| Interest in and study of the potato
its edible value and it's value in the
creation of that household commodity
-starch-with an incidental value in
The production of denatured alcohol
and a fertilizer to restore the chemi-
cal of requirements of the soil, prompt
cd Lawrence Huntamer to take up the
problem with the authorities in the ag-
ricultural department at Washington,
ID. c.. and he is now coming in pos
session of valuable data. This data
with the equipment of plant at some
| time in the not too remote future,
may be the outcome of the present de-
pressed prices of potatoes, which will
Justify planting on a much larger
scale than at present and insure the
producers a fairer price than has OBJ
tanned during the past season. When
the information has been fully collect
ed and the statistics of available soil
in a closely contiguous area has been
compiled, Mr.. Huntamer purposes TAX
ing other producers into his confidence
and then making an effort to estab-
fish plant that will justify tilling
much added acreage, If the plant in
vestment and the scheme of market
ing does not require too much money.
Knox Bros, the enterprising auto
mobilists of Olympia, have decided to
try out daily auto stage service be-
tween that point and Union Mills and
have announced that. the stage will
leave the Kneeland hotel, Olympia. at
1880 p. M, p. m, and 1890; return
ing it will leave Union Mills at D. M,
q. 80 p. m. and IL midnight. During
the past week, J. V. Huntamer, who Sc
cured the right-of-way through Fleet
woods park from the Pacific highway
into the mills, had force of men,
team and road drag going over the
private roadway, making it passable
for automobiles. BY using the tele-
phone literally the people out that
way will, through this exhibition
on enterprise, be placed in close touch
with every phase of supply and de-
Iiand.
B. F. Wagley, who has been doing
things ever since his advent on
Hawks Prairie, has practically fin
ished the construction of his new store
building at Union Mills and the hand
some new home of ten rooms on the
edge of the prairie, which he will oc-
cupy himself, is now nearing compile
ton. AS Wagley does not desire to go
into seclusion, but wants his environ
ment to be that of many pleased and
rroft- sharing neighbors, he and sew
eral associates have acquired at 500
acre holding just to the northeast of
his place and will at once begin ar
for subdividing it into small
tracts. Mr.. Wagley has given himself
and a corps of co-workers just go days
In which to dispose of at least one
half of this property.
'We will sell at a low figure, on
easy terms, to the first actual settlers
md builders said the why little gen
tleman the other day, land take our
profit from those who come in later /.
md see what the early birds have |
cone"
And then, dipping into the future, |
he made a James O'Neil-Monte Cristo |
wave of his digits toward an eminence |
Just north of the Mills and said:
When I've disposed of half of those
-lacts, I'm going to build q hotel and |
resort right over there on that hill .
