barrels of -four in Valley City. This
means that 2,2500CO bushels of wheat
are every twelve months made into
flour in Valley City, which is more
than in any other place except Mime
apolis and Seattle. The payroll is in
excess Of $4,000 per month, or 100000
a year. TO encourage clean seed and
better grain the company cleans free
of charge the seed wheat of any farm
er who brings it to the mill.
The mill furnishes a market for
5000 bushels of wheat every day, or
$4,000 is expended every day for raw
material. Such an institution reflects
great credit on the ability of Valley
City to care for the large commercial
institution.

Jose Aguila Blanco Is the Mexican
translation Of White Eagle, the name
having been bestowed upon him as q
child by his parents In the Yaquis val
ley, Mexico. the place where he was
born.
The opera that White Eagle is writ
ing is an Indian love lyric derived
from the legends told him as child
by his aged Indian mother. There
viii be eight people In the cast, and II
will be q weird. fantastic thing, full
of the Indian romance and wonderful
scenic effects with the Indian music
and dancing. Arden Allen Is arrang-
ing the music.
Among the dances will be the
wedding festival" dance, jollifca-
tion practiced by the Indians in cele-
brating the marriage ceremony. The
dance Is given In honor Of the bride
and groom. As rule upon occasions
OF this kind the best dancers Of the

White Eagles career has been most
interesting. In the early 'S0s he was
