BISMARCK MAY BE SCENE OF LIGNITE TEST Prominent Government Engi- ners Here Investigating Use of Great Resource S. M. Darling, ite specialist, and Dr. 0. P. Hood, director, of the United States bureau of mines, are in Bis-| marck investigating local lignite re- sources with a view to establishing somewhere in this vicinity one of the experimental plants for which the last session of congress appropriated $100,- 000, with a view to developing lignite; as a commercial product. The government cnginesrs have completed investigations in the Willis- ton and Minot fields, and they will lookd over mines at Wilton. Beulah and New Salem before leaving this section of the state. They were much interested in the high degre of effi- ciency obtained from the use of lig- nite in the local heat, light and power plant, which produces current to sell as low as three cents for domestic purposes and which consumes no} other fuel than lignite. The government is interested in the several possibilities which lignite pre- sents, and it will not confine its ex- periments to briquetting alone. In the briquetting field the bureau of mines expects to invest $20,000 in a local plant which will be financed to the extent of $50,000 or more by pri- vate capital, and to give the local cor-} poration the benefit of the govern: ment’s scientific researches, It is probable that the bureau will also go into the possibility of coking lignite and that it will establish a plant where the gas by-product can be disposed of locally. thus assisting in the financing of the experiment. Mr. Darling advises that the gas yeild is upward 10,000 cubic feet per ton af lignite and that the gas has a heat- ing value of 400 to 500 British ther- ial ynits per-cubic foot. A little more than one-half of the gas is necessary to carry on the carbonating process, and the balance can be used as a.city gas, for cooking, lighting or for fur- nace fuel. ROLETTE COUNTY MOST ILLITERATE Shire Enjoys Unenviable Dis-|i tinction, Says U. S. Bureau of Education Report *Rolette ‘county enjoys the unenvi- able distinction’ of having“ a greater percentage of ‘illiterate among por- sons from the age of 10 years. than any, other county in North Dakota, according to statistics furnished by the United States bureau of educa- tion. ‘Out of 966 tens years old and over, 14.4 per cent in Rolette county | ; are listed as filiterate. This fact. may He accounted for by the’ inclusion of a large Indian popujation, although no such explanation is furnished. The North Dakota counties which have had a large influx of immigrants in the last 20 years rank next to Rolette. in. the following order: Emn\yns, 13 per cent; Mcintosh, 12; Dunn, 10.1. Griggs, with only two-tenths of one per cent illiteracy shows the best recor in the state. Oddly enough, Grand Forks, seat of the North Dakota university, and with a population somewhat less than that of Fargo, shows 315 illiterates, as against 95 reported in the Gate City. Bismarck has 122 illiterates, while Devils Lake reports 129; Mandan, 148, and Williston, 125. Of the larger cities, Minot is shown to be the most learned, having but 26 illiterates in a population of 10,000. Three and one- tenths per cent of the state's males of voting age are illitera\ ; ] SUPREME COURT t' FROM TRAILL COUNTY Traill County, North Dakota, Re- snondent. vs. State of North Dakota, Appellant, Syilabus: There must .be some vleadings to sustain a Judgment, Appeal from the District Court of Traill County; Hon, A.

Our axle-is a quiet, smooth running unit, with a strong solid steel drop forging for carrying the load, and a live axle for transmitting power. Our live axle is in front of the weight-carrying forging, requiring a shorter propeller shaft, and lightening the load in the wheel bearings. This form of rear axle transmits a very large per- centage of engine power requires no massive hous- ing, thereby redi may je unsprung weight on the tires, and saves thé Wed a ‘axle from torsional strains. It is therefore ec6hi from every point of view, needing Jess care, |: i i@ longer, and using up less power and fuel than any other form of drive we could use.
