MORE MILL TALK.

We agree with our friend, DIR. E. p.
Miller, that this city is greatly in need
of Touring mill; but we do not think
that the people should be asked to do
nate one dollar in the shape of bonus
to some man to build one. The city of
fers to donate site and furnish the
power, free of charge, for FIVE years.
Any individual or firm that would de-
mand a greater subsidy than this would
probably make failure and leave us
without mill and without our subscrlp-
ton or bonus when the money donated
had been expended.
1t is getting so. of late, that private
enterprises expect public aid in the
shape of bonuses, and if the practice
grows. it will be in order for a merchant
or tradeSman to refuse to engage in
business in town or community until
the inhabitants have raised an encour-
agement fund for him. The principle
is all wrong. 1t encourages schemers
and adventures, makes profitable en-
terprIses appear as doubtful, and caus-
es an industrious class to imagine
themselves as dependent on donations
from the public. A stock company
might be organized to build and operate
mill; but this arrangement would not
be eventually as satisfactory as for one
or two energetic individuals to build
the mill and operate it. Stock COM
panies are not popular here and it is
doubtful if one could be formed, though
we believe that there are citizens here
who would furnish part of the necessa-
ry capital to erect firstclass mill.
Every citizen interested in the pros
perity Of this city and surrounding
country should make it a point to adyer-
tise the magnificent opening here for
Touring mill by sending copies of the
home papers and writing letters to
friends back east who would likely be-
come interested in the enterprise.
