Ignite Coal Mines Of North Dakota
Are Being Better Advertised
In the East ,.>

The people of western North Da-
kota are enthusiastic believers In the
future that lies ahead of this great
section of the state. They have good
reason for their enthusiasm They
have two great sources of power,
now lying almost untouched, but
awaiting only the right development
to work wonderful transformation.
These two sources are Ignite coal
and the Missouri river.
The Williston Herald discussing
this power Of the future recently,
said:
Reports coming from Mandan, Bis
marck and other down river cities
tell of rumors that the Northern pa-
cifc railroad is considering a plan to
dam the great Missouri and thus to
generate power to electrify probably
at least two divisions of the railroad.
To many OF us the rumor may sound
chimerical and indeed it is not likely
that the immediate future will see
any such change inaugurated. But
the statement has more than passing
significance for US who live along the
banks of the great waterway. It CIV
es glimpse of the great future as.
sured to this territory. ... r:-5 ,
The day is coming, and Is not far
away as some of us may think, when
the Missouri will be harnessed and
made to furnish power in volumes
such as the world has never known
before. The Milwaukee road has
made great success of electrifca-
ton in western Montana. Other rail-
road systems have watched the ex-
pertinent with keen interest. The day
is coming when the coal burning ed.
gine will be rarity and the locomot-
i've propelled by electricity the COM
mon thing in all this western country
where today power in unlimited, un-
told quantities is lying dormant be-
meath the soil and running to waste
in our mighty rivers.
