we must know, which would not be
necessary if it were an old establish
ed business. We must do lot Of
investigating work, work Of an in
vestigating nature, that would not
accompany an old and established
business. We are looking for q To-
cation that will establish co-opera-
tive organization that will see us
through on the business end.
"There is another thing. As Mr..
Darling has told you, the output Of
this plant will be solid fuel which is
the equal of the coal that would COM
pete with it. There would also be a
considerableof good gas, such gas as
would be acceptable gas as industrial
gas for boilers, or burning brick, or
anything Of that sort, but which is
really too good for that and should
be used TO rcity gas. We are looking
for location where this main by-pro-
duct can be sold, where we can get a
market for it, so as to help this in
fant industry get balance on the
right side. Of course, we are looking
for the usual business location, that
is to say, it is something like build
ing on another fellows land-we
would at least like to own the land on
which it was placed. We are figuring
now in units of about 200 tons day
that means the receiving and deliver
ing of that tonnage, and that would
make it necessary to be on railroad
somewhere. We are looking for a
place, of course, where the help would
be housed, where there would be the
usual facilities of the industrials
plants. Those are the elements Of
the problem that we are dealing with.
81 can only say that Williston pre-
sents to me one of the most interest
ing possibilities that we have run
across ((prolonged applause) in that
at this point ther are really two pro-
lens. Williston is town, just like
any other town. The Ignite is here,
and John Bruegger here has dream,
(and there are men with money to in
vest, )-and that will be carefully
considered. But there is also another
unusual problem here, and that is that
the Government itself is interested m
business, the Government is conduct
ing business itself, the Government
itself has a mine, a property here,-
and whether these two things can be
made to bolster up each other, wheth-
er they can be made to strengthen
each other, is very interesting
question.
"We have found on this trip some
thing that will make every American
feel good, that will make his chest
swell out We have found among
the people we have met not only in
terested in their locality, not only
loyalty totheir own location, not only
q keen desire and proper selfishness
that is should be their place, but we
have found that bigger thing, that
is, an earnest wish that this plan that
we have should succeed, and that if
theirs is not the fortunate place,
that we have their God bless you"
anyway. And that is one of the finest
things that anyone can find. ! don't
know about any other country-the
United States is good enough for me
but it is a wonderful spirit, and
something to be proud Of.
Perhaps I will take you down bit
after lifting you up, by telling you
what your competitor has. We have
been in Texas. Texas has lot of
and will last as many hundred thous-
the same number of billions of tons
Ignite. don't know whether it has
and years as yours don't know as
to that, but if I was asked which town
had the most water, Boston or Chi
cago, would say that either has
enough. So it is with Texas. Texas
has enough Ignite. Either place has
enough Ignite. But l was greatly
surprised to find what industries are
developing and growing in Texas to-
day. had thought Of Texas as a
State of long-horned cattle, but !
found things were the other way, that
there were all sorts Of sky-scrapers
down there, all sorts of industries.
One town had the usual skyline of the
western town, and it had one 22-story
building that sticks up in the air and
is referred to as 'Woco's silo." It is,
however, busy, filled up office.
building. There are number of To-
cations down there, each with its
special problem, each a possible lcca-
ton for this sort of thing.
wherever this plant is placed, if
it succeeds-we are optimists, but
don't dare to say too much about
that, we think it is going 70 succeed,
and if it does succeed it means the
duplication of plants of this sort in
all these areas, in het Texas area, in
the Dakota areas. But think it is
something that we can both work at
whole heartedly, a possibility based
on what may be accomplished through
this Department and this great in
dustry. thank you" prolonged
applause.)
