defense.
Continuation of a public works

Hoover made no mention Of either
the Boulder canyon dam project or
Of the operation Of the socalled

Weissmuller, defending the 100

won at Paris in 1924, made z show
of his field in the final Of the sprint
classic that was nearly turned into

Ignite Mine

A huge electric fan, capable of
moving 100000 cubic feet Of air eacn
minute, has been installed in the
Knife River Coal company's mine at
Beulah, according to report to Al
bert Washington, state mine inspec-
tor, by w. T. Kraft, manager of the
mine.
The fan, operated by huge motor
at the entrance of the mine, will in.
sure greater safety for the men
working in the underground pass
ages, Kraft said. 1t was installed
to improve health conditions in the
mine and to increase production.
Numerous improvements have
been made in the machinery at the
mine, which is believed to be the
largest producing underground lig-
mite mine in the state, the report
said.
approximately 800 men will be
used in the mining operations this
season, Kraft said. A second coal
crusher, with q capacity Of $50 tons
per hour, has been added to the ma
chine installed last year and mo-
tor generator set was installed al
the underground sub-station to gen.
crate power for the new machinery
Other new equipment includes a 10.
ton electric locomotive for use or
the mine rails; a cutting machine for
the actual mining and 60 new mine
cars, making q total Of more thar
400.
The trend in Ignite mining in
North Dakota is changing, Kraft
said. For many years it was be.
lieved desirable to mine Ignite in
as large chunks as possible. Now
however, the coal is crushed into
four or five inch pieces which tests
show give a greater number If heat
units than the same amount Of coal
in larger pieces.

Minneapolis, Aug. 49, R) -
Wheat had a snappy rally late in to-
days session, in spite Of q heavy
increase in the visible supply.
Strength in outside markets started
q rush to buy, and the pit was caled
out, prices running up sharply and
closing INC higher for the day.
Oats sagged early and turned
stubborn. Barley broke sharply on
hedging. September rye dropped
INC early and met good class Of
buying, some by exporters and mill
ers. September flaxseed rallied
strongly after low start.
Cash wheat offerings were large,
and new spring Wheat was 1c to &c
lower on the advance, with ease
largely in protein at Is per cent or
under.
Winter wheat was steady.
Durum was in light supply and
steady.
Flour trade was called good.
Corn offerings were large and de-
mand was fair.
Oats were in quiet to fair demand
and offerings were larger.
Rye offerings were large and the
market was easier, demand being
quiet to fair.
Barley was in heavy supply. and
while demand was good, prices
slipped off 2 cents. The price range
was 58c to CSC.
Flaxseed offerings were small and
the basis was steady.
