only credit to that paper, but splen
did advertisement of the resources Of

1t is now said that the Grant mills
aud distillery will start up again on
the 18th. This company has been
unfortunate by being burned out at !

fourishing business, and after they |
had got re established at Grant and
were prospecting, the great food OF
1894 practically destroyed their dis
tillery again. 1t has been rebuilt in
better shape than ever. and it is hoped
the enterprising proprietors will find
the third time charm, and meet with
the success they deserve. Geo. Her
bert, of this city. is storekeeper, and
JEFF Cline, of Linn county, guager at
the distillery.
