creased to 300 barrels a day. In 1854 the
roller process was introduced, being among
the first In the western country. The
first year Of its existence they shipped
wheat In from Nebraska and Missouri to
operate. It as there was but little wheat In
this country then. When that building and
elesator-the latter being built one year
later-was finished and in operation, 1t

the country for a hundred miles around.

In 1873 the firm was changed to SheIla-

HIS WORDS MAD No CHARM.
GOV. nOGEng SPEECH N Col.rAx
C0LDLY RECEIVED.
rraenAs - the Chief Exeeusfve En-.
Dlaa That HIS AAveeacy of Ex-
Daasten and ODDesisSon q single
Tax Was Fer PoIieieal Eject.

Special Dipatch to the Poss-InseIlisencer
& COLFAx. May N.-The statements
made by Gov. Rogers In mis- speech here on
saturday night, have TO degree aroused
interest in things political among the
democrats and the more conservative OF
the PopuIists. 1t cannot be said that this
newly awakened interest adds any strength
to the governors forces In this county.
Indeed Il Is rather foolish TO make use OF
the term governors forces in speaking
OF politics. politicians or the people in
Whitman county. He has no adherents
here. though a number Of Democrats. Sill
yer Republicans and poeudo-Popuiists have
sufficient respect for him to endeavor TO
explain his ofiicial acts favorably. or. II
they fail In that. to apologize for them.
Even among these his utterances here do
not meet with unqualified approval
In his Saturday night speech he was
understood as stating that he did not
particularly favor the principle OF direct
leg.slasion. was opposed to the single ;ax
theory, and was an expansionist OF tho
extreme type. that he believes the United
States y fulfilling the DEGREES OF manifest
destiny In seizing and holding Puerto Rico.
Guam and the Philippines and In prepar-
ing TO hold and retain Cuba despite the
proteS; of the Cuban revol1,ionists. These
friends OF the Governor admit that II -
very probable that he has departed from
the faith in the matter OF the initiative ana
referendum and the single tax theory, but
are inclined to believe that when he fayors
9 policy OF expansion he Is talking entirely
for political effect.
The Bryan Democracy Of the county 10
almost to q man favorable 10 the further
ance OF any political ambition that may be
entertained by James Hamilton Lewis. As
Lewis II an anti-expansionist II 10 to be ex
pected that the Democratic party OF the
county will declare itse.f as strongly OPP
posed to imperialism. Strange az II may
appear. the majority Of the Popu.ists OF the
county are strong expansonists. there be-
ing apparently az little difference OF cpin-
Ion among them az there is among the Re
pubiicaHs. II IL difficult to see where Gov
Rogers expects TO profit by his change OF
heart so far as this county Is concerned.
He win not gain Populist support. because
he has declared against direct legislation.
and he viii not gain among the Democrats
because he L. opposed to Lewis anti ex-
pansion cry.
