fuel. This figure is SO vast as to be
beyond human calculation. Regarding
this wealth of coal Joseph M. Devine.
commissioner of immigration, has
penned this prophecy:
1.-THE state has the greatest deposit
of a continuous stretch of coal of any
locality in the world: larger than the
combined coal deposits of England,
France and Germany, the great coal
producing and industrial nations of
Europe. There is here enough coal to
warm every home and turn every
wheel in every factory in the country
for 200 years, and still barely scratch
the surface of this special gift to the
people of North Dakota. The day can
not be far distant when this coal, long
waiting the magic touch of organized
capital, will produce cheap electricity
and shoot it hundreds of miles away
for heat, power and light. What is
needed? Vision, enterprise, organiza-
ton, and capital"
In 1913 only 813, 900 tons of Ignite
were mined. In 1927 this had been
increased to 1929 54 tons, valued at
50, 1852 500. This industry is practically
all confined to the so-called slope
area"
Clay Deposits Enormous
The Missouri Slope also has enor-
nous deposits of high grade clays,
suitable both for brick and pottery;
also dakolite, bentonite, and other val
liable minerals. Many brick and other
manufacturing plants have been OPP
Grating with success, and if the pref
erential freight rates now accorded
to outside manufacturers can be over
come, these industries are sure to
grow.
In a recent article on the mineral
resources Of North Dakota, Irwin La
vine of the engineering staff at the
state university expressed himself as
follows:
ut can be stated that the develop
ment OF u Ignite and clay resources
is of prime importance to the eco
nomic development of this state. To
this end, research work along indus
trial lines must be maintained. The
industrial activity manifested within
the last few years is but an indication
Of the future. Without doubt North
Dakota stands ready to assume q po-
sition Of industrial Importance In the
northwest"
If the industrial research suggested
by Prof. Lavine cannot be secured in
any other way, it might we well to
form an independent association for
that purpose.

UG1OlC.
1t was a desperate situation. The
gigantic W yes pitched me from
pocket to crest, from crest to pocket.
The Sleet froze on my hair and
slashed my face. My clothes were
weighty and the only value In the
life-belt was that it kept me from
completely ~Submerging. The water
was so cold that only by a miracle
of endurance could I hope to escape
death longer than an hour.
An hour to live! Probably not
more than half an hour of con-
Sc%iousness!
Curiously. for the moment, I gave
no thought to Thornton. The
whaler, its skipper, the Walrus,
Horn-Faced Harry, all seemed a blur
Of memory In which the only thing
which stood out was the discovery
OF a book of snapshots of Mrs.
Richards in the shippers safe.

More Terrible Fate!
That was a tantalizing mystery
which, within a few minutes. | was
to learn might never be solved.
Quite abruptly it dawned on me
I was not alone. Singular images
which I had taken for decisions
floated past, faces, once human but
now dead. blotched and already
bloated. Shrieking noises I had as
cribed to vagaries of the wind took
on human sounds. What had hap
pened?
Pieces of wreckage appeared. as II

empty, their sides crushed.
Had q ship gone down? What
ship?
Suddenly two large lifeboats shot
across my range. One was manned
with sailors in government uniform.
1n%stinctiyelv / recognized the out
lines OF a Seneca boat. The second
boat was nearer. Four hard-fea-
tured. disreputable- looking nonde-
script sailors were rowing. The
Walrus stood in the stern. Horn

As this boat swept by me. Horn

me under an armpit and lifted
ME in.

And the Walrus snarled like a beast
at bay.
The high seas, the sleet and snow
and the frenzied rowing soon con-
vinced the other boat that pursuit
was impossible. Approaching dark
ness enveloped us and added to our
security. In less than an hour we
had lost sight of the boat and also
the cutter. They had given up the
chase.
Horn Faced Harry must have had
Viking blood in his veins. In spite
Of the darkness and the weather,
there was something weird and un-
canny in the manner in which he
drove that boat. He knew exactly
where he was heading and how to
get there. With almost supernatural

THE CALIPH OF BAGDAD: Being Arabian
Nights Flashes of the Life, Letters and
Work of O. Henry. By Robert H. Davis and
Arthur B. Maurice. New York: D. Apple
ton & Co.
- AGDAD of the subway, not that of for
gotten Mesopotamia. The caliph, an
x American story-teller whose kinship
with old Haroun himself comes out in
their common Zsal for nocturnal
prowlings after strange adventure. The
caliphate Of one a decade of this century. That
of the other incident of a thousand years
ago and more.
Under this playfully flamboyant title these
two friends of o. Henry tell the story of this
popular writer's vicissitous life, recasting
Arabian Nights to fit after fashion the
career of the modern adventurer, William sgd
ney Porter. A story of a thousand incidents.
An understanding and sympathetic story that,
at the same time, is revelation in full, of the
man in strength and in weakness as well First,
the boy, roaming the South and Southwest for
work or adventure whatever it is that the
boy clearly sets out after Ranch life, clerk
in bank, writing for the papers, sending long
callow letters back home, letters that wanted
to be clever and were not, not yet. Then came
the bank trouble. Then Porter's move into
Central America. His return to the States and
a prison sentence for embezzlement In prison
o. Henry learned to write. From that point he
set out his way to the wide popularity that
later came to him. Embittered by this incident,
he spent both time and substance upon con-
cealment that in sense made 0. Henry man
of mystery It all comes out here under the
friendly disclosure of these authors. Other
facts pertaining to the literary ways of Henry,
to his general mode of life to his ambitions
and achievements, crowd this warm and genial
book of "reminiscences with matters of genuine
interest. Something of an idler, working often
only under pressure from waiting publishers,
something Of the spendthrift, often down If
not out, o. Henry was fire subject for unself-
ish friends TO work upon. And these two did
exactly that without making any point Of this,
it is all along patent here that disinterested
service was something of a necessity for o.
Henry. Sensitive, secretive, mysterious, yet q
beloved writer nevertheless, the man stands
here in a disclosure so intimate to dissolve
the long mystery Of his career The book is in
no sense q literary appraisal 1t is life story
Of deep interest.
Clearly q weak man. clearly not a great
writer, yet In the hour of his best work he did
contribute q freshness of outlook, a seizure Of
