There were 18 “miners from the pit” as prescribed by union labor delegates | for their fellow workers on hand to | listen, John L, Lewis, president of the union, was confined to his bed all day by a slight cold.

There is, however, he added, too much “calamity howling” in the east- ern part of the state, which injures the entire state. Mr, Milloy was in,Bismarck today, returning from Dickinson on bus-{ ss. He said he talked with two business men in Dickinson and Man- dan who said business conditions were good, but expressed surprise. “There is no need to be surprised,” Mr. Milloy said. “They ought to be surprised if they are not good. There is too much stability to this western country. One cannot figure on the basis Of conditions in 1890 and 1895 when there were a few homesteads scattered over the prairies. ‘The Southwest corner of the state is in good shape, not booming, and crops generally are fair, somewhat spotted. There is no danger of going back to the times in 1917 and 1918 when things really were bad. The lighite industry brings probably a million dollars a year in Burleigh county alone. Interests in the stction are more diversified than ever be- fore. 3 “Bank clearings show an increase, and so do postal receipts. So why argue about conditions? Facts are facts.” With regard to the northwestern part of the state he said that the Minot section this year is in equally as good shape as last year, perhaps better. There is a good crop from Donnybrook west, almost as good as last year, the biggest crop in many years. The crop is spotted but on the whole good, he added. _ INBAD FLOOD El Paso, Tex., Aug. 25.+-Two per- sons’ were killed, yn severely in- jured and a score slightly hurt in a flood which did $200,000 damage to, edohe homes in the lowlands of Juarez across the Rio Grande from here last night. t London, Ang.

It is to be the policy of the Attor-! ney-General to conduct such hearings when there. appears _doubt as to whether license to conduct a business licensed should be granted,’ and to decide upon the evidence.

MANUFACTURE NEW PRODUCT IN BISMARCK Northern Produce Company Puts its “Buttermilk Flour” Plant in Operation ONLY TWO IN. STATE Buttermilk, Formerly Waste Product, Is Reduced and Sold for Stock Food Use The Northern Produce Company of Bismarck will ship, probably on Monday, the first car of “buttermilk flour,” ‘3 new product being manu- factured in Bismarck. The local plant of the Northern Produce and one at; Minot are the only two in North Da- kota to enter this business. The product is being manufactured in the Bismarck'plant in a new ad- dition built -especially for the pur- pose, The addition is a one-story brick, 35x47, with cement floor. A buttermilk drying plant also is comparatively new to the industry, having been developed in the last few years. Buttermilk in its raw state 1s a great feeding product, it 1s explained, but cannot be transported in great quantities in its raw state. So the system of reducing the but- termilk to powder was evolved. In the powdered form it is used by big stock food companies in blending and balancing foods, containing rich ele- ments. In the vernacular of the bus- milk flour.” Water only is evaporated from the buttermilk, which is produced in the local plant. One hundred pounds of buttermilk will give about eight pounds of powder. The system is an- other step in the produce industry Formerly the buttermilk went chief- ly into a sewer, but now will go into stock food. Three extra men are employed in the new plant, and it is just about ‘xeady to ship ite first car of 86,000 Much Poultry Just what the fall season will bring! in the way of poultry business is of course uncertain, according to Carl Nelson, manager of the local plant. However, he said, there is a greater amount of poultry in this section of the state this year than ever before. There are some officials at the Agri- cultural College who believe the number of turkeys produced in the state this year will exceed any other year. Mr. Nelson said an accurate es- timate of turkeys cannot be made now. It is encouraging to note, accord- ing to officials of the local produce company, that poultry raisers in this section are turning to the heavier stock, it commanding the best price| when sold for meat. Raisers are aban- doning scrub stock and light stock, and are benefitting greatly thereby, it is stated. ROAD WORK BEING DONE Three Townships Are Improv- ing Their Highways Much road work is being done by townships in the vicinity of Bismarck at this time. A mile of road beyond Falconer hill, in Lincoln. township, south of the city has been graded and the grading will be continued. Rice township is to do grading ‘work, connecting up with the: work of Lincoln township. The road building is on the 20-mile loop road which was built some years ago. The work probably will cost about $2,000. A new road is being opened up in Riyerview township north of the city. This township also plans work on the river road. { . In Sibley Butte township the entire rural mail route is being regraded, rélined and ditches plowed, The work starts at a point five miles north of McKenzie, goes six milés north, two car was broken and it had been strip- ped of removable parts.
