L|GN|I'E COAL ] MINI IN !.
BURSTS INTO FLAMES

( Lehigh, N. D., June 12,-The
most spectacular fire ever, Witness
ed in western North Dakota oc-
Cured when the, exposed veins of
the Republic coal mine here burst
into roaring mass Of flames. One
coal bed had been, en- fire for. sew
eral months past, but the blaze
had been isolated until the. high
wind OF Thursday carried burning
embers to adjoining beds, and by
10 O'Clock that evening all of the
coal banks, containing about 800,-
900 tons of exposed coal, We're in
flames. Practically all of the min
ing equipment, including steam
shovels. dinky engines, cars, track
age and buildings, was in danger Of
being destroyed, but prompt work
on the part Of the Northern Pacific
fire crew and the Dickinson depart
ment averted the catastrophe.
While the flames in the larger part
OF the mine were soon controlled
and finally. extinguished it seems
probable that the original IRE will
continue to smelder fer smother

MAY PAY FARMER
(. !. TO STORE GRAIN

I Washington, June 12.-The ear
;ly adoption of the United States
Grain corporation OF the policy of
paying farmers and others handling
wheat for storing it,, is indicated In
a letter which Representative George
Young of North Dakota has receiv-
ed from Julius Barnes Of the Unit
ed States Grain corporation.
Mr.. Young had written to Mr..
Barnes urging him that serious
complications might arise during
the. crop moving period If farmers
were not paid for storing their
wheat Mr.. Young argued that
since it was no advantage for a
farmer. to hold his wheat, because
of the fact that the price is fixed,
farmers would want to realize early
on. their crop, and therefore would
wish to market the enormous crop
in. a short time. This it seemed
would be impossible to do, for the
reason that the railroads would be
unable to move it promptly-which
would necessitate storing. r
+ Mr. Young suggested, therefore,
as a measure of relief for car short
age, that farmers should be paid a
percentage for storing the wheat
until such times as it could be NOV
ed. =. .srr; ....
s The suggestion has met with Mr..
Barnes approval, as appears from
part of his letter, which says: "It
is crystalizing in my mind that dur
ing at least part of the e~crop NOV
{v1o vnnN ~
should be Increased by cumulative
premiums, which in effect amount
to reimbursement of storage on the
farm or by the dealer enroute to
terminal" ... -.

BOYS ARRESTED

Bismarck. N. d., June 12.-4AGhief le'
Martinson and OFFICER Jensen lost e
flittie time yesterday in rounding up
two 5youthfni bandits who looted tee
the safe In the Nasef pool room !
during the momentary absence of

ed with patrons at the time. The
safe door was open, and the bows
proceeded to calmly help themselves
To s38. 80 in currency and checks
making an aggregate loot Of $92:y
The boys were apprehended within ila
q few hours after the robbery was

SPLENDID RAIN HERE !.
YESTERDAY MORNING

About the most welcome rain re-
ceiyed in this great Bowbells cOun-
try came down yesterday morning
starting at about three o'clock and
lasting until about five. Here in
the city 1.35 inches of rain fell,
and reports received yesterday from
other parts of the county indicate
that. about the same amount fell.
While we do not believe that any
grain that was properly put in was
suffering any on account of drouth,
there being plenty of moisture two
and three inches down, much of the
grain which was putt in last would
not sprout until some rain fell to
give it a start. The grain which
had started will naturally get
fresh start, and the grain fields will
hardly be known insanother week.
A large number of the farmers
are of the opinion that the heavy
rain will also clean UP the grass
hoppers to a certain extent, and
that farmers here will not need to
worry much about them. The rain
came down in torrents, and, water
stood everywhere for, an hour or
two. 1t Is not believed that the
small nOppers Woulu Do dpAo "
withstand the kind of soaking
they would be subjected to. In
most cases the hoppers would be
required to lie in the water for two
hours or more. and it is believed
that this would kill them. Other
farmers insist that after this heavy
shower the grain will grow fast
enough so there will be plenty for
the hoppers, the farmers, and some
besides. The farmers will now
have no need to worry about mois-
ture for at least two weeks.

C0MPAN.
les ARE RETURNED

Washington, June 12.-Telegraph
and telephone companies whose
lines have been controlled and op-
Grated by the government since
Aug. 1, were ordered hast night to
resume immediate operations for
their own account by Postmaster
General Burleson. The postoffice
department, however, under terms
Of Mr.. Burleson's orders, retains a
measure of control of the services,
pending final action by congress.
I Regulations prohibiting discrim-
ination against wire employees be-
cause of union affiliations, maintain
ing existing rates and charges and
.instructing companies to keep spe-
cial accounts to facilitate cost settle
ment between themselves and the
government are retained in effect
under the order issued by the post
master general ,:sS .Ss'.
2Mr. Burleson accompanied the or
der with a statement giving the rea-
sons which impelled him to take the
action. He asserted that the Pres
ident, having recommended the re-
'tAIA W Tue pCOporLleS, IHo senate
interstate commerce committee hav-
ing indicated that immediate re-
turn was advisable and the house
committee having through hearings
manifested a desire for action to-
ward that end, he felt it his duty
to return operative control to the
various private owners.
Strikes threatened by telephone
and telegraph employees unions had
no bearing on the departments ac-
tion, officials, said.

A Remarkable Incident.

Here is story, recently current at
the capital, which sheds interesting
light upon the universal query as to
where the governments money has
gone during the last few years:
A manufacturer of airplane parts
was asked to submit bid for 1000
airplane accessories which were need
ed by the war department. The arti-
cles ordinarily cost about SIS each,
and the manufacturer thought a bid of
SIT each would be about right in view
of the fact that they were difficult to
get in large quantities.
So he instructed his stenographer
to submit bid at that figure.
But the stenographer, being of war
time quality, made an error, and in
stead Of quoting price of SIT each,
made the figure $117 each.
And the bid was accepted.

Church Building POSTPONED.

It was our intention to build the
Congregational church this summer.
Our plans are all formulated, the blue
print is at hand, but it came to us so
late that it is inadyisable to begin
work now. We are informed by the
contractors that they could have the
church built by January providing the
material can be procured. If delays
were, to come in the way of getting
material it might be spring before we
could get into the new building. It
therefore seems advisable to have the
old building, which we can use, rather
than have church stand half finished
all winter. We feel dissatisfied but
not discouraged. Good people have
met their God in that old building for
something like thirty years and we
cana little while longer.
