ISSS-Pay dav at the Browns
Vile Wooden Mills, which inflated the
circulating medium Of this town TO the
amount Of over $500. The mills are
running on fun time, both night and
day, with their regular force Of opera
JiVes. and the report which has ap-
peared in numerous papers tOthe effect
that the mills were to he moved from
Brownsville, is \ piece of information
as surprising to the stockholders n
the general public and rs far rs can be
ascerfained, entirely without founda-
ton. The management Of the mills
are perfectly satisfied with the present
location, the business as financial
success, and furthermore the mills have
not lost a single day this year on ac-
count of insutiiciency Of water power.
The fact that the owners are almost
daily adding new and improved looms
and machinery, are purchasing all
wool brought to the factory for sale,
and have recently cleaned and thor
oughly put in repair the dam and race,
which labor cost considerable time and
money, would not seem TO indicate the
removal of an industry representing
thousands of dollars and requiring
years of shrewd business application
and mechanical management to place
il where il stands Ut the present day
at the head of the manufacturing IL
tcrEStS OF the Pacific coast. The report
Of removal may have grown from ths
fact that Ihas. Kay, superintendent O
the Is. W. N. Co, on = recent visit L
Waterloo. became fayOTably impgpsSe Ct
with the water power 1T that place
and as 81 private speculation purchase
the same. hut has no intention of erect
ing mill ut that or ANY other place.
