Inc HTsC real step toward the organ
ization of the Devils Lake Paper com.
pany was taken last evening at meet
ing of the Commercial club when the
report Of the special committee was ad-
opted unanimously. This means the
erection of $25o,O00 building at
Sweetwater for the manufacture Of
paper out Of straw.
The committee, consisting of Joseph
NJ. Kelly, Sam Wincman and c. A.
Dodge, reported that the Cutler En-
cheering company, which concern is to
erect the new manufacturing plant at
Sweetwater, is responsible concern
and has the reputation of carrying
through what it undertakes.
AS to the feasibility of making aper
that in view of the fact that the Cutler
company would put up the plant com.
plete and would take bonds Of the com.
pany for pay, was conclusive evidence
that the company was satisfied on that
point, as the bonds would be worthless
if the plant could not make naper from
straw.
The project seems to be most feast
bic, due to the fact that it utilities raw
products, a product which the farmer
has hitherto been unable to realize any
profit from, and Devils Lake and Ram
sey county is to be congratulated on
being certain of this concern, since so
many of the larger cities in North Da-
llota have been after the plant.
At the conclusion of the report
which called for committee Of nine
members to further the project and get
the farmers interested, there was con
siderable discussion. The matter was
gone over thoroughly, al its features
both good and bad We're brought out
and after all was said NJ on- seemed
DESTROYS Of hindering the project ir
any way, but rather all seemed willing
to put the shoulde: to the wheel an,
l., ost for what promises to be the
greatest manufacturing industry il
North Dakota.
Many interesting talks were made
during the evening, Joseph Kelly, A. B
Kerlin, F. P. Mann, P. J. McClory, G
A. Dodge, Rev. Gutenberg and DR.
Pierce discussing the project at length
The great benefit to be derived wa
shown in the fact that from eighty t,
one hundred would be employed at tn
plant and transportation facilitie!
would be supplied so that all could liv'
in Devils Lake. Taking families int
consideration the new plant will meal
an increase in population of nearl.
500. .......
The plant itself will be one Of til
largest industries in the state and hav
one Of the finest buildings. The con-
pany will have seven directors four o
whom will live in North Dakota. Th
company viii he con;r,'cu by Ramsc
county mere tanrs and farmers. Til
cost of manu- tact ur.ng the paper an
the selling price shows profit Of owe
fifty per cent, and while considerabl
money is required to finance the hi
proposition on the start, the rich Der
eft which is to be reaped cannot b
passed up and if it We're passed u
Devils Lake and Ramsey county woul
never have such an opportunity t
grow.
Vice President Jones, who preside
at the meeting last evening due to Ill
absence Of President Horton, left til
appointment of the committee to NJ
Horton with instructions that the con
mittee meet next Monday evening an
start the ball rolling.
