IOWA MILLS MUST MOVE.
Effect of the Taylor Bill on Several Lum-
berins Institutions.

BURLINGTON, Ia, April 27.-President
Horace Rand, of the Burlington Lum-
Der Company, states in an interview to-
day that the effect of the passage
of the Wisconsin substitute
to the Taylor bill will unaoubt-
edly enforce the removal of
his mills to the Chippewa Valley. He
takes no stock in MacDonald's alleged
victory over the Eau Claire men, and
thinks that the establishment OF the
proposed sorting works between Chip
pewa Falls and Euu Claire will result
in manipulation that will enforce
the closing OF the mills at Fort Madison,
Burlington, Davenport and Dubuque,
for the want Of logs. The Burling-
ton Lumber Company's mills are
the largest in this city. The
force of the measure will affect
nearly twenty five big sawmills on the
Mississippi River located at Dubuque,
Clinton, Muscatine, Davenport, Rock
