ANOTHER BIG MILL
TO START SOON
Company Being Organized to Operate
on Large Scale in the GaI|ego
Warehouse.

Several gentlemen, who are not yet
ready to allow their names to be used,
are organizing a company for the pur-
pose of leasing or buying the Gallego
Mills warehouse for the purpose of
operating grist MILL
The warehouse is on South Twelfth
Street and just north of the Gallego
Mills building. 1t is at present owned by
Mr. Thomas T. Todd, by whom it was
bought several years ago. For the last
year or two it has not been occupied. The
last occupants were Frazer e. Tompkins,
the tobacconists and commission mer-
chants.
The plans of the gentlemen who are at
the head of the proposed enterprise are
to lease the building from Mr.. Todd for
a number of years and fit 1t up with
first-class machinery for the purpose OF
manufacturing -four and meal. 1t will be
impracticable for the plant to have water
power as the Gallego Mills have. the
choice will DE between steam and cleo
tricity. 1t used to be considered lmpoS-
sible to make good meal without the use
OF water as the motive power. because It
was thought to be impossible TO regulate
the power to q, sufficient extent 10 MAKE
the grade of the manufactured article
uniform. But all that has been exploded
long. ago. Excellent meal and flour are
now made by the use OF steam or elec-
tricity as the motive power.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company has been asked to extend their.
snur track, which now runs to the Gal
lego Mills, a few yards further to the
new mills. No trouble is expected about
this.
a few years ago the flour mills of Rich
n1ond were decreasing in number, and
those that were here were not thought to
be. making a great deal of money But
that has all changed now. Every mill

There was an incident in the caucus OF
the Democratic members of the Senate
yesterday afternoon that created consid-
erabIe talk in hotel Iobbies, and wherever
else members Of the General Assembly
met last night.
Newsnaner men were not admitted to
this conference and those who were there
felt that they were bound not to TAX
about what took place.
1t was learned, however, that after the
committees had been announced Senator
KeezelI called attention to a report that
has been presistently circulated to the
effect that some men who had supported
NIr. Montague for Governor would be
turned down.
Senator McIlwaine, the chairman of the
Steering Committee. made a calm reply,
in which he said there were no politics
in what had been done; that Mr.. Monta-
gue's name had not been mentioned III
the meeting of the committee:< that. there
had been no disposition shown to make
up the committees so as in any way to
embarrass the next Governor; but. on
the contrary, he believed all wanted to
aid in making the administration a sue

Senators Harvey and Sale. of the COM

latter said that he did not know until he
arrived here how the Senate committees
were made up. He did not know that
Mr.. Keezell had supported Mr.. Montague.
but had the idea that he had been a sup
porter Of Mr.. Echols, who was from the
adjoining county.
After these eyoIanafjons Mr.. KeeZe(i
said he was glad to know that there had
been no politics in it, and the incident
ended here.
There was some talk about Mr.. Wick
ham declining the craftsmanship of the
Finance Committee. but this has no foun-
