WHY Is OUR FIGURING
MILL NOT A SUCCbSS?.
WHEAT RAISED In THE WEISER VALLEY
is TAKEN TO BOISE TO BE GROUND
INTO FLOUR.

Investigation shows that wheat has
gone over the P. & |. n. and Short
Line to Boise in car load lots. Yet
we cannot grind it at home. Who
can explain the mystery. The mill
here cost $25, 600 and is offered for
sale at 81, 500. There must be some
mill man with milling genius enough
to run the mill and make it pay. Mr..
Fosselman says it is too large, and
further thatit will not be dismantled,
as reported, but will be reduced from
$50 barrel to so barrel mill, and
that only the surplus machinery is
offered TO the Soda Springs people.
