the business men of Evart visited
Farwell, for the purpose Of exam

Messing the process of manufac.
ture. On their arrival at Farwell
they found that 10y reason Of the
CRATES in the furnace having been
melted, the factory was not in
running order, SO the delegation
were forced to be content with
simply viewing tho apparatus and
listepiny To MI explanation by tie
manager Of the process OF mahu-
tacturc. The factory can turn out
fifteen barrels per day. There is
