MAN KILLED AT DoGDEN ..
! LAST SUNDAY EVENING

A telephone message to Sheriff
Hendricks and States Attorney vii.
liams on Monday called them to Dog
den to investigate a murder case.
It seems that Anton Colvin and his
daughter Julia went over to the Alex
Panasuk farm, which adjoins theirs,
and got into dispute over some hors-
es. The men got to fighting and Julia
got a gun and took over to where the
fight was going on. Alex Panasuk was
shot in the neck and died instantly.
The only witnesses were the wife and
child OF the man who was murdered.
Z The shooting took place just at
dusk about 40 rods from the house.

To Our Patrons:

look Tor next year is that the acreage will
be doubled over this year. We have paid
the farmers thousands of dollars this year
Tor their crops, and all this money has been
Kept at home and spent here, instead of
gong to the outside. This is our idea of
cooperation: We spend our money with
the farmers for their grain and that grain
we make into flour expecting the people to
BUY the flour made from home grown grain,
and the money the people pay us goes di-
rectly back to the farmers for more grain,
this keeping it at home
The dry farmed wheat raised in Elko
county Especially Metropolis district) is
conceded to be the best in the United States
and this is the grain from which our flour
is made. The Metropolis district specializes
IN Turkey Red wheat, and we have taken
their entire crop, paying them the highest
market price in cash. Thousands of bush
els have been raised in Ruby, Starr, South
Fork and Lamoille, most all of which we
bought, thus giving the farmers home mar

The Elko Milling Company, which was
Incorporated and taken over by local parties
little more than year ago, is rapidly
gaming the confidence of the public and
the sale of their -four has increased to such
an extent that the mill is now running to
It's full capacity. The first year we were
handicapped by the fact that we were COM
PEELED to ship in wheat from Utah, Idaho,
Lovelock, Nevada, and the campaign of con-
Vlnclng the public that our flour was as good
as that manufactured and shipped in from
other states, took considerable time. The
farmers were raising only sufficient wheat
Tor their own use for feed, as the freight
rates prohibited them from shipping their
gram to outside market and competing with
grain raised near the mills But when we
assured them that we would take every
bushel of grain they could raise and pay
them the market price in cash, they began
planting, and this season five times as many
acres were planted as last year, and the out

ket for their wheat. This is one of the bene-
hts the mill is giving the people of Elko

We have taken over the mill at Lee and
all the grain raised in that section finds a
market at that mill We are now consider
ing the installation of an addition to the
Lee mill, consisting of special machinery for
making alfalfa meal which is in great de-
mand throughout the east. This will give
the farmers of that valley market for
every pound of alfalfa they can raise at a
good price.
But for any enterprise to succeed it
must have the support Of the public. We
ask the cooperation of the people of this
county, and that they buy the products of
our mill, which is manufactured from the
grain raised here at home. Our flour is
superior to any and costs no more The
money you pay for flour goes directly back
to you, whereas. if you buy flour manu-
featured by mills in other states, the money
goes out. of the community forever.

Names Of Dealers

Mixed Feed, consisting of a mixture of
bran, shorts, middlings and superfine flour,
IS used for number of purposes. Mixed
with a small percentage of salt it makes
an excellent feed for fattening cattle, and
when fed to mich cows produces an abund-
ance of milk. BY making a mash, adding
red pepper, is fine for chickens. Mixed with
salt and water, and allowed to stand until
sour, is excellent for hog feed, and gives
the best results with the least expense
In order that our flour can be readily
obtained by the people of Elxo county, we
have made arrangements with the leading
merchants and dealers throughout the
