The Miles City Feed Mill Starts mp To-Day.
By invitation Of Supt. Ullman, a
JOURNAL reporter yesterday visited
the plant adjoining the electric light
station, where the initiatory steps have
been taken toward the establishment
Of q flour and feed mill. Here We
found the machinery for the latter
branch of the business all In position,
the engine set up, and while We were
there steam was gotten up and the
engine started on q trial trip. The
feed mill machinery consists Of mill
sor grinding corn meal and graham
-four, corn shelter with elevator az
tachment for the delivery Of the
shelled corn into sacks and powerful
corn crusher, a machine that takes In
corn In the ear, and delivers the cob
and grain coarsely ground for feed.
The mill for making corn meal and
graham -four is quite an elaborate
piece Of machinery with a French
burr, and is capable of doing the very
best work in the line for which IL is
adapted. Dave Clelsnd, who has had
several years experience as a foreman
in Minnesota Touring mills. says that
IL will make just as good corn meal or
graham flour as can be made any
where. The corn shelter is another
quite elaborate piece Of machinery of
the latest and most approved pattern,
with an automatic adjustment to all
sizes of ear corn and arranged to work
most expeditiously. The crusher is a
plain piece Of machinery, noticeable
principally for its strength and power,
and the completeness with which II
does Its work. During the forenoon
to-day, the betting will be fitted and
attached TO the three pieces Of ma
chinery and about o'clock this after
noon the first run will be made In the
presence of ali who wish TO be present,
as the invitation extended by Mr..
Ullman is general to all who are inter.
ested In the welfare and progress Of
Miles City.
Now that the feed mill is an accom-.
plished fact, it must not be supposed
that the Touring mill project Is aban-
doned, or in any degree mythical.
This latter is an enterprise that in
wolves the expenditure Of consider
able amount of money and cannot be
entered into without careful consid-
Grafton of the different styles of mil.
ling machinery that are In the market,
q study of plans for the building and
other correlative conditions aud cir
cumstancee. With these elementary
questions in view correspondence has
been had during the past two months
with the leading mill machinery man.
ufacturers and millwrights In the
states and several estimates and plans
have been received, which are now
under examination. When a choice
has been made. the enterprise will be
taken hold Of by energetic and respon-
sible parties and pushed to rapid COM
pletion. While the feed mill machin.
cry has found ample quarters In the
shop formerly occupied by T. Ber-
trand, the flour mill enterprise con
templates the erection Of large and
substantial building withs grain ele.
vator attached, involving the expendi
ture OF several thousand dollars for tn,
buildings alone, but its completion Il
assured and as we have before stated
the parties interested are waiting onl!
to reach decision on plans and pa
chiDery, wheu they will 60 aht.
with q will and erect the first barrie
to the incessant stream Of money tha
goes out from Miles City to other lc
cAlities for the purchase Of the nece'
saries of life. Let It once be demon
strated that we can make our owl
-four and feed here, and an outgo {
one hundred thousand dollars pc
annum is stopped and distribute
among our own people.
