This interest did not die. Such was the humble beginning of the lignite in North Dakota. Since it is so easily obtained residents of this state have made it THE fuel of their fires. It seems strange indeed that this coal, which is as common to the people of North Dakota as grasshoppers, will now be appreciated in other parts of the nation.
