CONTEMPLATED
AT DICKINSON
Hughes to Double Capacity of
Power Plant, Add New
Equipment Soon

Plans for doubling the capacity Of
the Hughes Electric company's plant
at Dickinson were announced here
today by f. A. Hughes, president Of
the company.
The present capacity of the plant,
1000 kilowatts, will be increased to
1000 kilowatts through the pro-
jected improvements and installation
Of additional machinery.
Work on the Dickinson plant will
be started as soon as construction
work is finished at the Beulah plant,
which is expected to be about Sep
tember |.
New equipment to be installed in
the Dickinson plant includes large
1000 kilowatt generating unit. ad-
ditional boilers and new switchboard
equipment.
The Dickinson plant is considered
an important unit in the Hughes
system because it is practically at
one end Of the main power line, with
Bismarck at the other end and Beu-
lah at a central point. These three
stations will develop enough power
to supply the entire western part Of
the state.
Faith in the continued growth and
development of the West Slope have
prompted him to make the improve
ment on the Dickinson station, Mr..
Hughes said.

SEARCH BEING
CONTINUED FOR

New Reports Bolster Theory
That Lost Plane Was
Heard Monday A. M.

New York. May l3-P--A con-
centrated search Of wild and rocky
areas Of the extreme northeastern
Atlantic coast was under way today
for Captains Nungessct and Coil as
new reports bolstercd the theory
that their lost bipiane passed over
the fog covered region last Monday
morning.
Support of the belief that the
French aviatOrs reached the Atlantic
coast was seen in the report Of two
fishermen that an unidentified plaEe
had passed over st. Mary's Bay, n.
s., early last Monday morning. Al
Harbor Grace, New Foundland, six
persons have said they heard an air.
plane pass over that town the same
morning.
Search Gets New Impetus
Although Harbor Grace and ST.
Mary's Bay are more than COO miles
apart, the organized search by radio.
ships and airplanes was given new
impetus, since New FOundland and
the maritime provinces are in the
path laid out by Captain Nungcsser
before he hoped off with Coli Sum
day on his $500 mile flight for New
York.
While Canadian air force officials
said the absence Of government air
craft over. Nova Scotia Monday
strengthened the possibility that the
plane reported seen at st. Mary's
Bay was the Nungesser machine,
they pointed out that the same plane
could not have passed over both Har-
bor Grace and st. Mary's Bay early
Monday morning, due to the 600 miles
distance. St. Mary's Bay lies south
west of HarbOr Grace, where a plane
was heard between and 10 q. m.
(Atlantic time).
I! America, France and the Canadian
governments are continuing the
search along the Atlantic coast. in
