the first railroad in the United States
to supply this refinement for the COM

Mr.. Merriman said the expenditure
Just authorized is only part OF a large
outlay which eventually will be made
for Understanding purposes on the
Northern Pacific system. He said the
problem OF hard water is n that is
common to virtually every railroad trav-
ersing the territory between Chicago and
the Rocky mountains.
AT this time the Northern PACIFIC
plans not only to soften the water used
by its locomotives. but also to furnish

Twenty years ago the Northern Pacific
installed its first water-treating plant
to serve the terminal at Dilworth. MINI.
where water troubles were her the most
acute. Since hat time softening plants
have been established at West Fargo
Magnolia, Koldok. Valley City, James
