Mr.. Lovelace says that the revolt"

that the resolutions Of censure were
adopted under the inspiration OF a
deputy who had been discharged for
characterization and in a meeting at

being vested In the executive commit.
tee and all money borrowed has been
with their approval. II Is true that
the society has lost In membership
during my term, but the loss has been
greatly exaggerated and has been due
to irregular and increasing assess
ments. II Is realized that a readjust.
ment of the rates Is inevitable"
Most of the charges relate to mat

long enough to allow the Columbia's
orchestra to play God Save the

AS the Columbia steamed away from
the burg, the Ste Claire came along

she passed the tugs and dredges they

ENLARGED ICE PLANT.

Arnold Bros. have secured the con tract for building the big addition to the Mesa dairy and ice plant and have already started work on the structure. The new building will be built of brick and will be about 50X60 feet and 75 feet in height.
 It will be connected with the west end of the present building by four foot passage ways. and will be capable of housing machinery to turn out fo1r- teen tons of ice. This gives the plant a capacity of twenty tons of ice per day and three tons for refrigeration. making a full twenty-four ton capI- city. The machinery. which will 70 installed bX Prick & CO. will be SD ar ranged that both old and new plants may be used as a whole. or they may be used separately.

MESA
AN ALFALFA MILL.

1 Yesterday afternoon a number of
 prominent ranchers and alfalfa growers
 met in the offices of the Wilbdr Realty
 company to discuss the alfalfa mill sit
 nation. It is the desire of many of
 them to establish such an institution in
 Mesa, and Dr. F.. W. Wilbur is one Of
 the prominent boosters Of the concern. It is due principally to his efforts that yesterdays meeting was held. The mill would cost in the neighborhood of s25.- 900 and would employ about ten men IL would grind the alfalfa hay into meal form. which is contended to be q 50 per cent better food for cattle and stock than the regular hay
 The farmers themselves would build the mill-should the proposition come through properly. and would derive thl benefits therefrom. not only in making difference in the feeding of their stock but in the profits that would ac- crue from such an investment Several sites have been talked of as proper places for the mill. Some suggested Mesa as the best place. others thought McQueens siding would be good loca- ton. while Jesse F. Kelley and John l Phillips both cOntended that Gilberts siding is the better location. and each gentleman offered tO donate land enough for the buildings necessary at that point. Mir. Phillips has made up carefully computed table and presented it, showing that there was more alfalfa acreage in that locality than in the two others mentioned. H. F. Beardslev. who is a recent arrival here from ohio. said that he had fed alfalfa meal to his stock in the east. and gave a short talk on the advantages it possessed as food. He is highly in favor of the mill. The situation was canvassed thoroughly and the gentlemen adjourn ed to talk to some of the other inter- ested parties who could rot be present. and until a future meeting. Among those who are interested and who have subscribed to the erection of the mill are Charles Pine. w E. Allison. John Wallace. John Teleford. J. c. Spangler. James Wallace. H. F. Beardslev. w. <.
