PROBE
OF UNIVERSITY
is PROGRESSING
Dean Babcock Reports Substan-
tial Progress Made and Work
About Completed
TO MAKE MANY TESTS
Material Will Be Put in Form of
Elaborate Analyses and
Reports Soon Made

Completion Of the investigation of
the commercial possibilities Of Ignite
coal is about completed according to
the report OF Dean e. J. Babcock Of
the Engineering Department OF the
State University to the Industrial
Commission for its annual report Of
1921. Field work was completed dur
ing the last summer by force under
the direction Of DR.. A. G. Leonard and
work will be completed and the report
formulated.
Last spring and early summer"
says Dean Babcock in his report,
considerable additional geological
field work on the coal deposits was
done by DR.. Leonard and his party
IN Bowman and Slope Counties and
thereby all of the field work which
could be covered by the provisions Of
:. this bill was completed. During the
past year a large amount Of work has
been done in the School of Mines,
analyzing and testing the coal sam
pies collected from the field, to show
their quality, character and adapta-
bility for various fuel uses.
In addition to these tests several
carloads have been shipped from typ
ical districts in the states for a series
Of larger and important tests at the
Mining Sub-Station. Some remaining
tests are to be concluded at the School
of Mines laboratories and after all the
data in the field work in connection
with the Geological Survey, the mine
survey and the tests of the Ignite have
been assembled and worked over, a
report covering the whole field of
work and the results will be pub
lished. The results Of this survey
and the special Investigations of the
coal deposits of the State have been
much needed by the land and other
state departments and think Will also
be very beneficial to the State as
whole"
After quoting at some length from
his report Of a year ago, Dean Bah
cock continued:
GAS has already been stated. the field
work and most of the tests provided
for in the bill have been completed
so far as could be within the pro-
visions of the act. This material will
be put in the form of a detailed re-
port, which will include maps of the
coal areas, analyses, tests and a great
deal CT information as to the quality,
hcrcter nd adptbility of this coal for
fuel purposes, together with lnforma-
ton as to whether or not the lands
having these deposits seem better suit
ed fer better coal development or for
othe' purposes and in addition to this,
there will be included a large amount
Of other valuable and needed informa-
ton. It is expected this report will
be issued and eff the press sometime
within the year."

Secretary Weeks Avoids Making
Specific Recommendation
in His Letter
MUST SPEND MORE MONEY
Says $4o,ooo,o00 to $50,oO0,OO
Must be Spent by U. S. to
Complete Project

Washington, Feb 2.-Henry Ford's
proposal for the government project
at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was sub
mittel to congress today by Secretary

The only suggestions contained in
the letter related to specific clauses
and the desiraIbility of amendment
which would, in the event Of the pro-
posal being accepted |by congress,
further safeguard the governments
interest. ~ ~.
Otherwise the secretary of war care
fully avoids reference to congressional
action involving the acceptance or
rejection of the offer.
I'm the event Mr.. Ford's proposal is
accepted" Secretary Weeks declared,
"the government must make new ap7
propriations amounting to
tween 40 and so million dollars Of
which Mr.. Ford will have the benefit
for approximately 100 years at 4 per
cent"
Must Spend Money
In the event the offer is rejected the
Secretary gave it as his opinion that
dam No. 2, Wilson dam. should be
completed by the government
''If this were DONE he continues,
"the government may Itself under
take to sell the products to the best
advantage. In such case the amounts
of the governments proposed invest
ment would be very materially re-
duced."
The secretary also suggested a mod
ificat:on by Congress so that in event
the operating company to be created
failed 70 carry out performance Of the
contract some penalty could be i'm

bismarck was not IN the path OF

south from the Winnipeg region over
the Great Lakes, according to reports
received by the weather bureau today
The worst CT this storm has passed
and although it is predicted that the
mercury will drop somewhat here to"
night it is expected to be somewhat
warmer tomorrow.
The snowfall which amounted t.
about IL inches bnought the total
amount on the ground where it had
not been disturbed to 8 IL inches.
The high wind which whipped the
snow about as it fell caused it to-
drift badly in many places. Automo-
bile travel was we'll nigh impossible
in the country but teams and sleds
made their way.
Four snoWplows were put into oper-
alton on the 500 line to clear up the
track. The North 500 did not arrive
last evening, having been stopped near
Ruso, in the northern edge of Nc
Lean county where the snow had
drfted to a depth Of several fees in a
Gus. The Is passengers on the train
were taken into town, quarter of a
mile away from the train, and we're
to remain there until the track was
cleared. All freight trains made their
way through heavy drifts. @.
Trains Annulled
A train from Max to- Sanish was an.
nulled as was the, North 500 due to
leave hero at o'clock this morning
The South 500 was to 60 out this
morning and it was expected that the
track would soon be cleared. Snow
was still drifting on the prairies,
however, and reports over the 500
said that it was StOrming around
Hankinson this morning.
Northern Pacific reports said that a
train on the. Mott branch was stranded
near Elgin last night, but was able to
get Though later, and that the Kill
deer branch experienced no great diff
ffculty. Main line trains were able
to get through but were late. The
Pingree branch train arrived in Will
ton on time last night, but was stop.
ped today, according to a report from
jamestown.
Little trouble was experienced by
the North Dakota Independent Tele-
phone Company and the Hughes Elec-
trio Company with their lines. 1t was
said at the telephone company Offices
that there were only two or three
cases of trouble on toll lines and very
little trouble on local lines. The arc
