WORK 10 BEGIN
Z BEFORE JULY !
ON NEW WILLETTs FACTORY
OFFICERS or COMPANY IN
THE CITY TO-DAY.


Messrs. Eugene Ingold, H. G. Will
etts and Engineer Large, Of Willetts
Company, Of Plttsburg, were here to-
day looking over matters pertaining
to the new factory that the company
Is going to build on the east side of
the river In Industrial Valley. The
matter that claimed the immediate
attention Of the men that were here
today is the location Of the railroad
switch that will be put in to accom-
modate the factory.
Mr.. Iugold, president Of the COM
pany, stated that the work on the fac
tory would be started before the first
Of July this year, Tho buildings will
be constructed Of brick and glass.
The nature Of the work requires a
great amount of light and there will
be plenty Of windows to accommodate
the plant in this particular.
The work will be pushed to COM
pletlon as rapidly as it is possible for
It to be done. The company wants to
have its plant in operation so that
next year 1t will be able to place five
thousand tons OF its product on the
market. The plant will be increased
until the product reaches twenty-five
thousand tons. The company hopes
to have this capacity within two years,
The Willetts Company reached a
point in It's industrial pursuit when 1t
became necessary to increase It's busi-
ness and to branch out. 1t had not
the room in Pittsburg where the print
cipal works of the concern is located
to do this and the company had to
seek a new site. Many places were
visited in search Of the most availa-
BILE place for a new factory and taking
into consideration all Of the adyan-
tages :hat each place visited had to
offer the factory was located. Tae
central location OF the factory in the
glass industry in West Virginia and
the cheap fuel rates and the transpor;
tation facilities were. determining fac
tors in bringing the factory here.
The Willettes Company has had twen'
tysix years experience in making the
ware that will be turned out at the
now factory. This experience enables
the company to place on the market a
superior product. The average life OF
a glass pot of many factories is five
weeks but tho Willets factory has the
record OF making pots that average
seventeen weeks.
The clay that is used is imported
from Germany and is four years old
before it reaches tho company. 1t is
mined and placed on dumps and then
1t is left to weather. 1t lies out in
the rain, snow and sun for three
years then all of the brown part Of
the clay is picked out and thrown out.
Nothing but the pure clay is retained
nothing that shows up any iron is
found in the selected, All matter that
has any affinity for acids must be
thrown away. Then the clay is ground
US as fine as powder and washed and
dried and then placed in casks and
put on the market for manufacturers
The plant here will manufacture
first class pots, tank blocks and Other
clay products.

EXERTIONS FATAL
TO LARGE HORSE
JOY RIDERS RUN HORSE AT
GRAND FORKS UNTIL HE DIES
OF EXHAUSTION.

Grand Forks, N. D., June s.-Two
smart alexis in an automobile caused
the death of the big horse used by the
fair association in the work of taking
care of the track. On Monday evening
the automobile riders chased the horse,
which Is an unusually large and heav-
lily built animal until he was COM
plete!y tagged The strenuous effort
proved too much for the animal and
he fell before the stable door and in
a few minutes was dead
The caretaker and some 0ther en-
ployes around the stable know who
the persons in the automobile were
and steps will be taken at once to-
ward prosecuting unless the repara-
ton is made. The horse was a vaIu-
able animal for the kind of work he
was used in doing, and the Joy rid
ers will probably find that their
amusement of making him run was a
decidedly expensive pastime. ..
In speaking of the matter yester-
day Secretary Bachelor emphasized
the fact that the fair property is not
pubic property, and the track is not
there for a speedway. The fair as
ISOLATION is glad to have anyone who
wishes come out, inspect the grounds
and try the track, but If such per-
formances as that of the other night
are to occur, steps will be taken to
close the grounds and a special no.

all who trespass.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
KEYMEN GET RAISE
AGREEMENT PRACTICALLY Is
REACHED AFTER cONcEs.
sIoNs ARE MADE IN DIS.
PUTE BY BOTH SIDES.

st. Paul, June 9.-The teIegraphers'
committee and the officials of the
Northern Pacific have practically
reached an agreement The men and
the managers both made concessions.
The schedules are now in the printers
hands, and when in the course of a
couple Of days they are ready, it is
expected that the operators will t'sign
up" without any further bitches.
From the committee comes the in
formation that the main point in dis
pute, concerning the representation of
the telephone men by the committee.
has been settled, but on what exact
basis could not be ascertained. Ii is
claimed, however, that the telephone
men will be granted a raise of S. a
month, with wages ranging from $50
to $55, under the new schedule. In the
western district pay of telegraph oper-
ators shifted to telephone work was not
reduced, and some of the telephone
men are now getting as much as teIe-
graphers.
The pay of telegraph operators, UNI
der the new schedule, will run from $50
to $135 a month The increases range
from SIS to $40 per month.
One of the concessions gained dur
ing the present negotiations was the
cutting down from eight and half
to eight hours the tracks at terminal
points. Conditions along the line. I'M
der the federal nine-hour law, few of
the operators being compelled to work
more than eight hours a day.
There are about 1900 telegraph op-
orators and about 1870 telephone oper-
ators employed on the Northern Pacific
all of whom will be bene-
flied by the new schedule.
The committee has been in session
in st. Paul for month, with head
quarters at the Hotel Foley.
Negotiations opened with the off,
Gals about two weeks ago, and. out
side of difference over telephone rep
resentation, the proceedings have pro-
crossed without hitch.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-06-09

the settlement Is made. as proposed,
all passenger trains will be run over
the high line. Freight trains. with
Valley City merchandise will run into
the city and the old depot removed en-
tirely. One means of access to the
new depot at the high line, will be had
by electric cars, The cost of this is
one of the chief matters in the dis
cussion. Under the present arrange
ment merchants and others are dis
satisfied with the service and do not
want the temporary injunction by the
court regarding the running of a por-
ton OF the company's trains through
the city and a portion allowed to pass
over the high line, to be made perma-
nent.

When the fire department arrived,
Good work on the part of the depart

equal to the occasion and the fire was

that both building and contents are
