HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Football is history; basket ball has
the floor. Possible first and second
string men are being tried out and Mr..
Brown assures the world that Bottin-
eau High School will make it's mark
when the season formally opens. The
gym resounds with the shouts of bas-
ket ball fans every evening. When the
class schedules have been fully ar
ranged there will be chance for each
one in school to take part in some form
of athletics.
Friday evening saw three social
events take place. One was a Junior
!, sleigh ride, which came to grief and
decided to be an indoor party, with
eats as the most important feature.
The second was a sure enough sleigh
ride engineered by the Freshman.
class. Their frosty evening of fun end
ed very appropriately and agreeably
at the Weeks home, where refresh
ments were served.
Betsy Deraas entertained group of
friends Friday evening and we are in
formed that the occasion was very
enjoyable one for those fortunate
enough to attend.
The High School Athletic Association
did the decorating and served lunch
for the American Legion's dance in
the gymnasium on Nov. II. AS befitted
the anniversary, the decorations were
all in patriotic colors, and were group
ed about the large service flag and
other flags. Even the American Eagle
was there, gazing down majestically
on the merry-makers. The lunch need
less to say, was bountiful and deli.
cious. In spite of the unfavorable
weather, which decreased the size of
the crowd, neat sum was realized
for the Athletic Associations treas
ury.

Production Nearly Normal
BY Saturday thirty coal mines were
operating under state supervision and
were turning out 1000 tons of coal
a day. This was within 1000 tons of
the regular production. The increase
in output has been very rapid from
the day the state first started to op-
crate the first mines it took over. Nor
NAL production was assured within a
day or two.
On Saturday Governor Frazier an
nounced the plan of state operation as
follows:
"The primary object of state oper-
alton is to get the coal to the people
of the state" said Governor Frazier.
81 feel that everyone is willing to
continue to pay the present prices for
few days, until we learn what it act
ually costs us to produce the coal.
"In the operation by the state neith-
er the state nor the mine operators
are to make any profit. Royalties of
from 10 to 25 cents per ton will be
paid the owners for coal taken from
their mines. The price to the deal
ers will be governed by the actual
cost of mining the coal, plus this roy
atty and whatever expense the state
coal administration incurs in operat-
ing the mines. I anticipate there will
be reduction in retail prices in some
localities. No cut will be made, how
ever, until we have absolute figures
on the cost of production"

STATE OPERATION OF MINES
GREAT VICTORYF0 FRAZIER

TTIEs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES RArIpJ APPROACHING
NORMAN -

ia coal mines under the order issued
by Governor Frazier early Wednesday
morning, has not only been accom-
plished without hitch, with the ex-
ception of threatened litigation by two
OF the leading companies, but the
highly successful operation of the
mines by the state had resulted in
return almost to normal production by
Saturday and the unfoldment of a
plan to get coal to the consumers at
almost the cost of production. In ad-
dition, the attempts Of big business
and it's I. V. A. tools to array the fed
eral government against the state ad-
ministration has signally failed. The
federal government has acknowledged
the act of Governor Frazier and has
offered to cooperate in the distribu-
tion of coal. ..
These results have turned the tables
completely on the political and big
business foes Of the state administra-
tlon who through their treacherous
Vaccinations split the operators and
prevented an agreement with the mi
ners thus necessitating the temporary
seizure of the mines by the state.
Miners Accept Plan s5
Prior to the issuing of the order by
the governor, Henry J. Drennen, pres
ldent of the United Mine Workers for
this district, stated that the miners
would return to work for the state,
but not for the operators, and that
all they asked was that the coal mines
would be operated by the state for
the benefit Of the people and that
prices and profits should be kept as
low as possible. He wired the various
miners unions of the state instruct
ing them to return to work at the old
scale Of wages and hours of work in
case the state of North Dakota took
over the mines. -.
The plan of state operation and
price and profits reduction put into
effect by Governor Frazier was as
follows: r.
The operators were left in charge
OF their mines under state supervis-
ion. The bookkeeping in all the mines
was taken over by the state. The
operators will be held strictly .ac-
countable for maximum production
under the most economical system
possible. The private dealers will be
allowed to handle and distribute coal
but any dealer charging more than a
fair profit will be refused coal. AS a
further safeguard, the municipal au-
thorities will be asked to give the dis
tribution of coal to consumers careful
attention.
Big Companies Protest
The taking over of the mines bv the
state was accomplished mainly on
Thursday with no trouble except le-
gal protests and threats of litigation
by two big operators out of the thir-
ty mines taken over. At Wilton the
Washburn Coal company resorted to
a trick and sent the. cars belonging
to the 500 line at the mine back to
Minneapolis and later served a legal
protest against the state seizure Of
its property. Governor Frazier wired
to Minneapolis for return of the
cars and they were sent back to the
mine Friday.
