AwTON'S Headquarters. June 29

AWTON'S Headquarters, June 80,
- via Kingston.-The Spaniards
have practically abandoned Caney,
close to Santiago, where they
were believed to have had about
5000 troops. The American
officers generally expect a move
ment today to capture Caney, short
five miles northeast of Santiago.
Such a move may draw the Spaniards
in force from Santiago. but in view of
their previous retreats when our
army might have been seriously har-
rassed on the march, an aggressive
move upon the part of the Spaniards
is considered unlikely.

fabrication.

In a comparison OF creameries dur
ing 1897 the remarkable fact APP
pears that the Kimball creamery is
right up at the top, il not the first in
the state. This is interesting to this
locality, because kimball is in the
same range, (6S), as Miller, in a not
very thickly settled county, affected
by past drouths, etc, her people are
engaged in mixed farming and stock
raising, and all circumstances and
conditions there are about the same
as here. And vet in two short years
a remarkable record is made. With
145 creameries in the state meeting
splendid success, the Press cannot
help but insist that our people are
losing grand opportunity for pro-
gress. This opportunity for Miller
will certainly not last, because neigh
boring towns will take advantage OF
it. Men will sometimes express OPP
position to creameries, based upon
knowledge or observation of years
ago, but conditions have entirely
changed, and in every instance when
persons today carefully investigate
the subject, and obtain correct know
ledge OF the work of the. creameries,
they are instantly convinced that
creameries ia South Dakota are an
excellent industry.

Increased RuSinasS.

The increased business CT 1897, OF
rather the latter part of the year, is
very noticeable whenever actual and
relia BILE figures have been obtained
as presented from time to time by
the PRESS, through the channels OF
trade, such as the banks, poStOifce,
ELEVATORS, depot, etc. Reports from
all these various departments show
healthy growth of Miller's bust.
ness, and amply corroborate all the
predictions made by this paper OF
better times right here.
During the four months of Septem-
Der, October, November and Deem
Der, Miller shipped 40,320 bushels OF
wheat to market, and there was
nearly half that amount in the ele-
vators on Jan. first. Wheat is still
coming in and will as long as the
weather is favorable. These figures
are reaching up quite close to the en-
tire shipment of 1896, and the year
complete would exceed the amount,
with a large increase in price.
During the year just closed, Miller
shipped Ill cars of stock to market,
slight increase over 1896.
A record OF the freight received and
forwarded at the Miller station
shows a remarkable increase. We
give that only of car load lots. A
vast amount OF freight OF course is
handled in parcels, way freight, part
cars, etc, but that isnot included in
this report.

That shows quite a healthy growth,
but of course is no where near the
total of actual business done at this
point. if the parcel shipments and
receipt we're added.

Dear Sir
| noticed the writing that you gave
me in The Pioneer Press, of Miller,
and must say that if the farmers and
patrons were as enthusiastic on the
subject and as willing to organize a
creamery as Mr.. Bushtield is they
would soon have a flourishing cream
cry there. ! doubt ii there is single
reason that you could find against
an organization right there. The
only trouble that we could have
you'd be in not carrying out good
resolution after everything is made
plain. \ Swimming station can be
annexed to the main plant which
would accommodate more and help
all.
| want TO known as near as you
can tell about how many farmers
there are living within radius of 8
miles of Miller and then make an es-
innate on how many cows each man
has. Have they five cows apiece. or
more, on an average? Good cows.
at present, are high priced and are
worth, here, nearly 40 dollars. Are
they cheaper in Dakota?
A good creamery can be built now
cheaper than ever if managed right.
In the first place we have the differ
ent supply houses for putting out
creamery outfits and these parties
can put in their bids on a complete
outfit. An experienced man can then
select what is the best and these
houses will compete with each other
in supplying what is needed. Agood
building can he built at q low figure,
and it really is not expensive. Isaw
a plant started at Elwell, Story Co.,
Iowa, and the entire cost of building
and all was only $17O0. They had
a well and lot furnished to them and
the farmers did the rest, and are run
ming today. They have the latest
and best machinery put out by a re-
sponsible firm. | am confident that
a plant can be put up at Miller for
81, 900 or less, which would not be
expensive and is not low estimate
There are good many old creamer-
les in Iowa today built cost of
81, 900 to $4,000. Get the farmers
organized if you can. If you have
not the time to look this matter up,
give me the address OF some one that
would lead an organizati on success
fully, hope it will be convenient
for you to assist such q movement.
Yours Respectfully,
FRED HEILEAAN.
