The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1919-10-16

For many months the people OF Val
ley City and Barnes county have been
watching with interest the develop
ment of its latest but by no means,
the least, of it's industries the flax
fibre mill or plant. When this new en-
terprise was started it was looked on
with sort of question mark as to it's
success because other enterprises had
gone by the boards. But those in
charge of this new manufacturing in
stitution were a different class Of men.
Take John D. Gray, w. H. Messer, /.
j. Moe, A. B. Cox, Geo. w. Bowen,
C.. H. Davis and various others,
for instance, they knew the possibili-
ties that lie before such an institution
and they have gone steadily ahead in
promoting it and building up the big
plant that now stands on it's site north
east of the city this side of the big
railroad bridge along the line of the
interurban street railway. Those Of
you who have not been out to the new
plant would be surprised today to go
there and see what they have got.
We went out yesterday and were
greatly surprised at the big plant that
is now so materially in evidence.
These men who have been going ahea
quietly building this. big plant have
shown that. they have faith in the
country, faith in the enterprise they
have put their money in, and faith
that it is going to be Winner-and
it is. To start with they have erected
some mammoth buildings covering
ground 450x5O feet and when you look
at them you will see some buildings.
These are not buildings on pictures
but they are built or about completed.
These men who have been going ahead
ment 215x50 where the machinery is
being installed in the front part. Let
us say right here that the big ma
chine that is to do the work Of making
this product costs $4,000 alone. The
big foundation is in for this big ma
chine and the officers Of the company
are going below in few days to see
! it demonstrated and if satisfactory
the machine will be shipped here at
once. In this same machine building
will be placed a hemp drier. This, is
another expensive piece of machinery
SO feet long through which the hemp
lis sent and it takes one and halt
hours for it to 60 through this ma
chine. Steam coils are provided for
sending through hot air for drying
purposes, the boiler now in position
/ being. just a few feet east Of this ma
chine in separate building. The
1 workshop is also in connection with
this boiler room which is fire proof
There is a building made Of solid ce-
| ing where the hemp isdkept to be fed
to the big drier and in its process to
this drier it travels the length Of this
huge building. Part of this big struc-
ture is also to be used for storing man
ufactured products ready for shipping
