Johnson was standing nearby. The

have a Touring mill A proposition was
put up to the citizens and farmers in
this section few days ago by Mr.. Ju-
Illus Enrich of Colfax, that if they
would take stock to the amount Of
$4,000 he would put in mill at this
place. A meeting was held by the
farmers and citizens and in short
time the asked for amount had been
subscribed, thus insuring a Touring
mill in Council.
The mill is to be up and ready for
business by September 1, this year. 1t
will be 125 barrel daily capacity, ana
equipped with the best machinery.
Mr. Ehrlich had been called to Kah-
lotus to look over the field with view
of putting in a mill there, but when
he came on to Connell became SO fav-
orably impressed with it's substantial
appearance and excellent railroad ia
cilities that he made the proposition
mentioned to the citizens here.
It is expected that work on the same
will be begun not later than March Is.

Judged from the press reports they
have been receiving in the west. Every

of the company. Miss Bryan and MI

itv and talent. Miss Bryan is SAID TO
he one of the most beautiful and petlt
actresses ever seen in the state. MI.
Streeter plays all kinds of roles, from
the heaviest to the lightest and has
demonstrated his ability to do so time

Chief eMtz of the fire department, MI.
Streeter visited the theater and mace
all arrangements for additional fire es-

than fulfils the requirements Of the
law. Both in the front and IN the rear
of the building fire escapes will be
placed: and emergency exits will pro-
vide for the perfect safety of the au-
dience at all times.
Another thing which will please the
|theatergoers of this city is that the
ventilation of the theater is to be SO
improved that there will be no trouble
of any kind resulting from this source.
Fans and air shafts will provide proper
ventilation and the little playhouse
will be put in first class shape IN

would be dangerous TO work the colt

Celt has developed a quarter crack

preparation for the same stake. Celt &
trouble maye be cured In time. but
neither this colt nor Colin may be
seen In a race for long time to come
Colin has never been beaten. having
won Is races in his two years on the
turf. and about $l7S,000. His victories
this year include the Withers, Bel
mont aud Tidal stakes, OF the value or
$4,000. He won about $4,000 last
year, including the Futurity.
Celt has run fewer races than Colin,
but had earned the reputation OF being
nearly as good colt.
