NEW MILL STARTS
Wisconsin Lumber Company Start Operation Saturday.
EMPLOY SfvENTY-fIvf HANDS
Will Manufacture Lumber and Car and Wagon Stock of ali Kinds Complete De-
 scrlption of the Plant.

The magnificent new hardwood mill erected here by the Wisconsin Lumber company of Chicago, will commence saving logs Saturday, and the addition of this new enter prise means much to Huttig and Union county in their future de- velopment. When we state that this plant is one of the best con- structed and most modern of it's kind in the South, we are express ing the opinion of every mill man who has inspected it.
 Construction work was con- menced on the 26th day of last January by T. R. Helms and just completed by E. E.. Buchanan of Pawnee, La. The mill is 66x26O feet in dimensions, of frame construction, corrugated galvanized iron roof and is virtually a three story structure, measuring about 50 feet in height. It is equipped with two l4-ineh band saws, one 5-saW edger and one G. saw trimmer, all the latest Filler & Stowall machines. The saw mill machinery is driven by Z5O horse power Porter. Allen engine. with one shaft from which all the saw mill proper machines are operated. It is also equipped with three small band saws, two rip saws, two cut off saws, che pole and reach ma- chine, one surfacer. one bending machine and ore equalizer, all driven by individual motors of the Westinghouse type.
 The engine room, boiler room and fuel house are all of brlck con- struction, housed in corrugated galvanized iron, supported by gird- CTS, beams and posts made of extra fine quality steel, having concrete floors, steel conveyors and sup ports throughout and are as nearly fireproof as they could possibly be constructed, the only wood being the window sills.
 The engine room is equipped with one z5O horse power Porter Allen engine, one 800 horse power Erie City engine, one 25o horse power Westinghouse generator, one 75O gallon Buffalo fire pump and other necessary pump, heat CTS, blast engines, etc.
 The boiler room is equipped with four z2x18 high pressure Casey & Hedges Dutch oven type boilers with two 100 feet smoke stacks.
 The asserting shed is 5Oxl2O feet in dimension and is also cov- cred with corrugated galvanized iron. All the tramways are con- structed of oak as are the lumber pile foundation, which rest on con- crete bases.
 The log yard is equipped with one large travelling crane with a zO-foot boom, capable of handling 10000 feet of logs per hour. The logs hauled by this crane are placed upon an endless chain to be con- veyed into the mill. where before reaching the band saws they pass a large cut off saw where the butt scat of the log is sawed off to be converted into hubs.
 The company will manufacture lumber, car and wagon stock, in- Jcludlng poles, reaches, sawed fel- loes, bolsters, sand boards, hubs, axles. spokes, etc. All the wagon stock will be shipped in the rough to the International Harvester company of Chicago, where 1t is air dried for from two to three years before being used by them lr making the variuos farm imple- ments they manufacture. All the car stock will be delivered to the

and to greatly. excessively and ex-
cost and price thereof"
According to the indictment an IL
legal agreement thus to control prices
was entered into by the defendants as
far back as March /, 1908, when a
meeting was held in Jersey City at
which the defendants "wilfully, unlaw-
fully, fradulently and extorticnately"
bound thems.e2es to maintain and
exercise conGol over q monopoly of
the meat and poultry supply, and to
arbitrarily and unlawfuliy increase the
price OF meat and poultry, and not to
except at exorbitant prices agreed
upon"
The indictment goes on to state that
mere driblets of the supply were put
on the market at stated intervals,
small quantities agreed upon by the
defendants, thus to curtail and re-
strict the supply for the purpose OF
fictitiously, arbitrarily and unlawfully
increasing prices to the public"
No attempt is made to recite the
loss alleged to have been sustained
by the public by this alleged crea-
ton of artificial prices, but warehouses
are held specifically to blame. BY this
means, il is charged that the defend
ants were successful in keeping off the
markets large quantities of meat and
poultry which, if put upon the mar
kets, would have been sufficient to
meet the reasonable demand.
Interesting and significant relations
between the Armour, Swift and Nor.
ris interests, through the medium of
the National Packing Company are
set forth in the document. In order
to carry out the conspiracy, it is
charged certain adjustments in the
directorate of the National Packing
company were necessary.
To this end, the indictment says, a
meeting was held i'll Jersey City De-
cember IA, 1908, at which various di-
rectors of Armour and company, Swift
and company, and Morris and com
'pany were elected directors of the Ma
tional Packing company, constituting
a majority and controlling the board.
The Armour interests were repre-
sented by j. Ogden Armour, Connors
and Meekers, the Morris interests by
Edward Morris and Wilson and Ken
meth X. McLaren, a resident director
(McLaren was not indicted), and the
Swift interests by Edward F. and
Louis F. Swift, and l.. A. Carton.
The makeup of the directorate of
the National Packing company indi-
Gates how wholly representative it is
of the great packing interests of the
country, while in turn the company
owns the capital stock of the follow
ing:
Fowler Packing company, the st.
Dressed Beef and Provision COM
pany, the Fowler Canadian company,
Ltd; Fowler Brothers, Ltd, of Liver
pool; the Omaha Packing company,
the Hammond Packing company, the
G.. H.. Hammond Packing company,
the Anglo-American Provision COM
pany, and the United States Beef com-
pany.
The National Packing company was
incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey in 1903 and has a capital stock
of $4,000, 900.

Then she bowed her head again,

Prescription That Breaks Up the Worst
Cold in a Day.
Every winter this prescription is pub
lished here and thousands have been
benefited by it. Get two ounces of
Glycerine and half an ounce of Con-
centrated Pine compound. Then get
half a pint of good whiskey and put
the other two ingredients into it. Take
a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of this
mixture after each meal and at bed
time. Shake the bottle well each time"
But be sure to get only the genuine
Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce
bottle comes in a tin screw-top case.
Any druggist has it on hand or will
quickly get it from the wholesale
house. Many other pine extracts are
impure and cause nausea.
