GAINES SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR NORTH DAKOTA LIGNITE-ST, PAUL COKING CONCERN PLANS T0 TEST Slope Land-Owner and Mine Operator Returns from Conference With U. S. Bureau of Mines at Washington—$10,000 Appro- priated for Federal Experimentation May Be Expended Here —Briquetting on Apparently Successful Basis Achieved by ; Plant at New Salem. Confident that North Dakota will receive its share of the $100,000 appropriation to be expended by the federal bureau of mines for experiments with lignite, and that the state will profit equally from experiments to be conducted by the bureau in Texas and other lignite- -producing states, A. D. Gaines of Minneapolis and the Slope is home from an eastern tour more than ever opti- mistic over the future of North Dakota’s greatest undeveloped resource—its 700 billion tons of black lignite. Mr. Gaines, in addition to farming and leasing several thou- sand acres of land in Oliver county, is a director in the large Con- solidated Collieries project at New Salem, where lignite is being mined on a stupendous scale. He made a trip east through Canada, down to his own home in Vermont, and thence to Washington, where, in company with a nephew who is a member of the Y. M. C. A. war council, he called upon Dr. Hood, chief of the bureau of mines, to discover what was being done about lignite.

It bureau conduct its felleral experiments in this lignite field. states, He called attention to the fact that it mattered little where the experimens were conducted, inasmuch as all lignite-producing states woul!! benefit from them. “The east realizes that its supply of anthracite is limited,” said Mr. Gaines today. “It knows the time will come goon when it must utilize the cheaper coals, and it has great confidence in the possibility of briquetting lignite. The bureau of mines desires to locate | irs experimental plants in towns which | tre large enough to consume the gi and other by-products which will manufactured in the briquetting coking of the lignite, thus maki BY appropriation go as far as possible. ; Dr. Hood is looking forward to ob-| taining a large number of oils and} gases of a commercial value, and he believes that a substitute for gasoline wil be one of these. These volatile! olls are lost when lignite is consumed in its natural form. They go up in} stuoke.” ‘Dr. Hood,” continued the lignite en-| tiusiast, “believes that North Dakota Hignite can be restored, covering it into eoke. and ‘conserving tha volatile sub- | stances now lost in consumption. ‘Some! wil! scout this idea, claiming that he-| csuse lignite slacks rapidly in burn-} or is coking about 1,000 tons of coal daily to supply St. Paul gas consumers. Its Plant when completed will have 2 1-2 times its present capacity, and St. Paul alone would offer an outlet for 2500 tons of lignite daily, or approxt- mately 912,500 tons per annum, equiv- alent to the state's total production erly a few Years ag0; ago.

The commission for ome time past has been one man snort, C. N. Kirk having moved from the city to Marshalltown, Ia... some time ago. Chris Bertsch has been Best commissioner of finance, and Thomp- son fire and water commissioner. Kirk was commissioner of streets and sew- ers, and since his retirement, his du- ties have been -divided among the other three commissioners. The appointive affocers of the com- mission are Cecil L. Burton, auditor; A. J. Arnot, treasurer EB. E. Morris, assessor; S. F. Lambert, chief of the fire department, and D. C. McLean, street commissioner. Whether, these appointments will be made tofhorrow evening cannot be ascertained. It seem to be the general convic- tion that in the new commission Bis- marck has the services of five as able men a8 could have beén selected for these positions. All. re, men of ldrge gractical ‘experience; they are Proerty owners and are men who are Progressive and who have contributed materially to the development of their city. IN HONOR OF MRS.
