The Farmer and the Miller.

Editor OF The Dispatch:
Sir,--I have been a constant reader OF
your paper for n long time am a
farmer, sixty-seven years of age, and an
old Confederate soldier. cannot work
any more, but manage to raise a little
crop wththired labor. My principal crop
Is wheat Now, YOU have been giving
the farmer some good advice, and am
persuaded to claim the fact that you are
a particular friend of the farmer.
What 1 want to know is in connection
with the miller and the farmer The
seeding, harvesting and threshing Of
wheat costs about one-fourth the value
of the crop. l take my wheat to mill to
have it ground into flour The miller
takes another fourth q think the law
only allows him one-eighth). He tells
me that Is his price, and If I don't like
1t can 20 somewhere else to get my
-four. Now. there is nowhere else to go;
they all charge the same price.
The miller says he doesn't toll my
wheat; he gives me one barrel of flour
and sixty pounds OF bran for six
bushels of wheat, which is $50 pounds
of wheat for the miller Gnd 256 pounds OF
flour and bran for the farmer Now,
this is not fair to think that 1t costs
the farmer more to have his wheat
ground than 1t does to raise it.. The mil
| Ter gets 104 pounds OF wheat for grind
ing six bushels. when the law OF Virginia
doesn't allow him but forty-five pounds.
| Now, Mr.. Wmes-Disputch. can't you
show your hand on this in some way,
so as to bring the miller down to some
| reasonable limit? I have never seen
anything of this kind in your paper be-
| fore, but think it should be laid before
/ you. FARMER.
| Orange. Va.
(Eere Is the law on the subject:
"All clean wheat of understandable quail
ity, weighing not less than so pounds to
the bushel, shall be ground into so much
of best, extra, supertine or family flour.
as the wheat will produce, and one
eighth part Of grain to be ground shall
be the miller's toll. II, however. any
mill cannot, without great Inconvenience,
grind wheat into best flour for toll, as
aforesaid, the owner Of said mill may
elect to exchange -four for wheat on
following terms: One barrel OF super
fine for 4 IL bushels: one barrel of
extra for bushels; one barrel Of best
family flour for 8 1-2 bushels of wheat.
For violation of this ect the proprietor
shall for every violation forfeit to party
injured $40. but with these provisions tho
proprietor shall not he obliged to run
more than one pair Of stones

NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE
Commencing February /, Three Daily
Passenger Trains WIN Be Run Be-
tween Dallas and Falls City.

The new passenger train schedule
for the operation of trains between
Dallas aud Falls City, and also be-
tween Falls City and Black Rock, has
been completed and will go into effect
February /. By this schedule, the
running time of the present trains
will be changed and an additional
train will be added. General Manager
Gerlinger says that the operation OF
an additional daily train will cause
the trainmen much extra work. aud
he is not yet sure whether the trains
can be run on the time provided by
the new schedule. In order to deter.
mine the practieability of the arrange
ment, the time table will be given a
week or ten days trial, and if it proves
satisfactory it will be permanently
adopted.
According to the new schedule, the
morning train will leave Dallas at
7:l5 and arrive at Falls City at Z :55-
Returning. it will leave Falls City at
s AS and arrive in Dallas at 8 80.
The next train will be freight No
coach will be attached to this train,
but accommodations will be provided
for passengers in the caboose. None
but through passengers will be carried,
however, as the train will make nc
stops between Dallas and Falls City,
either going or coming. Owing tc
limited time, this train will not be run
to the Southern Pacific depot fol-
passengers, but will start from the
company's terminal grounds in South
Dallas.
This new train will accommodate
Falls City people arriving in Dallas
on the morning train from Portland,
and will also connect with the after
noon train between Dallas and Port
land. 1t will leave Dallas at 10
a. M, and arrive in Falls City at II so
a. m. Returning, it will leave Falls
City at p. m.. and arrive in Dallas
at AS p. m.
The last train in the afternoon will
leave Dallas at 3 30 o'clock, and arrive
in Falls City at 4, Returning, it will
leave Falls City at 4:9O, and arrive in
Dallas at Is p m.
The daily schedule between Falls
City and Black Rock will be as
follows Leave Falls City at G a. M,
and arrive back in Falls City in time
to connect with the s :45 train fol
Dallas. Leave Falls City at a. m
and arrive back in time to connec
with the l p. m. train for Dallas
Leave Falls City again at l 80 p. m.
and arrive back in time to connec
with the 80 train for Dallas. Thi
schedule will give the people Of Blacl
Rock three trains daily to the count,
seat, and will be great improvement
over the present schedule.
The road is now we'll equipped will
heavy locomotives and cars, and n,
difficulty will be experienced in oper
ating all trains on time The officer

1t seems almost impossible of belief
that while the people Of the Willamette
Valley we're enjoying mild, balmy
weather this week, the city of Portland
was experiencing the worst sleet and
ice storm ever known in Oregon. And
yet such was the case. 1t is believed
that the damage caused by the storm
will reach nearly one-half million
dollars. Telephone and telegraph
wires were wrecked, trees were up
rooted in the streets, traffic was block
AIDED, and business was brought to a
standstill. Such storms are almost
unknown in Oregon, and it is lucky
for the state that they occur at such
infrequent intervals.

Believing that many of the lime
stone deposits in Oregon will furnish
prime material for the manufacture
of cement, the Oregon Agricultural
College at Corvallis has added a new
automatic cement testing machine
and will make experiments with any
stone seat to the college free Of charge
to the person sending it, Samples of
limestone sent for testing should
weigh not less than 20 pounds, and
should represent an average sample
of the deposit. 1t has long been be-
lieved that the immense deposits of
limestone in the hills west of Dallas
would make an excellent quality of
cement, and it would be we'll for the
owners OF these quarries to take ad-
vantage OF this opportunity to have
the stone given thorough test. II
this stone is suitable for cement pur-
poses, it will be the means of establish
ing another important industry that
will add hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the wealth of Polk county.
