TO USE LESS WATER.
The Jackson Milling Co. Making Improve
mentS That Will Give the Same
Power but Use Less Water,


The Jackson Milling Co. is making a
number of improvements on It's prop
erty, at the foot of Mill street. The
head race is being lowered about three
feet at the mouth. Heretofore, during
the winter when there was two feet of
ice there was about one foot in depth of
water running to the wheel. They have
taken out three 35-inch turbine wheels
and one A inch wheel. These will
be replaced by one 61-inch turbine
wheel, which is expected to give the
same power but use considerably less
water. Then the tail race will be deep
ened, about two feet it is thought. If
this is accomplished it will have the
effect of adding two feet to the head of
water. A new floor has been put in the
fume and in other ways the water
course has been improved Consider
able blasting has been found necessary
in lowering the races as they were down
to the rock previously.
In the mill thorough overhauling is
in progress. New boiling cloths are
being put on throughout, new rolls put
in, new spouting in many places. and
the general repairing necessary after
years work.
Work was begun on the tail race
today. B. L. Vaughan put the big
wheel in place.-Stevens Point Gazette.

since the Dingley tariff went into
effect. There is no reason why there
should be unless it is that the greater

caused a slight rise in the rate of
wages. Under the Dingley tariff
cloth is being spun and made into
