Dr. Stickney regards it an Hnpos: sibility y the grea consumers on the their state to install this fall new fire-boxes which would permit the economical burning of lignite. The principal diference between a lignite fire box and one designed to burn bit- uminous is that the former is consid erably larger. A better draft is also required for lignite, which is a mat- ter of flues as much as furnace. Un- doubtedly the ex lence of this fall and of several ns past will con- vince eastern coal-users of the adyis- ability of burning lignite, but thte change cannot be made on a Ks’ notice, and the situation as re- gards these consumers is practically ox bad as though they did not have 700 billion tons of good, old retable lignite almost at their doors. Prejudice Manufactured. As a_ matter of fact, prejudice | against lignite has been deliderately | § fomented in the eastern section of | j 10.00; the state in the past by interests who could not believe that anything good could or ever would come out of the Slope and who were determined to! prove the correctness of their prem: | ise hy even going to the extent of act- ually opposing the development of this great natural resource.

Single cargoes brought by jitney over the Red trail from Wi- baux, Mont., to Bismarck represent a value of $900 on arrival here, and at least one such cargo, says reliable in- formation, is coming into Bismarck every week in one handsome, seven- passenger, six-cylinder car. The stuff is perfectly good whiskey, costing $1 to $1.50 per quart in Wi- baux. Here the jobbing price is $4 per quart, but by’ the time it gets to the consumer it costs $5 or more, and they're glad to pay it. One little party recently consumed $15 worth of this commodity and declared it first rate red liquor, it is said. A trip to Wibaux and return by jitney consumes three days. The net profit on an average load of 180 quarts is $450. safe. It's being done, at least, accord- ing to good information.

OF AGENTS Reports come from the Berthold res- ervation country, which was parti larly hard hit in spots by the seasons dry. weather, that the Montana Drouth Insurance Co, has special agents busy there in an effort to welch on the company’s policies. “The: to beable to pay the in: ranc partment. “Some have accepted their return premium, and others have’ re- fused. If the company is insolvent, it should, be dissolved legally and not allowed to sneak out by returning the . premiums. It is har ‘dly probable that they are offering “to return premfums to those who have suffered no loss. At any rate, policyholders cannot tell, unless it is done in legal form. The company should be made to perform according to contract.” Many Wrote Business. This is one of a number of insur- ance companies which wrote a large amount of business in North Dakota early in the season guaranteeing. the investment in crop, usually up to $7 per acre. Insurance. Commissioner Olsness called attention to these com- panies at the time, and impressed up- on the farmer the fact’that he was not being insured a crop, but merely enough insurance to make up, with such crop as he might harvest, the -| amount invested in seeding and culti- vating, up to $7. A great many farm- ers undoubtedly went into: these com- panies believing they were being. in- sured the value of a, hormal crop of claim not; 12% bushels of wheat to the acre. and and | of other grains in ratio, even after the which the companies bound them- selves. ‘These farmers are doomed to disappointment, but it will be by no means as bitter as that which must be suffered by those in the Berthold company, who see going glimmering the possibility of getting anything be- yond. the mere amount they have in- vested in their policies, Hail Losses Light. Fortunately for these companies and for concerns writing a straight hail in- surance business, the damage from hail has been far below the average for the last 10 years. The few in- stances where hail damage has been reported have been unusually severe, | and the loss over good sized areas has been complete, but the state as a whole has enjoyed almost complete, companies will to a large extent re- coup the tremendous loss which they suffered in 1916.
