steel and in the rapid development Of
certain manufacturing industries and
by large government requirements for
war purposes. There have also been
difficulties and problems to overcome
in lake shipment. In addition to this,
the unusual demand for cars and the
accumulation and congestion of these
at some terminal, has made it diff
cult for the railroads to meet all the
conditions and supply a sufficient num-
Der of cars to handle the increased
general tonnage and carry the coal
from the mines to the lake docks and
other distributing centers.
These and many other conditions
have combined to create a serious sit
uation in the fuel supply, particularly
in the northwest. While we have
large coal resources, the present diff
Guilty lies principally in the mining
and distributing to the consumers of
the coal at the time it is needed.
The great demand made upon all
kinds Of transportation facilities in or
der to handle, within a limited period,
the coal required in the United States
to provide fuel for household purposes
for power and for a multitude of man.
ufacturing and industrial purposes, is
better realized when it is known that
the last years coal production of this
country amounted to between 600 ,0OO,-
900 and 100000 900 tons. This would
be equivalent to between Is, 900, 900
and 100000 carloads. When thru
any unusual conditions it becomes nee
essary to move quickly a large pro-
portion of this vast volume of coal, in
addition to the handling of other or
binary shipping rs merchandise, ag-
ricultural products, etc., serious con-
gestion and %inadeqate or imperfect
distribution are almost inevitable re-
suits.
The Fuel and Transportation COM
missions of the National Council OF
Defense r working together in Their
efforts to overcome these difficulties
and obviate, as far as possible, any
serious shortage or suffering, but thei,
success in meetin the situation will de.
pend, in a large degree, upon the co.
operation of the public and personal
attention given to the matter by each
individual. The transportation Of
troops, army supplies, and other ma
~terials, in addition to the movement Of
merchandise and crops in the fall will
add to the danger of a congestion il

ton of the fuel supply in the nrth'
west.
The problem is not simply that o:

THE FUEL
SITUATION


The necessity that every family
give proper attention to the matter Of
its fuel supply is urged in the follow
ing communication from Dean E. J..
Babcock, Chairman of the Committee
on Fuels, Mining and Engineering of
Council Of Defense which we quote as
follows: !.
"There is considerable danger that
there may be difficulty in obtaining
coal in the fall and winter when the
demand is extra heavy, unless the peo-
pei of the state generally provide in
advance for at least a portion Of their
needs.
Food and fuel are both Of para
mount Importance to life and it is
necessary that each consumer observe
adequate precautions for proper and
timely provision for these supplies. In
most places and under ordinary con
ditions, these necessities car be fur
nished as the needs arise without re-
quiring unusual precautions. But in
these days the great struggle in with
the world is engaged has brought
about many unusual conditions in &C.
onomics, in demand, in supply, and in
distribution, all Of which requires the
most thoughtful and thoro considera-
ton of means for eliminating waste,
increasing supply and aiding distribu-
ton, as well as careful forethought in
providing and conserving such neces-
sites of life as food and fuel.
An adequate and general distribu-
ton of fuel, so timed as to meet the
requirements in every locality without
delay II shortage is always a problem
of large proportions, but this has been
rendered unusually difficult at NE
present time through a combination Of
causes and conditions which do not or:
dinarily exist.
The supplies of fuel remaining or

towns of the northwest were unusual.

to accumulate sufficient supplies at the

needed the local stocks and distribu,
ton. Vast quantities of coal are be

BY this second summons herein you

high prices, but rather more that of
obtaining ar adequate supply of coal
at the time it is needed. These con-
ditions make it necessary that every
consumer do what he can to relieve
the situation and also to protect him
self by putting in at least a part of
his fuel supply before the crops have
to be moved in the fall and thus help
in relieving congestion and avoiding
the discomfort and danger from short
age.
In view of these difficulties and un-
certainties in securing prompt and
adequate delivery of various grades of
eastern coal, the people of the state
could very well consider the increased
use Of Ignite as a means of a~ffording
relief in the demand for eastern coal,
as we'll as ~obviating the shortage and
reducing fuel costs. In the western
part'of the state there are vast depos-
its Of Ignite coal which are but slight
ly developed and used, for the most
part only in those regions near the
mines. These great deposits of lig-
mite are worthy of more extensive de-
velopment and utilization and in times
like these, when the price of other
coal is very high and when there is
danger of a shortage of eastern coal
it would seem that in many parts of
the state Ignite could be used to adj
Vantage and with economy.
Although Ignite coal tends to slack.
small supplies can be stored without
loss, in cellars, underground root pits
and in other places protected from
sun, and wind and weather.
Further information regarding the
character and use of Ignite will be
furnished in later articles, or the in
formation can be gotten by writing di-
rectly.
What is needed is an early distribu-
ton of at least a portion of the fuel
required so as to avoid any congestion
at the time Of crop movement and
when large quantities of fuel will soon
be required. It is not necessary to Law
in the whole winters supply in ad-
vance, but if every consumer will
make thoughtful provision ahead for q
portion of his fuel needs and aim tc
have a fair supply on hand, the distri.
button should be gradually met with,
out-sufeing or the danger of any fue
.,panic. But this can be done only b,
general and individual cooperation
To this end, as a mean of persona
protection and public service, ever,
one should give this matter Of fue
supply earnest and early considera
ton.

Many Devils Lake people will be
panied to learn of the death of Mrs.
Harry Walker, who passed away at
Grand Forks the first of the week.
Mrs. Walker was the wife of a we'll
known railroad man, who at one time
was a conductor out of this city, but
for some years past has been running
in. Minnesota and the Canadian north
west. Mrs. Walker was a sister of
Mrs. w. H. Reid, of this city. She
had been sick for some time, and
while it was hoped that she might be
nursed back to health, her death was
not wholly unexpected. Mr.. and Mrs
Reid went to Grand Forks to a
