A SERIOUS state of affairs is re-
ported to exist in Juneau and Sit
ka, Alaska. Prospective miners,
waiting for a chance to get up to
the gold fields, are swarming in
these places, many in destitute
circumstances. Their hardships
have only commenced. The gold
fields of Alaska are very uncertain,
and many a man after en-
during privation for long weary
months will be obliged to return
to his friends with a small show
ing for his %protracted absence.
To a young man the experience
may prove more or less val liable;
and, of course, he stands a chance,
the same as anyone, of making a
snug sum. 1t is only a chance"
The average miner, by close appli.
cation and economical manage
ment, may reasonably expect to
make just fair wages, and seldom
more than he could have earned
at home.

The institute at Taylor Saturday
afternoon was fairly attended, not.
w%ithstanding the fact that it was a
busy time for every one that had
seeding to do.
President Tracey called to order,
T. S. Underhill acting as secretary.
G. $. Cryne took up the subject of
"Bntter and Milk" giving a very in.
structive talk. Mr.. Cryne finds no
difficulty in making a good product.

20 cents. His prints are put up in

He advised the separation of milk
within a very short time after being
taken from the cows. MI. Laughlin
corroborated this idea. Speaking of
the wild onion taste in butter, Mr..

this direction as his land was contin.

grasses could be raised, but us.

lin said that he could remember
when they could not successfully
grow tame grasses IN Wisconsin.
He had tried timothy and clover on
his Red river farm and it had done
fairly well. His experience was
that grasses could be best started

New Factory-1s0

The entire first floor of the mill is de-
voted to weaving machinery. 1t again
reminds n Of magic to see the shut
ties moving back and forth at the rate
of 500 feet per minute, the different
colored threads dropping into their
proper places in the patterns, and the
automatic and complicated mechanism
of the looms. At this point the report
Ell was introduced to the genial, gray
headed Scotchman who has charge of
the works, and had some of the inter-
esting mechanism of n fancy loom *
planned by one of the best mechanics
in the country.
A trip to the basement was taken to
follow the cloth in it's course through
the numerous strange machines re-
quired to give the finished product its
softness and finish; followed by a
peep into the dye-house, where great
steaming watts OF different colors are
always in use.
The top floor of the is used for
storage of the thousands of sacks of
wool, which come from nearly every
p~ostof1ice in the Northwest. In one
part of this floor is the space reserved
where the company's important line
of underwear and shirts is made up.
The company makes its principal bus
mess wool exchange and custom work
direct with it's consumers, and receives
annually shipments Of wool from thous-
ands Of farmers and sheep-owners in
the Northwest, who send their wool to
the mills to be exchanged or made up.
Almost everything in wooden goods is
made at the Grand Forks Wooden
Mills, including yarns, flanuels, blank

skirts, head and shoulder-shawls, I'M
derwear, shirts, mackinaw Jackets,
etc. Another speciality which the COM
pany has successfully developed is the
making up of tailor-made suits, and
during the season a large force Of tail.
ors IS employed on this work.
Not only Grand Forks, but the state
and the Northwest, may well feel proud

The above is an Illustration of the
building in which the company COM
menced operations in 1897. AS the rep
utation of the mandatory grew and
the company's business extended, add
itiOns We're made to the original build
ing. machines were crowded into
places where machinery was never
meant to run, until. in 1895, the limit
of extension possible in this building
was reached.
The new mill, known rs the 'Finest
Mill in the West" is of brick and
stone throughout, built in the most
substantial manner and approved form
of mill construction, and filled, from
cellar to roof. with the finest and most
modern machinery known to the art Of
wooden manufacture.
One who has never seen manufacture
ing of this kind done on a large scale
will remember an hour spent IN the
Grand Forks Wooden Mills as n Of
the most interesting in his experience,
rs does the representative of this pa
per, who recently had the pleasure Of
q visit to this mill.
The first apparatus he is shown con-
sists of a huge iron bowl or tank some
thirty feet long, weighing, perhaps,
$1,000 pounds, called q WOol-WaSher.
In this great tank is prepared the
chemical solution which removes the
grease and impurities from the wool.
A series of brass rakes automatically
push the wool through the tank at the
rate of 5000 pounds per day. The
wool is then put through the picker,
an iron cylinder armed with heavy
teeth and revolving about 1000 rcvolu-
lions per minute. This 'picks," or
tears the wool apart so that it floats
away from the end of the machine
almost 'as light as air."
floor, the wool now passes through the
cred with millions of wire teeth and
inders the wool is passed from Il to
another, and drawn off at the end i'll
loose ropes, or "roving," as it is called,
from each successive machine finer
than before, until it is reduced to the
point where it is ready to spin into
yarn. Words cannot easily describe
the dclicacy and intricacy of this ma
chinery, and it is to be hoped no reader
of this paper will fail to take advant-
age of the opportunity whenever in
Grand Forks, to personally visit the
Wooden Mills.
1t is most interesting to see the big,
automatic spinning mules, each spin
ming hundreds of threads, travelling
back and forth over the iron track, as
If by magic. An ordinary days work
for the spinning machinery Of this mill
is about 100000 yards Of yarn. 1t
would require 1000 women, working
by hand in the old-fashioned way, to
keep up with the carding and spinning
machinery on this floor.
