North Dakota is slowly recovering from the scars of too frequent elections and heated controversy. The adminis- tration is seeking to find solid ground and bring order out ot chaos. If this work is to be successful the fewer elections the better. What the state needs most now is earnest toil and thritt | in the management of public affairs. There has been a} ‘marked improvement in the credit of the -state already. Political subdivisions find it easier to finance their needs. | ‘The state even though burdened with an ill-advised program ot state ownership is slowly getting its financial house in| iorder against that day when the people of the state will be| cured of the few remaining vagaries that have and continue | sto foist an unwarranted tax load upon the people. With the s 's bal sheet looking better each month Jand prospects of active farm settlement there is ever son to believe the future is bright. North Dakc has some ‘practical ecomonic problems to solve if her population is to grow and her vacant acres are to be brought under produc- tion. Special elections merely unsettle conditions, stir up strife and militate against the program of restoring equill- brium in this state. should continue to discourage a special elec- tién—the presidential primaries are less than a year distant. PREDICT CHEAPER FUEL Lignite is forcing attention from eastern scientists and the next few years is bound to see greater distribution and consumption. Figures presented by Rate Expert Smart show the rapid increase in the consumption. Lignite pro- duced in North Dakota has increased from 502,628 tons in 1914 to the impressive total of 1,057,823 in 1922. Now lignite is prominently discussed in Montreal at a ssession of the fuels division of the American Society ot “Mechanical Engineers. O. P. Hood, chief mechanical engi- sneer of the United States bureau of mines make the follow- *SIng statement of vital interest to this section of the state probably the greatest lignite field in America: * “The bureau of mines is i i f a program, which has for its main features an inexpensive | carbonizing device and the use of the lignite char direct, | iwithout briquetting. “Lignite char can best be described in a few words as, 2} ‘fuel rather near in analysis to anthracite coal, but sotter, | with a little more volatile matter, and thus kindling easier. | In size it grades from pea coal to smaller sizes, and is a! stable product. Whether a market can be developed for such ‘a fuel at prices around $5 a ton at the mines remains to be shown, but it is at least encouraging to know that Germany sused last year 400,000 tons of similar materials for domes- tic heating and cooking. 2} “This fuel burns well with natural draft where a thin fuel bed can be maintained. Base burners, cook stoves and | other heaters can be adapted to use the fuel satisfactorily. | Governor forcing a spe | tigating the possibilities ; |; i EDITORIAL REVIEW Commenta reproduced tn this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune, 4 are presented here im order that our readers may pave both sides of important issues w: being discussed im the press of || the day. | THE WEAKER (2) SEX | For the benefit of the head of the house, the gentleman who believes that without his heroic protection terrible things might happen to the women of the family, it might‘ be mentioned that an “all woman” expedition into the jungles of wild- est Africa is the latest venture.

The “Baby Diesel” announced by J. J. Tynan, general manager Vof the San Francisco plant of.the Bethlehem Shipbuilding _Corporation, confirms this prediction. After watching tests ‘made with this compressed air engine, Tynan predicted auto- - mobiles going 50 miles to a gallon of fuel and with no gears “to shift! ._ “The tests, conducted over a period of months with a 50- horsepower engine, have demonstrated beyond all doubt that it can be done,” says Tynan. “Engines of 3000, 300 and 30 horsepower are now being constryeted and following satisfactory tests: with them, quantity production probably will be started in the near +future.” . _ The Diesel engines, hitherto only constructed in sizes fiadapted to the largest ocean vessels, will be operated for , Automotive purposes by the light and cheap oil such as is #inow used on naval submarines. F j Gear shifting will be entirely eliminated as the engine itself is reversible and the transmission is so devised as to :allow the interlocking parts to slide back and forth. Greater stamina than any auto engine now in use also is claimed for the new invention. - - While complete description of the invention is being with- held, it is stated that the engines are built to work on low ilcompression and low fuel oil pressure. However, the ful! ge principle is retained. i I HINDENBURG Hindenburg tells McMahon, American captain, that he } ts another war very shortly. “I look for a struggle 4 between the United States and Japan.” as i Hindy has been expecting that for a good many yeast. 4,He’s an old man, and the aged are unable to get rid of their Ncheessions.

He is the enemy of Colonel Henry Nelson, son of Bell Nelson, banker. Gray falls in love with Barbara Parker, who buys land ‘ar Nelson and he suggests that she also purchase land for him. Gus Briskow, friend of Gray, takes Ma Briskow and Allegheny, the d: ter, to the mountains. Gray vi them there. ts A message comes say- ing that Bud Briskow, the son, has run away from school and Gray o fers to follow him and bring him home, Gray returns to Dallas to see Barbara Parker. NOW GO ON WIJH STORY During the rly dusk Gray re- turned to the lease, only to find even he greasy caretaker gone. By this time he was decidedly uncomfort- able, and, to add to his discomfort. he conceived the notion that he was being followed. On second thought he dismissed this’ idea, nevertheless he took a roundabout course back toward the main strect. Before long Gray round himself in overcrowded back room with a stack of silver dollars which he scattered carelessly upon the numbers of a roulette table. Rou- game, This was a good way in which to kill an hour. Absorbed in his’ own thoughts, y paid little heed to those about until a large hand picked up one of his bets. Then he raised his eyes. The hand was attached to a which in turn was attached to a burly stranger of un- pleasant mien. Giay voiced a good- natured protest, but the fellow his mistake. Noting that the man was flushed, Gray shrugged and al- lowed the incident to pass. This bootleg whiskey from across Red River was of a quality to scatter a Vor some time the game continued the deposited thirty-five silver Again that un-browned hand reached forth but this time Gray seized it by the wrist. With a wrench the man ~ under- took to free his hand; he uttered a threatening oath. she next instant he was treated to a surprise,. for Gray, jerked him forward and simut- taneously his empty palm struck the Ullow a blinding, a resounding smack. Again he cuffed the fellow's face, this time from the other sida When he finally desisted _ t he stranger rocked in his tracks; he shook his head; be blinked and he cursed, it was a moment before he could focus is whirling sight upon his assailant. When he succeeced it was to behold the latter Aaring at him with a mocking threatening smile, Thé drunken man hesitated, he cast a slow glance around the room then muttering, hoarsely, he turned and made for the door, He was fol- lowed by a burst of derisive laugh- ter, that grew louder as he went. Gray was in a better mood now than for several hours; he had ‘vent- ed his irritation; the air had clear- ed. After a while he discovered that he was hungry; no longer was; he too resentful to heed the healthy warning of his stomach, so he left the place. * CHAPTER XIX A Bold, Bad Man Newtown’s eating places were not} appetizing at best, but a meal could be endured with less discomfort by day for at such times most of the flies were on the ceilings. The res- taurant which Gray entered was what he had expected; along one side ran a quick-order counter at which were seated several customers; across it was an oileloth-covered table, perfectly bare except for a revolving centerpiece—one of those silverplated whirligigs fitted with a glass salt-and-pepper shaker, a toothpick holder- an unpleasant ail bottle, and a cruet intended for vine- gar. Here, facing an elderly man in a kide gray felt hat; Gray seated himself. When a departing customer left the door open, the elderly diner grumbled bitterly at the draught and’ draped his overcoat over his bent shoulders. Most of the counter customers had drifted out when, without warn-| ing, the screen door banged loudly open and Gray\looked up from his plate to see recent acquaintance of the gambling’ table approaching He lurched directly up to the table and stared across at. Gray. “Slapped my face, didn’t you?” he cried, after a menacing moment. “I did, indeed,” the .speaker nod- ded, pleasantly. i i “You ain't going to slap it again. You ain't going to slap anybody'’s— “What makes you think I won't?” Gray became aware as he spoke that. his elderly neighbor had raised to the intruder, a countenance stamped with a peculiar expression of in- cerdulity, almost of anger, at the interruption. pa That which occurred next came unexpectedly. The stranger whipped out from under his coat a. revolver, at the same time volelag @ profane answer to the challenge. | As Calvin Gray rose to his feet it was with a flash of mingled anger dealer and impatience. This quarrel was 80 utterly senseless, it served so Jit- tle purpos in “My” frien he, cried, sharply, “if you don't pyt up that gun, one of us will go. to the hospit: £ By. way of rousing\ his. sayagery, the fellow uttered a bellow, then, like a warrior smiting his shield with -his spear bevore the charge, he swung his heavy respon, sm/shing at one blow that silvey-plated merry- go-round with its cluster A shower of toothpicks, yt of glass, a spatter of oil and vinegar \'you buttin’ in either. of by les. SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1923 POGIPAPTS DEAT, WERW y-ON covered the old man in’ the end ch and he rose with # cry that drew a swift glance from the des- perado. Gray was upon the point of laughing himself over the table when he witnessed a peculiar tins, formation in his assailant, The man’s expression altered with almost suddenness, he towered ‘his comic weapon and took backward Gray, too, had cause fe ment, for the elderly nnn was ing slowly toward the overcoat, meanwhile, hanging feo e ly from his left shoulder, like a mantle. That he had been recognized was plain, for the armed m tatedly Look out, want any truck with you The deliberaty advance continued; in a harsh voice Tom answered: “I don't allow anybody to interf, with me when I'm eating!” every step he shuffled forward ghe man before him fell back a cor- responding distance. Again the newcomer rasped out a warning and Gray too, added his yoice saying: “Leave him to me, old man, This ig~my quarrel.” As he spoke he moved around the end of the table, but the mantled figure falted him with an imperious jerk of the head. Without in the slight- est diverting his steady gaze, Tom snapped: ; “Hands off, stranger! [ won't have I don't allow anybod.’ to interfere with me when I'm eating.” Brief as had been the whole epi- sode, already passersby had halted staring faces were glued to the front windows of the cafe. Well they might stare at th two tensa fig- ures, one advancing, the other’ re- treating as if to the measures of some slow dance. But the tempo changed abruptly. The desperado's back brought up against the swinging kitchen door; it gave to his weight and d was born of that instant. Wi ery he flung himself backwar spring door snapped to and lowed him up with the speed of a camera shutter; then followed the sound of his heavy rushing foot- steps. “Hell!” exclaimed the old man. “I had his buttons counted!” With the words he let fall his overcoat,, and there, beneath it, Gray beheld what he had more than half suspected, what indeed was ample for the quarrelsome stranger's appre- hension. Held close to the owner body was what in tne inelegant gon of the west is known as rd leg”. The weapon, a frontier Colt's of heavy..caliber, was full cocked under the old man’s thumb; ause the hand holding it was as steady as the blazing eyes ubovy The street door burst open, a noisy crowd poured into the room, a volley of excited questions aised. Amid the confusion, G heard his own name shouted, and found himself se* upon by two agi tated friends, Mallow and Stoner. Mallow dragged him toward the door. @ “Gee, Governor! You guve us a tua We've been coming since noon.” . ~It was only by the grace of God,” Stoner declared, “that we heard you were out here and why you'd ‘ome. We managed to get a phond. call through to Jackson, but it was—” “Ja¢kson didn't get you, did he?” Mallow inquired anxiously, Get to me?

It can’t last long, of course, but— oh, what a well to hand Nelson. What a laugh it would have been!” Gray clamped a heavy hand upon the speaker's shoulder; harshly he inquired, “Do you mean to say hat Miss Parker deliberately” “She don't know ‘anything about it Nelson's ‘You said she ‘laid me’ agains! “No, no!
