of the state, and their
production Is growing rapidly.
Dean Babcock believes that once
eastern coal-users become familiar
with Ignite, they will burn 1t to the
exclusion of the much more expen-
siye eastern Goals. Three tons of
Ignite cost no more than one ton
of anthracite.

STTCKLEY FALLS
into HANDS OF
FOURTH ESTATE
Old-time State Newspaper
man Spied by "Boys"
In Alabama Camp

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 20.-Capt.
Warren A. Stickley ("Stick" to his
thousands of North Dakota friends)
is an old-time knight of the fourth
estate who is making good in mill
tary affairs. Several weeks ago he
was assigned as captain quarter
master to construction work at Camp
Mcclellan, one of the great canton
ments for the national army, at
Admission, Ala. There the newspaper
boys spied him out, and this is what
they say Of him:
Editor TO Traffic Cop.
From a newspaper editor to a
traffic cop is some transition, but
when the work is for Uncle Sam,
and the cop-job consists in regulat-
ing traffic and transportation of
hundreds of trucks and wagons and
thousands of workmen, it assumes
the proportions. of a large-sized
order, and the dignity Of labor done
for love Of country.
Back, orIrather, way up, in North
Dakota, Capt. Warren A. Stickley
had considerable to say about the
running Of his state government, and
now he has merely transferred his
activities and acumen to the United
States army.
Never a Theorizer.
"'The former editor OF The Bis
marck Tribune and a contributor to
leading magazines and newspapers
and correspondent of The Associated
Press, he never was a theorizer, and
as publicity agent for the imperial
state of North Dakota, he put that
commonwealth on the map-in fact,
on several maps.

in the military, and twenty years
before his present answer to the call
to arms, he had served in the militia
and had answered two other calls
serving through the Philippine insur-
rection in 1898 and on the border OF
Mexico last year.
"Over six feet tall. hair black and
straight as a Dakota Indians. big
framed and strong-jawed, it is not
to be wondered at that the part of a
fighting man suited his vigorous dis
position, though good humor and
kindness are among his strong
just Leave IL to "Stiek."
when he hit Camp Mcclellan, the
first thing Major Dulin did was to
put him in charge Of the traffic on
the high road between Admission and
the camp. 1t was his job to see that
workmen were transported to their
work and back again and to cut out
the dead-heads who were riding free
and cluttering up the trucks. He
soon regulated that, and moreover,
he and the soldier road-guards put
the fear OF God into the hearts OF a
of reckless jitney drivers
who hogged the road and interfered
with the movement of the trucks and
government business"

council. Uncle Sam needs $4,000

phone men. switchboard operators
and electricians. If those among the
North Dakota registrants who folloY
these lines of work will get in touch
with DR.. III. r. Brush at the univer-
sity he will tell them how they may

ment.
