8. F. Gilman's Mill.

The editor recently visited the
Minnechaduza mill, to which the
people of Valentine point with
pride as an institution of great val
ue to this part of Nebraska. 1t is
run by water power mostly, but is
equipped with large steam en-
CINE to use in case of low water or
while the water wheel might be
needing repairs. The capacity of
the mill is $50 barrels of flour per
day, which is nearly 10000 pounds
of flour day or $50 bushels of
wheat. Over 100000 bushels of
wheat can be ground in this mill
per year. Nearly all the wheat
ground here is raised in the sur
rounding country. One of the
peculiar features is that the best of
machinery and latest improved is
used here. 1t is the only mill that
we know of having washing ma
chine, and all the wheat ground
here is washed and dried by a
steam drying process, consequent
ly our flour is clean and whole
some.
Flour is shipped from here to
other towns up and down the G.. &
N. w., and thousands. of people
rejoice as they eat their daily
bread, fresh from the banks of the
Minnechaduza where stands the
best mill in Nebraska and operat-
ed by G. S. Gould, manager; Geo.
Stambach, miller; Joe Hemmer,
second miller; VIM. Daniels, ele-
vator man; Frank Whipple, flour
packer; Frank Hunter, engineer
and Robert McQuade, teamster.
Beside this enterprise the same
water wheel pumps our city water
and furnishes the power for Val
entine's electric lights. Ira Hew-
EFT and Allan Gould are the cleo
tricians.
1t was through the courtesy of
Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Stambach that
we were shown through the mill
and this article comes unsolicited.

The object of Uncle Sam in par.
ceiling out homesteads is, and has
always been, to encourage the set
Element of the country while di-
viding the domain equally among
our people, guarantying each citi-
zen of the U. S. equal rights with
no special privileges. The U. S.
has never refused any citizen the
right to dispose of one of her home
steads the moment title has revert
ed, nor does she exact any promise
from a citizen to remain a tiller of
the soil. 1t is nevertheless class
legislation to construe our home
stead laws to the benefit only of
those who have been and remain
tillers of the soil. Their proper con-
struction is, and should be, a home
for every citizen who cares to avail
himself of tho privilege, narrow
minded demagogues to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
