Sights Seen in sanpete.

One of the most delightful views of San
pete county was witnessed yesterday by
your correspondent, who took a"fying
trip" into the mountains, returning the
same day. Ascending the hill for a few
hundred feet, one turns to view the land
cape of the surrounding country, which lies
spread out before him like large che c'ser-
board. Hundreds of acres of waving fields
of grain is now gathered into the sheaf,
ready for hauling home, while nestled at
5hl rt distance from the base of the noun
tains, and almost buried in the green foil
age Of the fertile valleys, we get glimpse
of the several thriving towns Of the county,
Fairview, Mt Pleasant, Ephraim and
M mt on the eastern side of the valley,
each one with its large fields lying adjacent
to the town. On the western side we see
Ches ter Wales, Moroni, Fountain Green,
towns OF minor Importance, but neverthe-
less moving forward on the plane OF pro-
gresS.
The lin, ii mountain streams are filed
with specified trout affordiug the angler
an opportunity to try his skill in that di-
rec Ion. A iaunt of a few miles further
bring US to the steam saw mills, all located
in the same cai1on The timber is filled
with busy choppers, e; CD trying to QUITO
the others. 1t is estimated that these mills
will produce about two million.feet OF lum
Der this summer.
Your reporter called on Mr.. j. T. Fechser,
who has charge of the Mt Pleasant roller
mills. and in answer to his questions re-
ceived the following statement from that
genial gentleman: ''TheSmill as organized
with stock company and has cash CAPT
tai of about s., Coz, and although the mill
itself has been moved three times, yet each
time it has been refitted, and at its last re-
moval, and which will be its permanent To-
cation, it was built with the latest improved
machinery, roller process throughout. The
company has just completed new tunnel
and put in a new turbine wheel at cost of
| So coo. In the course of week we shall be
in running order and prepared to turn out
first class flour. We have a capacity of
| fifty barrels per day. and cons Imed about
| thirty-fOur thousand bushels of wheat last
year. To give you some idea of our trade, y
| said Mr.. Fechser. with degree of pride,
I'VE are now shipping our flour to Salt
Lake, Provo, Payson, Nephi, Deseret and
also to Emery county. Our trade is con
stantly increasing, and we find 1T very diff
ficult to keep up with our orders. We have
testimonials from our patrons to the effect
that our flour is among the best put upon the
market. If we say our flour is straight
grade, it will be an honest straight grade
no mixtures of other grades. This is the
secret of our success, because of our relia
bility and honestly Thanking Mr.. Fechsel
for his courtesy, we bade him good-day and
rleft On our hunt for other quarters.
