PROF. SNYDER HAS
LEFT N. DAKOTA

Dickinson Press: The first Of the
week, Prof. w B. Snyder, formerly at
the head Of the Hebron briquetting
demonstration station and for some
time connected with work at the state
university at Grand Forks, was a pas
senger en- route to Billings, Mont,
where he has accepted q position as
expert engineer with the big Billings
Coal Co. Many readers will remember
the interesting address given by Pro-
lessor Snyder during the State Dry
Farming congress held In Dickinson
last winter He is an able man and
knows the great possibilities Of Ignite
coal for producing gas and briquettes.
A number Of North Dakota men from
Fargo and Minot had become con-
vinced that q producer plant located
in cities like Dickinson, Bismarck, Mi
not and Williston, where native coal is
abundant, would be very profitable in
general, but when 1t came to capital
izing $250,000 plant for any Of these
cities the men were not in a position
to back up their enthusiasm. 1t is
fortunate for the state that a man OF
the ability of Mr.. Snyder in this par
ticular line of work could not get sub
stantial backing that would keep his
services in our own coal fields.
