ished, furnished and carpeted.
Upstairs a corridor runs full length
of building with Offices along the
side. These will open out on an
iron balcony which is now being
constructed. An iron stairway
will lead up to this from the out
side, and when completed that part
of the street and city will have
been beautified and improved, in
fact almost entirely transformed.
DIR. BUTLER BUILDING.
This is The Commercial Office,
which has just been plastered
throughout and the front nicely
painted. The building makes a
handsome newspaper home, easily
convenient and accessible to the
public. The Commercial is pleased
with its quarters and asks you to
call and subscribe for a genuine
all-round county newspaper at
dollar a year.

machines is collected and instead
of being carried out on top of the
mill, as formerly, it is carried
through pipes to the ground.
When we entered the elevator
one of the hands was engaged in
spraying the interior with white
wash. A machine for this purpose
had been adjusted on the lower
floor and hose run through diff
ferent sections of the elevator.
From this the whitewash was
pumped all over the building,
keeping it clean and free from in
sects.
The company has It's own cooper
shops and manufacture all their
own -four and meal barrels. In
the engine room is an 100 horse
power Atlas engine and boiler of
same capacity in another depart
ment.
MILL b.
The corn mill and elevator, with
machinery, power, ETC., are known
as mill B. This is the old Semones
plant overhauled and improved
throughout and its output is 1900
bushels of meal and five or six
tons of cob feed day. The ma
chinery consists of 6 meal rollers
and l chopper, an improved Zoos
cob crusher, separator with
speed of 1000 revolutions to the
minute, 4 cob meal separators, a
steam pipe kiln drier, Barnard &
Lea plant sitter, a shocking and
Smelling corn machine, and shuck
shredder and baler. The heavy
machinery used to shuck and shell
corn and shred and bale the shucks
is a feature of this plant. The
corn is taken from the shed and
lifted up by automatic process,
running through the shucker and
shelter. The shelled corn empties
clean and clear into barrels. The
shucks then 90 to the shredder au.
tomatically and then to the baler,
where they are stoutly and firmly
packed in bales ready for ship
ment. They are utilized IN the
East for paper making, etc. The
plant is run by Lane & Bodley
200 horse power Corliss engine and
boiler in separate buildings. The
elevator is ample and the plant
is modern and complete in every
particular.
In the company are Messrs. Geo.
Dahnke, president; John I. Walk
or, Henry Dahnke, A. j. Monro-
tus, forming very strong business
com bination. The company does
d large business in Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Flori-
la, Louisiana and Texas and is one
IF the most substantial enterprises
IN Union City.
A force of hands embracing so
families are supported by this
Institution. Mr.. Monrotus is man

A Modern, Thriving Concern Man
ufacturing Fine Product.


ufacturing Pine Product.
Now that Union City is in the
midst of a season of building, inn
provements and other signs of
prosperity we cannot reasonably
engage in a more pleasant task
than to speak of these things in a
particular and specific way. One
of the first things TO attract our
attention during the harvesting Of
wheat is our wheat and grain in
terests and our mills and elevators
A visit to those of the Dahnke-
Walker Milling Co. found Mr.. A.
j. Monrotus, by the way one of
the most proficient and best
equipped millers and mill machin-
lists to be found anywhere, busy
overhauling and substituting new
machinery in the wheat mill, or
MILL A.
This plant will be thoroughly
reconstructed and practically the
same as a new mill, and by the
time the first load of wheat reaches
the market the machinery will
have been thoroughly tested and
ready to start on another twelve
months run. On the grounds of
this plant are the main mill build
ing, offices, elevator, cooper shop,
boiler house, etc. The capacity of
the elevator is 10000 bushels of
wheat and the output of the mill is
$50 barrels of flour a day. Three
grades are made, namely: Sun
shine, Diana and Victor. The mill
has s double stand rollers made by
Edward Allis & Co., Q large Uni
versal boilers, 2 Barnard & Lea
boilers, a large Wilson tubular
dust collector, two purifiers and
dust collector attached, 2 large cy-
clones, a complete steam dry kiln,
5 Silver Creek packers, elevator
shafts, etc.
Our attention was directed more
particularly to the boiling ma
chinery. This branch of the work
has been Mr.. Monrotus' special
study for some time and a number
of successful experiments have re-
suited in the use of the Universal
machines. In each machine are
eight or ten sections of triangular
slides covered with silk boiling |
cloths, beginning at the top with
coarse material and gradually in
creasing in the tineness of texture
to the bottom. From one section
of slides to the next there is drop
of about one inch. The whole ma
chine revolyes partly around and
then back with a shift of about
four inches from its circumference
and by the time the flour has been
sifted through three or four hun
bred of these slides it is as near
absolutely clean and pure as pos
sible. In fact there is nothing we
eat so pure as flour, especially
when put through this process.
The adjustable steam dry kiln is
another feature of modern milling.
This machine is constructed of a
of pipes revolving on
an axis and inclosed in a case. The
-four is run through this when
damp and thoroughly dried. The
Wilson tubular dust collector is
another excellent improvement
over the old methods. By this
means the dust from around the

NoN-PARTISAN IN SCOPE.
Racts Which Prove That the Good
Roads Movement Is OF q Nom
Partisan Characte4.

The non-partisan character Of the
good roads movement has been en-
phasized in a most significant manner
by the action of its leading represen-
tatives in congress. While the move
ment for national aid has many able
supporters in both houses, Representa-
tive Brownlow and Senator Latimer,
of South Carolina, have been justly
recognized as its pioneers and leading
advocates. The former is an enthu-
siastic republican and the latter a
rock-ribbed democrat. But both are
for good roads first, last and all the
time, and together they have done
more than any other two men in the
United States. Both introduced bllls
simila. in principle, but differing IN
important details. Now they have
come together and after consultation
with other friends of national aid, they
have agreed upon single bill embody-
ing the best features of both bills, and
the new measure has been introduced
in both houses.
To emphasize the fact that the good
roads movement is also non-sectional,
and is favorable to the north as we'll
as the south, Senator Gallinger, OF
New Hampshire, and Representative
Currie, of the same state have also in
troduced the Brownlow-Laumer Dill.
The new bill provides for a bureau OF
highways with three commissioners,
one being republican, one a democrat,
and the third an army engineer. all
to be appointed by the president, and
subject to the control of the secretary
of agriculture. 1t also appropr1ates
S24 900 900 to be used during the next
three years in the improvement OF the
roads throughout the United States.
This money is to be divided among the
states and territories on the basis OF
population. Half of the expense OF
building the roads is to be paid by the
government and the other half by the
states or their civil subdivisions.
The demand for legislation OF this
kind comes equally from the north
and the south. While it is recognized
that the need for such law is greater
in the south, there is nevertheless ur-
gent need for it in the north. While
the latter section has made more prog
ress in road building, only good be-
ginning has been made even in the
older commonwealths. That the de-
mand for national aid is not limited
to the less wealthy sections is strong
ly evidenced by the fact that the New
York legislature has recently adopted
a resolution demanding the passage OF
the Brownlow bill. This action 1s
the more significant when we consider
the fact that the rural districts alone
are to be the direct benefciaries Of
national aid. while large majority OF
New York's people live in cities. II
New York favors such legislation, how
much more should such states as Iowa,
Arkansas and many other common
wealths whose population Is almosa
wholly rural and agricultural.
