HUGE MILLING
DEAL PLANNED
RUSSElL-MILLER COMPANY WILL
TAKE OVER MANY PLANTS
IN NORTHWEST.
MILL CITY firm WILL CTROONl
Twelve Mills and Eighty Elevators
Throughout the Wheat Region Pur'
chased and Dominate Flour Trade.

Minneapolis, June 21.-By the alb
plants and more than 80 elevators in
different parts of the Northwest, the
Russell-Miller Milling Company. of
Minneapolis, is about to consummate
one of the largest deals that has trans.
pired in local financial circles for
many months.
The property taken over by the
Russell-Miller Company represents a
capitalization Of $2,50O,OOO. Besides
two plants now in process Of erection
at Beach, Mont, and Billings, Mont,
the mills are all located in North Da-
kota, at Bismarck, Mandan and Dick
inson. The elevators cover a much
wider extent Of territory, but are all
located in the great wheat raising
belt of the Northwest.
E. P. Wells, president Of the Russell
Miller Company, in speaking OF the
absorption, stated that, although the
deal has not yet been fully consum-
mated there was no question about its
going through.
Owing to some of the provisions of
the law, it will be so days before the
absorption Of these mills and eleva-
tors will be completed. The delay,
however, is simply due to legal tech
nicalities, and not to anything else.
Within so days the deal will be COM
pleted, and one Of the most important
financial transactions that has taken
place in Minneapolis Of recent years
will be a matter of history"
