PRODUCT WILL MEET
INDUSTRIAL DEMANDS

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 27-LP)--
Experiments conducted by the school
Of mines. University Of North Dakota.
with stations in Hebron and Grand
Forks, indicate that the product pro-
cured by first carbonizing raw Ignite
and then briquetting the char fuel
is capable Of meeting industrial
demands, according to DR.. Alfred w.
Gauger, director of mines and mining
experiments at the school of mines
here.
DR.. Gauger explained that the
method of carbonizing and briquet-
ting originated with the late Dean
f. j. Babcock of the North Dakota
school of mines and his assistants.
The United States bureau of mines
has been cooperating in the work of
developing and industrializing Ignite
in order that the extensive Ignite
fields west Of the Mississippi, an
area which is now largely coal i'm
porting, may commercially produce
this fuel by cheap carbonizing
process.

-FOUR DEATHS REPORTED
Situation Becomes More Crit.
ical With Forecast of
General Rains
-FOUR DEATHS REPORTED

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 27.-LR--
with thousands already driven from
their homes and property damage
estimated in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Kentucky today were
preparing to meet an even greater
emergency.
General rains we're forecast.
Nashville, Tenn, with more than
10 blocks inundated, and $500 people
driven from their homes, was prob
ably the most severely hit point in
the area affected by the floods.
Four were known dead as result
of the swollen rivers and other small
cr streams in the affected area.
Three were drowned when their au-
tomobiles turned over into a small
stream. Exposure from wading in
a creek was the cause Of q fourth
death.
Nashville Flooded
The crest Of the flood at Nashville
is expected to be reached tomorrow.
Estimates of the probable number Of
people who would be driven from
their homes, should the Cumberland
river attain the expected 50 feet, in
crease to 400 while buildings which
would be flooded would pass the
1000 mark.
Swollen streams in Mississippi had
sent hundreds away from their homes.
More than hundred had vacated
their dwellings as the waters from
the Tombigbee river inundated
section of the town. Damage to
highways, livestock and crops there
Is expected to exceed 100000.
Families marooned rear Columbus,
Mississippi, were aided by relief
crews in motor launches, and uncon-
firmed reports were that several had
drowned. West Point, Goodman and
several other Mississippi towns re-.
ported heavy damage from floods.
Continuous gneral rains over parts
Of Arkansas had brought the water
levels in hundreds of streams to rec
ord breaking heights. There was
heavy damage to highways, livestock
and crops.
Tennessee Hardest Hit
The rivers in Tennessee have caus-
ed considerably more area to be
flooded than in any other single state,
it was believed. Roads in many
sections of the lowlands have been
abandoned and water was standing
in some places at several feet deep.
Reports from Kentucky towns and
cities, located on swollen streams,
were that much property damage was
done but that no deaths had been
reported in the state as q result of
flood conditions.
With the exception of Virginia. the
Carolihas and Florida, rain was FORE
cast for every southern state before
tomorrow night.

The past weekend marked the
first interscholastic basketball game
for the new girls school and was
played against the old rivals at
Pittsfield. While the Quaker girls
car1e home with some disappoint-
ment, they advanced on alibis and
were generous in praising the expe-
rlenced teamwork of their oppo-
nents as we'll as the cordial hospi-
tally which was extended them. The
next game with M. c. I. will be plav-
ed at Oak Grove on February "a.

money to purchase the goods and at
what rate of interest. The commit
tee was also empowered to make
the list of goods to purchase, and
other necessary arrangements.
1t was decided that the goods be
kept at the home of Horace Quimby,
and that Joel Richardson /be the pur-
chasing agent.
The spirit of cooperation was car
ried out not only in the buying of
provisions but the purchasing OF
grass seed, fertilizer and grain. They
voted to hang together in selling
their wool. An agent was chosen to
ascertain where the wool could be sold
at the highest price and to look after
the sale of it.
They also sold their eggs in the same
manner. It was voted to sell goods not
belonging to the order for not less than
10 per cent gain.
The goods remained at Mr.. Quinn
by's house until 1880. when the Grange
voted to build a store at North New
port Church Corner. The Grange dur
ing it's early years had library which

POSSIBLY THERE ARE COMPEN.
,.a- SATlONS

Are we to conclude that the per-
sonal affairs of Rupert Hughes, nov
. elist, and Amundsen, who avoided
newspaper men when he essayed his
airplane adventure in the Arctic re-
gions-until his return from some
place-are so bad that they must
have publicity at all costs? The
former attacks Washington, the lat
ter is reported to have declared DR..
Cooks claim to discovery of the
North Pole as good as that of Peary,
. though he denied it with qualifica-
'tions the next day.
Doubtless he had heard of the ex-
pedient of the country editor when
hard up for copy, publishing one day
q report of an outbreak of Indians
on the reservation and denying it
the following day, meanwhile keeping
his readers satisfied. Such would-be
public characters evidently feel they
must keep their names before the
public. II. must be somewhat har-
I assing life, but we suppose it has its
compensations. However, 1t isn't
clear where the public gets any real
compensation for the time it spends
in reading about it all.

posits. The soil Of its three rivers

however, are controlled by Russia
, and Japan, those on the north by
. the former and those on the south
by Japan. There has been intense
competition between these lines TO
the advantage Of Japan. The situa-
ton is further involved by reason
of Russia's desire to retain easy ac-
cess to the Pacific and Japan's to
control this outlet in her own inter-
/. ests.
Russia has sent to China, that is
In nominal control. an ultimatum and
according to the last account China
was endeavoring to comply with 1t,
, though her ability to comply in re-
atty is doubtful. Under pressure
she has for several years yielded
fresh concessions to the Japanese,
though at the conclusion of the Rus
so-Japanese war both those countries
in 1907 agreed to evacuate Manchu-
ria, which agreement has not been
