The Minnesota Lake mill has again
changed hands, T. l.. Rodgers having
sold the same to the Western Realiza-
tion company Of Minneapolis, says
The Minnesota Lake Tribune. Mr..
Rodgers took over the property a lit
tie more than a year ago and spent
several months building up and re-
pairing Il. The machinery had been
standing idle for a considerable time
and was in very poor condition. After
getting everything in shape, the mill
was started and turned out very good
-four. Mr.. Rodgers also endeavored
to make arrangements TO put in an
electric generator and furnish light
and power to the village. Finding
the marketing of his product to be
no easy task, Mr.. Rodgers again
closed the mill, and accepted the Of
fer of the Minneapolis firm and dis
posed Of the property.
Mr.. Rodgers will return to Rapidan
and give his attention to the cultiva-
ton of fruit ranch at that place.
The Tribune has not learned def.
initely what the new firm expects to
do with the mill but understands that
they would make still further i'm
provements and endeavor to put on
the market a product that will be as
good as the best. A representative OF
the firm is expected to arrive here
within a few days and plans. will
then be formulated to get the ma
chinery into operation.

Grain Held Firmly.
(By Joseph T. Pritchardl

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Smaller receipts
Of wheat are looked for at the south
west as well as at the northwest. 1t
is expected by those in position
to know that the chances are for farm
ers holding more tightly to their sur
plus, as we'll as for country elevators
to refuse the bids now being sent out.
Sentiment is more bullish on wheat
than at any time since the war broke
out, especially among those in control
of the actual grain. Many million
bushels of wheat were sold abroad
during the first stages of the war
and holders in the interior have sold
freely on all the hard spots to de-
velop. 1t is now believed that with
. partial letup in the selling higher
prices must be paid in order to secure
the grain now wanted.
