growth of beard; his shoes and trou-

shirt was seen TO be little more
than a rag which clung to him damply.
For two days and nights he had

hours he had tramped three times as

The moment the woman saw him

in her bosom, and with a little low

THE CORONA.

The Corona is known as "The Per-
sonal Writing Machine" This porta-
bic typewriter weighs but six pounds;
in it's case nine pounds. 1t is durable,
light enough and small enough to be
carried anywhere, strong enough to
stand every possible condition of US
age and produce work equal to any
machine on the market. The United
States Army bought 1850 Coronas
during its participation in the war,
and more than 5000 Coronas were
purchased by individual soldiers and
sailors. Owing to it's lightness, the
Corona is a special favorite with the
women. Costs less than half the US
ual typewriter price. Ask for catalogue
or free demonstration. Sold on pay
ments if you desire.
Quite a number of Coronas are in
use in Missouri Valley, and many
more machines will be in use here
when the people become acquainted
with the famous little typewriter. The
fine carrying case, Eastwood covered
with black, fine grain fabrikoid, is
given free with each machine.

Valley MILLS CLOSED

The Valley Mills, owned and oper.
ated by G H. Deur, have closed, ow-
ing to a number Of circumstances.
For some time Mr.. Deur has been dis
posing of many of his interests, oxH-
ing to failing health and a desire To-
throw off the cares Of business and
enjoy himself, with his family. i'm
California. An effort has been made
for the past year to dispose of the
property, but without avail, and the
decision was finally reached to close
both the mill and elevator. L. j.
Deur, who has been manager Of the
mill for the past several. years, will
become identified with the lumber
yard.
In 1876 S. L. Berkeley & Co. erected
what was styled the Phoenix FIGURING
Mills, moving the same here from
Magnolia and located them on Nc
Gavren street, in the northwest part
of town.
In 1879 the mill was burned to the
ground but was Immediately rebuilt
and sold to Mathew Blenkiron, who
in turn sold the property to L. M.
Kellogg In 1882 haIf-interest in
the mill was sold to A. Edgecomb,
who had been operating the same.
In 1901 the building again caught
fire and burned to the ground. This
time it was rebuilt on Ninth and On
tario streets where trackage was
available. About this time C. H.
Deur took over the interest of L. M.
Kellogg and the institution was sue
cessfully operated by Mr.. Edgcomb
and Mr.. Deur until 1905 when Mr..
Deur purchased Mr.. Edgecomb's in
terest. Since that time Mr.. Deur
has operated the mill successfully
with his son. L. ]. Deur as manager.
It is too bad that is was found nee
essary to close the mill as Cream Of
the Valley flour was more widely
known than any other Missouri Val
ley product, but we hope the institu-
ton may again be opened at some fu-
ture date.

While attending the races at the
Fairgrounds Thursday, William Pow

touring car stolen. He had parked
the car near the drinking fountain,
north of the Floral hall, and after the

The car carried a Dealers license
number, as it had been recently pur-
chased. Several parties saw two
strange young men driving the car
up Erie street, but, of course, had no
knowledge that it was stolen car.
The police got busy on the job soon
after, but as yet there is no clue to
the identity of the thieves.
