SAYS Ignite

is FEASIBLE

St. Paul. Jan. % --Lignite coal
fields Of North Dakota, which contain
seven hundred trilliou tons, can sup
Ply the United States with fuel for
100 years. sai Dr.. Hans HolzwOrth,
German inventor and com bustion en-
einccr. during an address on "tha
progress Of making Ignite briquets,"
before an audience of St Paul en-
1inccfs and tinanciers.
DR.. Holzworth, illustrating his lee
ture with lantern slides, said he had
been Investigating the North Dakota
Ignite fields for some time and is
convinced the vast supply, briqueted
by process of distillation by rotary
kilns, can be marketed and by
products extracted can be disposed
of at large profits.
1t is intended, he said. that the
first plant be erected at Richardson,

will be equipped with kilns built by

North Dakota coal needs carbon

commercial product" he said. He
declared large power stations built
or the Ignite fields can supply cheap
power to industries and in time
transform North Dakota from an
agricultural to manufacturing
state.
