MODERN PLANNING
MILL EQUIPMENT
At LOCAL PLANT
Dry Climate Makes il Advisable
TO Use Product Of Local
Mill.

The possibilities of the local plan
ing mill in the manufacture of Of
flee furniture, filing cases, cabinets,
etc, are little known to most Grand
Junction people, and in the near flu
ture plans win be announced for
the broadening of the field of the
plant until it will become an i'm
portant factor among local indus
tries.
The mill represents an investment
OF more than 10000 and Is modern
in every particular. Each machine
is equipped with an individual cleo
trio motor and the mill is able to
turn out on short notice a wide va
riety of wood work.
moving argument in favor of
having this work all done In Grand
Junction is the fact that the woods
used here have all been air-dried for
weeks before being brought into the
mill while the dry climate of this
section quickly opens up the woods
used by eastern mills.
More and more the trend of the
modern business man Is to have his
wood work done according to speci-
/ fications and not to stock designs.
/ This makes 1t important that the
/ work should be done as near home
as possible, so that any imperfec-
tions in the dsign may be remedied
with minimum of expense
I Some of the best examples of the
work of the Home Manufacturing
4 Investment Company are the
I fountain fixtures at the c. d. Smith
Drug Company's Fourth street store
the interior finishings in the Elks
building and the office desk Just
completed for V. C. Garms & Com
pany All this work was done in
competition with eastern mills.
Interest in the use of home prod
ucts should move every citizen Ia
give the local concern an opportuni-
/ ty to figure on his wood work.

The Empress OF Ireland had a full

was the time in which to warn the
passengers that the number of life
boats mattered but little. The
screams of women and children We're
heard from every part OF the vessel.
The passengers in the steerage for
some reason seemed to stand the
best chance for making their escape.
So far as can be learned at this time
conditions We're as orderly as could
be expected under the circumstances
and practically no acts of cowardice
had been reported.
The vessels struck each other alb
solutely without warning. the sea
was calm. Very few if any of the
first class passengers were even able
to leave their staterooms. Capt.
Kendall was asleep at the time of the
collision.
owing to the fact that the surviv-
ors are scattered on many vessels it
will be several days before the full
number of dead is known.
1t is not believed that a single life
was lost from among the crew of the
Storstad but that vessel is almost a
total wreck.
No attempt has been made at this
time to place the blame. Many of
the survivors are expected to reach
