other North Dakota and Montana
points, with a total expenditure of
100000 were announced today at
Northern Pacific offices here,
Designs for the plants are now in
course of preparation by the rail-

one Of the more important points,
the plant will cost $4,000.
Twenty years ago, the Northern
Pacific installed its first water
treating plant at Dilworth, MIMI,
where troubles were the most acute.
Since that time, softeninp plants
have been established ct West Far
20, Magnolia, Koldok, Valley City,
jamestown, Medina and Dawson,
representing an investment Of about
$4,000.
To Build Plants on Slope
The announcement today said that
additional softening lants are to be
erected at Bismarck, M indian, Sims,
Glen Ullin. Richarl.on, Dickinson,
Belfield, Medora, Beach, Wibaux,
Hickman, Glendive, Conlin, Benz,
Miles City, Joppa, Forsyth, Sanders,
Custer, Pompey's Pillar, Huntley,
Billings and Laurel.
To complete the chain of plants,
this system is expected eventually
to be extended to include points as
far east as Staples, Mimi, and as
far west as livingston, Mont, as
well as to cover an ari section
which is traversed in eastern Wash

supply is from deep wells from
which the water is unusually hard.

The installation of water treating
plants has been prompted not only
b. the desire to reduce the cost Of
locomotive maintenance but also in
an effort to make every possible i'm
provement in locomotive operation
which will tend to expedite the
movement Of both freight ard pas
senger traffic over the transcon-
tinental system.
The outstanding difficulties in To-
connective maintenance and operation
where hard water is used arc due,
first, to the formation Of heavy
scale which insulates tie tubes and
boiler sheets 4esulting in wasteful
use of fuel, also leakage and other
boiler troubles and, second, to a
peculiar quality of this water which
causes pitting and corrosion Of
steel to such an extent that the
boiler tubes which might otherwise

be scrapped within a period Of 18 to
"a months.
