BOULEVARD
ORDINANCE
City Council Takes Important
Step Toward Improving City
In This Way-Plans of Water
works Extension Changed.

A meeting of the council was held
Monday for the purpose Of deciding
on the extension Of water works in the
western part Of the city.
The plan as finally adopted will not
include the circle on Marguerite boule-
ward as first contemplated. Commepc-
ing at the corner of Third Ave. West
and Fourth street north. west to Mareue-
rite boulevard. two blocks below the
circle. south four blocks to Willard steet
and thence east two blocks, is the
present intention.
City Engineer VeiGel's estimate of
the cost of the work is around $8.0
and the council came to the conclusion
that it would not be necessary to call
special bond election. There is pro-
vision for the extension of walerworks
and the issuing of warrants therefore.
which seems to cover this work. Sewers
will also be put in, but this expense
is assessed against the property bene-
fitted. The engineer is looking over
the sewer problem in South Dickinson in
the district where water has already
been extended. A committee has been
appointed to investigate the matter of
getting crossing opened across the
track on Cross street.
The boulevarding of the city streets
was advanced step at the Monday
evening meeting when the council
authorized the drawing up of city
ordinance for this purpose. City Audi
tor Osborn was instructed this week to
have an ordinance drawn up providing
for 16A feet of boulevard on each side
of the &c foot streets and % feet on the
80 foot streets, leaving in each case a
drive of "a feet.
1t is not understood that the ordinance
will COMPEL property owners to boule-
ward but provides for uniform laying
out of the streets where such work is
desired and will mean that it will not
be lona before the principal residence
streets are boulevarded.
The bond of the Dickinson Cement
Works in the sum of 81. 600 was accepted.
This protects the city on crossings, etc.,
also private individuals who are ordered
from time to time to lay side walks
and is something that should have been
required long ago.

LIeNITE MINED WORTH
.'''''1 - ... II
HALF MILLION IN 1905

The total production of coal in North
Dakota in 1908, as reported to E. w.
Parker of the United States geological
survey, was 800: 742 short tons, having
a SPOT value of $522.116
All the mineral fuel mined in Nortf
Dakota is brown Ignite, extensive beds
of which ullderlie the greater part Of the
western half of the state. This Ignite
is well adapted for use in the manu-
facture of brick. The Dickinson Fire
& Pressed Brick Co., the Missouri Slope
Brick & Tile Co. of Dickinson; The
Scranton Brick and Fuel Works of Scran.
ton. and the Kenmare Brick & Coal Co.
of Kenmare are using North Dakota
Ignite in their kilns and find it salts
factory for brick making and also well
adapted to use under boilers. According
to these brick manufacturers the Ignite
is comparatively smokeless and sootless
in combustion. The time required tc
burn kiln Of brick is from eight days
to two weeks, according to the quantity
of moisture contained in the brick wher
set in the kiln and the quality of bricl
required. One Of the manufacturers
states that one ton of Ignite is equa
to one cord of brickyard wood.
Notwithstanding the decrease in pro-
duction, the number Of men employed
in the Ignite mines increased from Sc.
in 1907 to 631 in 1908. and the averaa.
number Of working days decreased from
223 to l81.

FORM COMBINE
Missouri Valley Milling Co. and
Russell Miller Milling Co. Join:: ::
Forces-Will Control Vast
Number of Elevators.

During the past week. negotiations
have been in progress whereby the
Missouri Valley Milling Co. will be
absorbed by the Russell-Miller Milling
Co. of Minneapolis.
Formal ratification by the stockhold-
ers of the companies involved is all
that is required now to complete the
deal. The RUSSELL Miller company pur-
chases the three mills and elevators
Of the Missouri Valley Co. /; the Lyon
elevator company with 40 country eleva-
tors. and the C. G. heys Elevator
company, operating 81 country eleva-
tors, all in North Dakota.
With this expansion completed, the
Russell-Miller company will then operate
81 flour mills with an output of 10000
barrels day, combined mill elevator
capacity Of I. 500. 600 bushels storage
capacity. This includes two new mills
being erected at Beach. N. D., and
Billings, Mont.
The deal also brings to the Minneapo-
lis firm several prominent Northwestern
millers. among them H. R. Lyon, presi-
dent of the Missouri Valley Milling
company and of the Lyon Elevator COM
pany; B. w. Stephenson, vice presi-
dent and general manager; j. H. New
ton. secretary and treasurer, and c. G..
lreys, president of the Geys Elevator
company, together with the active
forces of the three firms.
The capital and surplus of the Russell
Miller company, which is now about
ST, 800, 900, will be increased to 81, 500,
600. part of which will be exchanged
for the properties acquired.
The Minneapolis firm was organized
about Is years ago. Its general officers
now occupy half of the fourth floor of
the Security Bank building. Its officers
are E. P. Wells. president; H. S. Helm
and Arthur Miller, vice presidents and
W. C. Helm treasurer. They will re
tain these positions in the new organi.
cations.
The mill and elevator at Dickinson
are included in the purchase but the
change in ownership is not expected
TO affect any of the present plans. This
mill is nearly completed and ready to
commence operations. 1t is generally
believed that with mill in Dickinson,
all that the Russell-Miller Co. will dc
at Beach for the present is to erect the
elevator.
