A proposition has been made TO some
of our capitalists to move n large
wooden factory here from the East, the
nIant being valued at $4,000.
A loan of s., 900 to the owner has been
raised in cash to cover cost of removal,
ground secured for site, Il water sup
DIV guaranteed for use in 1t and the
securing factory, with the assurance
of all the wool they can use. 80 then,
we are going to have this wooden mill
at work here this spring. The party
has been notified of the acceptance
and compliance with his proposition.
There is no doubt of the action in the
premises. This Is another strong ar
gument for the construction of the
road mentioned. n wooden MIL here
will necessarily draw the wool from
this entire section of the state. Stor-
age room will be erected, and capital
supp lied to handle the clip. Large
sums of money will be paid to opera
tives, for wool and other expenses Ia
be circulated in our midst.
When people are always prompt
and liberal enough to take hold otsucl
enterprises, it Is not surprising tina
