Thinks Coal Shortage
Will Be Relieved By
Promised Car Inf lux

Fargo, N. d. Nov. 6.-The prom
ised influx Of cars into the northwest
territory and into North Dakota may
bring relief from coal shortage in
this state. according to J.. w. Deemy
of Bismarck, a mine operator and
coal jobber, who passed through this
city. "
The present production of North
Dakota mines is nearly 10000 tos1
per day, says Mr.. Deemy, who hat
charge of the mines Of the state dur
ing the strike in 1919 and who Is
now openin ga new mine near Zap.
This production might be increased

easily be increased. The Beu!ah mine
at Beulah is third, with about 200 to
900 ons a day. The Beulah company
Is changing from an old to a new
mine and expects ia make 500 q day
when the new mine gets going.

The other mines range in produc-

The mining activities Of the state
may be divided into seven districts all

those valuable vapors and of improving
methods for their production and puri-

facturers can obtain carefully pre-
pared data. showing them what yields
of wood alcohol, acetate OF lime, tar

certain species of wood, provided they
have adhered to the best conditions of

The commercial importance of the
crude products of the industry may be

The chemist with what appears to be
an uncanny legerdemsin has trans

would be the waste material OF the
forest for the benefit of the average
citizen and householder.
The chemical utilization OF wood
harks back to prehistoric man. He
must have used wood as fuel, and in

completely into the gas carbon dioxide,

1894 Not Lacking in Interest
To Murphy, but He Says Nothini

What of his political future? Docs
he sincerely believe he can put a
Tammany man in the White House
Is it his ambition to close his career
by electing a President OF the United
States? Who shall try to answer these
questions? They are the queries heard
daily since Smith was reelected by
400. 900. Tammany is seriously taking
Smith for President. Murphy. as al
ways, is silent.
In his twenty years Murphy has
nominated four Mayors and elected
Gaynor and Hylan.
He has elected three Governors-Dlx,
Sulzer and Smith. He has been In OH
the nomination of one candidate for
President-James NJ. Cox two years
ago.
When Murphy jumped into the lead
ership twenty years ago Croker was
fading and triumvifeite was making a
bad mess of trying to run things. Then
he was called Joke two spot"
and sport" To-day he is sitting
pretty" with the metropolitan gov
ernment well In hand, getting ready
for n wonderful year in Albany. And
he is slowly but with much skill pre-
pairing also for 1924. He will go to the
next Democratic National Convention
as the most powerful political leader,
the head of the most powerful political
machine the one member of the Old
Guard whose power has grown in
stead of diminished and with a popu-
lar candidate and forty-five delegates
to back him up.
The old political alignments hold. In
Baltimore ten years ago Murphy and
Tom Taggart led the opposition which
baked Bryan and Wilson for a week.
They were beaten and they faced ter
rifle denunciation in Bryan's best
style.
But the combination held in 1920
and the Wilson element was beaten.
Cox was named. Tho combination
holds to-day and is getting ready TO
go to the next convention. Al Smith
will be one of the weapons. Murphy
and Taggart and their little band will
be stronger than ever, and even IL they
do not control the convention they
may have the veto power. They may
block the Wilson Nc Adoo forces; they
may land Smith in the Vice-Presi-
dency,
Perhaps this vision OF 1924 helps ex-
plain why the Boss isn't playing the
State political game quite as hard as
he did two years ago. He is looking
beyond the little patronage. 1t looks
as if he wants to give Smith a free
hand TO make as good an administra-
ton as possible for Tammany's credit.

about those foursomes and those

years has he been going into good

home, his rooms and their furnishings

them to be. They are what Murphy
likes and what he wants. There are
