MAY START LINsEED FACTORY,
Mandan Men Lay Plans for That In
dustry in Morton County. }

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 25.-Besting a
beet sugar factory, a paper pulp mill.
a Irvine plant-ahead Of these and
other chimerical schemes, is the prop
osition for a small linseed factory for
Mandan, for three substantial citizens
are actually proceeding to lay definite
plans for the founding of such an in
dustry. These aggressive men are
William Boehm, Alec Froelich and
John Helbling, prominent citizens of
this community.
Mr.. Boehm Is credited with the con-
ception of the idea, and he says that
he has had it in mind for q long
while, carefully weighing the posi-
bility Of success with the many diff
icultfes to be overcome; his deep
thought led to the conclusion that a
factory run on a very small scale with
the idea of supplying only local and
semi local demand, would be a paying
proposition and a stepping stone to
something vastly more important. So
he talked with fellow Germans and
the three named are now at work on
the proposition.
1t has been decided that a few
thousand dollars will purchase the
necessary quarters and machinery for
turning out sufficient 1inseed oil and
cakes to supply all the needs of this
vicinity, and they are now casting
about for needed encouragement. as
surances of support and the necessary
financial backing. Material plans will
soon be laid.
The proposed scheme is simple and
feasible. That considerable fax is
grown here. and that all is shipped
out, the oil being shipped back and
the seed cakes for stock food being
entirely unknown, are facts everyone
is familiar with. That there would be
demand for the oil, and that a similar
demand for the nutritious cakes would
soon arise, cannot be doubted. So, I'M
less some unforeseen difficulty arises,
these men will soon mature their
plans and set to work. They have
promised more details for later pub
lication.

outfit had been stopped and the saw
with a large balance wheel attached,
was running by it's w momentum.
Moen took hold of the shaft with his

around the shaft and drew his arm
around it, causing the fractures. Had
the engine been in motion, it is very
likely he would have been killed.

To break frail. spider webs that weave
About their thews and bind them low,
Could l but sing one song and lay
Grim doubt; l then could go my way
In tranquil silence, glad, serene,
And satisfied from off the scene.
But, ah, this disbelief, this doubt,
This doubt of God. this doubt of good,
The damned spot-it will not out.

Its perfume. perfect form ~and@hue?
Yea, wouldst thou have n perfect

OF all the years hat come to you?

A lordly oak or daisy low,
AS He hath set His garden; be

Thy treasures up in heaven laid
Await thy sure ascending soul,
Life after life-be not afraid.
