has been installed at a large ex-
pense Many labor-saving devices
are seen as one goes about the mill.
Construction on this mill began the
first of November, as soon as the
railroad entered Spirit Lake, and

by the floods in Montana delaying
equipment.

suffered are the early peaches and
the Strawberries. The early peach
crop will be comparatively small,
