E. Smart, t fie expert of the railroad comn sion, upon request to the commission of operators of mines west of the Missouri river, who alleged there were unreasonable differences in rates to various points in Minnesota, North and South Dakota from lignite mines east and west of the Missouri river. It is claimed by operators west of the river that there is not a sufficient margin of profit to mect existing differences in freight rates between their mines and those on the east side of the river. The state board of administration is delaying the lettering of cohtracts for institutional coal for the com- ing year pending the result of the conference, it was stated at the com- mission offices. shortage, according to representa- tives of the commission, is also an important factor as it is desired tl the northwest lignite supply be av: able from all mines in North Da- ‘kota. 674,790 Tons Produced. According to figures ascertained by Mr. Smart there was shipped on rail- roads 674,790 tons of lignite coal from North Dakota mines during the year ending October 31, 1921. There are 118 coal mines in North Dakota, of which 56 shipped the above ton- nage. The remaining mimes are the socalled wagon mines, selling fucl within their immediate vicinity. The largest shipper was the Washburn Lignite Coal company /of Wilton, which shipped 227,840 tons of coal; the next was the Beulah pany, which shipped 60,007 Strike Coal company, shipping 54,- 450, the Whittier-Crockett company | of Columbus, shipping 45,075. Other} mines produced less than 10,000 tons ef coal. The railroad commission has been advised that the final decision of the Interstate’ Commerce Commission Teaves effects reduced rates on shipment of coal “froni’ the’ head of the lakes to western North Dakota cities, including Jamestown, Minot and Bismarck. The original order provided for increases for shipments to Wahpeton, Fargo and Grand Forks, according to Mr. Smart.

The interstate body has or-| dered an. investigation of the inter- state express rates, which weré in- ereased 121-2 and 131-2 per cent within the last two yea The North Dakota commission has not granted the 131-2 per cent in- crease in intrastate express rates, contending that reduction of loss and | i if damage claims and reduction of pay | of employes made the increase un-| necessary.

The voter who favors the removal of the county seat/from Fort Yates to some other town will be given a ballot in which he must write in the name of the town he favors.

Wead and the Solen delegation composed of R, B.

The voter will indi- |} eate his choice by writing in. the blank space the name of the place to | which he desires a removal, if the | voter does not desire a removal, and placing an ‘X’ in the square after such a name and if the voter does not desire a removal he will place a cross in the square after the words ‘Against removal of county seat.’ For Couty .Seat Removal to ——. Against County Seat Removal.” Although either of the towns might have opposed the granting of the other’s petition, both towns showed their willingnes to make concessions, in order to take the matter to: court. BUILDING IS ~~ REMODELED |Sawdust Blanket Put in on Order of De Mores Found | Originally a cold storage house, jeonstructed by order of a French | Marquis, moved tothe corner of Main and Third streets about 1886, remodeled, and turned into a busi- ness block, is the history of the Ba- ker building whjch is again going through a period of modernizing. The sawdust which is: scattered over the edge of the pavements at the corner of Second and Main streets \ is some of that which was used in |the construction of a cold storage | building for meat at a spot near the | Northern Produce company on Front | street about 1883 or ’84 when the | Marquis de Mores of France came to .| Dakota and invested large sums of money in stock and in the develop- ment of the packing industry in the state. There was a great blanket of sawdust between the ceiling on the second floor and the roof. | About 1898 a part of this storage | building was moved over to the cor-| |ner of Main and Second and re- | modelled into a modern business | building of that period. At the pres- | ent time the building is again under- | going reconstruction. New steel ceil-| | ings, some new woodwork, repairing, | painting, and polishing is being done in order to bring the building up to | date again. | 'REPORT RICH | COAL VEIN IS After prospecting in the 1440 acres in the vicinity of Underwood, Casey Brothers declared that they found good lignite coal at a depth of from | 12 to 21 feet below the surface. j | Using the development of Wilton jas an example, the editor of the! Underwood Times sees a $250,000 lig- | nite mining, company operating in his town in the near future. While the people have known that there wis coal under the ground all around Underwood since the founding of the place 18 years ago, yet very little had opment, Now the people see their pop- ulation increasing at least 300 per cent in five years. They know that there is plenty of good coal at a shallow depth, he says. All that has | been lacking, according to Mr. Casey were plans for development.
