Committee Named for C~anvassinq
Eoth City and County for Money to
Rehabilitate the Mall and Save for
the Home Market the Money Paid
for Foreign Flour.

The executive committee of the
board of trustees of the Laramie flour.
ing mills company, consisting of r.
II. Simpson, James Christensen, J. T.
Holiday, F.. A. Miller. A. c. Jones and
Frank H. Eggleston, held a meeting at
the Office of Fred A. Miller, in the In,
terstate Townsite building, this morn,
ing, to take steps toward getting the
rehabilitation of the -four mills under
way and raise funds for the conduct
OF the campaign for the manufacture
Of -four here this coming season. The
matter of raising funds was discussed.
l. was determined that shares of stock
of the value of $40 be issued mt that
as many people as possible be induced
to subscribe, as it is a matter in which
the people of the whole county are in
terested alike. The manufacture of
flour here would keep a large amount
of money at home annually that now
goes outside the county for flour and
bread.stuff, and would give greater in
centive to the raising of wheat and
the sure crops on the Laramie plain.
Two committees were appointed to
canvass the people of the county. n
in the city and the other in the coun
try, the committees to see as many
people as possible. They are as fol-

Messrs, Simpson and Buffum were
APPOINTED a committee to prepare
papers relating to the objects of the as
ISOLATION and the manner of collecting
and paying subscriptions, and when
these have been prepared, they will be
submitted to the executive committee
and then to the general committee,
a meeting of which will be called for
the purpose.
All the gentlemen present realized
the importance of raising the money
needed to start the mill as the first
consideration. When this las been &C
complished, which it is hoped will be
in a few days, the matter of seed wheat
and the enlistment of the farmers OF
the Laramie plain in the enterprise
will be undertaken. Wheat adapted to
be raised here will be selected and as
many farmers as possible asked to SOW
some and cultivate it for the benefit OF
the mill. which will be put in the very
best shape for the manufacture OF
| -four suitable to be used in the homes
of the people of the county and state.
The matter is now in good hands and
there is expected to come a full frui'
ton of the hopes and desires of tie
gentlemen back of the scheme to MAKE
the production of flour and breadstuis
mere a certainty.
