els of wheat per week. Orders from Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Illinois and Colorado are pouring
In on them faster than can be filed. They
are employing twelve hands In the mill and
three In the elevator-15 In all. Their expert
ment Of using barrels to ship In is proving a
great success and much of the flour is shipped
in that way. We learn that they will soon
have an agent selling in New York and the
New England states. They propose to keep
the mill "red hot" from this time on.

the stream, he came near losing his team, and
all. As it was, he lost the newspaper mail

We regret that circumstances made it an OBJ

and also that we are to lose Mr.. HOltzshuh
from our city. We hope their business In
new their location will be all they anticipate.
Last Friday afternoon number OF the BUSH
