ARGUE QUESTION
OF CRIST Mill

The members OF the Farmers Union /
of Boomers Ferry were treated TO 1
real poppy" debate at the meeting of
the union held Saturday night at the
Northside schoolhouse when the de- |
baters arose in selfdefense of accu-
sations hurled by their worthy oppon-
ents. Neither side would concede
that their opponents had advanced any
argument at all In fact, they ac-
cused each other of telling stories and
giving a lecture on how to invest
$4,000 to good advantage and of try
ing to camouflage the issue. The
audience, acting as judges. however,
was able to find many interesting
items presented by both sides and the
final vote was in favor of the affirma-
tive.
The question debated was: RE
solved, That it would be for the best
interests of this community to estab
lish a community grist mill in Bon
ners Ferry
A. f. Aldridge and o. H. Campbell
upheld the affirmative while W. F.
Dunning and F. A. Davis argued for
the negative. The affirmative side
contended that inasmuch as this was
farming community and would be
more so as time went on. that any
proposition that would be beneficial TO
the farmers would most assuredly be
to the best interests of the community
A little mill to which the farmers
could take their grain and have 1t
ground would greatly reduce the cost
of feeds and make it possible to use
such feeds for livestock. In answer
to the contention that there was not
enough wheat raised here they stated
that there was enough to keep a small
mill in operation but that that would
not begin to supply the local demand.
If more was desired it would not cost
any more to have the whole wheat
shipped in here for that cost was now
added to what is obtained. The af-
frmatiye presented figures to show the
cost of operation and the amount OF
-four which could be produced and tho
probable returns from the investment.
The contentious of the negative were
that there was not enough wheat OF
good milling quality raised here; that
there was not enough OF other grains
to insure continuous operation; that
an investment of $4,000 In some other
line would be much safer and pro-
ductive of greater returns; that you
cannot experiment with such an
amount of money; that there was not
any cheap source of power and that
the equipment would be very high
considering the amount Of grain to be
handled.
After the debate a general discus.
sion on the question brought out thai
although the people believed it would
be highly beneficial to have mill es'
tablished here they were dubious az
to the possibility Of getting united
cooperation of the community in sucf
a venture-(C ontributed)
