Elm Dale.
Feb. 2S.-Mr. Olson and Gibby HolIen-
beck are busy hauling logs. We do not
house. but no doubt be wants 1T large
enough for two.
We notice in last weeks issue some re-
marks from our Upsala correspondent in
regard to the cheese factory. He admits
that a cheese factory would be a good
thing certain times OF the yexr. We
would like to ask why If it is a good
thing certain times OF the year it is not
all the year. He asks what of the
creamerles-are they not to be patron
lied? We answer that if they can pay
as much for the milk as the cheese
factories they will, no doubt, be patron
lied, but if they can't pay as much then
our farmers can sell to the cheese factory.
What we want is the best market that
can be had for our farmers produce. Il
am not considering the interest Of one
or two individuals, what we want is
either a cheese factory or creamery. or
both. or competing MAJ ufactOries SO
that our farmers can get all their milk is
worth, then our locality will prosper,
our farmers will keep more cows, they
will raise more grain, have the manure
to enrich their farms and have the
ready cash to buy their machinery, etc,
with. We must admit that il we could
get some outside party with capital to
put in cheese factory our farmers
would get all their milk is worth. Your
1ro nf r
men who have cheese factories located
in Illinois aud Wisconsin, that. would be
glad to locate a factory here and pay
cash for milk and take their chances with
the crea meries ii they could receive Sc me
encouragement.
We would like to have every farmer in
this locality call at Hollenbeck &
Wightman's store that would like to see
a cheese factory built in Elm Dale. We
do not ask him to agree to sell milk to a
cheese factory unless they will pay him
more for his milk than the creameries
will, we simply ask you to sell to the
factory that will pay you the best price
for your milk.
Our mill is running steady, the mill
yard is full OF logs and they are still
coming IN. Farmers haul logs a long
distance to get to this mill Mr. Vallett
the owner Of the mill, does extra good
work He is good sawyer, but there is
just one thing he can't do, and that is to
keep up steam.
Mr.. Gunderson is pushing the building
for mis- creamery. He has d large force
OF men at work under the super vision OF
Mr.. Peterson. We are glad to see ou1
city improving so rapidly.
We want hardware store and we are
sure the right man could do we'll.
We also want man to locate here tc
furnish our farmers5machinery it is toe
far for them to go to Little Falls and
Royalton1
There is no doubt but that good
harness maker would have all he could
do here. q
On next Tuesday we have election
