NORTH DAKOTA
. VERY STRONG
FINANCIALLY
q
People of All Kinds Are Bet
ting Strong on the Great
Crop to be Harvested

Fargo, N. D., July 22.-North Da-
kota is in 4 stronger position finan-
cially than almost any other state
in the Northwest, business men, bank
ers and credit experts say as the
crops are nearing the point where
the rust menace will be out of the
way for another eleven months.
One of the. most important of the
basic conditions at the bottom of the
states secure position, according to
the bankers, is the fact that people
here did not boost land values to
$500 or 5000 an acre here as they did
in some other states. Consequently
the chaos Of a 30 to so per cent
shrnkage in value has not hit the
state. 'asrf ...
People of all kinds are betting
strong on the great crop that seems
almost within their grasp but they
are holding their, breaths, just the
same, until the aust, hail and storm
danger is over. - s. .
o. A. johnson, one of the managers
of large department store here
says that the business volume is
slightly higher than the five year
average with the expectation of a
gradual increase.
A. o. Grimstvedt, an official of the
Fargo branch of a we'll known motor
company, says that orders for the
two makes Of automobiles Handled
by the company, trucks and tractors
can be filled only with difficulty and
that more business is in sight for
the next month. The Fargo branch
Office handles a territory which COW
ers parts of Minnesota, South Da-
kota and mdre than half of, Montana,
as we'll as this state, stretching over
a distance of more than 900 miles.

Many Mines Are Expected to

NEW MINES OPENED UP

Await Answer to Proposal
to End Strike
NEW MINES OPENED UP

Llgnite coal production is expected
to begin in full blast in North Da-
kota about August l., with q demand
during the fall and winter probably
greater than the supply. A few lig-
mite mines now are working at full
capacity, although many have not
started full production. One mine
west of the river is said to be 100
cars behind orders. bE2 sEr
Numerous small mines, wagon
mines and some larger mines, will
dot the country during the coming
fall and winter. A couple of small
mines have been opened up near
Washburn and shaft is being put
down for new mine near Garrison.
P. J. Cahill of Wilton, and F. J..
Anders of Fargo, were here last
night comforting as to the probable
operations of the Lucky Strike Coal
company of Zap. They had no an
nouncement to make at this time.
however.
Washburn Directors in State
Directors of the Washburn Ignite
Coal company, operating the mine at
Wilton, were in Fargo today after
spending several days at Wilton con-
sidering the matter of coal produc-
tion. They are expected to return
and within the next week to decide
upon policy. 4 ~.
The proposition advanced by direc-
tors of the company, that the North
Dakota Ignite fields be made q sep
arate mining district, as distinct
from the central competitive field
with which it is now classed in the
dealings between operators and union
men, has not progressed, beyond the.
proposal made. BY directors of the
company, it IS understood.
: This proposal was dispatched to
President Harding and Secretary
Hoover, Governor ,.Nestos indorsing
the proposal. The matter of sep
arate classification for Ignite fields
has been discussed at various times !
by operators and union officials.
North Dakota now is in the 9th dis
trict~of the United Mine Workers of
this district comprising
North Dakota and part of Montana
It also is treated under the same gen.
eral jurisdiction as the central COM
petitive field, composed of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and other central
states where bituminous coal is pro-
luced. There is held to o~be nothing
in common between the production
Of the two states, by the directors of
The Washburn people. Local union
officials, of the mine workers are un-
1erstood to have forwarded the mat
ter for a separate North Dakota min
ing district to union officials for con-
sideratiOn. - a.

Receipts of Wyoming coal and coal
from the east are practically neglI-
,ible in Bismarck, according to local
dealers. j. A. Larson Of the Car
penter company said that the COM
pany had received virtually no coal
from the Wyoming fields this year
whereas last year during the fall and
winter they received about 2,Ooo

has not, arrived but prospects are

This coal is used chiefly as range

Washington, July 22.-The federal
government concentrated its activi
ties in the coal strike situation to.
day in devising means Of distributing
to the best advantage the nations
dwindling coal supply and of adding
to it in every possible way. Indica-
tons were that steps along these
lines would be continued during the
ten days or two weeks period which
the government has decided upon as
a test of the efforts of operators tc
produce, coal in accordance with
President Harding's invitation.
Two departments of the govern
ment, the commerce and justice de-
partments were at work on a plan
Of coal distribution through a GEN.
tral committee sitting in Washing
ton and acting through local commit.
tees in the. principal producing Sec
items. The plan was today before
the department of justice for study
as to its logical aspects and Attor-
ney General Daugherty met with the
whole body of his assistants so as to
expedite an opinion as much as pos
sible. It, appeared doubtful whether
the opinion could be formulated to-
day although Secretary Hoover ex-
pected that it could be submitted
Monday to the producing operators.

tically every instance now are in

gin arriving at Atlantic ports with
their cargoes, Mr.. Smull said. Thir-
ty-one British vessels also have been
chartered in. the coal carrying trade
and should be able to bring 20O,OO0
tons month additional to American
ports.
Vice President Smull's announce
ment added that if the government
desired approximately 800 ships be.
