ings so long occupied by w. A H. Grant

bridge are TO be torn down To make room
for new mill. Herman Waterhouse, un-

Earnscliffe mills. was looking over the
ground yesterday, and judging from his
remarks II would seem TO be his inten-
ton TO erect a mill here. This morning a
representative of the News-Democrat

Hay and Grain company and asked him II
he had received any orders 10 vacate.
His reply was that he had not, but he
added that he would not be surprised IL
at any moment he received such an order.
When Mr.. Waterhouse retired from
the Earnsclifre mills he is credited with
saying, that IL he ever put up a mill, II
would be in Olneyville and this for the
