WOULD BECOME MILLERS.
The Farmers Alliance Takes Steps
toward Starting Mill at
r1apletOn.

The meeting of the Farmers ALI
ance at Mapleton Saturday was at
tended by 10 to so farmers, and was
the most important meeting nelo
since last summer. The meeting was
held at Sprague's Hall commencing at
200 D. m. and was devoted to discus
sion OF the feasibility of building and
operating a flour mill at Mapleton.
NJ. NJ. Pratt called the meeting tC
order. and a few remarks were made
in regard to locating a tow mill at
Mapleton, but nothing definite was
determined upon.
Then the question Of flour mill
was taken up and John DreWs was
called on. Mr.. Drews claimed that
when wheat is AZ cents per bushel
flour ought to be less than Sl.3o a
sack. and that if it was business for
the miller TO buy wheat at 4S cents
and sell flour at $l.3 it would not be
an unbusinesSlike act for the farmer
to sell his wheat in the shape of flour
at $l.35 per sack.
Z. NJ. Currier endorsed the Senti-
ments of Mr.. DrewS and suggested
that the farmers ought to take into
consideration the fact that the rail
roads discriminate against private in
dividuals in favor Of corporations. He
also suggested two plans for running
the mill, first by corporation; sec
ond cooperative.
Peter McGrath said that the miller,
instead of taking one-tifth toll, takes
one-fourth, and claimed that all other
dealings are done on the same princi-
pie. He suggested the difference be-
tween one-fourth and one-tifth toll
taken on wheat milled in this vicinity
would pay for mill in year.
G. G. Spaulding was then called for.
He said that he did not have any
thing to say about a mill, but would
like to inform the gentlemen that
the railroads do not discriminate in
favor Of large corporations.
Joseph Sprague said that he wanted
to buy his bran and shorts as cheap in
Mapleton as it is being sold in Chica-
go and not pay enough to make up
the freight both ways.
MIR. Pratt suggested that an express
sion be taken to ascertain how many
farmers were in favor of building the
mill and how many were opposed.
Fifteen hands were shown in favor
and none opposed, - or so farmers be.
ing present.
A motion was made and carried
that the chair appoint committee to
investiga tie the mill business, make
bylaws and solicit stock. John
Drews, T. NJ. Currier, w. G. Arget-
singer, John Morrow, j. w. Sprague
and r. L. Potter were appointed such
committee.
The next meeting will be held be-
tween the 1st and 10th of May.
