Paper Making at
MCCannd, n. D.
FIRST PAPER PULP MANUFACT
URING PLANT IN STATE OF
NORTH DAKOTA.

! The first paper pulp manufactured
in the state was produced at McCanna
last Thursday. The North Dakota
Straw Produce company of McCanna
lis move in active operation and expects
ito turn out large quantity of pulp
each day.
In speaking of the success which
ATTENDED the first output of the COM
,pany, 81 McCanna, heavy stockholder
in the enterprise, stated that full
capacity will not be attained until
next fall when more flax straw is
available.
The pulp industry is new one in
this state. The McCamna plant is the
first to turn out a finished product.
The field is limitless. AS long as the
flax industry is one of the leading in
dustries in the state just so long will
the pulp manufacturing industry live
There seems to be no possibility of flax
raising ending for many years.
The McCanna factory is large one.
1t is capitalized at $4,000 and at pres.
ent is handling about 60 tons of straw
each day. More will be handled in the
fall.
From 25 to so per cent of the fiber
in the straw is gotten out. The manu-
featuring process is interesting. The
fiber when threshed out is mashed and
worked, putting it in mushy state.
This pulp is shipped in that condition
to the paper mills in Minnesota and
further east.
The fax straw pulp thus produced
completes with a class now produced
by sulphite, wood pulp. This quail
ty of pulp is used for making paper
used in books, catalogues, etc. The
market is extremely large, and will
continue larger as the future sees a
decrease in the wood now available for
wood pulp.

Minot, N. D., May 2.-The POSSIBLE
|ity of using the national guard armory
for normal school classes in the event
that it is found impossible to finish
the work on the Minot school by Oc-
tober was discussed by the state no.'-
nal school board here.
With this idea in mind the board
inspected the armory. On account Of
the defects found in the foundation
walls of the main building of the new
Ischool it is feared that it will not be
ready for occupancy at the time the
'schOol is scheduled to open.
AS all other arrangements have
been made, and a large number of

portance that school should open Or

orary vice presidents of the American
Peace society on motion of Charles f.
Beals of Chicago, special service work
er and Independent religionist, the
vote being unanimous. Beals stated
that the reason he made the motion
virtually expelling DR.. Abbott, was be-
cause he had repeatedly seen editor
ials in the Outlook contrary to the
peace propaganda of the American
Peace society, and that the name of
Abbott had been signed to the circu-
lars and pamphlets of the Army and
Navy league. The literature of the
league was violently. opposed to all
the principles for which the society
stood, he said.
No one was present TO defend Abb
bott and the votes recorded was viva
voce. The present officers of the so
ciety were reelected, those besides
Burton being William II. Taft, An
