‘ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1980 TWO LINES SERVING NORTH DAKOTA HAVE Third Line Into Flickertail State Will Serve Rhame, Bowman, i and Others | SUPPLY OF FUEL ADEQUATE} Another System North to Can- ada and Fifth Leading to Wyoming Under Way Expansion of the natural gas op- eratios of the Montana-Dakota Power company and its associated companies has been under way at five different points, according to officials of the concern here The company has built _a 200 mile Jine east from the Baker, Mont., field to serve Dickinson, Mandan, and Bis- marck, and other points it touches. Another line has been built north from Glendive, Mont., to serve Sid- ney, Fairview, and Williston, ‘The Northwest States Utilities company is building a 51 mile line from the Billy Creek field in north- eastern Wyoming to serve Sheridan and Buffalo, Wyo. This line will be completed about Oct. 1. The same company is building a 40 mile line north from Shelby, Mont., to the Canadian border to make a larger supply of natural gas available for distribution at Great Falls, Mont. The Montana-Dakota Power com- pany is building a 25 mile line west from Marmarth, N. D., to serve Rhame and Bowman. This line will be extended east from Bowman prob- ably next year. Montana-Dakota Power has obtained a certificate of convenience and necessity to extend the Bismarck line east to Fargo but announcement has not been made as yet as to when this extension will be started. It also Hfs obtained a cer- tificate to extend the Williston line east to Minot. Drilling Is Constant Drilling operations on the Baker- Glendive field constantly are enlarg- ing the known gas reserves. The Gas Development company, an as: ciate company of the Montana-Di kota Power company, is carrying @ steady program of | oper: ations and several of the largest wells on the entire field were brought in this year, the largest well testing 28,500,000 cubic feet while five oth- egg in excess of 20,000,000 cubic feet. The open flow capacity of wells now drilled is in excess of 350,000,- 000 cubic feet. The total demand on the field for the 1930.31 season prob- bly will not be in excess of 25,000,- JUST BEEN FINISHED:: tending lines as fast as drilling op-/ 000 cubic feet. The open flow ca- pacity of the field, therefore, is ap- proximately 14 times the present daily demand. The known gas re- serves assure an adequate supply of gas for all present requirements for approximately 50 years. Further expansion of the pipe lines out of the Baker field to the east will depend upon continued drill- it s. The company has ing out a program of ex- erations uncover additional quanti- ties of gas. The Glendive-Baker field from the point of acreage is second to none in size in the United States. All of the gas now being taken from the field is from the top of shallow sands at a depth of approximately 900 feet. The company expects that as drilling operations continue, this field will develop to be one of the largest natural gas fields in the country. Find Service Satisfactory Consumers of gas in the towns) now served by the company are finding the service highly satisfac- tory and economical. Already in the Black Hills district over 3,000 cus- tomers are using natural gas exclu- sively for heating of their homes and places of business. More than 90 per-cent of the gas consumers at Miles City, Mont., are using gas for all heating purposes. The same is true at Havre, Mont., and other points served by the company. The use of gas for heating pur- poses is particularly attractive be- cause of the temperature control. Automatic time afld temperature control maintains a constant and even temperature in the home or place of business eliminating entire- ly the necessity of watching or main- taining the temperature manually. The Montana-Dakota Power com- pany and the Northwest States Util- ities company are the largest distrib- utors of natural gas in the North- west. The Montana-Dakota Power company distributes all of the na- tural gas sold in North and South Dakota. The Northwest States Util- ities company and the Montana-Da- kota Power company produce all of the gas marketed in Montana except gas used at Billings and Shelby. The completion of the line to serve Sheridan and Buffalo, Wyo., will make the Northwest States Utilities company one of the largest natural gas distributors in Wyoming. Gas Property in Texas Will Be Extended Soon Del Rio, Texas, Sept. 4.—Texas Gas Utilities company has approx- imately 60 miles of gas pipe line constructed between the Rycade field in Maverick county, Texas, to a/power plant on Devil’s river. The company turned on gas July 1. Besides distribution plans in Del Rio, Eagle Pass and Crystal City, the company has obtained right-of- way for a general extension of the system to several Winter Garden towns in the southern bend of the Rio Grande river. ;. helts of Heney Me Steene of Hittin, eirs 0! enry M. in, Ohio, will lose their inheritance.” We appreciate having hed the opportunity of bemg associated with the Montana-Dakota in bringing natural gas to Utilities company USE GOOD JUDGMENT IN BUYING YOUR GAS RANGE, SELLERS SAY Big Oven, Burners of Two Dif- ferent Sizes, Among Good Points Mentioned Gas stoves are often selected and used with little thought and care and yet on the stove in many homes de- pends the good disposition and un- impaired digestion of all its mem- bers, consequently it is quite neces- sary for the well-being of the family that the person using the stove knows how to buy and use one prop- erly. No wonder ft is called the heart of the home! Now, just a few words about the purchase of a range. Decide on the location and the amount of space that can be given to it in the kitchen before going to the merchant. Direct light from windows should fall on the top burners; for this reason the oven, if a high one, should be on the side opposite the window. It is nec- essary to know the size of ' space allowed so that one will not be likely to buy a stove so large that it will project out awkwardly beyond a doorway or into a passageway. The finish of nearly all makes of stoves may be black, black and white, gray and white, or in colors. The latter, as you might suppose, is the most expensive finish. Simply bear in mind in the same make of stove and same model, except for the finish, you can get just as good cooking re- sults on a black and white stove as|t you can on one highly decorated. Oven Is Big Feature By all means consider the bakin; oven as to lining, finish, size an height. Have you ever stopped to consider how superfluously large some ovens are and how much gas is required to heat them, as well as the amount of heat that radiates? The oven should be large enough, but not too large to meet the needs of the family. As to correct height, just remember you have only one back,’ which must last through the rest of your life. The insulated oven is a fine economy in that it not only saves gas but keeps the kitchen cool in hot weather. The thermostat or ‘oven heat con- trol is surely a gift of the gods. It is a device placed on the oven which registers accurately the temperature of the oven, and also keeps it con- stant. All the operator has to do is to turn the gas cock on full, light the burner, set the control wheel on the outside of the oven to the tem- perature designated by the reci; The gas stays on full until the sired temperature is reached, and then checks down automatically to a very tiny flame, by means of the heat control, thus only enough gas flows to keep the temperature con- stant. The gas cock is used only to Citizens of Bismarck We extend to you our hearty congretwlations on the completion of your natural gas system, we feel due to the part we played in this work, that our construction, engineering experience has opened a new avenue of prosperity for Bis- marek and vicinity.

Inthe home, Johnson Gas Burners are an integral part of the gas range or laundry stove. In the tin shop, auto repair shop, machine shop, battery shop, vocational school, and laboratory, Johnson Bench Furnaces, Melting Furnaces, Heat-Treating Furnaces, Bunsen Burn- ers, and Hand Torches, are performing their re- spective duties in a manner which has won for them a nation-wide reputation for endurance, efficiency, and economy. In factories, special installations of gas burners for vats, tanks, boilers, etc., lend themselves ideally to the requirements of industry by functioning continuously and eco- nomically. And even in restaurants and cafeterias, the Johnson Thermostatic Heat Control for coffee urns and steam tables, is a receitinadl factor in preventing excessive use of gas, overboiled coffee, and overcooked foods. To this ow od community and the Montana- Dakota Power Co. we extend congratulations and express the hope that we may be privileged fittingly ta serve Bismarck’s homes and industries through various Johnson Gas Appliances.
