Minnesota Can Secure
Ignite Coal for Fuel
Gov. Preus, Starting Survey of Wood,
Told Dakota Can Ship 100000
Tons of Coal

Minnesota may depend upon large
shipments of Ignite coal from North
Dakota to alleviate the threatened
coal famine this fall, according to in
formation received at the office Of
Governor Preus Tuesday.
j. w. DENNY, president of the
Northwestern Coal Sales company,
advised the Governors office that
100000 tons of North Dakota Ignite
will be available.
A conference on the coal situation
between Governor Preus and John F.
MCGEE will be held soon. A survey
of the states wood supplies to de-
termine what extent the shortage of
coal could be met by substitution of
cut timber ready for haulage was
begun Tuesday. The work is being
carried on under the direction of
Commissioner Of Agriculture N. J ].

Rye Harvest Is in Full
Blast IN This Section
Yield Will Be the Best for Years
Other Small Grain Rather Light
Corn Prospects Good

The cutting of rye started in this
section of the state the latter part
of last week and it will all be cut
within the next ten days. The rye
crop is said to be the best in west
ern Stearns County that it has been
for years.
Because of the continued dry
weather the yield of the other small
grains will not be so heavy. While
the cool weather for the past two
weeks has been extremely favorable
for the filling of the heads and de-
ve1opment of the berry, the straw is
short and the stand is rather thin.
The yield per acre will probably be
only average but the quality should
be high grade.
The corn crop, while not as far
advanced as last yeear at this time
is good stand and with normal
fall should develop into very sat-
isfactory yield.
Never in the history of this sec
ton has the potato acreage been as
heavy as this year.
The fields look healthy but rain is
badly needed if this crop is to mature
satisfactorily.

MAKE LONG FLIGHT

Friday evening of last week an air
plane landed at the flying field north
of Sank Centre. The plane carried
two passengers. The pilot said they
came all the way from Fort Worth,
Texas, to fish in the splendid lakes
around Sank Centre. They made the
trip in easy stages stopping where
ever their fancy dictated, and carried
passengers on short trips to make a
little gasoline money. The pilot is
an old army flier, and was an in
structor of pilots during the World
War. They expect to spend several
weeks in this vicinity. The machine
is Curtis eight biplane.

County Commissioners
Planning Yearly Budget
Money for Various Activities of the
County for 1928 will be Pro-
vided for

The annual appropriation for the
county budget probably will be set
this week by the board of county
commissioners, who opened their
semi annually meeting Tuesday in
the office of Chairman p. N. Lair,
Institute building st. Cloud.
Members of the board were unable
to estimate Tuesday whether the ap-
preparation will show an increase or
a decrease.
Routine business occupied the
meeting Tuesday. School and set-off
petitions were being heard during
much of the session.
A representative of the Minnesota
Ten Thousand Lakes Association APP
peared before the board and urged
that the county post signs along ira
vel routes drawing attention to lakes.
The board took the suggestion under
consideration. The meeting may last
for several days.
The board Of equalization meets
shortly.
92A5. -
During the coming year Stearns
county is to operate on $39, 059.00
less than at present.
On Wednesday the board of coun-
ty commissioners sliced the county
budget practically ten per cent upon
setting aside as the new budget a
figure Of $306,941. This does not
necessarily mean that county taxes
will be reduced. The board, upon in
vestigation, has learned that the as
sessed valuation of the county has
dropped somewhat in the past year.
Out of the new budget $146,941 is
set aside for general expenses. This
is decrease of $4,000 over the gen.
|eral expense item for the last budget.
A decrease is also noted in the ap-
preparation, for road and bridges,
100000 being set aside, a reduction
of ten per cent over the old figure.
For bonds and interest $4,000 is
set aside, the same figure, practically,
as last year.

Duluth-Pressure must be brought
to bear to settle the prolonged strike
in coal mines If q serious coal short
age in the Northwest is to be averted
this fall and winter, the local fuel COM
mitee appointed at the request of
Julius H. Barnes, president of the Uni
ted States Chamber of Commerce, tele-
graphed President Harding after a
meeting with the board of directors of
the Duluth Chamber, of Commerce.
Figures were presented to show that
docks at the head of the lakes had
100000 tons Of bituminous free coal
and 100000 tons of anthracite on hand
as compared with 100000 tons of
bituminous and 100000 tons of anthra-
cite at this same period last year.
Little or no coal has been coming
up the lakes this season and the sup
plies on hand are being drained, reg
ular shipments being made to lower
lake ports. it was said.
The fuel committee pointed out that
even if the coal strike is settled during
the summer thb supply OF railroad cars
will be insufficient to meet the de-
mands from all parts of the North
west. Plenty of lake tonnage will be
available, 1t is believed, and If suf-
ficient railroad cars are found. enough
coal can be shipped up the lakes in so
days to tide the Northwest over the
winter.
Governor Preus, alarmed by the
prospects of a coal shortage in Min
nesota next winter, met with state
department heads in the Capitol to ar
range survely of the wood supply
in the state, to determine the feasibil-
ity of cutting thousands of cords Of
wood to meet the threatened emer-
gency.
The Governor declared that the
strike situation has created an unpar-
alleled shortage for this time of year
at the head of the lakes. He said
that a coal famine must be seriously
considered.
II have no desire to brighten the
people of Minneapolis or of the North
west over this situation or any other"
Governor Preus said, "but with all at
tending circumstances, the situation
this year is unparalleled, and certain
ly demands Immediate attention.

SPORTSMEN FORMULATE
PETITIONS ASKING FOR
REDUCING BAG LIMITS
Ask That Chinese Pheasant
Limit be Held to is Birds
and That Quail be Protected,

A request that the bag limit on Chi
nese pheasants be held down to what
it was last year and that there be no
open season on quail in Cmatilla
county this year are. formulated in
petitions to the state game warden
and the state game commission,
which was drawn up last night by the
members of the game committee of
the Pendleton Rod and Gun club. The
petitions will be circulated in every
community in the county in an effort
to secure as many signatures as pos
sible before they are sent to the war;
den and commission.
At a recent meeting of the game
commission the open seasons were
made uniform over the state. When
the season on Chinese pheasants was
heightened from eight days, which it
was last year to IL days, the bag
limit was automatically increased
from 5 to 80 birds. Due to the hard
winter in .1921-1922. local sportsmen
declare that such a limit will result in
such a slaughter of pheasants that
two or three years of closed seasons
will be necessary to prevent their ex-
termination. Quail are also very
scarce, and the sportsmen want their
numbers conserved until they become
more plentiful.
