WOODEN MILL IS CROWDED.
The Orders Already Overrun the Pres
emit Capacity.

1--WE have more orders than we can fill, :"
said President George Neal of the Wooden
Mill company today. Orders are coming
in much more rapidly than we expected
and it has thrown US back somewhat We
started one man out on the road and in
tended to start two more. but we will not
do so until we have increased our capac-
ity. We expect to eventually employ 100
hands. We are now operating 10 looms
We have some trouble in securing compe-
tent weavers Mr.. AIcAfeee recently sent
to Missouri for two more weavers. but
they replied that they did not know
whether or not they could use wide looms,
as they had been used to narrow ones.
This week we will start the tailoring
department, in which about 20 women will
be employed. We now have IA sewing
machines which will be used in this de-
partment. and more will be added as they
are needed"
Mr. Neal said that the orders included
everything manufactured in wooden goods
from the finest dress goods to the heaviest
blankets There is every reason to be-
lieve," said he, that the wooden mill
will be a success. Manager McAfee is an
experienced man and he has $4,000 of his
own money in the plant. We are graft
fed at the way things have started. for
we have received orders from many I'M
expected sources. It is not surprising
however. that we should, for the cloth
we make is as good as can be bought in
the best stores in the country

TRAIN POTATOES.
The Dealers of Greeley Skipped a Big
Consi gnment to New York
Yesterday.

Denver, Dec. 2S-Yesterday morning a
trainload of Greeley potatoes left Denver
for New York. There were Is refriger-
atOr cars in the train, which went south.
The potatoes will be shipped from New
Orleans to Gotham.
Greeley potatoes, like Rocky Ford mel
ons and Grand Junction peaches, are
looked on as delicacies in New York and
find ready market. They are billed as
'sars'' on the menu.
1t has been customary to ship a car
load of the tubers east at a time, but this
is said to be the first time a train has
been chartered. The potatoes were or
dered from samples sent east. J. H.
Wolfe, representing the Greeley Mercan>
tile company, the Greeley Potato com>
pany, the Farr Produce company, Mosher
& Parker, and 1. Rothschilds & Co., all
of Greeley, have charge of the consign>
ment, which is valued at $4,000

past year, both by curtailment and by
system of getting the cost of produc-
ton down known only to the Fall River
mill men.
They contend that for the amount
of time they work in the mills their
labor is far more productive than the
labor Of any other operatives, hence
they are entitled to maintain the wage
scale they have set.
They hold further, and it is an i'm
pOrtant argument with them, that the
cost of their living has been materially
increased In the past six or eight
months, and If they are to be reduced
they will hardly earn enough to keep
body and soul together.
There is much bitterness among them
because the reduction is being forced
on them at a time of year when it is
most difficult to resist. Their unions
have a membership of not far from g.,
600 and their available funds amount to
500 600.
They have many outside affiliations,
such as the Federation of Labor, from
which they would expect aid.
They have, too, an important division
existing among the manufacturers and
tending to aid them materially. This
consists of the owners OF the Dur1ee
Iron Works and Seaconnet Mills. They
do not want to have their mills closed
by a labor struggle, and they have
withheld the posting of notices in their
mills until it is seen whether the Oper-
atives will accept the reduction peace
fully put up opposition.
If a strike results from the present
conditions the attitude of the owners of
these mills will be antagOnistic to the
majority of the manufacturers. M Z.
D. Borden has said over his own sig
nature that he will not be bound by the
action of the Fall River Cotton Manu-
facturers' association, and the man
ayers of the two other corporations say
they will not tolerate any action that
will result in shutting down their
plants.
Some elements in the situation favor
the operatives. The weather and time
of the year are against them.

TOBACCO PROFITS LARGE.
Kentucky Farm ers Have Made More
Money Than in Ten Years.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 28.-Kentucky
farmers have made great deal more
money this year than last, mainly through
the great advance in leaf tobacco This
state grows over 50 per cent of the entire
crop of the world, and most of it sold
here. The trade year ended this week
the total sales being 169, 173 hogsheads, the
valuation of which, at an average of SIS,
amounted to about $12, 900, 900.
Last January the average valuation, as
shown by warehouse sales, was only $50
but by June the price had risen so fast
that hogsheads brought an average of
$50 apiece On some of the most cons
mon types the advance is fully 400 per
cent. This was partly caused by a Short
age in the crop and partly by improves
ment in the trade of manufacturers. New
tobacco is now being sold, and though
there is but a half crop, prices are so
high that farmers will get more than for
several.

expedition, is easily the foremost Brit
ish journalist, and it is doubtful even
if any of our hustling American editors
can hold a candle to him. That any
thing lively or enterprising should come
out of London journalism seems incred-
ible, but it is true. Mr.. Harmsworth is
the publisher of the London Daily Mail
and Is other journals and prides him
self that he prints more papers than
any other man living
When Harmsworth was barely out Of
Oxford, he decided to become a Napole-
on of journalism. He straightway start
ed, with no capital to speak of, Answers,
a weekly paper that Immediately caught
the British heart. Before he was %
years old he was printing over a million
papers week. He started more papers,
capitalized his business, sold $500, 900
worth of stock and retained a control
ling interest himself. Then he bought
daily papers in London, Glasgow, Ports
mouth and other places, and finally in
May, 1895, he acquired the London
Daily Mail.
The Mail burst on London like a me-
teor. 1t was full of bright ideas and
Weakened people up in a manner that
startled but pleased them. As a result
the paper distanced all its competitors,
and the total output of Mr.. Harms
worth S various publications is said to
be something over 100000 copies a
week.
Mr.. Harmsworth' s gift to Peary is
only a fresh evidence of his interest in
the field of exploration. Three years
ago he sent Frederick jackson in search
of the north pole on what was called
