NOT ENOUGH /! !.
DEMAND FOR
Ignite COAL
Practically Every Mine Has
Accumulated a Large5Sur-
plus of Coal. A, y ~.

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. ts2sAWhiie
Minneapolis and St. Paul and towns
Just across the Mississippi generally
are enjoying heatless Mondays and
lightless nights and worthless days
because of a fuel shortage, Ignite
mines here, on the banks Of the Mis-
souri, and west thereof, are forced to
inaugurate days because of an over
supply of coal and an under-supply Of
consumers. &
Practically every mine in the state
has accumulated a large surplus in
excess Of orders nov at hand. Many
of these producers have not sufficient
storage capacity to permit of ac-
cumulating further reserves, and diff
hcult as it has been to find good
workers, these mines have been forced
to risk the loss OF some Of their best
miners through a forced suspension
OF operations.
Must Find New Outlet.
North Dakota is consuming 100 per
cent more Ignite than it did q year
ago, but the mines are producing 200
per cent more, and they could, with
some encouragement, double or treble
the present production. There are
square miles, Immediately adjoining
the Northern Pacific and other trans
continental railways, which could be
worked by steam shovels, delivering,
direct to h cars, and at a minimum
of expense. tens of thousands Of tons
of coal daily. No effort will be made
to develop the industry on SUCH a
scale, however, until q new outlet is
found for the fuel, whose consumption
at present is confined almost entirely
to North Dakota.
Fargo last week received II Icar-
loads of Ignite coal in one shipment,
greatly relieving the situation there.
This coal retailed at about half the
standard price for eastern bituminous
Goals and for about one-third the cur
rent price of anthracite. 1T is slowly
overcoming the prejudice which long
existed in the Red River valley
against Ignite. and is gradually win
ming there the same appreciation
which it long has enjoyed in the cen
trail and western portions of the state.
But If every consumer in the state
used nothing but Ignite. the demand
would be insignificant as compared
with the states possibilities Of pro.
duction. Ignite producers are con-

centers now suffering from a coal
shortage. They contend there is no
freight blockade so far as North Da-
kota is concerned; that the mines car
produce the coal. and the states Aye
big transcontinental railways car
moye it. And. they urgess.that The
