Belfield, Aug. 7.—The citizens of Belfield lay claim to having the most modern and attractive city of its size in the state of North Dakota, and if one stops to enumerate the many improvements that have been made here in recent months, the claim will appear to be well founded. ‘The most recent addition is natural gas, which was turned into the homes and business places late last week. The growth of Belfield in the past decade is indicated in numerous ways. Ten years ago it had a population of 519; the recent census shows 660. All| business houses are filled and there are no empty residences. There are} no houses for rent and some newly- | arrived families are living in tents under the shade trees of the Heart river, which forms a part of the city park system. Another index of growth is the city schools. Last winter the Belfield high school had 100 students, as against 85 in 1929 and 77 in 1928. The} grade school has a present enrollment of 220. The school building, erected | in 1914, is already too small. The school has 12 teachers, under the di- rection of Superintendent H. W. Pearson, who has just returned from the University of Minnesota. where he secured his M. A. degree upon fin- ishing his work in educational ad- ministration and psychology. Mail Business Growing A good indication of growth comes though the postoffice. In 1922 the three star routes served about 125 patrons once or twice a week; at present the same routes are serving 300 patrons daily. Postmaster Carl Indegard is giving his assistance to an effort that is being made to have two more rural routes established. Belfield has an inexhaustible sup- ply of excellent water. The city wa- ter system, established five years ago, is fed from wells within the city limits. Belfield’s city and tourist parks, as well as a major part of the residen- tial district, are situated along the deep, winding gullies of the Heart river. These river gullies. bordered by giant ash, elm and cottonwood trees, wind in labyrinth fashion thoughout the resident section, and are crossed by numerous footbridges, which are laid among the breezy tree- tops from 30 to 50 feet above the bot- tom of the river. The city park, which was sponsored by the Civic league, contains five of these pic- turesque acres, where the footbridges ‘among the treetops form a veritable network of lovers’ lanes. The tourist park is just across the road and forms @ part of this enchanting scenery. Fire Loss Reversed Belfield is favorably situated at the junction of the two great’ national highways—Nos. 10 and 85, but up to the present time very little has been done toward acquainting the passing tourists with Belfield’s scenic attrac- tions and facilties. When this is done, the city will become one of the key points for tourists in western North Dakota. The most important commercial undertaking at Belfield the past year was the establishment of the Dak-O- Nite plant by the Dakota Colloidal corporation. The raw materia! used by this plant is a colloidal clay, ex- cellent for scouring and cleansing purposes, which was discoverefi in the hills 11 miles northwest of Belfield by Frank Kessel some four years ago. A carload of the refined product was shipped to Minneapolis last week for oil refining purposes. The first Dak-O-Nite plan’. was built at Belfield in October, 1929, but was destroyed by fire the following February. The project would prob- ably have been abandoned a‘ that time, had it not been for Percy Ca- daux, of Jamestown, who saw the im- mense possibilities of Nak-O-Nite and took a leading part in effecting a re- organiaztion. The old Dak-O-Nite plant cost $20,000 to build and equip; the new one was completed about the middle of June at a cost of $40,000. The Plant is expected to have a capacity of 150 tons daily, when run on a 24- hour schedule. The plant is fitted with 13 electric motors, generating a total of 180 horsepower. Believe in Industry A revolving drum in which the raw product is heated and dried is five feet in diameter, 48 feet long and fitted at one end with a gas blast fur- nace. From the drum, the clay~is fed into a crusher, thence into other channels for drying purposes and is then elevated to a bin at the top of the building with a capacity of 30 tons. From here it is fed into pul- verisers; then it enters an air separ- ator where the refined product is blown into a ten-ton bin fitted with automatic baggers. The enterprise is too new to admit of any prophecy as to its future, but ® majority of the business men of Belfield regard it as a “gold mine,” not ‘only for the promoters but for the city in which it is located.

Belfield has two churches with resident pastors—the Catholic and Lutheran. Rey. Christian Notstad is the new Lutheran pastor at Belfield, having arrived with his family from the Twin Cities last week. Mr. Notstad has found that many people through- out the district that he will serve are not connected with any church. and he plans an energetic campaign aiaed by the members, to gring these peo- ple back into affiliation with the ,church. C. J. Hanson & Son, whose ranch is located four miles south of Bel- field. have been ‘faising registered Hereford cattle the past ten years. Others who have gone in for Here- fords are Carl Gunkel, J. O. Germen, the Cosgrove ranch, J. J. Murphy, manager, and Colberg & Sons. Most of the farmers have dairy cattle, the Holsteins predominating. TOURIST CAMPS ARE HELDINSPECTABLE | Supreme Court Upholds Appli- cation of Food and Hotel Act by State Efforts to enjoin the state food | commissioner and the inspector of | hotels from applying the hotel inspec- tion act to an automobile tourist camp failed in an action decided by the North Dakota supreme court. The higher court affirmed a deci- sion of Judge Fred Jansonious, who sustained a general demurrer to the complaint in the Burleigh county dis- trict court. Under the statute, the hotel inspec- tor has authority to compel tourist camp proprietors to meet certain re- quirements in the operation of camps. The case was brought by W. L. Lock- wood, Valley City tourist camp owner, against R. O. Baird, food commission- er, and D. E. Shipley, inspector of ho- tels. Attorney General James Morris and Charles Simon, assistant attor- ney general, defended the food com- missioner and the inspector.
