Spring frontier boom and coal plant plans in North Dakota
The Washburn to Bismarck route draws settlers fast as government lands along the line attract homesteaders. A coal plant planned near Bismarck and a second near Washburn aim to cut coal costs, with construction beginning soon and full operation by June. The project pledges coal compression to under $1 per ton, linking North Dakota with Minnesota and St Paul markets. In other notes a torpedo destroyer trial ends early with a setback, and Idaho free speech debates surface in congressional testimony.

Holders Seek Equity Annulling Coke Contract In Frick Case
Blockholders of the H C Frick Coke Company and guardians sue in equity to annul the 1899 coke contract with the Carnegie Steel Company. They seek injunction to stop sale, shipping, or delivery of coke under the five year deal and to void the contract. The suit ties to the feud between H C Frick and Andrew Carnegie and follows Frick’s earlier bill for an accounting in a separate case. The plaintiffs name John Walker and L S Schoonmaker among others sharing in the action.
