claim deed to John Shorb. The mill, /
think, was built in 1882 and John Shorb
sold to the Farmers union in 1858, and
in 1860 the Farmers union failed. In
1861 the property was sold to Reuben
Sellers. In 1868 w. Bucher & Com
pany bought said property and held 1t
until 1865, when 1t was sold to Alfred
s. Huntington and James II. Ball. Very
soon thereafter Huntington and Ball
sold to A. c. Tonner, and then again
A. c. Tonner sold to A. s. Huntington
and Robert Kubns, and Kuhns in turn
sold to Morgan G. Huntington in 1868.
Then the mill was run for awhile under
the firm name of Huntington Bros, and
they, In 1876, failed and assigned to
Julius Whiting and in 1880 sold to
Upton Rank and Henry Corl. Rank
sold to John F. Blake half interest
in 1882. In 1888 Henry Corl sold his
half interest to John +. Blake, so that
he became sole owner in that year. In
1899 John F. Blake sold to the present
owner, Jacob N. Shaub, who Is running
the mill quite successfully.
When the mill was first built by
John Shorb it was little higher than
now and a much sleeper roof. In 1865,
think, fire destroyed the upper part
of the mill, so that the top story had
to be rebuilt, but in doing so the roof
was not run quite as high as at first.
Our picture shows the mill as 1t now
stands. The inside machinery is all
new and of modern construction.
The OLD style process of making
flour, used when the mill was frst
built, has been given up all over the
country. Very few mills in the coun-
try have passed through the changes

fifteen years ago the mill was sold

LIFE IN PORTO RICO.
Rev. Ort, q Former Cantonia n ,
Tells Of tho Condition OF
People Of tho Island.

Rev. u. l.. Ort, a former resident
of Canton, but who has for the past
two years lived in Porto Rico, spoke
at the Y. M. G. A. parlors Sunday af-
ternoon. There were q large number
of people present at the meeting. Mr..
Ort spoke mainly of the condition of
the people at this time, and what was
needed in bettering the conditions of
Porto Rico as whole. He spoke as
follows:
The people of Porto Rico are d.
vided into three classes, namely, the
lower class, middle class and the
higher class or the aristocracy. The
people of the lower class are in a
pitiable condition and make their liv-
ing by begging. 1t is very common to
have from 20 to 40 beggars call at
your home in one day.. When a man
has child that is deformed in any
manner, he usually carries 1t about
thinking that he can solicit aims more
easily. In the lower classes the burden
of the family lies on the wife, who
virtually is a slave. The men do not
support their families but spend all
of the money they beg, in gambling
and for liquor.
The men and women of the middle
class are as q rule very Industrious.
The hope of the missionaries to con.
vert the Porto Ricans lies In the peo-
pie of this class. They are very 20
lite and courteous, but only three per
cent of them can read and write.
The people of the upper class have
several peculiar ways. Each child has
a servant and the children are always
accompanied by chaporon when they
go away from home. These people
lack the same thing that the middle
class does, education. The young 10
dies are very fond Of dressing an(
their only desire is to be handsome.
. The children OF the lower class arr
despised outcasts, and are In pitla
BILE condition. The condition OF tn,
people in the middle class is mucl
better. The little children when the.
, are sick are not cared for and whel
they die are buried without ceremony
} ! remember of being ciIled to tn
bedside of a child who was dying.
particularly noticed the child's mothe
; who seemed uneoncerned that ono 0
her children was about TO be takel
away from her.
Mr. Ort closed with an appeal +
the people that they should give freel
TO missionaries that this horrible con
dition Of affairs might be remedied.
Al He also praised the work Of tn
{ American schools which are being rel
Idly established n The island.

A SYRIAN SPEAKS.
Tells Of the Customs OF His
PeopIe--DeserIbes His
toric Places.

Rev. David, the Syrian missionary.
who was born and reared near the
base of the Mount Of TRANSPORTATION,
spoke at the German Evangelical
church on East Fourth street, Sunday
evening Mr.. David spoke OF the GUS
toms Of his people. He described the
river Jordan, the city Of Damascus
Lake Galilee and other places that are
mentioned in the Bible. when cou-
pie are married in our native country" !"
said he, "the festivities last for seven
days from Monday to Sunday"
Mr.. David stated that the mission
aries were doing great work in his
country. The first man that was con.
yerted to the Christian religion was
burned to death, but In seven years
after this occurrence three-fourths OF
the inhabitants of his own city were
converted. Mr.. David closed with q
strong appeal for more missionaries
to work in his country, and said that
with little work and money the entire
country may be converted.
Mr.. David will soon return to his ma
tive country and will engage In mis-
sionary work.

a man by the name OF Koch. who
lived on west Tuscarawns street,
where the Madison Reynolds house
stands. was a millwright by trade, and
put in the machinery for the mills
referred to. Nothing was known OF
roller mills in those days. All the
mills run were the old style hopper
mills.
Many other mills could be referred
to as "Old Land Marks" but l think
the age and size of the three named
are among the oldest and largest In
the county.
Quite a number of changes of the
owners and millers, in the High milf'

built, but am not familiar with said
changes and therefore will not attempt
to describe them. But Of the three
large mills spoken of. the High m'lf'
has withstood fire and other changes
more than either of the other two
mills. In fact 1t has about the out
side appearance today that 1t had
when first built, almost seventy years
ago, except such changes as time
would make on the material of which
it was built. 1t certainly can justly
be put down as an "Old Land Mark"

In the early settlement Of Canton
and Stark county quite number OF
Touring mills were put up, many OF
which have long since been given up.
Among the large mills erected from
1880 to 1888 were the Shorb mill In
Canton, the Slanker mill about 10 miles
northwest from Canton. on the Fulton
road, commonly known as the High
MILL" and the Goodwill mill at North
Industry. These three were all erected
within the time above stated. The
first was brick structure and the 9TH
er two frame.
The Shorb mill was built by John
Shorb, who at that time kept store on
the lot where d. collars & Son have
their store, and where the Savings De-
posit bank Is located, on the west side
of South Market square. The two
story frame house that Mr.. Shorb oc-
cupied for his store and residence, was

store and residence; and when Mr..
Harter built the present three-story
brick. standing on the lot described,
the frame building was moved to the
northeast corner of Young and Tuscar-
awas streets, where it still stands, and
is used for residence purposes.
When John Shorb built his mill most
all the lowland between Tuscarawas
street and his mill was covered with
tamarack, cedar and pine. In some
places these trees stood quite thick
Muskrats abounded there then. and

Columbus. Aug. 16.-The local
branch of the Amalgamated association
has invited President Shaffer to make
an address in this city. Thus far the
local steel plant has not been affected
by the strike for the reason that most
of the employees are non-umionists. The
local lodge thinks the opportunity is
ripe for little missionary work and
believes Il would be productive. of good
results. There are in the neighboc-
hood of 800 men outside Of the union
at the plant, and from all signs many
of these can be induced to join the
association. 1t is planned to hold an
open meeting, with President Shaner
as the principal speaker. The latter
will be on hard as soon as his duties
will permit.

George N. Webb, John Scroggs and Z.
ID. Albert, were always ready to buy
fur skins.
The dam for turning the water OF
the west creek into Shorb's mill was
built about one hundred feet south OF
Tuscarawas street, and the digging of
the race from that point to the mill
was about three-fourths of mile long,
running quite straight from the dam
to the mill on the east side of the low
land, or swamp" as 1t was then called.
At the time that Shorb's mill was
