PULP Factory IS
Being COMPLETED
~ =
Large Force of Men Will be
Employed When Plant is
Ready For Work.

Work on the plant Of the North
western Flax and Fiber company is
progressing rapidly under the direc-
ton of w. J.. Green, manager of the
concern. 1t is expected that cooking
of flax fiber can be commenced about
the middle of June. Most of the fiber
that will be used this year has been
contracted for already so thai the
of raw material.
Water connections will soon be
made. the plant promising to be one
of the largest of water in
the city. Fifty thousand gallons a
day will be the normal capacity Of the
factory ut the start.
The flax fiber when cooked in the
patent process will be in a broken
state. the product, or pulp will be a
white substance of heavy consistency.
The fuel used will consist of the
refuse left after the separation of the
flax shell from the fiber. The use of
the refuse and waste material for fuel
Will be an economy which will in the
end enable the manufacturers to
either a more for their raw ma
terial or else dispose of the product
at a lower price and still make Is
profit.
The pulp will be marketed in Wis
ccnsin where the large paper mills
are. The very highest grade Of bond
paper can ne made from the flax fiber
pulp.
Word for twenty men or more will
he Afforded when the plant commences
to cook the fiber next month.

BARNS Will

New Steel Will be Laid on

Soon as it Arrives.

The new car barns of the Grand

site will be disposed Of in the near

The company will commence to lay
new steel on University avenue from
the city limits to the university, prob
ably next week. The time depends
upon the arrival here Of the new rails.
The steel 80 be very heavy, being
10 pound and will make the University
avenue line stable and sound. At
present the bed and steel is not in the
best of condition owing to the heavy
and increasing traffic.
No decision has been reached yet as
to the %eXtention of the car lire to
Minnesota point.
A large crew of men will he cm-
ployed In the laying of the new steel.
The fact that the cars will pass a
given point every few minutes will
to some extent hamper the laying Of
steel. When the steel is done the
car lines will be the equal of any in
the northwest.
The a barns represent an invest
ment of $4,000.

Deputy Fire Marshal n. L. Reade.

Deputy Fire Marshal H.. L. Reade,
under Marshal \. II. Runge. is max
ing his first visit to Grand Forks today
in his new capacity. He arrived from
Bismarck this morning.
Messrs. Runge and Reade have al
ready visited a few towns in the
southern part of the state looking
over the fire danger situation.
1t is one of the duties of h fire
marshal to look into conditions in
cities and villages and make such
recommendations as will make the
dangers from fire less. In their in
spection of some of h cities the fire
marshals have not found conditions
as they ought to be, especially in the
rear of business blocks. Conditions
in certain places are such that the
buildings are very susceptible to fire.
Not only is there danger of property
los, but there is danger of loss of life
as we'll.
Insurance companies are Watching
the work of the fire marshal with a
great deal of interest. They. are very
anxious to have the fire danger mini
mized as much as possible.
Mr.. Reade is also secretary of the
state firemen's association. and has
been connected with fire prevention
work for many years.
