Ben Luck Guilty of Manufacturing
LiuuOr-9O Days

The home of Ben Luck, in the east
e1h end of the city, was raided by
Chief Mcdonald and assistants early
Sunday morning. A still and guam
tity Of mash were found in the place
but the still was not in operation at
the time. Officers found some large
barrels in the basement, entirely too
large to be taken in thru the doors.
The theory has been suggested that
the house must have been built around
the barrels. Luck appeared before
Judge Murray Monday, pleaded guilty
and received sentence of 80 days in
the county Jail, fine of 5000 and $12
costs, with 80 days additional in de-
fault of paying fine and costs. He was
charged with manufacturing liquor for
sale as a beverage. Luck has wife
and three children and is in poor tinan-
cial circumstances. The county will
undoubtedly have to assist the family
while Luck remains in Jail.

NORTHERN STATES POWER CO.
MAKE MANY IMPROVEMENTS

a water weigher is one of the in
teresting contrivances in the plant.
All Of the water used in the boilers is
weighed. BY computing the amount
Of water evaporated with the number
Of tons of coal burned the cost Of
making steam is figured down to a
J. Mt. In that way, they are able to
- if they are getting enough power
the coal consumed.
" ably the most important i'm
pf ement that has been made at the
plant comprises the four automatic
stokers that have been attached to
the boilers. The stokers scatter the
Ignite slack over the fire bed evenly,
working on the principle of manure
spreader. 1t is not necessary to open
the doors of the furnace but seldom.
The heat is distributed evenly. The
slack is burned perfectly without elm
kers. There is no cold air to cool off
the furnace, as when the doors are
opened. There is fan that blows
the air under the ash bed The draft
can be adjusted perfectly to get the
maximum efficiency out of the coal.
There is an apparatus attached to
each furnace that tells the exact am
cunt Of carbon dioxide in the waste
gas that is pumped out of the f1ue
whenever a test is made When too
much air is forced into the fire, the
fuel is wasted and this test gives the
furnacemen an opportunity to regu-
late the air to perfection. The tests
are made frequently and vast am
cunt Of fuel is thus saved. And when
concern uses 5000 tons of coal a
month, it pays to get everything out
of it there is in it. Efficiency is the
watchword at the plant of the North
ern States Power Co. The plant burns
scarcely anything but slack coal. The
automatic stOkers will not handle lump
coal. Slack coal is also cheaper The
stokers were all installed during the
fall.
Three men now handle four boilers,
where formerly it required one man
for each boiler, and the work is now,
done more pleasantly and with less
exertion.
The plant in addition to furnishing
light and power for the city of Minot,
is connected with Burlington, Des
Lacs, Lone Tree and Berthold. A
number Of farms between Minot and
those towns are supplied with electric
ity from, the Minot plant
The capacity of the plant is 100
kilowatts. This is the maximum cap
acity. There is sufficient reserve cap
acity SO that if it becomes necessary
to shut down one engine the other
three can easily handle the load.
The present plant will handle the
needs of city of $4,000 to 10000
people, so Minot will be well taken
care of for the next two or three
years. When it becomes necessary to
add to the equipment, the Northern
States Power Co. can be depended
upon to give us the service needed.
There are safety devices for the

high school, announced the state tour
nament for Minot in March. Major
A.. }. McCannel announced the Burns
program at the Auditorium Jan. q.
Henry Wilson, president of the Asso-
citation Of Commerce, made plea for
a continuance of the cooperation be-
tween the Town Criers and the parent
organization, the Association of Com
merce. Mr.. Smart spoke eloquently
of the work done by Prof. Howard in
a musical way to provide Sunday
hour free for the people of Minot at
the auditorium twice month Prof
Howard announced progress being
made with the Community band and
urged all Criers who play an instru-
ment to join. The evening was big
success and another feather in the cap

iosity, wanted to see how it wour

BURLINGTON POTATO GROWERS
SET MARK AT 100000 BUSHELS

John H. Werner, banker and potato
king from Burlington, was in the city
Tuesday.
Mr.. Werner says the Burlington po-
tat0 growers who raised about 5000
bushels Of pure Early Ohios, Tri-
umphs and Green Mountain potatoes
last year, have saved practically the
entire crop for seed. Mr.. Werner
himself has 5000 bushels and will
plant 800 acres to potatoes. Jourgen
Olson will plant five or six hundred
acres on his various farms. Einar
Madison, James Casteel, the Johnson
and Jacobson boys, and many others
are planning on putting in, good sized
lots.
The Burlington growers want to
raise a 100000 bushel crop. This
will not only attract the buyers, in
surfing them ready market at the
highest prices, but they will also be
justified in building a potato ware
house which they have had under
consideration for some time! The
potatoes are worth dallar bushel
now but Mr.. Werner predicts that the
price for certified seed in the spring
will be around $1.25 bushel.
Last season, Mr.. Werner raised
wheat that averaged 18 bushels per
acre on ground that raised potatoes
the year before. James Casteel's
wheat last year on potato ground av-
eraged 20 bushels.

A representative of TIN ,endent
who has been aware that, &. very
extensive improvements V 'een
made at the power plant of IT,. =: h
ern States Power Co., accepted - :
vitation of j. B. Brokaw, the man &
to visit the plant one afternoon
Gently and spent a very interest,>
hour.
The writer has watched the develop
ment of this plant ever since the days
of l.. NJ. Davis, who installed the first
electric lights in our city when Minot
was village of only thousand peo-
pie. Minot thot she was "some pump
kins" when Mr.. Davis was induced to
give US a 24-hour service. Later Mr..
Davis listened to the pleadings of the
independent to give. US a power SER
vice and our plant installed the first
electric motor ever placed in the city
Of Minot. Mr. Davis promised to in
stall the power service only as a trial,
for he was not very sure that it would
pay the company to go to this bother.
Later we watched with interest the in.
stallation of the heating service from
the central heating plant, which came
after the Byllesby company had taken
over the Davis interests.
The Northern States Power Co. de-
serves a,t,reat deal of credit for the
servic ] they have given the citizens
of .dinot and it might surprise our
readers to learn that while lit
tie attempt has been made to make
many of the extensive improvements
which have been contemplated for
some time, yet during, the past year,
the company has expended in the city
of Minot in improvements and added
equipment $52,5OO.OO. This includes
$4,000 for steam turbine; $4,000 for
station auxiliaries; $11 500 for auto
matte stokers on four boilers; $500
for water line to Mouse, river, and $3,-
500 for a new machine shop
The writer was first taken thru the
machine shop by Mr.. Brokaw. The
shop has been installed in new
building erected this year and includes
a fine lathe, drill, grinder, power
driven hack saw and Z a blacksmith
forge. The shop enables practically
all work necessary to be done about
the plant, to be made by the cOmpany's
own expert mechanics.
We do not profess to know very
much about machinery, but one can
not help but become interested in the
mammoth new 800 Kilowatt steam tur-
bine installed during the past year.
This is twice as large as any Of the
older machines Of this nature. 1t
runs 5000 revolutions minute. We
know what we are talking about be-
cause we stood right there and count
ed 'em.
There is only one old machine left
in the plant which was installed dur
ing the time Of L. NJ. Davis. This is
a Corliss engine, fine type of an old
machine, and in it's day it was won
der, but it develops only one-third the
power Of the later models.
