400 Pounds of Dynamite Used il
Driving New Mine Entry

John Perlichek, prominent mining
man from Burlington, was in the city
Saturday and called at this office.
Mr.. Perlichek who is associated with
his two sons in the operation of new
mine, which they have just opened in
coulee south of the village Of Bur-
lington, states that their new entry
is into an exceptionally fine body of
coal. The new vein has a ten-foot
face. Over 1400 pounds of dynamite
was used in driving the entry and
the expense has been in excess Of
$4,000. The great depth Of the new
mine necessitates sinking a ninety
foot air-shaft to furnish ventilation.
The mining machinery is operated by
electric power, the Northern States
Power supplying the. current. The
mine employs union labor exclusively,
surfacemen being paid $3.50 per day
while the miners receive $1.24 per ton
for room work and $1.54 when driving
entries. Coal is selling for $3.50 per
ton FOB. Burlington.

Distinguished Lecturer on Indian
Customs

The recital given at the Auditorium
Monday evening by Harold A. Loring,
distinguished lecturer on Indian Gus
toms, legends, music and dances, was
the first entertainment to be held I'M
der the auspices of the city schools
this season. To one not familiar
with Indian lore this lecture had a
distinct educational value. The in
terpretive dances given by the Black
foot Indian accompanying Mr.. Lor-
ing, were a revelation to many.
1t is to be regretted that the public
patronage of the high school lecture
course is not such as to encourage a
continuance of the present policy of
bringing only high class entertain
ments to the city.

SALVATION ARMY TO LAUNCH
COUNTY DRIVE IN NOVEMBER

A drive for funds to carry the Sal
walton Army thru it's work during the
coming year, is to be launched early
in November.
A meeting was held today noon at
the Grand when the matter was dis
cnssed thoroly. Capt. and Mrs. Sherp-
ing Of the local Salvation Army were
present.
j. J. Eoyae, chairman of the meet
ing today, praised the Salvation Ar
my for the splendid work it did in
the war and for what it is doing to-
day. The officers get very little pay
and the money collected is all spent
III behalf Of unfortunate human be-
ings who need assistance. The Sal
walton Army does not merely admin
lister to mems souls, but their bodies
as we'll. They do not merely give
food and clothing to those in need,
but by their broad program, have
placed countless thousands of unfor-
tunates back onto the right track so
that they can earn their own living
and become respected citizens. Mr..
Coyle said he was sure the returned
soldiers, who had received so many
favors at the hands of the Salvation
Army in France and at the various
CTalnlnS camps, WOulO De gao 10 take
"a prominent part in the drive.
Capt. Gross spoke Of the splendid
work done by the Salvation Army in
England and France, where he was
during the war. Others spoke favor
ing the plan for county drive, be-
lieving that hundreds of people living
outside of Minot would be anxious to
do their bit.
F. C. Upton was elected chairman
of the drive committee and A. Hen
messy secretary. The executive COM
mittee comprises J. J. Coyle, Anthony
Walton and Capt. Gross. The exc
cutive committee will call a general
meeting soon to select committees.
A committee consisting Of F. B.
Lambert, Judge Leighton and Hal Da-
vies was appointed to take the mat
ter up with the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs and to consider the proposition
of another Community chest for Minot
for next year. If the Community
Chest drive goes on as usual, Minot
will pay it's full share for the Saliva
ton Army campaign thru the COM
munity chest as has been done during
the past two year, otherwise, the reg
ular drive will be put on in conjunc-
ton with the one for Ward county in
general.
Capt. Sherping explained that it re-
quires $4,000 to conduct the general
affairs of the Salvation Army in Mi
not, but more money could be used.

things. Adjustment to a great ex-
tent has already taken place III larg-
er business in the great centers, par
ticularly in the East. Now. adjust
ment is getting down to the average
man and necessarily to the people
with whom he spends his money;
hence the difficulties of getting back
to normal are being felt more than
in the past by many people, al
though there is no doubt that funda-
mentally and so far as basic condi-
tions are concerned. the financial sit
uation is certainly getting better.
We have an undoubted faith in the
future Of the Salt River valley. The
courage and fortitude shown by the
people during the past year and the
wonderful accomplishment in the
way of getting back to the first
principles is our greatest present
asset, and will mean more to US
through the coming years than any
other one thing.

Our Methods Are
Absolutely
Painless

BY our perfected method OF NERVE
Blocking, we are enabled to perform
the most difficult operations, in any
part of the gums or teeth, without
causing the patient the slightest
sensation Of pain or discomfort.
This method does not neeessitate
putting the patient to sleep nor does
it create any unpleasant after effect.
The gas that we administer, in cases
that require this form of anesthetie,
permits the patient TO go to sleep
comfortably and quickly with a per-
feetIy timed awakening. The pa
tient experiences no unpleasant
nausea or any other discomfort and
can leave the office within a re"
minutes after the treatment.

PHOENIX NOW HAS DEVELOPED
To BE A BIC CENTRAL POINT
FOR THE JOBBINC Of PRODUCE

The jobbing of produce to the Salt
River valley and the mining interests
of the state is one of the most i'm
portant branches OF the wholesale
business in Phoenix. The immense
production of fruit and vegetables in
this valley is distributed to all parts
Of the country through Phoenix
wholesale houses. These same houses
import other products from all over
the United States and foreign coun-
tries. distributing them all over the
Salt River valley and to the remote
mining districts of Arizona, where no
farming is carried on.
Produce is marketed for local con-
sumption to close to $4,000 people in
Maricopa county. Approximately 270
miles of paved roads makes it SIM
pie matter to deliver these goods to
the central markets.
In speaking OF the future pros
poets Of the produce business in this
valley. John +. Barker, of the Barker
Produce company, said:
1.-THE possibilities of cultivation Of
early marketable fruits and veget-
ables in this valley are so varied that
is 1t difficult to know when to stop
enumerating the classes that could
be cultivated and marketed profit
ably.
1T has been proven that early po-
tatoes can find ready market, as
we produce before some of the 9TH
er shipping districts. The planting
season starts in January and Febru-
airy and we will have early potatoes
in May.
1.-THE acreage Of strawberries is in
creasing and will continue to increase
as soon as we have enough to supply
local and export demand. There has
not yet been sufficient acreage plant
ed for large shipments to outside
points, but that time is fast coming
"The entire consuming public of the
United States already knows about
our Arizona head lettuce and Arizo-
ma cantaloupes. This soil and climate
is certainly adapted to the growth Of
as fine lettuce as can be grown.
Cantaloupes are all netted variety
and reach perfection in this valley.

INDIANS TRAVEL FREE

For 23 years the Apache Indians
have travelled free of charge across
the San Carlos reservation, in Ari-
zona, whenever they wished to do so.
They go by way of the Arizona East
ern railroad, which agreed to give
them free passage for 80 years. This
railroad, was held up for two years
because the Indians would not grant
right OF way across the reservation.
A conference was finally arranged.
Gifts were exchanged, a powwow fol-
lowed, and the pipe of peace was
smoked. Each Apache received ten
dollars cash and thirty-year pass.

quite distant points by express.
"Climate and soil are also adapted
to winter casabas.
"Deciduous fruits can be raised as
cheap and economically here as in
the larger deciduous fruit sections.
Culture of fresh dates is also
starting on a larger scale and there
is no reason why other varieties Of
fancy fruits such as fancy Japanese
persimmons and strawberry pome-
granates cannot be cultivated prof
itably.
From 1 to 20 acres is sufficient
acreage for any one man to farm
and cultivate properly, and at the
same time make considerably more
