The purchase of the Garden Valley
mill machinery revives an interesting
story. This Touring mill, most com
plete plant in those days, was built
and owned by a man from Missouri
33 years ago. 1t is located on the
Middle Fork a few miles from the
Garden Valley postoffice and is today
in perfect ondition-building plant
and power plant. No nails were used
in the construction Of the building.
1t was put together with wooden
screws and wooden pegs. The plant
has 35-inch burr stone and an 49,
inch burr. The power plant is equip
ped with water wheel which was ar
ranged to be driven by water from
springs dropping $50 feet. A sawmill
was also part of the equipment.
When the paill was completed, so
the story goes, and before a wheel
was turned, the owner bought up all
the wheat in the country round about
and then ground it into flour. He
then became the original profiteer,
for he put price of $500 barrel on
the finished product, in spite of the
fact that wheat was cheap. But that
is where he made his big mistake, and
that is the reason the wheels of the
mill never turned again from that day
to this.
The settlers were aroused by the
greed of the mill owner. He was or
dered to leave, and noting the threat
ening aspect of the enraged settlers,
he lost no time in doing so. Nor
would the settlers permit him to sell
MS flour, and threatened vengeance
upon anyone who attempted to buy it.
He disappeared completely from view
and no one knows what became of
him.
The property is now owned by a
nan in Missouri, supposed to be an
leir.

one that will always be remem-
bered by the boys as one of the
best in their lives. The boys were
very enthusiastic over the instru-

one of the best bands in the state.
The band instruments are the
second gift to be received from

With the assurance of new

of the business men of Portland

EARLY MORNING
FIRE DESTROYS
S|LVERTON HOTEL

Silyerton, Aug. IS. - Early
morning fire here, discovered
about o'clock in the rear OF the
hotel building, resulted in nearly
total loss of the Silverton hotel
and restaurant property on Oak
between Water and 1st streets
For a time the intensity of the
flames endangered the opera
house building, a large wooden
structure which is located direct
ly across from the hotel, and 9TH
er buildings adjoining. About fif-
teen roomers who were in the ho-
tel made their escape In safety
with the exception of one man
who suffered painful burns about
the neck and ears. The building
was owned by j. e. Hunter of this
city. For the past year it has been
under the management of c. r.
Haywood. who owns the fixtures
and other belongings. II could
not be learned whether or not In
surance was carried on the hotel,
as Mr.. Hunter, the owner. is out
of town. C. r. Haywood gave his
loss at approximately $4,000 with
insurance covering $500. A part
of the hotel building has stood
for nearly fifty years, only re-
Gently 1t having been added to by
the construction of an annex and
also partly remodeled. The volun-
tary firemen of Mt Angel arrived
shortly after their summons al
though by that time the local de-
partment had the flames under
control.
Probably due entirely to wind
conditions, is all that saved the
buildings adjacent and especially |
the opera house from the flames
The cause OF the fire is yet unde-
termined.

How to handle traffic success
fully is the big problem before
motor vehicle and municipal au-
thorities today.
This problem seems to have been
solved TO large degree by the
state of Connecticut. As The gate
way to New England this state
found itself the scene of heavy
motor vehicle traffic and immedi-
ately sought to evolve regulations
to cope with the situation.
The successful operation Of these
cooperative regulations h a 5
prompted Topics of the Day
films, sponsors of the "Fair-Play
On the Highway" campaign, to
publicly praise Connecticut on the
screens of thousands of theatres in
these words:
"The state officials of Connect
cut have done much to bring about
a cordial observance of the motor
vehicle laws of that state by an at
titude of hearty cooperation TO-
ward motorists.
These officials, by their policy
of friendly and courteous treat
ment of tourists do more to elm
mate violations than does the big
stick welded elsewhere. Those in
authority should investigate the
Connecticut motor vehicle laws"
Upon entry into the state of Con-
necticut, the motorist is handed a
card which reads:
Mr.. Motor Vehicle Operator:
"Your safety and convenience is
our duty. We want, need, and mus
have your cooperation to success
fully perform that duty. Please as
