NEWS OF Utah AND ADJOINING STATES
WOODEN MILL MAY
START Up AGAIN
Factory to be Sold at Auction
and Prospective Purchas-
ers Plan Opening.
(special to The Herald Republican.l

Provo, March 23.-The Provo wooden
mills are now advertised for sale to
the highest bidder at auction ON April
IL. There seems to be no doubt now
that in few months the whistle which
mas so long been silent will again cali
the operators to work. This will not
only be of great benefit to Provo, but
10 the state, by providing a part of the
wooden goods consumed by the people
ana keeping at home some of the
money now sent east for woolens
Just who the purchaser or pur-
chasers viii be is not known. but the
purchaser will undoubtedly operate the
mill. 1t is well equipped with ma
which has been kept in good
order the eight or nine years the mill
mas been closed. and is therefore ready
to start up at any time when material
can be brought together.
AT recent meeting of the stock
Heber j. Grant intimated that
he and others in Salt Lake who held
big block of stock were contemplating
the purchase and operation of the mill
Jesse Knight has fer some time been
anxious to see the mill resume, for the
good of the community, and he has
made some investigation, with a view
to purchasing and operating the mill
de VIII make a bid unless the Salt
Lakers intend to bid and begin manu-
facture, or he may become associated
with them.
seventies by the people generally TAX
ing stock in the enterprise, which was
inaugurated by Brigham Young and
other leading citizens for the purpose
of furnishing employment TO the peo-
pie, and a local market for wool.
1t was brought to a high stage of
efficiency and the cloth
was sold in the larger cities of the
United States, and some of 1t came
back as ready-made clothing This was
in the later years of its operations. In
the earlier years the goods were dis
posed OF at home. 1t is now believed
that the spirit of loyalty to home man
has been sufficiently revived
TO insure the buying support the mills
failed to receive at home for many
years before it was compelled to close.
The mill has never been a source of
big profits to the original stockholders
in the sense of paying dividends, which
have been small and far between. The
company is capitalized for $500, 900, but
the property is not expected to bring
like that amount, and there
are some debts against the company.

HUMANE SOCIETY WINS
Greek Who Let Horses starVe
Promptly Convicted by Jury.

Charles Ferris. one of the Greek
stockholders in the horse ranch on the
Redwood road, where forty-five horses
were permitted to starve to death last
November, was found guilty of cruelty
TO animals by negligence in the justice
court of Nephi $. Timpson yesterday
afternoon. Sentence was deferred IN
til today The case is regarded as a
victory by DR.. T. d. Beatty of the
state Humane society, who regards the
action of the Greeks in wilfully per-
hitting horses to starye to death,
while their barns were filled with hay,
as one of the worst that was ever
called to his attention.
Realizing that there we're laws in
Utah which prohibited them from ex-
treme cruelty to animals the Greek
owners of the horse ranch have made
every effort to have the case against
them thrown out of court. 1t was
their belief that they had won a legal
point when they succeeded in procur-
ing a change of venue in the case from
the justice court of F. n. Bishop to
that of Timpson. When the latter
found Ferris guilty yesterday after
noon there was CONSERVATION among
the other defendants. whose cases are
10 be heard at later date.

will be the best medium-sized power
plant in the state of Utah. A sufficient
amount of water and fall is obtained to
develop 400 horsepower with minimum
flow of the stream. Warm spring water
will keep the bitches free from ice in
the severest weather. The location of
the canal is near the top of low foot
hills, which will insure the customers
of the company against interference
from floods and land slides. The latest
and best machinery of standard make
will be installed. To insure minimum
loss in transmission large section cop
per wire and high voltage will be used.
The present intention of the company

tracted for by the time the plant is
completed. The officers of the COM
pany are located at Gunnison, where
