Sunday; Re- turns at 6 P.M. Dickinson, N. D., Jan. 22—Dickin- son business and professional men are assuming the role of hosts next Sunday at Lehigh, the lignite min- ing center 10 miles east of Dickin- son, when some 200 prominent North Dakotans come by special train to inspect the new million dollar lignite briquetting plant just opened by the Lehigh Briquetting company. Dickinson men are providing trans- portation for the visitors from the depot at Lehigh to the plant, tance of about a mile, and the Dick- inson Association of Commerce is serving lunch, The special train over the North- ern Pacific railroad leaves Bismarck at 9 a. m. and returns to the state capital at 6 p. m., permitting a stop from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m., Mandan time, at the plant. Many state offi- cials and legislators will be in the party as will visiting new: r men from outside the state will be guests of the Greater North Dakota Association. The Bismarck Associa- tion of Commerce and Mandan Chamber of Commerce are sending vad delegations on the special ‘ain. In addition to seeing how North Dakota Lignite can now be converted into a commercial fuel of high grade, which may be expected eventually to replace the entire averted coal ton- nage now imported into the north- west, the visitors at the lignite bri- quetting plant at Lehigh will see one of the most modern and efficient me- chanical installations operating in this entire area. No Labor Handling From the time the coal is loaded into the cars in the mine until the finished briquettes are unloaded at distributing points no labor Randi is employed. From the mine tipp! it is delivered by gravity to a ptoekend Sec are ars the boiler. room. Here it is auto- matically feces on chain grate stokers, which automatically regu- late? the heat requirement to main- tain steam pressure. From the screen tower, the coal destined for carbonization is fed. by pari into the steel reserve storage unkers, from the bottom of which it is fed into bucket chain conveyors, which elevate it more than 80 feet to the top of the steel tower which sup- pre the great dehydration and car- onization ovens. Here the coal is dum) into an automatic spreader which feeds the lignite into the de- hydration ovens. The lignite then gravitates down- ward, first through the dehydration oven where the water is driven off, and into the carbonization-distilla- tion ovens where the tar and gases are driven from it in the form of vapor. When these elements have been completely. removed, the coal is carried through a cooling chamber and into the briquetting plant where it receives a coating of pitch which forms the binder to held it in bri- quetted form. After this operation the pitch-coated char is carried to the third floor of the building by automatic conveyor and from there proceeds ue gravity downward through the briquetting press to the loading conveyor belts which deliv- er it to the cars for shipment.

Linton’s 1 Fire Hose Burns Up | sated thir te Linton, N. Dak., Jan. 22—History has it that Nero fired the old home town of Rome. But who ever heard of a fire department burning its hose? ‘The local fire department kept two hoses in the city pump house to be used for big fires. Well, those two hoses burned up, victims of a fire, their eternal enemy. An over heated stove in the pump house started the blaze which won an overwhelming victory over the hoses. The stove was kept burning to prevent water pipes in the build- ing from freezing. 4 barton saved everything but thi §INORTHDAKOTAROAD ‘TRAFFIC PARALYZED BY SEVERE BLIZZARD Subzero Temperatures and Whipping Snow Hold State in ley Grip Today Loose and falling snow, whipped into drifts by a 30-mile gale from the north, today paralyzed traffic in Practically all parts of North Dakota and subszero temperatures held the state in an icy grip.
