Minneapolis, Aug. s.-Incident TO =
reorganization of the stockholders of
the Pillsbury- -Washburn Flour MillingI
Company they today petitioned theI
federal district court for the appoints |
ment of receivers. Whatever action isl
taken by the court the business Will
be continued.
The court granted the petition, nam
ing C. S. Pillsbury, son of the late|
Charles A. Pillsbury, A. c. Loring,
head of the Northwestern Consolidated
Milling Company, and A. c. Cobb. an
attorney. The petitioners were the four|
banks of Minneapolis and ST. Paul,
together with ]. S. Pillsbury.
After naming the receivers, the|
court fixed their joint bond at half al
million dollars and announced fveI
days would be allowed for them to f1leI
it, That the petition for the receivers|
ship was on a. friendly basis is evi-
denced by the appearance of j. ST.
Pillsbury as one of the petitioners and
the fact that the companW consented
to the action without opposition. This|
may be due to the necessity for Al
change of management which was|
broadly intimated in the petition. The|
application for receivers created SURF
prise, but is not expected to precipi-
tate any furry in milling or financial
circles.

ANOTHER MILLION TIES
WANTED.

Daniel p. Mumbrue, a tie contractor
for the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad, has been in Hilo within
the past week and will leave the Vol
cano House today in company with
Manager w. W. Harris, of the Hawaii
Mahogany and Lumber Company, for
Kona. There they will inspect the
eompany's forests, as Mr.. Mumbrue is
anxious to see the prospects for get
lion. His idea is to erect his own plant
as he does in other places where suit
able tie lumber can be found, making
an arrangement with a local company
for the product of the forest as it
stands. The company has 112 square
miles of forest on the other side of the
Island.
Mr.. Mumbrue speaks in the highest
terms of the ohia ties, but thinks the
Mahogany people are making mis-
take in using ohia for such purposes,
as he believes they could sell to better
advantage for other purposes, and in
stances the difficulty in securing oak
for ties, as it is now more valuable in
other directions
MILL INSTALLATION PROGRESS
ING.
The foundations for the new tie mill
of the company are laid and the car
penters are at work on the main build
ing, which is to be 100 feet long and
60 feet wide, two stories high. Most
of the timbers are on the ground, and
several ears of the machinery are at
San Francisco waiting for the return
of the Enterprise to Hilo. The work
of grading and filling has been big
job, and is now completed.
The small tie mill, which will run
as an adjunct to the main mill, is near
ing completion, and will supply ties
pending the completion of the big mill.
This mill is up in the timber, where a
supply of water has been located, and
this water viii be piped down to the
main mill later on. Logging has com
menced for the small mill, and prepare
tions are being made to log the big
mill and have a supply of three mil
lion feet ready for the time the saws
will commence turning the logs into
ties. With a daily capacity of $4,000
feet, the big mill will require a big
force in the woods to keep it going.
The Hilo railroad has put in the
switch for the mill, and the mill force
is pushing the switch tracks through
the mill yards.
