Trucks @nd farmers wagons | are the last resort. - | Because the government refused to sell the trucks, purchased for yse of the armies during the war. and dis- tributed them to the different states | for use in their road betterment pro-| grams, North Dakota has something more than 300 trucks. About 250 of these were turned over to the) state! (1) runnjng order and have been main- tained in that condition. The others might be placed in condition through the services of a:good “Park Service (Unit” and the proper mechanics. With any numbe? of the former service men in the state capable of running these trucks, and using them in trains, as in campaign days, the states trucks would form a formidable force on any! kind of haulage assigned them. Pri- | vate interests in .the state, including | some city corporations have 1,463 ad- ditional trucks, these figures being the latest announcement.of the State Motor Vehicle Registration depart- ment, Many nf the privately owed trucks are of light construction and | not suitable for heavy or long dis- tance work. Fuel, according to men in the State departments who have been consider- | ing the matter, will be the first vital necessity. North Dakota is well sup- plied with meat and grain, and by necessity reverting to pioneer program of living, will be able to feed itself. | Fuel, for the towns that were not a! part of the pioneer program is an- other problem and one that will have | to be met first if rail transportation | ends. Western North Dakota has its supply of fuel in the lignite fields, fuel within easy hauling distance of all points in what is known as the Slope country. Eastern North Dakota is not | so well situated, many of the larger towns there being hundreds of miles from a lignite field, coal mine or ade- quate supply of wood. Estimates of the supply of coal or lignite now on railroad cars differs, The general estimate is that the sup- ply cf coal now controlled by dealers, and that owned by the railroads would be sufficient for two weeks of normal and present demand. With a shorten- el industrial demand, and conserva- | tion at every point, it might be pos-| sidle to extend-the supply to 20 days. Fuel transportation of some sort will be necessary for parts of the state within a week of thS ending of train | service; in the opinion of men who! have watched the fuel consumption of | the state closely, while: the demand | will be general at, the expiration of | three wéeks of trainless days. _ 6 I? almost es soon go hunt- without a rifle ‘as : without my Harley-Davidson.
