BUILDING MILL
FOR NI'Z.i,tIELL
E. !. SHERWOOD STARTS WORK ON
FLOUR MILL HERE. .-ADY TO
WORK JANUARY f.-FiRSf
HERE IN TEN WEARS

After existing for nearly ten years
without supporting any sort of man
nfactury of wheaton products, one of
the principle crops of this section.
Mitchell and Dawson county will have
a new flour mill, probably in operation
during Tile early part Of the coming
year.
This newest project in Mitchell Is
promoted by partnership, the leading
member OF which is Edward j. Sher-
wood: Who the other member Of the
firm is, Mr.. Sherwood would not an
nounce today. Full statement Of the
plans of the new company will be
issued later, he said.
Construction on the new mill, which
will stand on the present site of the
Minneapolis Brewing company wares
house on Burr street, began Monday,
when men began eXcavating the base.
ment.
The mill will have 50-barrel ca
pacity, and will be constructed with
the end in view of increasing the size.
In dimensions 1t will be 40 feet high,
so feet long and 80 feet wide. q.
Complete by Jan. 4
The structure will be frame stand
ing on a cement foundation, and will
be built by January 4, 1918. Mr..
Sherwood anticipates.
The most modern machinery avail
able will be installed as soon as the
building itself is finished and opera
ton should commence early so as to
catch much Of the fall wheat, which
at that time will be in good condition
for flour manufacture. ~
Mr.. Sherwood said they were un-
nPntQln nc. m ftrNf IL 1,n
used, but that 1t would probably be
electricity. Other source OF power
in Mitchell, he said, are Improbable,
and water power of course is out OF
the question entirely.
To Get Local Farm Trade
Concerning the trade that the mill
will cater to, Mr.. Sherwood said:
"Although the mill will start in a
comparatively modest way, we con-
siderd it large enough to fill the de-
mands Of the farmers in Dawson coup-
ty, who have been without a flour man
|ufacturing and wheat goods plant for
nine or ten years. 1t will be a. ous-
tom milling concern for farmers OF this
section in PARTICULAR
1t is probable that the mill will grow
INTO large concern In few Yeas,
talthougk Mr.. Sherwood and hiss silent
partner are stepping into the venture
with the skepticsm Of several farmers
and business men of the county fol-
lowing them. f IA
Considered Dubious Speculation
] Several business men have said that
ia flour mill would not pay here. but
Mr.. .SherWood's firm believes that the
work will be successful. AS to the
cost of the enterprise Mr. Sherwood
would make no statement. He said
that it was uncertain as yet what the
mill would cost. Si9
Mitchell has had no flour mill since
the one operated by X. S. Christian
son. burned to the ground about ten
lyears ago.
