The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-05-20

"nen man solved the QueStion-'doW
did the milk get into the cocoanut?'' may
not have been long ago, but it was in very
ancient time that man became a miller
that is, found out how to get at the inside
of wheat kernel and separate the flour
from the bran. Handmills, with revolving
buhr-stones, were used in early Biblical
times, as appears from the many illusions
to it in Holy Writ AT that time, woman
did the worlds menial work, and the fat
igue of the milling methods was not con-
sidered. In later centuries. and among
European nations, this labor fell on man,
and he soon harnessed the wind and then
the waterfall to do his work AS commerce
grew between nations. milling became
recognized industry, and an indispensably
necessary one. The greatest milling CEN
ter in the United States is Minneapolis,
and no man engaged in milling is more
widely known than Mr.. Chas. A. Pills
bury, the managing head of the largest
flour-milling plant in that city. The opin-
ions of a man so successful in his business
must have weight, even about other things
than milling. At the close of an interview
in the Minneapolis Evening Tribune, Jan.
3Ist last on business matters, Mr. Pills
bury said: Another thing which graft
fed me on returning home, was the mag
nihcent train service on the Burlington
road. I found on the Eastern roads a
class of cars which the Northwest had dis
carded years ago. and found some new
compartment cars on the Burlington
which surpass in elegance anything have
seen in the world" For tickets. MAPS
