THE CAPITAL MILLS.
A Force Putting the Scotch Mills in
Order For the Coming
Crop.

Few are aware of the activity dis
played at the big Capital Touring
mills, better known as the Scotch
mills. Operations are carried on
from the bitches that furnish the
elementary force to the machines
that reduce the great kernels of Ore
gon wheat to the peerless staff OF
life.
AS a reporter approached the mills
he discovered doors and windows
open, men at work with pick and
shovel, mechanics tool chests stand
ing on the floors, weeds cut on the
grounds and general industrial
campaign of which the speedy re-
suits will be thousands of wheels
flying, and the biggest Touring mills
on the North Pacific coast turning
into flour about three thousand
bushels of wheat day or nearly q
million bushels year.
Work is being pushed vigorously
to get the mills in running order
shortly after new wheat begins to
come in.
The big warehouse is 69x65 feet,
six stories high and will hold 200,-
600 bushels. New sills 16x16 are to
be put in under it, the old sills being
partly decayed. House Mover
Hatch has the contract end will be
gin Monday. The flume that takes
the water from the main ditch to
Mill A-the old milI-will have fu
be rebuilt in part. Men are at worl;
now unearthing it and cleaning out
the tail race, where gravel bad filled
in so as to block the water from the
wheel, which furnishes the power
that is transferred by cable to run
the elevators in the big warehouse
The 35-inch Leffell wheel, which
has not stirred since Grant run the
mill about four years ago, was found
badly coated with rust and had to
be overhauled.
In the old "a" mill the feed burrs
only will be run, but the three
double-stand rolls will be taken into
the "B" mill, whence they were
taken, fter that shut down. All
the other machinery will be discon-
nected, and the power will all be
put on the cable to run the ware.

DR.. LANES SUCCESSOR.
important Meeting of the Asylum
Board to Select a Man.


The air about the state house has
been thick with rumors for several
days. No one bearing a commission
has been in authority over the Ore
gon asylum for the insane since
July l, when DR.. Lanes credentials
expired. There has been but one
petition on file, that of DR.. Smith of
Salem, asking the appointment, tho
it was known that the board would
not be confined in its selection to
applicants. Secretary of State Nc
Bride and Treasurer of State Nets
chan held consultation Tuesday
afternoon. AS the republican MEM
bers of the board they will have 10
assume the responsibility of the
selection of a successor to DR.. Harry
Lane. The governor, as the demo
cratic member of the board, Is well
known to be not averse to a change,
If, in fact, he does not imperatively
insist upon it. He politely declines
to be interviewed, but enough could
be learned by reporter to be able to
say that Governor Pennoyer is not a
bit of mugwump, but firm believer
in complete change in manage
ment of state institutions from time
to time, as well as in elective offices.
A SPECIAL MEETING
Of the board was held at Secretary
McBride's private office at 1l:3O this
forenoon TO elect DR.. Lanes success
or. The meeting was held with
closed doors. 1t was given out by a
prominent republican not now in
public life that the republican mem
bers have practically agreed on DR..
Rowland, Of Salem, at one time
superintendent of public instruction
and now president of the State In
surance Co.
DIR. ROWLAND APPOINTED,
At the meeting held this morning
DIR. l.. l.. Rowland was elected
superintendent Of the asylum. As
sooa AS the news got abroad on the
streets there was great satisfaction
expressed among republicans and a
good many democrats at the choice
of the board. DIR. Rowland's elec-
ton was the result of unanimous
choice Of the board.
The selection Of a successor to Mr..
Napoleon Davis will probably not
take place until the board meeting
on Tuesday next, at 2 p. m.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC LINE.
s. A. Carson petitioned the coun-
Gil for charter for an electric rail-
way to be built by Denver and Port
land capitalists along the line men
toned below:
Commencing at state land line on
Asylum Avenue, running west on
Asylum avenue to 14th street, thence
south on 14th street to Court, thence
west on Court to Commercial, thence
south to 1. o. o. f. cemetery, thence
due east to the street on which the
passenger depot is situated, and
thence north to Court street; referred
to committee on streets and public
property.
The resignation of Thomas King,
engineer, and Frank Welch, assist
ant engineer, of Capital Engine Co.
No. were accepted. The recorder
was instructed to cast the ballot for
w. Holman, engineer, and Louis
McClane, assistant engineer, who
were declared elected.
The special committee on adjust
ing the controversy between the two
street car companies on State street
had no formal report prepared and
could not report progress. To cut
the matter short, Alderman Brown
offered the following, which was
adopted:
"That the street commissioner be
ordered to require the two street
railway companies to so arrange
their tracks on State street from
Liberty to Commercial that each
track shall he All equal distance from
the center of the street.-The Capital
City Railway track to cross said
Salem street Railway track at Lib
erty street-then to ran to CONNER
cial street on the south side Of State
street; and the space between the
two railway tracks shall not be less
than five feet; the tracks to be put
on the established grade. In case
the railway companies refuse or
neglect to comply with this order,
within three days, then the street
commissioner shall remove the
tracks at the expense of the two
companies"
NOTES.
The Ferry street sewer is dandy.
Alderman Moores well says there
are sure to be kickers, whatever
style of paving is adopted.
The report of the city engineer on
the Ferry street sewer will not be
used by the Salem board of trade for
Eastern advertising.
The value of property on Com
mercial street has advanced five
times the amount that any pave
ment will cost.-Alderman Moores.
Alderman Moores prefers vitrified
brick to any other for Salem.
Salem needs improved streets, if
ever city did.
The present city engineer can at
least tell what a sewer should look
like.
1t is going to be hard to make the
Court street people believe their
street will be improved by a street
railway.
Does Salem need three parallel
lines of street cars?
The present city engineer is Great
ing the impression that he knows a
sewer when he sees one.
The committee on adjusting the
State street car controversy had mot
much of a report to make" which
was true.
l would like to see vitrified brick
tried.-Alderman LAHORE.

SOME FINE WoRK.-One of the
things that most interests Salem
people just now, and especially those
who are building, is, what is THE
thing in painting? Attention is
called to several jobs which must
needs serve as good pointer for all.
Mr.: r. M. Pinkerton, who has an
office with q. s. McNally, has just
finished TIE new houses built by II
l.. Brophy and Charley Cosper.
The former is finished in natural
wood inside and a choice combine
ton of colors outside. Mr.. Cosper's
is finished the same inside and out
and Charley says it is "a bird" The
Martin home is being done in six
colors outside and natural wood in
side. This will probably be the best
specimen of work done IN Salem this
year. Mr.. Pinkerton has had ex-
perieDce on many fine jobs in this
city aad feels competent to handle

the best possible style. Don't fail to
see his work and get his prices.

visited Fowlerville, village between

swept away by the flames. The post
Office is gone. The town Offices and
several residences. The fire started in
a defective fiue in barber shop. There
is no fire department IN the village and
the only assistance was obtained from
Howell. The total insurance will pro-
badly not amount to $50 900. while the
loss will probably exceed 100000. No
one Was dangerously injured.
