From The Washington Standard for
Friday Evening. March 81. 1898.
Vol. XXXIlI. No. 10.

No more of it-When the Seattle
Telegraph agrees with the Olympian
Tribune that the legislative term of
60 days is too short, with our late
experience so prominently in view. it
is time TO protest against the incul-
cation of such a belief among the
people. The fast is that if the SEES
sions were prolonged to 100 days or
for six months. the business would
be no nearer completion, when the
last day came, than it is now.
Another Nellie Bly-Miss Edith
Day, a spirited Portland girl, started
on the 22d on pilgrimage around
the world, to demonstrate in what
time the trip can be made in comfort
and safety by lady unattended.
The Mississippi Valley was visited
by frightful storm few days ago
which destroyed much property and
resulted in the loss of several lives

county was $166.O13.52 this year.

BEST TO
RUIN TURKEY

London, British Wireless Service)
Dec. 5.-Throughout the last four
years the Turks acting under the d.
rections of the committee on union
and progress" have done their best
to ruin Turkey, and have succeeded
exceedingly well.' says the Constanti-
nople correspondent Of the Post. THE
greater part Of the Ottoman empire"
says the correspondent, "has been
conquered and parceled out among
different races, and what remains is
total ruin. Probably never before
have the Turks been so rich. An Ordi.
nary policeman in Pera is estimated
to be worth anything from 1",H'' }
$4,000 Turkish pounds. This sltua-
ton is result Of campaign to en-
rich tho Turks at the expense of the
Christians. Prices in Constantin ople
today are enormously eXorbtant. 1t
is not to be supposed however, that
Constantinole lacks anything. The
committee by acquisitions from the
Christians has concentrated all trade
in the hands Of the Turks. German
officers Also had their share Of the
booty.

COAL SAVING
NECESSARY.T0
READJUSTMENT
Capt. Baker Says Industries
Must Have Fuel to En-
ploy Labor

Eve have been saving coal in order
that the world might be redeemed;
we must now save coal in order that
this redeemed world may be recon
structed," said Capt. l. p. Baker, fed
eral fuel administrator for North Da-
kota, in commenting today upon the
demands which peace has made on
the energies Of the United States fue!
administration.
Coal means steam and steel and
ships and provisions; it means trans
sidering the fact that the devastated
region which we must rehabilitate is
5000 miles from our shores. Coal
means jobs at good wages for every
man who will work; it means pros
perityf peace and contentment here
at home, and the dawn Of new
hope for the millions who have faeed
more> than four years of he'll in Eu.
rope. +-..
"Knowing these things, we cannot
as patriotic Americans and as menl-
bers of a world brotherhood of men
waste a single ton Of coal. We must
save that we may serve. am con-
fident that America is about to en-
bark upon the. most prosperous era it
has known. TO realiza to the fullest
the wonderful opportunities which
peace has brought us, we must have
great reserves of fuel with which to
furnish steam for our power plants.
s'North Dakota today has few indus
tries. The period Of reconstruction
may change this, bat for the immeai-
ate present, if We cannot utilize this
fuel in our own Industrial plants, we
can, by burning our native fuel re-
lease bituminous coal and anthracite
for use in eastern manufacturing cen
tiers. This is our duty to do. | am
confident we will DO it, just as will
ingly as we sacrificed during war
times The great struggle which has
been so satisfactorily ended brought
US in America new conception OF
the spirit Of cooperation. 1t now
means to us something bigger and
broader than it did before The war
The idea embraces not only our whole
state and our whole nation, but the
whole world, and we have come to re-
aliZe that each and every one OF us
invidually holds in his hand a bit OF
the worlds destiny. So, here in North
Dakota, we're going to conserve our
bit by continuing to burn Ignite.
