Senators P. J. McCumber and f. F..

Dakota, called upon Secretary of the
Interior Albert B. Fall and urged him
to begin experiments to determine
whether the North Dakota Ignite could
be briquetted and placed on tho market
at a reasonable cost. They urged this
because of the high price of coal in
the Dak0tas and the urgent need for
some practical way Of utilizing the
vast deposits Of Ignite in the north

1t is contended by representatives of

main difficulty in the experiments
made up to this time has been the
elimination of water and finding sue
