IMPROVEMENTS TO SAW MILL.
The Menominee Lumber company has
closed the mill for two weeks on account
of shortage Of logs, but expect to have the
dam at Trout Lake finished by that
time, and get 100000 feet out of the
White Salmon. When this dam is fin
ished logs will be attainable at any time
of the year.
Though the mill is not running, the
planers are working and crew is filling
orders promptly for Eastern Oregon
towns.
The company has just finished build.
ing seven new houses for the crews fam
lilies. We are little crowded vet for
room, but in few days the carpenters
will be laying foundations for more
houses. There are % families here now,
and when the mill runs again the popu-
lation will be over 60.
Last month was fairly good, our ship
ments averaging two cars of lumber a
day besides 20 cars of ties. The demand
for lumber has not been as good as it
might on account of the harvesting, but
better times are looked for next month,
as the wheat is beginning to move.
Improvements to the plant are going
on daily. Next month our steam feed
will be here and the output increased 10
per cent or more. The loading platform
Is to be enlarged, the planer housed in
and the east side ofthe mill widened 20
feet.
The mill people have just completed
laying 300 feet of sIx-inch wooden pipe
throughout the mill and 1900 feet in the
yard with hydrants every 200 feet for
better fire protection at cost of 5000,
also a new Marsh pump of the latest
pattern has been installed, and hand
hose cart with 800 feet OF hose valued at
$3.50.

Jackson, June 29.-The proposal to
adopt New Orleans as the permanent

favor among the confederate veterans

to the suggestion that the next re-

the Exposition, fearing that they will
not be able to secure desired accom-
modations on account of the general

FARMERS MET AT HILLSBORO.


Seventeenth Annual Session of the State

AS we were not so fortunate as to
able to attend the annual meeting
of the State Farmers Alliance at

to take the Secretarys word for the
result of the meeting. The follow
ing is taken from Mondays Pro-
gressive Farmer:
The seventeenth annual session
of the North CarOlana Farmers
State Allan @ held near Hillsboro
last week was notable for enthusi-
asm, for businesslike effort for
large attendance, and for the quality,
as well as the quantity, of it's mem
bership. The number of counties
represented was larger last year
than the year before, and larger this
year than last. Excellent report.
were received as to the outlook fol
reorganization, and the executive
committee was instructed to borrow
a sufficient sum from the profits
of the Business Agency to keel
lectureres in the field. With prope
effort it is believed that the mem
bership of the Order can be doubled
in the next twelve months. Gu
open session Wednesday was
thorough success, and this is to b
made a permanent feature of tn
State meeting. Moreover, goo
list of officers was chosen, and tn
action on all matters considered wa
conservative and business like.
