Mill MAY NOT
BE REBUILT.
Company Has No Immediate
Plans Except Prompt Build
ing of a Feed Mill.

Hon. Marcus johnson, president
of the New London Milling Com
pany. was seen by Tribune repre-
sentative at the company's office
this morning. MIR. johnson is nom
committal as to the prospects of the
rebuilding of the burned mill. He
says that the Willmar brands of
flour will be kept up, however,
pending future action. These
brands he considers as valuable as
sets OF the company.
The still smoking ruins Of the
mill are to be cleared away at once.
A feed mill Of good capacity is to
be erected Immediately south Of the
power plant on the Benson Avenue
corner of the property, leaving the
old site of the mill available for a
possible rebuilding of the flour
mill. Mr.. johnson explained that
in any event, they would not build
new feed mill in connection with
new flour mill. but would keep it
separate, and will use gasoline
power for the feed mill. The con-
struction of the feed mill will be
pushed at once. s".T ...~.
Thus far spoke Mr.. johnson.
People of the city generally now
begin to realize the Importance to
the town of a good flour mill. Not
only it's payroll of seven employees
makes support for that many fami-
lies in the city, but the improve
ment of the wheat market to attract
wheat is an important matter, not
to speak of the taxes paid to city
and county.
A heavy loser in the fire was
George L. Crowell, the head miller.
who lost practically all his clothes
and a valuable kit of mill-wrights
tools which were stored in the
mill. He but recently arrived in
Willmar and had not yet moved his
family here, and for that reason
had his personal effects stored tenn
DOrarily in the mill.
