In the Future

Opportunity, He Declares
Before Women
MEANS DEVELOPMENT

Minot, N. d., Oct. S.-Belief that
North Dakota is destined to take an
important place in the development
of "super power projects in the
country was expressed by Governor
r. A. Nestos, in addressing joint
meeting of the Federation of Womcns
Clubs and the State Library Assoca-
ton here this afternoon.
"Not only should we know and
tell the story Of the wonderful pro-
ductivitly of our state and how I'M
measurably richer in productive soil
we are in proportion to population
than any other country on the face
of the globe, but we should also
learn the story of the Goals and
claws of our state" the Governor
said, speaking on the subject of
Building and Boosting North Dako-
ta."
"The question Of heat and power
is becoming increasingly important
in every part of the world he CON
tinued, "and the time is not far dis
tant when in every part of the Unit
ed States they will be creating and
maintaining giant power projects
where, utilizing both the waterfall
and the mine, they will weave net
work Of transmission lines that Will
make these sources Of power, heat,
and light available to practically
every community. When this mar
vel is wrought, when that which now
is largely the dream of the elcctri-
cal engineer and the promoter be-
comes realized in power projects and
transmission lines, the Ignite coal
mines of North Dakota will play a
most important part. 1t takes no
prophet to predict that before long
we will have such power projects at
the entrance of many mine in our
state, using the power created from
the coal waste, not only to mine, bri-
quette and load the Ignite itself but
to manufacture the by-products and
to furnish power for the lighting OF
the nearby cities, villages, and farms
for the activities of the home and
farmstead, and also for milling, min,
ing, and the canning of many OF oul
agricultural products thus concen
trated and rendered more convenient
for shipment to the great consuming
centers of our country.
Will Share In 1t
Surely, of this power a share viii
also be employed to manufacture tn
almost lnexhaustible supplies o
clays of very high quality to b.
found in the hills near the coal mine
in the southwestern part of the state
and that before another decade o
two has gone by. North Dakota viii
supply the brick, the tile, the earth
enware, and the chinaware for all o
the north central region of the Unit
ed States"
Much of the Governors address
was devoted to agriculture and tn
prospects for immigration to Mort
Dakota. He urged that the state
the land of opportunity.
North Dakota is a land of oppol
tunity and it is yours" said the exc
cutive. "You have wrought nobly i
the acknowledged strength and exec
lence of its homes, schools, an
churches, in the democracy of it's sc
cial life and in keeping the avenue
of opportunity open to all who com
within its hospitable borders. Cor
tinue, We builders of the common
wealth, to make it worthy of it
highest tribute. Join with other
likeminded in making it truly
Greater North Dakota and publis
to all the world that here is the Ian
of opportunity where prosperity ma
be achieved and happiness and col
tentment permanently abide"
