BIG MILL TO
START JULY !.
Sumpter Valley Lumber Com
pany Getting Ready to
Start Its Plant.

The Sumpter Lumber company
started force of men to work
Monday grading and clearing for
offics, warehouses, yards and sidings
OF the foot of Mill street. A street
Is to be ut In to run at right angles
with Mill street from this location
to the site of the big lumber plant
soon to be built. In the meantime
a big force is kept steadily at work
clearing the ground for the mill
and getting the big log dam in
shape for operations.
According to the company's present
plans the mill will be built and in
operation by the first of July. The
start on the mill proper will, there
fore, have to be made at an early
date. The plans for the plant,
however, are all ready, and the
management has been in touch with
various machinery concerns for some
time so that the necessary equipment
can be forwarded at moments
notice. No delay will be occasione
in this direction.
In he different preparatory
operations now going forward, the
company is employing about 100
men which force will likely be
increased when the big mill starts
up.

TWO SECTIONS OF Bazaar
CLEARED EQUAL AMOUNTS

The ladies in charge of the Union
Mission bazaar, held last week at Tur-
ner hall, have figured up the exact
profit made and find that it was S245.
This is clear gain for the mission
fund, and while it is not as large as
had been hoped for, it will help in
the cause. \ peculiar coincidence is
found in the fact that the Rock ISL
and and Moline sections of the bazaar
cleared almost exactly the same
amounts. The ladies wish to thank
the management of Turner hall for
the free use of the place. the mana
gers of the Totten music house for
the piano that was used, Prof. Zede-
ler's childrcn's orchestra, and all
others who contributed To the success
of the bazar. \ number of dishes
were brought to the bazaar with eata-
bles and were not called for by the
owners. They are now at the home
of II. ID. Blakemore. SIC Nineteenth
