DAKOTA STRIP COAL
 PORTENDS NEW ERA

MINOT, N. D., Jan. 29.-ExpertS estimate tnat 5i6,000,000 tons ot coal, enough to last the United States 10 centuries, lie under North Dakota's rolling wheat fields and ranch lands.
 Already steam shovels are scoop ing it from the surface where a few years ago sod house pioneers toiled with pick and shovel.
 Electric generating plants, built at the mines, are converting the fuel into power for transmission over high voltage lines to industrial plants in North Dakota and neigh boring states.
 The start was made by Elmer Truax at Columbus, in the north west part of the state. He found the strip mining so profitable that he cpcned another mine at Velva. Eastern investors were attracted and amalgamated his holdings. Now power companies are rapidly buy ing up the choice properties.
 Estimated cost of the Ignite for plants at the mines is 90 cents a ton. With rapid extension of pow CT lines business men see an indus trial era looming for the farm country.

 What better could an O. Henry ask than the tale of the keeper at Isle Royal lighthouse, who raised a family of 12 children on a lonely rock on the north side of Lake Su- perior.
 The man had helped build the lighthouse and applied for the po-

 An assistant keeper at Cape Sari- ;hef, in the Aleutian islands, Alas "a, set out in Arctic weather to nike across the snow 20 miles to visit his nearest neighbors, the light keepers at Scotch Cap
 To cross deep, swift glacial stream he removed his clothes. In attempting to throw them across the stream they fell in the water and were carried away by the cur rent. The man was forced to walk unclad four miles in the snow. He reached Scotch Cap without ex- periencing any ill effects and bor- rowed clothing for the return trip.
 Women lghtkeepers figure in the colorful record The woman keeper of the Angels light in San Fran cisco bay reported that after the machinery of the fog signal was dis abled at one time she struck the bell by hand for 20 hours and 35 minutes until the fog lifted.
