give Williston pulp mill, an in
dustry that uses the bi-product of
the fibre mill and will be a much
larger industry than the fibre mill
itself.
All kinds of paper can be made
from the woody stem of the flax
plant after the fibre is separated
and the finest bonds and linen pa
per are the fruits of the common
place fax straw that is burned by
the ton each year. The pulp peo-
pie are corporation with un-
limited capital and only wish to
see that the raw material will be
forthcoming and they will at once
locate a pulp mill here.
PAPER MILL-LINEN FACTORY.
1t is not far or vain cry that a
paper mill or linen factory might
follow in the wake of the other two
plants.
OLD FLAX STRAW.
Flax straw does not of necessity
have to be new, in fact the COM
pany prefers the straw from one
to two years old as the fibre is
more radily separated from the
woody stalk when the straw is
aged.
sss GREATER wILLIsTON.
With the location Of the fibre
mill Williston becomes . center
for the fax industry for fifty
miles north and south and west
ward Is far Is Culbertson. Mon.
tana has, some fine fax growing
land within reach of the Missouri
and the matter of bailing fax straw
and shipping 1t by barge to the
plant here can be done at a very
low cost of transportation.
GRAND FORKS OR WILLIsTON.
The fibre company has not de-
cided fully at which place to To-
cate the first mill but the fact that
the territory contiguous to Willis
ton produces three times as much
flax as the Grand Forks territory
should, on investigation by the
company, land the first mill within
the gates Of THE City Of Oppor-
tunity.'.

Took Defeat Gracefully

The Alexander Blues bumped
into something hard at Williston
on the 4th. They we're much like
the Irishman who got badly pum-
meled up by taking in too much
territory.
Out here in Mckenzie county
on these broad open prairies far
removed from the tumult of the
city and the noise of the cars, the
Blues have been doing things that
looked good, but in the City of
Opportunity it was different yes,
vastly different.
OF course the boys didn't play
in their usual form. Outside of
Childs, practically the whole team
fell down in the field perhaps the
big crowd scared them, or the
grounds were too fast or the
opposing team was too swift. All,
there's the rub. Williston was
too fast for the boys from the
Metropolis of Mckenzie county.
We we're simply outclassed. This
in itself would not have caused the
free silver score of 16 to l were it
not for the. unusual slow playing
and costly errors Of the Alexander
boys. Alexander Chronicle.

COURT LAST TUESDAY,

Please papa may ] not 60 home
with youg" SO spoke Marion Scott
sixteen years of age in Judge
Buffers court Tuesday afternoon
as he threw himself sobbing in the
arms Of his father d. B. Scott Of
Cummings, N. D., who accom-
panied him. The sight was one Of
touch, the most fiinty heart and
suspicious tears stood in the eyes
of court officers and onlookers as
the lad made his pitiful plea. The
case of this young man was one of
the most unusual that has come
before the local court in q long
time.
Possessed with an unusual edu-
cation for q boy of his years,
making his answers in good full
rounded English and having all
the marks of the best Of upbring-
ing, not withstanding his answers
were little rambling and it was
with extreme reluctance Judge
Butler gently told him it would
be best for him to have treatment
at the jamestown hospital.
Last week the boy was brought
to the hospital by his father who
was taking him to the home of his
uncle at Froid, Mont, and for q
time it was thought he was re-
covering but Sunday afternoon he
broke away and gave County
Physician Dochterman q sharp
fight before be was subdued and
placed in Jail for safe keeping.
The boy has the strange halucin-
alton that someone is persuing him
and when questioned. ..on many Of
his movements his mind is . COM

American Linen Fibre Company Of Philadelphia to Build
Ten Mills Extending from Minneapolis, minn
to Great Falls, Montana
Wlllls7oN TO Be ONE Of THE FIRST TO GET A MILL


S0SIASOIy O1AS " S1A0 OSoS 49,
Williston is situated in one OF
the largest and most productiye
flax growing sections in the United
States and annually there are
thousands of tons of flax straw
destroyed that if proper facilities
were at hand to utilize it would
become q source of profitable ine
come to the producer.
1t is the purpose of the Ameri-
can Linen Fibre Co., of PhiladeE
phia, to install line of flax fibre
mills that will extend from Mime
apolis on the east westward to
Great Falls, Mont, thus covering
one of the best fax sections in the
world. President McAdams Il
the Philadelphia corporation shl.s
been in the northwest for sOme
time going over the ground and
making careful estimates OF the
production of raw material in each
community. The company will
install ten mills between the Twin
Cities and the Idaho line and the
race for who will get the first mill
lies between Williston land Grand
Forks.
Alois S. DATE, one of the Ameri-
can Linen Fibre Co.'S. experts, was
in the city Tuesday and Wedaes-
day and at : meeting Of the Com
mercial Club called by Pr ssident
Anderson Tuesday evening, the
fibre company's representative re-
ceived every encouragement Hook
ing towards the speedy installation
Of mill here.
The company asks no bonus,
merely q free lease and the land
to revert back TO the city in any
future event the one hundred acres
asked for q building site and yards,
should not to be used further for
manufacturing purposes.
THE FIBRE PLANT.
The fibre plant takes the flax
from the farmer threshes it free
of charge and pays him from So. SO
to $500 per ton for the straw.
High grade fax straw grown, on
irrigated land and free from weeds
will bring the highest market
price, all kinds will find q ready
sale. The mill itself will have ten
flax fibre machines and employ a
compliment of from seventy-6ve
to one hundred and twenty-five
men.
Russia is the big producer of
fax fibre and the American supply
comes largely from the Cars do
main. In that country the work
is done by hand labor and the high
price Of labor in this country has
heretofore made fibre production
prohibitive but recent improve
merits on 6ax fibre ma chimes has
made it possible for American
manufactures to place the fibre in
the hands of the textile maker as
cheaply as the foreign producer.
The mill will cost 500, 900 and
it is the desire Of the company to
run the plant to capacity on . two
shift plan Of twenty hours q day.
THE SITE.
Mr.. Datz went ouer the avail
able ground that could be secured
for site and expressed himself
satisfied with number of locations
that could be secured along the
Little Muddy and down the
Missouri. A site is wanted not
far from town and with plenty of
water at hand.
