COMPLETED
FOR GLENDIVE TO
WILLTTON PIPES
Work On MOntana-North Dakota
Project to Start in April and be
Completed By September LIST.

Plans and specifications for the
pipeline to be built from Glendive
to Williston by the Montana-Da-
kota Power Company have been
completed and inquiries are now
out for quotations on the neces-
sary pipe and other material ac-
cording to an announcement made
today by the Williston office of
the Montana-Dakota Power Com
pany. 1t is expected that deliv-
cries on the pipe will start early
in March so that the distribution
of pipe can be completed before
the frost leaves the ground in the
Spring. The trenching and other
work will start as soon as the
frost is out of the ground and
weather conditions permit.
Time Limit for Job.
The time required to lay the 80
miles of Main line from Glendive
to Williston should not exceed 12O
days and it is expected that gas
service will be available to custom
ers in all towns along the line, in
Guiding Williston, not later thar
September 1, 1880. The route oil
the line will be through Savage
Sidney and Fairview, making SER
vice available in these three towns
as well as Willston and also the
farms along the route of the line
The Power Company hopes to com
plete arrangements with the HOll!
Sugar Company at Sidney for the
use of gas in their plant this com.
ing Fall.
The Company also contemplate:
the construction of a compressor
station on the gas field approx
mately 40 miles south of Glendivt
where the pressure on the gas go
ing into the pipeline will be bull
up sufficiently to deliver gas IL
sufficient quantities at Williston.
To Use Natural Gas.
The Montana-Dakota Power Co
is starting construction on a new
power plant at Williston whicl
should be completed by the tim,
that the gas line to Williston j
completed. This power plant vii
use natural gas for fuel under tn,
boilers and will be approximate,
the same size and type as tn,
plants recently built by the Com
pany at Miles City and Glendive
This new power plant will replac

Plant which the Power Compan,
has been operating since takinI
it over from the government abou
four years ago. A fire destroye
a large portion of the government
plant last Fall so that only a POI

game.
Mr.. Gibson was veteran of the
