Missouri Valley Is Plan.

Atchison. Kan, June 2.-When the
contract recently let by the Pillsbury
Mill & Elevator company of Mime
apolis, for remodeling and extending
the big mill purchased here a short
time ago, is carried out, the company
will have the largest flour mill on the
Missouri river, according to an an
nouncement- The mills capacity will
be $500 barrels of flour a day.
The announcement exceeds all pre-
dictions as to how extensively the
company intended to engage in the
milling business here and indicates
that it fully appreciates the advantage
of being close up to the Kansas wheat
fields, reputed to be the most produc-
tive in the world.
The building contract calls for an
outlay of $350.OOO. The project is to
be completed in eighteen months.
Running at capacity the new mill will
use 200 bushels of wheat a day, or
approximately thirty carloads a day.
The elevator plant will include SO
concrete tanks, each 102 feet tall by
Il feet across. Across the top of these
will be built an enormous head house.
76 feet high. making the total height
of the structure 176 feet. This sets
a new record for Atchison's skyline.

and the contractor are now here or
