GARFIELD ORDERS DIS
TR|bUNON OF COAL
Non-essential Industries May be Shut
Down Under New Order-MinOt
Apt to be. Effected to Some
Extent s

The following telegram has been
received by Roy A. McCandless, super
intendent of the Minot division Of
the Great Northern from r. H. Ash
ton, Regional director of railroads,
pertaining to the conservation of fuel:
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 1st, 1919.
"R. A. McCandless,
"Minot, N. D.
"Please give as information to the
newspapers in your city the following
statement of DR.. Harry A. Garfield,
United States Fuel Administrator, as
to the policy which will be pursued by
him in the distribution of coal.
! CDR. Harry A., Garfield, United
States Fuel Administrator today auth
orzed the following statement: It
is necessary that coal shall be used
only for essential purposes, Public
Utilities consuming coal should dis
light to non-essential industries and
produce enough light, power and heat
the people. Advertising signs should
be curtailed and no coal should be dis
tributed for such purposes. Pursu-
ant to this policy, I have requested
the railroad administration in the dis
tribution of coal now or hereafter in
it's possession to limit distribution to
these essential and urgent uses. AS
| far as practicable until the conditions
warrant a change in the distribution
of coal will be limited to the first
! five classes of the priority list. Re-
tail dealers, who distribute coal for
household, requirements, heating no.
/ tells, buildings, hospitals, etc, should
take every precaution to see that coal
is only delivered where it is absolute-
ly required and then only in such linn
tied quantities that the supply may
be distributed widely and prevent suf-
I fering. The state and other local
authorities can materially aid in in
specting and supervising such distri-
button by retail dealers and the U. S.
government will be glad to leave the
supervision and control of such dis
tribution by retail dealers entirely to
any state, county or municipality
which may make provision therefore.
The distribution to the retail dealers
must necessarily be administered by
the Railroad Administration in pur-
suance of the orders already made by
the United States Fuel Administra-
ton in carrying out. the priorities
which have been prescribed under the
Lever Act.
"R. H. AISHTON."
The local Ignite mines are furnish
ing plenty Of fuel for the homes of
Minot and vicinity. as they are all
operating at capacity. The North
ern States Power Co. is now depend
ing on eastern coal for its fuel, since
the recent fire at the Washburn mine
at Wilton, and this order is apt to
effect Minot in several ways. Man
ager Brokaw informs the Independ-
, ent that he has received no instruc-
tions yet to cut off any light or pow
er, but if the situation does not i'm
prove Immediately, it is expected thai
service for ADVERTISING signs will be
, discontinued, and nerha~s heat, light
and power cut off from certain non.
essential industries.

Taylor and Vollmer Each Shoot Deer
Frank P. Taylor and l.. Vollmer
have returned fom WhiteIish, Mont,
near which place rhey spent eleven
days hunting deer. After hunting
diligently and patiently for FIVE days,
their efforts were rewarded with each
shooting a big buck, weighing more
than 800 pounds. The bucks were
engaged in terrific fight and this
gave the hunters fine chance to kill
them. Each hunter will have the
head mounted which will make valu-
able specimens Of their prowess %
marksmen. Mr.. Taylor had never ~
fore shot deer. He says its great
sport, tho not nearly 20 exciting q
