PROFITABLE FLOUR srILLING.
A Minneapolis Mill Builder Talks OF the
Business.

Mr.. w p. Northway, of Minneapolis, is
at the Arlington hotel. Mr.. Northway,
who is in the business of building and
equipping Touring mills, has come to the
West to look over the ground with view
TO doing work here. within the last fif-
teen years" said he last night. s.we have
put in about thirty mills west of the Rocky
mountains. Several are in Oregon, one at
Spokane Falls, which is doing well, and
one at Wilbur.
II see no reason why Touring mill at
Seattle should not be very profitable. The
mill at Spokane is getting rid of its pro-
duct rapidly at good prices. Indeed It
does not have to hold any dour on hand
at all, but is able TO make sales at once.
'eThe mill at Wilbur can hardly supply
the demand. The wheat can be bought
for about SIS a ton, the -four sells for $3.50
or So. IS barrel, and the bran and shorts
bring as high as Sl6 ton. In view of that
fact, suggested that were all the wheat
ground into feed the gain of IS ton
would make the running of the mill fairly
prontable, for such expensive machinery
would not have TO be used. But, of course,
this high price for feed is simply temper
ary.
at seems to me that there Is enough de-
mand for hour in this Sound country to
consume the product of q number of mills"

ANAcogTEs, Dec. 29.-Commencing with
the new year, or as soon thereafter as ar
engagements can be made, very important
changes viii occur in the steamship service
of Puget sound. The steamer Premier
will thereafter make daily trips between
Anacortes and Victoria, and be run in con-
nection with through trains on the North
ern Pacific, whose northwestern terminus
is now Anacortes. The new steamer Citv
of Seattle Will also run from other Sound
ports 10 Anacortes, and the Eliza Ander-
son will run daily between Anacortes and
Vancouver, touching at all the islands en-
route. These changes are made necessary bv
the enormous increase of shipping business
and passenger traffic which has resulted
from the completion OF the Northern Pa
cine system to Anacortes

AFTER A SMALL PENMAS.
Austin Lathrop Finds That His Name
Has Been Stolen.

Mr.. Austin Lathrop, the contractor for
the Anacortes & Fidalgo City motor line,
came to the city last night TO investigate
some alleged forgeries Of his name on
checks presented for payment to the King
County bank, of this city. To PosT- Is
TELLIGEScEg reporter who saw him last
night at the Grand hotel, he said: 'SThe
man who is evidently guilty is Samuel
Bergman, Scandinavian, unmarried, and
about 50 years old. He. came out from
Minnesota to work at tracklaying for the
Great Northern, but as that company was
not ready to begin work, ] gave him en-
ployment.
AT first he worked for me at grading
with three other men, who were his part
ners. have just learned of trick he
played on them. He was to leave the
partnership and go to track-laying, so he
wrote at the top of sheet of paper an or
der for ME to pay him his proportion of
the amount due the four He asked them
to sign the order, but told them to put
their names way down at the bottom of
the sheet. This done, he tore of the or
der at the top, and wrote in another di-
rectsng me TO pay him all the money in
their behalf. This / did. supposing the
order was all right. Thus he swindled
then.
Il lad been paying him sioo month for
tracklaying, when day or two ago I had
a telegram fro the King County bank in
this city asking Inc if | had drawn for
Samuel Bergman check for S64.35. I re-
piled that | had not, for although | have
an account in this King County bank,
pay my men IN checks on Platt's bank at
AnacoFtes.
Il have learned that this check on the
bank here was eaShed at Mt Vernon.
There Bergman was identined by !. French
& Co, contractors there
Mr.. Lathrop also had a letter from Will
lam o. Came, cashier of the King County
bank, saying that another check for $40
had been drawn for Bergman.
Mr.. Lathrop will look into the matter
today. He declared that he had no idea
how many such false checks Bergman had
fioated.
The King County bank did not pay the
checks
