$1,000,000.00 CORPORATION T0 HANDLE LIGNITE Consolidation ‘of Producing, Dis- tributing and Consuming Interests Proposed Merit ; 3 SEEK FUEL INDEPENDENCE Would Make North Dakota Self- Supporting so Far as Coal Is Concerned ‘ A complete plan for the organiza- tion of a million-dollar corporation to ‘promote the production and distribu- tion of lignite coal in North, Dakota will be submitted to the state council of defense at its executive meeting Friday. The plan contemplates the issuance of a million shares of stock at one dollar the share. The cor- poration is to be composed of mem- bers of the state council of defense, lignite producers, retailers, jobbers, wholesalers and consumers of. coal, transportation men and others who are anxious jo avert a fuel famine next winter. : May Enter Many Lines The form of incorporation proposed would permit the North Dakota Coun- cil of Defense corporation, as the com- pany is to be kiiown, to “engage in whatever enterprise and businesses are necessary to further the produc- tion of lignite coal and its distribution to the people of the state of North Dakota, or which may further the production of food for our army and navy.” The tentative plan would con- fs stitute the governor and other mem- h bers of the state council of defense, : with Dean B. J. Babcock of thé~col- 5 leeg of engineering of the state uni- versity, and Attorney Benton Baker, § executive secretary of the North Da- kota fuel administration, trustees of the proposed corporation. These trustees, by virtue of the corporation, may engage in the business of trans- portation of merchandise, mail or ex- press matter; or in whole or in part in supplying light, heat or power, or other public service; or manufacture, sell or-repair machines, equipment or supplies or other articles used by cor- porations of either or both classes above named; or engage in the busi- ‘ness of advertising, in the cars or upon the prethises of railways or rail- road companies, and it may borrow money for any of the purposes afore- seid. \ May Issue Bonds. Upon authority of two-thirds of the members, the trustees may issue botids, encumber or dispose of shares of stook, securities or other property from time to time held by them. The corporation will pay no dividends, and it will devote the entire net receipts and profits to such patriotic purposes ag from time to time shall be deemed advisable by the trustees. “fhe trast so created shall continue for 21 years, unless it shall be termin- ated earlier by vote of two-thirds of the stockholders. 4 As Patriotic Daty. _The North Dakota lignite industry ‘at the present time is controlled by a \great number of small, scattered in- ‘terests, between whom there hasbeen little opportunity. for, cooperation. As @ result, the council of defense feels, the production of lignite and ifs con- sumption in North Dakota has ndt developed to the degree which it should. In view of the fact that all eastern anthracits and bituminous coals promise to be needed in the + ptoduction of munitions, in furnishing motive power for transportation and in the production of heat east of the Mississippi, at least during the course o fthe war, the defense council be- Meves one of the greatest patriotic 4 duties it can perform for North Da- mM kota is to make it. practically inde- \péfident of these outside sources of supply through the development of its own feul resources. This, the council urges, can best be done by amalgamating the coal flroudcers of North Dakota in one large corpora- tion, in which the elements of pro- duction, distribution and consumption will be joined and harmonized. Such a corporation, the council believes, would be in a position to procure more .publicity and. greater cooperatioti ftom all the people, and it is con- tended that North Dakota, from a {uel statidpoint, can in a very short time be placed on a. self-supporting -basas. _North Dakota, the United States géological survey estimates, has 700 Mion tons of workable lignite in is of commercial value. No point i. North Dakota, Capt. I. P. Baker, féderal fuel administrator for North Dakota, points out, is more than 250 miles distance from one of these lig- nite fields, and low transportation has been a factor in favor of Tignite. PARIS OBJECTIVE OF NEW MOVE asa eRe ‘Paris, June, 11.—All the) advices from the battle front show that the en- emy is putting forth every possiblé = effort if his design to push toward . Paris, throwing division after division into the melting pot. So far he has sucteeded’ in two days of ‘fighting, in carrying forward his line at te maxi- nium point of advance, at Vignemont, a distance of six miles. In this he has been thaterially aided by a consider- able number of tanks which the French artillery was at first unable to demolish. The enemy further succeeded in wid- ening the point of his wedge by bring- ing up two divisions of the guards and two Bavarian divisions borrowed from the army group of Crown Prince Rup- precht. These troops captured the viltuges of Mery, St. Maur and Belloy, giving him a plateau behind which he ~ can mass troops partly screened from oscryation. “t{ fhe danger, to the French is in lésiftg ground that is valuable as room if<-which to maneuver, the German peril. lies in the human wastage that ig {h* progress. The German army as a Whole has been engaged for the last ; three months with slight facilities for Bet renewal. The balance seems to be in favor of the French. ~ The resist- ance that is being offered by the Freneh forces in this battle has not been surpassed for determination ‘dur- iW i {P.

The Germans were able to capture neither Le-Ployon nor Cour- celles.

D., June 11.—The stage is being set by County Superin- tendent M. E. McCurdy and his lieu- tenants for the big McLean county in- terscholastic meet, which is to be pulled off at Underwood, Friday, June 14. On account of many of the-big- ger boys enlisting and going to war, it has been expected that the field day for this year would be somewhat un- interesting but from present prospects, it promises to be the most hotly con- tested yet attempted. e The Washburn school has won the cup for two straight years and if it should win again this year it will re- tain possession of it. Whether Wash- burn will be able to do this is prob- lematical, for some of the other big- ser schools are letermined that it shall not. Washburn is in the same position as Wilton was two years ago; Wilton then had won the banner two years in succession. Washburn then came along and‘\prevented Wilton from chinching the trophy. Washburn hag _ lost at least tive event-winning, students, three on ac- count of the war. But this by no means dampens the ardor of the Wash- burnites, who are as determined as ever to carry off.,the honors. The weakness sustained in the high school is hoped to be offset by the improve- ment in the grades. It has not yet been fully determined which of the schools is, going to give Washburn the best run for its money. According to the best information on hand, the most formidable’ competitors will be Turtle Lake, Underwood ane Wilton. The former town hag been practicing hard for some time, it is said.
