They felt that a flour mil!
would be one Of the most fetch
inc agencies in drawing travel,
trade and attention to Their
town. and with the object of
securing such a standard in
dustry the owners of the HAY
illah mill were approached ana
inducements held out that no
sensible business man could re
sist. Not only were the offers
of the Tonasket townsite peo-
pie most inviting, but it was
apparent to the Havillah mil
lers that Tonasket was a more
central and, from a business
point of view, a far more de
sirabIe location, being on the
railroad soon to be construct
ed, and within easy reach, at
the foot Of the grade, OF the
grain fields east and west OF
the river. The result was the
move followed. A new mill, OF
twice the capacity Of TIE old
one was erected at the -ic'v
town. 1t was well built, rs The
change was made for perma-
nency. Henry Lachmund, a
practical and experienced
stone mason, who has put up
steam boiler settings and foum-
dations for heavy machinery
both in Europe and the United
States, had charge Of con
structing the foundations and
settings for the new mill, which

it may be parentheticaIly ad
I ded that those wise ones only

The putting in of a small

IN the nature of an experiment
to satisfy the investors before
assuming the expense of build

tentlous structure. The max

the purpose Of thoroughly test
mo out the quality of the grain
taken as an average for several
years. The experiment was
highly and encouragincly sat

farina proved to be excellent
eatables, and the demand for
the product grew steadily,
both locally and from a dis
tance. Those behind the eX-
perllnental tests soon arrived
At the conclusion that it was
very essential for the more
rapid development Of the coun-
try that flour and other cereal
products be manufactured i'm

The above picture is a view
of Charles E. Blackwell's new
concrete store building at To
nasket. AT the time the pho
tograph was taken the front
was not quite completed as is
seen by the presence Of the
scaffolding, but at this time
the store is ready for occu-
pancy. It is a solid and en-
during building, the interior
arranged especially for the
transaction Of business, for if
there is a thorough business
man in the county he is Chas.
E Blackwell. The entire
ground floor is one large room,
with a balcony in the rear
where a private office, a rest
room and toilet for ladies are
situated. A glass front and
side corner display window
gives ample light in day time,
while cluster electric lights in
reckless profusion supply a
flood of light at night. The
basement is concrete with a
high ceiling, where the heating
plant is situated, and there is
sufficient storage space for i'm
mense consignments Of goods
in bulk. A wide concrete in
cline leads into the basement,
so that there is no trouble ex
perienced in loading and I'M
loading merchandise. No cost
has been spared in the building,
furnishing, equipment and ar
rangement throughout so that
business can be done in the
most expeditions manner, and

to the greatest satisfaction OF
both customers and the clerical
force. Before the building is
thrown open for business the
proprietor will give a free ball
to the residents of Tonasket
and the surrounding country,
serving a free supper from II
p. m. until 4 a. m. That is the
way this man Blackwell does
things, and that is why he has
made such a remarkable record
in the mercantile business in
Okanogan county.
The store at Tonasket will
be under the direct charge of
George Bailey, a reliable and
confidential employee of Mr..
Blackwell, and his record in
Riverside is such as to insure
the successful operation Of
the Tonasket emporium.
Chas. e. Blackwell has been
in business in Riverside for a
number Of years. He first
commenced his mercantile ca
reer as a clerk in the old Wash
ington Commercial store in
Oroville. He is a natural sales
man, and a glutton for personal
application and work. If he
has not made a fortune in bust
ness he has laid the foundation
for one, and with his stores at
Riverside and Tonasket doing
an immense business he will
one day be in the bond cupon
clipping class. He has worked
his way up to the top by his
personal exertions and is en-
titled to all he has accumulated.

TOnasket flour mill,
and the reader will
note that it is quite
pretentious institution. 1t
is situated near the bank of
the Okanogan river, at the east
approach Of the bridge that
links the two sides of the
stream. The mill is a large.
substantial structure, with a
capacity Of 80 barrels Il day,
and is equipped with the most
modern machinery made for
the manufacture Of the high
est grade of mill stuffs. The

terest to the people Of the
county to follow up the history
of this mill from It's inception.
In the fall of 1908 a company
decided to put up a feed mill
at Havillah. A small buiIdinp
was erected and machinery for
steam rolling Of all kinds Of
grain, and a small burr mill
for manufacturing graham and
farina, were installed. The i'm
precision had gone abroad that
wheat grown on the uplands Of
this county did not contain the
elements that enter into the
production of the best flonr.

.Octhsemane Cathedral
Mortgage Was Burned
Thanksgiving Day, 1918, Will Long Be Remembered in the
Annals of the Church Because of Interesting Event
Marking Wiping Out of Church Indebtedness

Thanksgiving Day, 1913, will be
specially chronicled in the written
events connected with Gethsemane
Protestant Episcopal cathedral OF
Fargo, for at the service yesterday
Bishop Mann, in the presence of a
very large congregation, burned the
mortgage and notes which, since 1893,
have been a lien upon the cathedral
edifice. The mortgage deed, the notes
and the bond of indemnity were placed
on a large tray resting on q stool
which stood Just above the top step
leading to the chancel. The lighted
taper was applied to the papers by
Thomas G. Buxton, n of the boy
choristers and cross bearer.
Before the act Of burning the once
valuable securities Bishop Mann brief
ly addressed the congregation in he
most congratulatory terms.
He said he had spent not a few
pleasant days and times in Gethsem-
ane' cathedral, u not a p~leasanter one
than this day Of national ThanksgiV-
ing this year. He cited the fact that
the mortgage on the church property
and all other liens have been paid In
full and there was no more need for
the papers in his possession, the best
evidence that their demands in full
had been liquidated. The bishop hap
PLY referred to the fine efforts which
had been made by the members and
congregation of the cathedral to make
possible the scene soon to be enacted.
With marked emphasis he c~ongratu-
lated the women of the parish guild
and the church for the part they have
had in making the event possible.

they have WOrke for and earned has

The Thanksgiving Service.
The service for the day which pre-
coded the event of burning the mort
gage was the regular appointed one
for the day in the Book of Common
Prayer. The professional hymn was
The Son Of God Goes Forth to War,
and the other hymns in the service
included My Country 'Tis of Thee.
Dean Bowling Preached.
The sermon was preached by Dean
Bowling and 1t Was a strikingly i'm
presstve one. He spoke from Psalm
cvi, 1, Praise Ye the Lord. o give
thanks unto the Lord; for He Is good:
for His mercy endureth forever. In
his preface he said that among all
OF our holidays, state and national,
which the people Of the United States
are wont to observe, not one Of them
aside from such festivals in the
Christian church calendar as have
practically become to be almost uni

approaches the significance of

SoAN AA IiAdL IL AS lOT oil lu0 GOplG
second, it Is significant because in it's
observance there Is the distinct recog-
ton that God presides over the well
rare Of the nation. In the festivals Of
a people I think it Is largely possible
to discover the soul that is in them.
"Our Thanksgiving day stands for
a reverent gratitude to God for the
! mercies Of His protection and leader
ship. A nation that does not fail to

after all owed pre-eminently to God
and in the large is guided by that
knowledge will preserve her prestige
among the worlds peoples.
The deal referl ed to the first
Thanksgiving proclamation by the first
president of these United States and
coming down to the present time he
read the body Of he proclamation
tssl ed by President Wilson.
Continuing the dean said in part
that his text was a part Of an ancient
song for an Assembled people," It Is a
beautiful sentiment that calls a nation
to give thanks to the ruler of the uni
verse.
To-day where the nation holds that.
God is behind 1t, and believes that God,
works through it, such a, nations star
is set in the ascendent. Taken as. a.
whole the people do recognize that.
ana SO, To-Day, they may rightfully be.
thankful as citizens for the character
of this nation.
A the nation breaks into states. and
the states into smaller communities,
so the whole social life is subdivided
into its units. The church is one Of
the greatest Of these units.'
Closing the dean feeling used the
following expressions, God bless this
parish. God bless each family and
each individual in it. God bless our
nation. God bless all the diverse
kindred who are migrating to our
hospitable shores. Gladly today we
unite in praises to the Lord. Gladly
we give unto Him our heartfelt
thanks. Gladly we say that He is
good. Gladly we confess that His
mercy endureth forever
