Mr.. Editor:
We left Charleston, Wash, by team,
June 18th at 7 a. M, crossing the
Snake river, a stream about a quarter
of mile wide, into Idaho, paying a
toll of five cents on foot and twenty
cents for team. Between the Palouse
and Asotia mountains the drive
affords a grand sight, with the clouds
hanging over the tops and the brown
sides of the mountains. 1t is said the
mountains are four miles from the
foot to the summit. 1t was my
pleasure to spend some time in climb
ing them, but we only went short
distance. 1t is a fine sight to see the
fruit farms with their little streams OF
water winding in and out and the trees
loaded with fruit. We then travelled
till we came to Spokane, which is a
fine city. We left Spokane by the
| Great Northern, travelling by the
great lakes and rivers and mountains,
the scenery being very fine. There
were large herds of cattle and horses
on the plains. AS we came through
the mountains we saw the Clark sheep
ranches at distance. After leaving
the mountains we came through North
Dakota on our way to Chicago, and
from there across Lake Michigan to
Port Huron into Canada and on to
Montreal. After we crossed the line
we came through small town that
was destroyed by fire. The fire was
burning on both sides of us as We
passed through. We reached Halifax

MILBANk FLOUR
The Mill Company ReOrganfZed
with Local Capttal-ln-
creased Output to
be Made

A reorganization of the
Wagner Mill company has
recently taken place, a number
of local business men and
farmers having purchased the
interest of G. H. Wagner, and
the mill will now be entirely in
the hands of our local people.
The company intends to build a
O,OOO bushel elevator for the
mill, thus increasing the storage
capacity to about 10000 bushels,
and after making some other
improvements they will put on
a night force and run the mill
for the "a hours of the day. The
mill is now making the very
best quality of -four, it's several
brands commanding the highest
prices and being in demand. by
eastern buyers and in the local
market. In fact the present
running capacity of the mill has
not been sut1i cient to keep up
with the cons tantly increasing
demand which the excellency of
the flour manufactured has
create5 The mill is an impor.
tant factor in the business
interests of Milbank, and with
the fine quality of flour which it
is turning out our people should
see to it that it's product be given
preference on all occasions, and
there should be no necessity for
the use of any but Milbank
flour.
Any of our local people who
desire to purchase stock can
secure any information they
desire by applying to F. w.
Stahler, the general manager.
