The New MIL.

Next week I. ID. Davidson will he in
the market for the purchase of wheat
and other grams; and will have in oper- .
alton the best feed mill in the northwest. |
The mill will have capacity of 100 bu-
shells an hour, and he will grind to order,
and also for market. The elevator,
with a capacity of 10000 bushels of
wheat, and several thousand bushels of
other grains is practica lily completed.
The Touring mill will be completed and
commence business about the 18th of
December, and Sank Centre will then
have, under the terms of the guarantee,
mill of 200 barrels capacity equal to
the best in the United States of like
capacity both as to quality of product
and economy of operation. The mill
has been furnished from top to bottom
with all the latest appliances-and the
system of milling has been revolutionized
within the past decade-furnished by the
largest concern in that business in the
world, the E. P. Allis Company of Mil
waukee. The building is of solid brick,
three stories above high and service
able basement, with a top-lott, making
five floors in all. On the grinding floor
are twelve sets of rollers for gradual e.
duction, securing results unattainable in
the old mill. The purifying, cleaning and
boiling machines are on the second and
third floors, together with the packers,
bran and -four bins, and every other
necessary appliance for complete mill,
None but the very best machines haye
been purchased, and while cheaper ones
could have been furnished, yet Mr..
Davidson is convinced that the best is
the most economical in the long run.
The mill is heated by steam and ligh ed
by electricity-about hundred incan-
descent lamps being so disposed about
the mill as to make it as bright by night
as by day. A large stand pipe and
abundant hose on every floor has been
provided for fire protection.
A ffty.six inch Effel water wheel has
been placed in the fume. W hich will gen.
crate 100 horse power under ten-foot
head of water-the usual supply.
Mr.. Davidson has also as fine an cleo
trio plant, both incandescent and arc, as
can be found anywhere. He is Row
supplying IT'S incandescent and twenty
arc lights. He uses the Royal alternat-
ing system for incandescents and the
United States for arcs, and he is giving
his patrons excellent service. The adj
vantage OF the alternating current is its
absolute safety both as against fire and
personal contact. Mr.. Davidson will re-
tain the services of John McGibbon and
]. L. Working as millers, while Harry
Favell will, as heretofore, do the office
work. The electric plant will in charge
of E. A. Newell, who has been at workI
putting up the line for several weeks,
and the engine, which has been rebuilt
and handsomely refn1shed. will be in
charge OF Jesse J. Newell.
The entire plant, including mill, eleva-
tor and electric plant represents consid-
erably more than fifty thousand dollars
of value, and the city is to be congratu-
lated upon having citizen of enterprise
and capital who has both the will and
the ability to contribute so much to
the material prosperity of Sank Centre.
Dairymen. stockmen, livery-stable men
and horse-car men unite in saying that
no such horse and cattle liniment as Sal
walton Oil has eyer been pnt upon the
market. 1t should be kept at every
stable and stock yard in the land. rs
