CAPITOL MILLS.
The Five Story North Salem Flour
Ing Mills Soon to Resume
Operations.

1t is fact generally known now
that the Capitol Touring mills have
Oeen sold, or In other words, bought
and that the new owners will start
them up again In few weeks or at
most a few months. A JOURNAL
reporter was at the mills yesterday
afternoon and took q look at the
old dead institution that Is soon to
be the scene of activity. There is
nothing being done there yet In the
way OF starting up. A head man OF
the new owners was up at the mills
most all last week and made esti-
mate of the new material that would
be required in starting them. He
then went back to Portland. This
man said that the work would be
begun next week in getting every
thing In readiness to start the wheel
to turning as soon as the river is at
boating stage for the river crafts
to supply the mills with sufficient
grain. The first work that will be
done will be on the dam to the
ditch.
These are among the largest mills
in Oregon, the Albina mills probabl,
being the only ones with q larger
capacity. There are five sets OF
burrs and twenty-one sets Of roller
besides the rollers for making
graham -four. The large brick
building for these mills was erected
in 1852, and since then has been
idle more than half the time, owing
to the litigations of the Scotch COM
pany. Reid came out from Scotland
and the mills were started up in the
new building in the latter part OF
1882 or early in 1888, and he man
aged the mills for two years, then o
man named Simpson was sent out,
and he operated them less than q
year and in 1885 they were shut
down, and now for five years have
been doing nothing. The old mills
in the wooden building just
north of the brick were not used
after the new building was erected,
except as a warehouse, until MIR.
Grant took charge of it year or 81
ago and run that part of the mills
for about a year.
The machinery in the mills is in
prime condition. When they were
shut down, all the machery was well
tallowed. and the boiling cloths were
taken off the reel. and laid away,
yet it will take some time to get
eve rything in shape to start the
mills to grinding. The buildings are
large, and everything must be thor
oughly cleaned up and the dust aud
cobwebs must all be swept out, but
by the time the boats can land the
grain there, they are expected to be
ready to use 1t. These mills lying
idle has been great drawback tC
Salem For some time after they
were shut down, to sell them wa.
impossible, on account OF the pend
ing litigation; and no other com
pany could lease them nor was il
considered u safe investment to builC
with such excellent property which
might b. set to working at any mo
nient. Strangers who come here
and were not acquainted with the
situation, would naturally consider
that the city could not maintain two
large mills. This, of course, was moi
a fact. Those mills were doing &
good business while they were ope'
rated. The people are glad to set
them start up again. They will give
q new activity to North Salem thai
will greatly aid in building up thai
part of the city.

Feeding Horses.

The following by Prof. j. W. San
born in Breeders Gazette is worthy of
careful and thoughtful reading by
everyone having the care of horse:
The sole purpose for which horses
are kept is for the production of force
and work. This sets the horse apart
from other domestic animals in special
features Of feeding and care. His ra-
ito of stomach to body and intestines is
also unique, and calls again for special
consideration. His stomach holds only
some 81 gallons, while his intestines
are very large. The horse, however,
seems to be specialized for the peculiar
purpose of speed.
The horse sells for some Is cents a
pound while the steer sells for but 9 or
8 cents. Is the difference one OF food
cost--that is, does the horse require in
food for 1000 pounds of growth an
amount in ratio to the difference in cost
more than does the steerp He GER
tainly does not, although he costs some
more, and unless there is great differ
ence in other directions is much more
valuable market for food than the steer
German experiments have shown that
of very coarse foods the horse digests
somewhat less than the steer, but this
difference seems to be confined to coarse
foods,

Keep Your Word.

A story is told of q gentleman who
visited President Lincoln, and who was
in the habit of making promises more
freely than he kept them. In order to
induce Mr. Lincoln's boys to sit on his
lap, the gentleman offered to give him
q charm which he wore on his watch
chain. The boy climbed into his lap.
Finally. the gentleman arose to go.
when Mr.. Lincoln said to him: ''Are
you going to keep your promise to my
boy?' What promise?" said the
visitor. You said you would give
him that charm" "Oh, l could not, ="
said the visitor. ut is not only valu-
able. but l prize it as an heirloom"
Give it to him." said Mr.. Lincoln
sternly. II would not want him to
know that entertained one who had no
regard for his word" The gentleman
colorcd, undid the charm and handed
it to the boy, and went away with Il
lesson he was not likely soon to forget.
and which others may profit by
learning. Be slow to promise, but
never fail to perform promise which
you have made.

mirth the door opened and the young
Kaiser entered. He smiled to see

The island that every boy has read
about in the story of Robinson Crusoe
is not myth but a reality. just be-
fore reaching the city of Valparaiso on
the western coast of South America,
this beautiful spot may be visited to-
day. An excursion occasionally stops
at the place and no one ever goes to
Juan Fernandez without bringing away
relics. The island was discovered in
1868 by Juan Fernandez and named
after him. 1t was a favorite stopping
place for vessels in the South Seas;
the place abounded in fruits, flesh for
food. goats and rabbits there was
plenty of excellent water, and the
rocky coast was covered with Holsters,
shrimps and craw-fish. In 1904 Il
ScOtchman on board the snip 'Cinque
Ports" refused to obey his authorities
and he had his choice between being
hanged and put on shore on the lonely
island at Juan Fernandez. He chose
the latter and was set ashore. After
Il few days he found to his surprise an
Indian on the island, who had been
there some years. This Scotchman
we know as Robinson Crusoe. and the
Indian as his man Friday. After four
years of isolated life, these two men
were rescued by an English merchant
ship, and taken to Southampton. where
the Scotchman told his story to Daniel
Defoe and thus originated the charm
ing story that every boy delights to
read. The island is accurately de-
scribed in the story and Robinson
Crusoe's caves and huts are still to be
seen, as great care has been taken tC
! preserve the relics of the Scotch.
mans stay upon the island. There
are at the present day thirty thousand
head of horned cattle and as many
sheep grazing upon the hills. There
are fifty or sixty ranchmen and theil
families. who tend the herds and raise
vegetables for the Valparaiso markets
