TO Be WORLDS GREATEST POWER PLANT

ammonia nitrogen plant, Liljen-
roth process plant, a Casale am
monia plant, producing $4,000 tons
of ammonia a year, an ammonium
phosphate-nixing plant, and an an
hydrous ammonia plant.
These plants can be transformed
in thirty days into gigantic NUM-
tons plants in case of war, espec-
tally valuable if the war be in the
Pacific, as it will obviate transporta-
ton across the continent.
"The undertaking is the largest
single industrial undertaking today
in the entire world and will place
the nation in an enviable position
commercially, and in patriotic
sense, as far as national defense is
concerned.
I'VE have acquired the North Am
erican cheap aluminium process rights
Of the Chemische-F abrik Gre;sheim-
Electron Gesselchaft of Ritterfield,
Germany, backed by the big Metall-
bank of Frankfurt. The Gresheim
concern is the largest maker of in
organic chemicals in the world, en-
ploying 10000 men. We have two
experts in their plants, absorbing
the details of their methods.
I'VE have found and bought
enough kaolin clay, producing forty
per cent aluminium, to last us for
all time. The aluminium factory will
go into operation simultaneously
with the power plant. thirty months
after work begins The plant will
produce from the beginning at least
10000 tons of aluminium a year, and
will reduce the cost of aluminium
appreciably.
1--WE have bought the North Am
erican rights for the Italian Casale
synthetic ammonia process, based on
which we have formed the Ammonia
Corporation, with Armour & Co., as
distributors. All we use is air, water
and electric power. We shall pro-
duce fertilizer of highest grade at
$50 a ton less than it can be pro-
duced now.
I'VE have organized the Phos-
phorous Hydrogen Company and ac-
CURED for it Swedish process to
make prosperous acid from phos-
plate rock by means of an electric
furnace instead of treating the rock
with sulphuric acid.
There will be production Of cleo
trolytic iron on great scale for
boiler tubes and other pure malleable
iron purposes as in electrical mach
are available, the largest deposits in
inery and other equipment. The ores
the world, off the Alaskan coast. A
company in Grcnoble, France, will
erect great plant at our dam-site
Tor this purpose"
Mr.. Pierce said his power and ir
rigation company now had it's State
and Federal rights granted, that it's
engineering plans were completed
and that a physical start could be
made tomorrow This start, how
ever, would not be made until the
negotiations for sale Of at least 2oo.-
600 horsepower Mad been ended.
which he expected would be soon.
The power and chemical develop-
ments, he said. would mean a COM
plete north and south railroad for
the first time through Washington
from the Canada border to Oregon.
The Columbia River will also be
used for transport by 1,oOo-ton.
stern-wheel paddle steamers draw
ing FIVE feet of water.
The Power company will invest
$35, 000, 900, the aluminium and am
monium phosphate plants each $l5,-
100000, the electrolytic iron plant
Sl0,0C0.0o0 and the town site $5,O00,-
COO wish S20,000,COO for extras. The
power company by irrigation, will
transform thousands of unproductive
acreage into rich producing soil.
