PAGE TWO THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE . SATURDAY, FEBRUARY! 18 LIGNITE CAN BE CONVERTED INTO HIGH GRADE FUEL AND —_ { 400 Tons of Lignite “Ckar”) Briquettes Produced During Year at Hebron Plant y | STAND MUCH HANDLING ees Char Can Be Obtained Which Has Heating Value Equal To Anthracite Coai The 400 tons of lignite “char” briquettes produced at the lignite carbonizing plant at Hebron, North Dakota, during the past year is prob- ably the largest amount of lignite char briquettes that has ever been made at one time, according to a re- cent announcement of H. Foster Bain of the United States Bureau of Mines. The announcement was made in con- nection with a statement of some of the conditions concerning lignite de- velopment revealed in the experi- ments made at Hebron by North Da- kota, as represented by the Univers- ity department of Mines and the Unit- ed States Bureau of Mines. ‘Lignite, according to this state- ment which has the standing of. an announcement of the United States Bureau of Mines, “can be converted by carbonization into a high grade fuel adapted to a wide range of pur- poses and limited only by its relative cost. It cannot, however, be classed as a cheap fuel in the sense of com- peting with a high class, easily mined bituminous coal. “By removing the moisture and a considerable portion of the volatile matter from the raw lignite, char can be obtained which possesses a heat- ing value and chemical analysis quite similar to anthracite coal. In this process a ton of raw lignite will yield 40 per cent of high grade lignite char, The physical form of this char is such that approximately onesthird of jit will go through a one-eighth inch screen, the remainder up to pieces the size of shelled corn. By the ad- dition of 8 to 10 per cent of suitable binding material excellent briquettes | can be made, whose heating value and availability for general use is little Jess than that of Pennsylvania anthra- cite, “The fixed carbon in _ these briquettes may run from 72 to 81 per cent, aS compared with that of 35 per cent in raw lignite. This makes it practicable to transport the fuel to much greater distances than would be possible with raw lignite. When produced with suitable skill, the briquettes will stand handling, trans- portation and weather conditions in storage. The product is a stable one, thus rémoving the greatest limitation to the usefuness of the origina iig- nite. “It is estimated that of the present known lignite resources, 964,424,000,- 000 tons are in North and South fa and northeastern Montana. approxj- mately 23,000,000,000 tons in Texas, 7,404,300,000 tons in Alaska and rela- tively smaller quantities in several of the other western and southern states. The Alaska lignite resembles that of Texas and North Dakota. “The territory naturally tributary to the Dakota lignite deposits is North Dakota, South Dakota and Western Minnesota. Upwards of 2,000,000 tons of bituminous coal is shipped annually into that territory from Illinois, In- diana, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania with an average rail- road haul of 1,000 miles. If the Da- kota lignite were put into a stable and ser able condition, by means of carbonizing and briquetting, this fuel demand could be supplied with an average haul of less than 400 miles.” MANDAN NEWS F.

The income fronf the fund is to be used to provide annual prizes of $25, $15 and $10 for the winners of first, second and third places in an essay contest on the general subject of “Better Citizenship.” A special sub- ject is to be selected each year by thu principal of the school and the coun- ty superintendent. The topic suggest- ed for the first contest this year is “Our Debt to the Pioneers.” The es- says are to be handed in on or before April 15 each year and, are limited to 1,000 words.

GET A.SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX NOW _ Safety First ————— | SOVIET REGIME LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN Does Its Utmost To Obtain Pro per Conditions For Child’s Development London, Feb. 18.—Two bright spots have been found in the Soviet regime in. Russia by a commission sent to that country by the health committee of the League of. Nations. These spots are the provisions made for taking care of children and the attention paid to scientific research. Thg commission found that, despite all difficulties, the Russian children apparently were being taken care of in a comprehensive way and that the present regime has done its utmost to obtain proper conditions for the development of, the child. It adds, however, that “in view of the difficult state of things which at present ex- ists in Russia, the custom has grown up of votuntarily abandoning the child to the care of the state,” Despite all obstacles, it was found that scientific studies in behalf of public health were: pursued with the utmost zeal. : “In Moscow alone,” the report states, “there were 12 municipal bac- teriological laboratoties while in the Moscow district there were 30.” The League Commission found the central public health administration in the hands of fully competent med- ical. officers. . It: found also that the difficulty of railway transport in Russia had tend- ed to Hmit its cholera and typhus epidemic. If the railway traffic had been normal the commission said, the cholera would have spread westward. Famine, Epidemics, Related. The commission declared that there was no doubt that the famine and to the other. “Cholera,” it states, “seems to have been almost entirely limited to the famine district, while typhus is mainly\ restricted to the same. district.” The commission suggested that the Russian government conclude a sani- tary convention and an anti-epidemic agreement with adjoining countries.

Superintendents of the sub experi- ment station at Hettinger, Hdgeley, Langdon, Williston and Dickinson will also help in this, Cards will be passed out at the meetings for the gathering of data on the amount of diversification the far- mers have practiced during the past year and the amount they intend to put into practice in the present year. It is hoped to-have appointed dur- ing this week a committee of three in each county to provide seed anr se- cure -blooded cattle for. the carrying “ out of this’ diversification work.
