MAKES REPORT
ON STATE COAL
GOVERNOR NORBECK ISSUES
STATEMENT SETTING FORTH
WHAT is BEING DONE AT
STATE NINE.

Pierre, Oct. 5.-Governor Norbeck
gives out a statement as to what is
being done in the way of progress on
the state coal commission.
To make the situation more plain,
outside of the statements of the
governor, the commission after in
vestigation of several months failed
to find coal producing territory in
the state which was available with
in practical distance of railway
transportation, and under authority
of the law giving them power, they
crossed the line into North Dakota a
few miles and purchased tract of
coal land near railway facilities, in
cluding mine already in operation
in small way, and are installing
machinery to increase the output of
this mine.
The governor shows that they
have purchased tract within three
and a half miles of Haynes, North
Dakota, including 80 acres underlaid
with vein of coal ranging from IL
to IA feet in thickness; that the tests
show that the tract is underlaid with
fully 100000 tons soft coal. which
at the price of $4,000 paid for the
property would mean practically
three cents ton for the coal, this
without taking into consideration
the value of the mining plant on the
property.
The purchase includes right of
way to the railway tracks in Haynes,
and includes coal tipple, mine tracks,
mine cars, buildings and tools.
The present capacity of tho ma
chinery is 200 tons a day, but the
plant is being increased.
The state is building the track to
connect the mine with the railway
as well as putting in new machinery,
and will be ready to send out coal as
soon as the track is completed and
work can be commenced.
Just what the production cost will
be will depend upon the labor which
can be secured, and the other condi-
tions which control in mining work,
but the cost will be practically that
of placing the product upon the mar
ket.
Governor Norbeck gave out these
statements in reply to an inquiry
from a nonpartisan publication,
which insisted that they understood
that the state had paid an excessive
price for the property purchased.

GEO. R. FARMER
HURT BY AUTO
CAR JUMPS EGAN AVENUE CURB
ING AND PINS VICTIM UNDER
FRONT WHEEL.

A most peculiar auto caper occur
red near ten o'clock this morning.
while Attorney George r. Farmer
was in the act of transferring some
household goods brought up from his
cottage at the lake to the apartments
in the Daniels-Vreyens block on
Egan avenue N.
Mr.. Farmer, after backing up to
the sidewalk, apparently left the
reverse lever on ,and the car, true to
mechanical control, backed up, and
kept backing even over the curb and
against the stairway leading to the
upper rooms of the block mentioned
Landing against the front wall of
the Morse store, the engine died
down. Mr.. Farmer stepped around
in front of the truck and began
cranking it when, without any warn
ing as to what was going to happen,
the truck dove forward, forcing Mr..
Farmer over the curb onto the pave
ment AS the car jumped the curb
one front wheel pinned the attorney
in such a way as to pinch him sew
erely on the right side of his body.
This accident occurred in sight of
a number of people who fastened
to the aid of the unfortunate man.
He was removed from the perilous
position he was in and assisted up
stairs to his rooms. DR.. r. S. West
ably and DR.. B. S. Allison were called
at once. An examination and an
X-ray showed Mr.. Farmer suffered
two fractured ribs but was otherwise
uninjured. This afternoon he is
resting well, and aside from some
pain is better off than he thought he
would be. Mr.. Farmer is of the
opinion that balky truck is "a
pesky thing anyway" that should be
handled with care or let entirely
alone.

STAGE ROUNDUP
SCHOOL TRUANTs
STATE OFFICER is ACTIVE IN
ENFORCING sorry
SCHOOL LAWS SOUTH
DAKOTA

Huron, Oct. Sra Howell, OF
Pierre, state truant officer connected
with the department of public in
struction, is in Huron looking up
complaints made to the department
by teachers in Beadle county coun-
try schools, stating that children OF
several families in the county are not
attending school regularly.
Mr.. Howell declares that many
complaints are being made to the
state department from all parts OF
the state in regard to delinquent
school children. Many of the In
stances are interesting, he declares,
in that parents are not posted on the
school laws of the state and many of
them are of the opinion that they
can keep their children out of school
il they desire and that no excuse is
necessary If they sanction the alb
sence.
One case which he quoted and
which he said was especially inter-
esting while it lasted, was that of a
farmer living in the northern section
of the state who advised the state
department that he would not send
his child to school il he did not wish
to, and that IL any of the officers
connected with the office of the state
superintendent r1i In an appearance
on his place he would use various
forms of inducement to hasten their
departure from that vicinity.
The state truant officer, however
declares that he decided to investi-
gate the case and upon appearing
upon the farm of the man in Ques-
tion. and explaining that all children
between the ages of eight and 16
years are compelled by law to attend
school, he was received and given the
best of treatment.
1t was found upon looking into the
law, he states, stiff fine could be
imposed upon all who did not heed
the rules in this regard, and that the
farmer in question, as well as many
others, when the law is explained in
the right manner, was willing to
abide by the decision and wishes of
the state department of public in
struction.

BELIEVES JAPS
WILL ACQU|ESCE
REPRESENTATTVE SMALL SAY
PEOPLE WILL CONSENT TO
EXCLUSION OF IMMIGRANTS
FROM u. s.

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Belief that
the government and people of Japan
will acquiesce in good faith" if
Japanese immigrants are excluded
from the United States are expressed
by John HI. Small, representative
from North Carolina, who arrived
here Saturday with the congressional
party which has been touring the far
east.
OF Japanese and their descendants
being forbidden to buy property, he
said: "As to the Japanese who are
already lawfully in the United States
different issue is presented. I
learn that proposition has recently
been initiated in California and will
soon be submitted to a referendum
which will prohibit these Japanese
from acquiring land by lease or
otherwise and likewise limit the
right of their American-born chill
dren, who are American citizens to
acquire or hold land. This will be a
dissemination against Japanese ma
tionals and will not apply to other
aliens. This does not appeal to my
sense of Justice, nor am convinced
of the necessity of such drastic ac-
tion. The movement appears to have
reference to farm land for the pur-
pose of eliminating Japanese farm
ers.'
Representative Small's statement
called attention to data recently
published which purported to show
Japanese land holdings were but one
and one half per cent of the total
agricultural area and the japanese
population as 87,279 or less than
three per cent of the total population
of the state. He added:
ut is difficult for a disinterested
citizen from another state to see any
yellow peril in this situation or how
the civilization of the state is threat
ened.
As to the American-born children
of Japanese parents who have all the
rights OF citizens surely they will be
assured the right to develop on a
parity with other citizens. l am not
suggesting the extension OF any fav-
ors to the Japanese. am only pre-
Z senting q fundamental Of right and
Justice.
"But this is not wholly a matter
for the consideration of California
Where an affront to friendly nation
is threatened and the. issue Of peace
or possible war Is involved. it is q
matter Of supreme interest to all thu
people of the United States.

TRADE OUTLOOK

JOBBERS THINK VOLUME WILL
BE WE'LL MAIN.
TANNED.

Sioux City, Oct. 5.--While hum
dreds of breeders throughout the
northwest are being forced into at
least partial liquidation in order to
meet their financial obligations, and
it is possible that heavy losses may
be sustained by many representatives
of the live stock industry, damaging
effects in general on trade are not
expected by Sioux City jobbers and
manufacturers.
There may be some curtailment
in stock purchases and minor mon
etary disturbances, but the contin-
uance of a reasonable degree of
prosperity is expected to prevail
throughout Sioux City territory.
Further, the opinion is expressed
in jobbing circles that there will be
slow return to normal mercantile
conditions. Price recession will be
slow and conservatism will be in
evidence in all the departments of
commerce. The farmer will have an
enormous crop to dispose Of and.
Notwithstanding falling grain quota
tions, should reap handsome re-
turn from the products Of HIS field.
