First National Bank
MAY BUILD TRANSMISSION LINE
TO GRAVEL PIT

TO GRAVEL PIT
The Northern Pacific has decided to
install an electric gravel washing ana
stone crushing plant at the old gravel
pit in Darling, probably during the
coming summer. The company is nego-
tiating with the Water Power company
of this city to supply it with current
and a transmission line may be built
to that place by the local power com
pany. Should the line be built, it will
be continued to Randall, as the resi-
dents of that village are said to be
anxious to get electric lighting. The
line would likely be constructed this
summer.
The proposed plant at the pit would
enable the railway company to use a
great deal of gravel that otherwise
would be almost worthless.
