é BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY APRIL 16, 1917. DICKINSON CERTAIN TO BECOME RAILROAD CENTER OF THE WEST T. D. Casey, president of the Dick- inson & iNorthwestern Railway com- pany and president and secretary of the Dickinson & Amidon line, was in Bismarck last week with a mes- sage of cheer from the hustling me- tropolig of western North Dakota. The idea of the Gorham-Amidon lines is to operate them as one con- tinuous system, running into the same station at Dickinson, and giv- ing through service from the metrop- olis of Billings county to the county seat of Slope. Ultimately, it is in- tended to push this line through to Bowman, affording connections with the Milwaukee line and offering the advantage of two outlets for passen- ger and freight traffic handled by the Dickinson road. “All the surveys have been made and plans and specifications and pro- files, even down to the crossings ahd stations, have been prepared, esti- mates are ready, and the contracts will be let in a short time,” said ‘Mr. Casey, this morning. “We have been held up a trifle owing to the fact that some farmers on the Gorham line have petitioned for a slight change in the route which would serve mora people. They are now closing this up with the farmers concerned.” Art of Papermaking Given To the World by Captive i Chinese in Eighth Century In a communication to the National Geographic soclety, issued by the so- ciety as a bulletin, Join Oliver Lea Gorce says: “How much we deplore the strin- gency in raw material for the paper market brought about by the European war, it should not be forgotten that to the beneficent results of a battle fought nearly twelve centuries ago can be traced the introduction of the art of papermaking to the western world, China Is credited with having nurtured the genius who first conceived the idea of a writing material made from fibrous pulp, and some investigators profess to have found evidence that paper existed in the celestial kingdom at least two centuries before the Chris- tian era. Whether these claims of cen- turies of priority will endure the light of further research, or whether they will be discredited just as have been the same natjon’s claim to the inyen- tlon-of the mariner’s compass and gun- powder, the fact is fairly well estab- shed that when the Arabs defeated a raiding party of celestials before the gates of Samarkand, in the middle of the eighth century, they captured a party of Chinamen who were skilled paper makers, It was from thls city of Russian Turkistan, once the capital of that most ruthless of Mongol princes, Tamerlane, thut the art of these cap- tives spread throughout Asia Minor and northern Africa, into Moorish Spain and finally into Italy, where the rst extensive factories were estab- lished In 1276 at Fabriano, still a cen- ter of the paper industry in southern Burope. “Up to the closing years of the eight- eenth century all paper was made by band, sheet by sheet, but in the same year that Napoleon fought the battle of the Pyramids, Louis Robert, a humble workman fn the paper mill of Didot, at Essgones, south of Paris, in- vented a machine for making paper in an endless web. The invention was de- veloped in England by the two Four- driniers, who lost a fortune in their ploneer work. Their names, however, are perpetuated in‘the papermaking machines of the present day. “The first American paper mill was established by William Rittenhouse in Roxborough, near Philadelphia, just 83 years after the first permanent Eng: lish settlement in the United States at Jamestown.” ANOTHER FLOOD CASE, — Another of a long list of damage suits arising out of the flooding of a large portion of Dickinson as a re- ee, Se — 09995550909 90000 @ OLD-TIME COLD CURE— 2 ° DRINK HOT TEA! % FOSS OSH OOOO Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, “Hamburger Brust Thee,” at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and! drink a teacupful at any time during the day or before retiring. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores of the skin, relieving congestion. Also loasens the bowels, thus break- ing up a cold. Try it the next time you suffer from acold or the grip. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore safe and harmless.
