WORKING HARD
FOR RICE Mill
Louisiana Parties Behind Movement
to Establish Plant at Memphis
For Handling Rice Of This
Section.

The organization of a company
for the purpose of establishing a rice
mill in Memphis to take care Of the
increasing product of the Arkansas
lowlands, has been in progress for
several weeks, but the matter has
been kept quiet on account of the
fact that the full amount of stock has
not been subscribed says the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal.
The plan of the promoters is to
organize company with a capital of
$4,000 and build the mill at a point
accessible both to river and rail.
The leading interests behind the
movement are held by Louisiana capt.
talists, but several Memphians are III

until the matter has been completed
he deems it inadvisable to discuss
the matter.
At present the possibility Of the
mill is in doubt, as there has been
very little active agitation for the
purpose Of disposing Of the stock
The secret of the intention to es-
tablish a mill was Inadvertently made
public yesterday in the discussion OF
