getting its proper portion Of such
coal as reached the Lake Superior
Docks, and concluded that if reoc-
currences of coal shortages were to
be avoided in North Dakota it could
best be done by promoting the use
of North Dakota's own natural re-
source. Upon returning to Bismarck
he set about the task of compiling
the distances from mines to destina-

available route, has given considera-
ton to switching rates at Junction

lions every sidetrack in the State

There are 80 such stations ir

agents at 594 Of these stations and
Mr.. Smart's book indicates those sta
