THE FIGURING MILL.

There seems to he no longer any
doubt hut Lewistown and Fergus
county will have "a iirst-class Touring
mill before winter sets in. Some little
nesot iation over the purchase OF "a
mill site is all that is required to
guarantee the project. The manner
in which our citizens have taken hold
of this enterprise and pushed it along
is worthy of the highest commen,la-
tion. There is nothing like organiza-
tion and concent ration for the accom-
plishment of great results in public
affairs.
