WATER SUPPLY IS THREATENED Unless Flames Aro Checked, Flumes of Water Company Supplying Two Cities Will Be Destroyed Volun teers Aro Asked. GRASS VALLEY, Cal., Aug. 20. Despito frantic efforts of a large corps of fire-fiphters. it is feared that before night the flumes of the South Yubu River Water compauy, supplying Grass Valley and Nevada City, -will be destroyed. Residents of the two towns are filling improvised cisterns with water, in anticipation of a possible water famine. Forest Supervisor Bigclow of the Tahoo national forest, has issued a call for volunteers from among the several thousand miners who oper ate tho quartz workings in this coun ty. Two hundred have responded and beforo the day is over it is be lieved that fully 500 fire-fighters will be in the Quaker Hill and Hunt districts. The mining camps of You Bet and Town Talk are in danger from sec ondary fires that have been started by sparks carried from the chief conflagration. The' burned region covers more than 3000 acres. MANUFACTURING THE FLOUR How many people ever visited a flour mill and examined tthe many process used in the manufacturing of flour from the time it goes into the mill in tthe form of wheat to tho time it is placed in the market as flour of the first, second and third grade? If you did go through tthe mill you only saw a very small part of tthe millers, art. This is not an expose, but the writ er spent 2 years in the milling busi nes and frequently merchants would order a private brand of flour put up especially for them, in their own sacks, which were marked highest grade patent, but tho flour would be only second grade. The mer chant was unable to make a profit. WHITE DIAMOND Flour is not put up that way. The mill that puts it out guarantees every sack to be the highest grade and Olmstead & Hibbard guarantee every sack sold to be of tthe best. Every sack sold so far has proven to be first class. Have you tried it? BULK TEAS AND COFFEE Time was when our forefathers bought everything in bulk, and a great many old people will tell you today that you should buy every thing possible in bulk. Now, think a moment. This is an ago of packed goods. There is a reason for all this. The packago goods show more profit Then, isn't it reasonable to suppose that you get more for your money when you buy in bulk than when you buy in package. Wo bolicvo that you cannot beat tho coffee to bo found ut Allin & Allin's, and purchase your tea and coffee and see if you don't think you havo saved money and received a lit tie better goods.
