The Interstate Milling Co. Will
Build a 6OO-Barrel
Mill Here.
The Old Site of the Roller Mill
Purchased-AL Lease OF
Power Made.
The New Mill to Be Ready
for the Crop Of
1896.

Cawley & Hyde. M the Interstate
Milling company, will at once build
another -four mill at Little Falls,
that will have a capacity of 500
barrels per day.
They have purchased the site of
the Little Falls Roller mill, destroyed
by fire in 1891, and will erect the new
building upon it. The foundation
il 4OxS0 feet in size, and Il solid
brick building four stories high will
be built upon it. The new building
will he hut u short dlstanc north of
the mill they now operate, and for
while the elevator capacity OF the
present mill will be used for both
mills. The new building will he
almost entirely occupied by flour
making machinery. The necessary
amount of wheat cleaning machinery
will be put in the eastern end of the
mill. The officers of the firm will.
for time, remain in their present
quarters in the old mill.
The Interstate company have
purchased a large part Of the ma
terial for the building, and will soon
buy the balance. The Pine Tree
mills will saw out the heavy timber
for the structure as soon as their
mills start this spring, and the brick
will be from the Little Falls yards.
About 50O,O 900 bricks will be required
for the mill. Work on thebuildiDg
will begin in a few weeks, but it is
not yet decided how much CT it will
be let by contract, and how much
done by men employed directly by
the company.
The machinery has not yet been
purchased, but bids have heefl Oh
tanned from the leading -four mill ma
chinery people Of the country. The
equipment will be the best the
market affords, and the machinery
will be second to nOnein the country.
GOOD FOR LITTLE FALLS.
The construction of the second mill
in Little Falls by this company will
give them Il capacity here of nearly
100 barrels of flour per day-the
present mill turning out about 500.
This company has been operating
mills at Glendale, N. D., Red Lake
Falls, in the northwestern part of
the state, and at Royalron, but in
view of their plans for increased
capacity here they will central
ize. their operations more in this
city. AS step in this direc-
tion Mr.. Caw,ey made a trip to
Crookston this week, and there made
q sale OF the Red Lake Falls mill to
Fred A. Gooding, of Duluth. They
will probably continue operating the
Glendale mill, as it is favorably
located for a large local trade, and

VNExcELIED ADVANTAGES
The decisiun ot the Interstate
Milling company to enlarge their
facilities at Little Falls. aud
gradually decrease them elsewhere,
iemon-trat tes that in the opinion of
succ1 c1ssful -four mill men this city HIS
es pecial' advantages for their bust.
ness. They have tried other local
tiles, and this city Is their choice OF
locations. Cawl~y & Hyde first took
charge of the local mill in 1893, and
since then have continually done a
profitable business. They have built
up a good demand for their product,
and have Leen at all times able to
enter the home or export market
against all competition, and manu-
facture and sell profitabIy at all
times. Here there is Il large supply
of local wheat, and the mill is on the
route that the hard wheat Of the
West takes to reach the Great Lakes.
With the milling-in-transit privilege
they can profitably use all the west
ern wheat necessary, and have the
best supply in the world at their
command. They can thus receive
and ship wheat and -four on equal
advantages with any mills. Having
a supply of grain and shipping ia
cilities leaves only one more necessity
and that is cheap power. And in
that particular they occupy an un-
rivaled position. No mills in the
country have a more reliable, cheap
and satisfactory power. With aH'-
pie water pc wer 1T exceedingly low
rates. this important element Of cost
is reduced to the minimum, and they
are at all times enabled to- make q =
a barrel of flour far below the cost
of the work Of their competitors.
The above advantages, with good
business management has enabled
tho Little Falls mill to continually
succeed, and the Increased capacity
will bring greater success and pros
perity to the owners as well as to
the general community.
SUCCESSFUL AND ENrERPR1slNG.
F. E. Cawley and G. E. Hyde, the
members of the Interstate Milling
company, are valuable members Of
any business community, and their
thorough understanding Of the busi-
ness they are engaged in has made
their past success possible, and in
sures their future prosperity. Both
men are active in all public move
ments for the advancement Of the
city, and possess and deserve the
good will Of the community.
