Melvin A. B%rannon, a professor in the
State University at Grand Forks, was in
consultation with the Dickinson business
men this week and received such evil
dences of cooperation as lead him to de-
eide to close negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Dakota Land & Colonization
Co. pressed brick plant at this place.
Mr.. Brannon is now taking a careful in
ventory of repairs that will be needed to
put the plant into frst-class working
order. Mr.. Brannon has had a careful
analysis made of the clays on the 40
acres of land which belongs with the
brick plant and he finds that they are
suitable for the manufacture of brick
superior in quality to the celebrated
St.Louis brick so extensively used in all
theIbig cities. Prof. FL Babock, aperson-
al friend of Mr.Brannon, has made very
careful tests along this line, having gone
so far as to take the Dickinson clays to
NewJersey and st. Louis for comparison.
So that Mr.. Brannon has the very high
est authority on the clays. Repairs
have already commenced, under the
supervision Of William Wilkinson, and
when the plant is in working order from
10 to 20 men will be employed through
the brick making season-from May to
November.

kept an unbroken silence about his fear

induced to write the story.
