U. s. TO BEGIN TESTS
IN Ignite BRIQUETS

Experiments in briquetting the lig-
mite coal produced in North and South
Dakota will begin shortly lat an ex-
pertinent station to be established by
the department Of the interior at
Scranton, N. D. An appropriation of
100000 was made for this purpose
four years ago but no step has been
taken up to this time to carry the
legislation into effect.
Senator p. J. McCumber and f. S.
Ladd Of North Dakota and Thomas
Sterling and Peter Norbeck, of South
Dakota, recently called upon Secre-
tary Of the Interior Albert B. Fall and
urged him to begin experiments to de-
termine whether the North Dakota lig-
mite could be briquetted and placed on
the market at a reasonable cost. They
urged this because of the high price
Of coal in the Dakotas and the urgent
need for some practical way Of util
izing the vast deposits of Ignite in
the northwest.
All the reports Of the geological
survey heretofore have been to the
effect that Ignite can be used econo-
mically in the manufacture Of pro-
Queer gas.
The same quality of coal is being
briquetted in Europe and used in the
industries and in the homes at a COM
paratively small cost to the consumer.
1t is contended by representatives of
the two states that with bituminous
and anthracite coal at present prices
it will be commercially feasible to
utilize the northwestern lignites. The
main difficulty in the experiments
made up to this time has been the
elimination Of water and finding a sue
cessful binder for the dried powdered
coal.
Should the experiments be success
full the people Of North Dakota and
South Dakota will be relieved of the
great expenses Of buying coal produc-
ed in the east and which carries a
heavy freight rate to the place Of
consumption.

Mohall Has a $4,000 Fire

Early Friday morning, the 18th,
fire was discovered in the business
district Of the city Of Mohall, by q
farmer living near the city limits and
who turned in the alarm by phone,
The H. & M. big department store be-
longing to j. M. Phillips, and the Sol
berg restaurant were completely de-
stroyed. The fire had gained SO much
Roadway before it was discovered that
very little of the merchandise was
saved. Mr.. Phillips, billiard and
Hiener were the first to arrive and
succeeded in saving some Of the equip
ment from a butcher shop. Mr.. Phil
lips carried some insurance but not
enough to cover all his stock. Mr..
billiard saved nothing but his Ford
truck which was parked directly in
front of his place. The estimated
loss is about $30,O0O.00. Just how
the fire originated is mystery but
those who were on the scene figured

Minot Men Mentioned for Federal
Judgeship

Names of several North Dakota at
torneys, regarded by members Of the
bar as competent to fill the United
States district judgeship in the event
that congress passes the bill provid-
ing for the appointment of a new
Judge, have been mentioned since dis
cussion of the subject became gen
eral in the state.
The fact that two candidates, An
drew Miller Of Bismarck and Seth
Richardson Of Fargo, have been in
Washington seeking the appointment,
neither possessing the endorsement Of
the attorneys, of the state who are
regarded as most competent to pass
upon the qualifications of an appoin-
tee, has resulted in attorneys consid-
ering among themselves names of
others whom they regard as being in
line for consideration.
At Bismarck the names of Justice
A. NJ. Christianson, justice Of the
state supreme court; Judge w. l..
Nuessle of the Burleigh district court,
and w. c. Crawford, former judge of
the Stark district court, have been
suggested.
The names of Aubrey Lawrence, A.
G. Divet, A. w. Cupier and A. W.
Fowler Of Fargo, also have been men
toned among the attorneys as wor-
thy Of consideration at the hands of
the. Harding administration.
Another Bismarck name brought
into the discussions recently is that
of Alfred Zuger, the law partner of
Andrew Miller.
Judge E. B. Goss of Minot, Francis
Murphy of Minot, and Judge l.. j
Palda, Of Minot, also are being con-
sidered in some quarters.
Attorney Dave Richie Of Valley
City is still another whose name has
been considered.
Definite action by the house of rep.
resentatives judiciary committee is
expected next Tuesday, when the bill
is due for consideration.

gone by, thanks to the popularity Of Godey College with
the people OF Wilmington and the surrounding country
the attendance at these delightful educational functions
has taxed the seating capacity Of the auditoriums in
which they have been held We do not hesitate to pre-
dict that that remarkable record will hold good this year
and that The Playhouse, large II is, will be hled
