The mill is run by water power, a
force Of 800 horsepower being deyel
oped from the mill race which passes
through Salem and into the mill. With
this power not only Is all the machinery

also operates its own electric Light

VIVA Rose Flour

The mill has a capacity Of 500 barrels
Of -four each day, and ships Hour to all
points OF the Willamette Valley. For
this business, Mr. Babeoek explained,
they manufacture a special brand Of
-four Of higher grade than that made
for export. They have given TO this
quality the name OF WILD ROSE
FLOUR. and il is handled By every
grocer in Salem, az we'll as by the great
majority of dealers in Marion and the
neighboring counties. Everyone who
uses il recommends il very highly, and
the demand for il is steadily increasing.
Il is also shipped TO points outside the
state, even as far as British Columbia.
For export purposes the Salem Flour
ing Mills make several grades Of nour,
and these are put up under different
brandA A few names, selected from a
large number, are the following; Pa
CODA, Snow Flake, Salem Steamer,
Eagle, Rooster, Stork and Green Girl
China and Japan are the principal for

The mill is also equipped with a bar

convenience. As a protection against

Mr.. BabeOek is to be congratulated on
the splendid manner in which the busi.
ness Of these mills has been built up,
and the successful way in which 1t Is
handled. The output this year has not
been as high a. usual, owing TO the
shortage in the local supply Of wheat

How Wheat Is Cleaned.

After the wheat has been received at
the mill II is turned into the first set
OF cleaners Here the toughest OF the
dirt, such as sand or grains OF another
variety, are taken from il. II then
goes through a second set Of cleaners,
and there is thoroughly cleaned for
manufacturing into -four. After this
second cleaning, the wheat goes to the
first set Of rollers, where il is crushed
and partly ground. All Of the ma,
ehinery in the mill is from the Nor,
dyke Mormon Co., and all Of it is OF the
latest model The mill has altogether
seven stands Of rollers for the grinding
Of -four, besides equipment for handling
bran and shorts, and other by-PrOduets
OF the -four
When the wheat has gone through the
first grinding process, il goes TO the
sifters, Of which there are three, one
swing and two square. These sifters
are on the third door, and separate the
bran and shorts from the partly ground
wheat. The bran and shorts are then
carried to bins, from which pipes lead to
automatic sack hllers.

The only place to give the talks at
Oakland was at the side of the tram,
on the railroad tracks, so every tram
going by disturbed the speakers and
scattered the crowd. but the people
would come back just as interested as

Oakland were Prof. w. D. Hurd, Prof.

there was a large crowd of boys i'll
