only be made when it appears u~g-
ent or necessary to reduce an un-
warranted amount Of stock at the
mill
Quality Question
Because Of the lack of proper
equipment the manufactured Elo-
duct has proved unsatisfactory and
difficult to sell We find reports
from selling agents reading as fol-
lows:
When they were in the market
referring to Semolina buyers) we
submitted your samples Of Semolina
and quotations at that time, but
your quality was so poor compared
to the other samples that we were
outclassed."
Our products are inferior because
not properly purified.
Additional Machinery
This situation is without justifca-
ton and Injuries the reputation of
the mill. The superior grade OF
durum should, and if the mill were
properly equipped, would mean a
superior manufactured product, and
one that ought to sell more readily
than the products of other plants.
Our product should be equal at least
in sample and better in quality to
that of competitors. This would
mean greater demand and higher
price. To remedy this evil addition
al purifiers should be installed which
would cost approximately $4,000.
This machinery should have Eeen
provided in the first instance. 1t is
necessary TO improve the grad >of
the manufactured products, as well
as TO increase the percentage of
Semolina. which we consider essen
tial if this department OF the bust
ness is to yield a profit. Should it
later be decided to change this unit
into hard spring wheat unit this
would not have to be dis
carded; it is standard type, and
would be necessary and suitable for
the hard wheat irto
-four.
Continue Milling
If the board should be of the opin-
that the manufacture of du,um
wheat should be continued, and your
committee believes that this should
be done for the present, then we
further recommend that the n.ces-
sary new equipment referred to in
this report be installed in time for
fall deliveries for 1924. That Eu
ropean markets he resorted TO Only
when it becomes, necessary to - re-
duce unwarranted accumulation of
surplus stock at the mill. That every
effort be made to secure more IA
vorable transit rates from the rail-
roads in the state on durum grain
shipped to the mill, and on the
manufactured products to market.
That every effort be made to build
up and establish domestic markets
for the output of the mill, to the
end that Il regular patronage and
customers shall be procured, and
thus eliminate the evils of the pres
cnt marketing methods.

gradually and without creating an
uproar in the department. The
mayor and myself have definitely
decided that the general shakeup
shall be discarded"
A week ago Severyns started a
strong campaign against the pro,

the mayor. and the abandonment OF
the shakeup is hailed as a swecpins
victory for Severyns by city hall
politicians and police officials.
That complete harmony exists

the assertion OF Severyns Monday
There win be no further changes
made In the department without
the sanction OF both the mayor and

The self-annointed Soomons of the republicans put
into the state party platform a power plank that

The republicans did not indorse the right of cities to

action. But they couldn't help themselves The private
power interests which desperately fighting the

Tacoma, had sufficient control in the convention to
block the consideration of a real power plank
And the private power folks didn't care whoop about
the plank that adopted in the last few minutes of
the meeting.
