share of the benefits to accrue to the
people of North Dakota where the
natural resources furnish the sinews
for development. He has signified
his intention of allowing such of the
people as desire to invest to purchase
shares to limited amount. The
plans of the company call for the
establishment of five plants thruout
the state. Negotiations have been con-
cluded for plants at New Salem and
Richardton. At the latter plant will
be the immense laboratories and re-
torts for the treatment Of the coal tar
as it is from this bi-product that sub
stantially all the various products
some 200 in number are obtained. In
other words this plant will be the main
plant or centralizer for all the plants
in operation. The contract at this
point calls for the investment of at
least $2OO,0OO.
