those cities. 1t will require a con-
siderable outlay to make this pos
sible. A thoroughly modern and
up-to-date system of mining the lig-
mite must first be arranged. A
huge power plant would be neces-
sary and the transmission lines
would be an expensive proposition,
but once established the returns
would be certain. The transmission
lines could have diverging systems
that would carry the electricity to
points along both the main and
branch lines of the railroads. Es-
tablished electric plants could be
furnished with power more cheap)y
than they can generate it. Smaller
towns without electric power and
light could be supplied and the ru-
raj communities could he served in
a most effective mannerso the drudg-
cry of the farms could be eliminat-
ed. The possibilities of generating
and transmitting the electricity will
be thoroughly investigated during
the coming year and huge central
plants may follow.
The Northern Briquetting Co. of
Minot. the first concern in the United

cessfully, have placed their product
on the Minot market, and are now
prepared to turn out between sixty
and eighty tons of the briquettes a
day. The success of the Minot enter
prise will be good news locally.
Our vast fields of Ignite coal only
need the perfection Of the briquet-
ting industry to throw open here
what will some day be North Dako-
ta's greatest industry. The coal is
here in unlimited quantities and of
a quality probably superior to any
other in the state. While it is now
marketed in large quantities over
the state as it comes from the mine,
the completion of a successful bri-
quoting process enables the mar
keting Of it in competition with all
other Goals at a decided advantage,
in favor Of the Ignite. While the
Minot plant has only been running
for a few days, everything is going
smoothly, with an output of about
eight tons an hour. The briquettes
retail at $40 per ton and are said to
have more heat units per ton than
the hard coal which sells at $3.50.
