COAL LEFT SAYS
FUEL DICTATOR

The United States fuel administra-
ton in report just published gives
the northern great plains area, from
North Dakota and Montana south to
New Mexico. including the Denver
and Ration Mesa regions. credit for
housing Americas greatest coal re-
sources. 1t is estimated that this ter.
ritory has mined 2S4,54S,O 100000 tons
of semi-bituminous and 964.424. 900, 900
tons OF Ignite or a total of l,294,525,-
600, 900 tons of coal of all kinds, which
had been reduced by the aggregate
production up to the end Of 1914 to- L.
294,l 100000 tons. The second larg-
est field is the Rocky Mountain dis
trict, which at the end OF 4914 had L.
067, ,609, 100000 tons OF semi-bitumin-
Gus coal left. From 1907 to 1914 the
total production of the United States

Reported that Each Would Like

SOMEBODY NOT GRATEFUL
SOMEBODY NOT GRATEFUL

All is not lovely between Rev
Charles f. Vermilya, the political par.
son member of the state board of re
gents, and N. c. Macdonald, state
superintendent of public instruction. it
is hinted.~
When Eermiiya two years ago sent
a circular letter to every Methodist
preacher urging that they support
'Macdonald's candidacy for state super
intendent Of public instruction, he did
so with the understanding that some
political plum would be his in return.
Not all the preachers followed Vermil-
ya's instructions; many clung to the
belief that the church and its minis
ters should keep out of politics, and
Vermilya letter was filed in the waste
basket. But Macdonald was elected
state superintendent of public nstruc-
ton, and Vermlya was made mem
Der of Townley's board Of regents
with the understanding, clear in his
own mind, at least. that he was to
have the first good presidency that
bObbed up in the states educational
institutions. At the particular moment
of his appointment Vermilya had an
idea that the agricultural college
presidency might open up. That fail
ed, and then he was tentatively tend.
cred the Dickinson normal presidency.
The proposition did not appeal to Yer
u I,r ~
Then the board Of regents,
so it is said. deposed DR.. George
A. Mcfarland for more than
quarter of a century president
of the Valley City normal, and Vermil-
va began once more to furbish up his
lightning rods. The board Of regents
at first however, rendered the JOB
to DR.. Stout, an eastern educator OF
some substance. DR.. Stout came to
North Dakota. sized up the. 'Townley
board, and promptly declined to accept
any position which it had 10 offer.
In the meantime Nei, e. Macdonald
began to suffer from fears that he
might be separated from the public
payroll, to which he has been SO long
attached, by the medium Of the ballot
al the next general election. Scll
cast about for some soft spot upon
ml:ch to fall should the good ship OF
state buck him overheard and he dis
covered a very satisfactory haven IN

So, the story goes, the very Rev.
DR.. Charles E. Vermilya is not this
