Feragen was guest speaker at a gathering of Farmers Union members and Mitchell area businessmen at the Davison County 4-H Fairgrounds Sunday night during the Davison County Farmers Union "Town and Country" picnic. Feragen told the farmers and businessmen that the proposed Basin Electric plant to be located In the North Dakota lignite fields will draw its power from the Missouri River and will enable East River to provide low cost power to its electrical consumers.

The plant, designed to serve a five-state area, is being constructed at a cost of approximately $36,600,000. This money, the speaker said, was borrowed from the Rural Electric Administration of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and will be paid back over a period of 35 years with interest. The Basin Electric plant is being built by 67 rural electric cooperatives, 21 of which are members of East River Electric.

The new plant, in addition to providing economical electricity to its rural patrons, Feragen added, will increase production of coal production in North Dakota by 50 per cent, hike the payroll of Basin Electric to $250,000 and the payroll of the coal industry to over a half million dollars. "Basin Electric is also good business for all business," the speaker stated. "The annual amount of goods sold because of rural electriciation is more than $3 billion a year, and this will increase steadily because the number of homes using electric power will increase from the present one million to about five million in the next five to 10 years. "By the time this plant gets under construction a second plant will be in the planning stage," Feragen continued. "This second plant will be needed to help supply the increasing demand for pow- that, Basin Electric will pay $080,000 annually for transmission facilities used to transport power from the Basin plant planned in North Dakota.

Under the 14-utility proposal such transmission revenue would have been lost. "Thus," Feragen concluded, "in a period of 35 years (the time required to repay the loan plus interest) the $2 million annual savings to the federal government under Basin's proposal will more than double the size of the loan. "You can rest assured that any claims that Basin Electric will be dominated by the federal government are untrue. The primary reason for having such a tremendously large plant is because of the benefits derived from it. "This plant is one of the most important resource developments taken in this area in nearly two decades." Entertainment for the annual picnic was provided by Bruce Benson, Letcher.

Farmers Union President Alvin Hofer presided at the meeting. Among the local officials present were Mayor C. W. Klingaman and Chamber of Commerce President Don Culhane. Don Swanson Is Chairman Oi DW Judge! Drive Don Swanson has accepted the hairmanship of the annual basic budget drive in behalf of Dakota tVesleyan University, it was an- lounced Monday.

Swanson is a partner in Swanon Plumbing Company of Mitchill. A graduate of Wesleyan, he erved as Loyalty Fund Drive Feragen estimated the second large power plant will be needed at least by 1970 or 1971 and possibly even as early as 1968. The Department of Interior turned down an offer from 14 utility companies to "firm up" the river power, the speaker said, "because it was a 'closed shop' kind of deal." The proposal of Basin Electric was accepted by the department because it will mean an annual savings of $2 million more than might have been realized by acceptance of Jhe proposal of the 14 utility companies. Nearly half of the $2 million greater savings from the Basin proposal will result from the fact Mrs. M.

Case Dismissed Against Letcher Youth In Court A charge of "unlawful assembly" against Stanley Fouberg of Letcher was dismissed in Mitchell Municipal Court Friday. States Attorney A. H. Shuster asked the court for dismissal of the case against Fouberg without prejudice. Fouberg's attorney, F.

D. Shandorf however, told the court he felt the case should be dismissed with prejudice. This would prevent the state from recalling Fouberg into the case. Shandorf said tys client was physically examined prior to the start of the Friday court session by one of the complaining witness- ses who, at that time, was unable to identify Fouberg as one of the parties involved in the alleged offense. Municipal Judge Merton B.

Tice ruled that the case against Fouberg be dismissed with prejudice. The'youth's $500 bond was exonerated. A similar charge against Dennis Larson of Letcher was continued until 9 a.m., August 28. The charge against the two youths stemmed from an incident which occurred in May. Larson and three other youths reportedly chased Ronald F.

Randall in a car for two or three miles, following the Mitchell man to the Randall home. The four youths then allegedly tried to provoke a fight with RagdaH and his father, F. D. Randall. J.
