An Interesting Description of the Process in a Looal Mill. n 1 1 1 n 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 it 1 1 n Bread l the staff of life. Without It the human family would be bard put to it for dally food. Take the leaf from Die tAbl, and half the people of the United State would go hungry. No oth er food I o cheap. No other feed gives as much nourishment for the same price, The foundation of nil bread -it flour. And nil good bread depend for its quality on the quality of the flour hM, Very few people understand the moth oda by which ttie flour Is wado from wheat, ami it was with this idea in view that tho Journnl representative had n ohat the other day with Mr. W. 1 Dab coek, agent of tho Salem Flouring Mills Co., under whew Management these mills have had a very prosperous sea eon. After a general talk' en the floor mar ket and the various places to which the SalemTIaurlng Mills ship their, product, Mr. Balteoek made a trip through t4t mill and jmve a very interesting de serlptien of the various preeeMot through whisk the wheat wont before it was turned Into fletir. Through Uio Mill. Commeueing wltk the recaption of the wheat at the will, an inspection of the entire mill wa made, and tho wheat traeed front the oar, team or boat to tho flour seek and back to the oar again. The Salem Flouring Mills ara so sit uated that they ean resolve their wheat by water, rail or team. Teams are used by farmers living toe close to make it neeesaary to have the common carriers, handle it. For the purpose of eeeiving the wheat tho mill has two warehouses. Oa of those Is next the railway traek, ami has a capacity of lta.000 bushels. At this warehouse all grain brought U) rail or toam ia received. Next the river a smaMer warehouse of 40,000 bushels eapaeity receive the wheat arriving by boat. How Wheat Ia Cleaned. After the wheat has been received at the mill It ia turned into the first set of eleanera. 'Hera the roughest of the dirt, ouch as sand or grains of another variety, are takes from it. It then goes through & seeond set of cleaners, fand there is thoroughly eleanad for I manufacturing into fleur. After this ; second cleaning, the wheat" goes to the first sot of rollers, where it is orushed and partly ground. All of tho ma chinery in the mill is frem the Nor dyke Mormon On., and all of it is of the I latest model. The mill has altogether ; seven stands of rollers for the grinding of flour, besides equipment fer handling bran and shorts, and other by-products .of the flour. When the wheat has gone through the first grinding process, it goes to the ; eifters, of wkiah there are three, one , swing and twe square. These sifters are on the third floor, and separate the bran and shorts from the partly ground wheat. The bran and shorts are then , carried to bins, front which pipes lead to automatic sack fillers. The Last Grinding. The wheat is thea carried oa to the last set of rollers, where it is ground to the necessary fineness. The mill manufactures several grades of flour, and it is in these last rollers that the grade ia determined, according to the degree of fineness to which they are adjusted. After the flour has been ground it goes to a number of large bins, from whonce it is fed into automatic feeders. Th wo feeders are so arranged that when 40 pound of flour bat been put into the sack they stop the feeding un til another sack baa been adjusted to the funnel. So closely do these feeders regulate the supply that they very sol dem vary two ounces from the oxact weight, Hash sack an it comes from the feeder is put on a scale, And) any varia tion from the correct weight is noted and corrected. The sack is then sowed and ready for shipment. A feature of tho Salem Flouring Mill that strike the visiter is tho largo number of wooden tube running from floor to celling on each floor of tho building. When asked about them, Mr. Babeeek explained that the larger ones (about 8 Inches wido by 4 Inches deep) oarrled tho wheat automatically from tho warehouses to the dlfforent ma chines. Others wero used for convoying tho bran and shorts, others fer earrylng tho fleur. It in unnecessary to touch a hand to tho wheat from tho time It loaves the warehouse until It is In the flour naok. A Mill Without Dust. Hut there wero a number of smaller tube that were not usedi for either of the above jurpeie. These wore dust carriers. By a eastern used in the mill, all dust is oarrled trn the machines to a central point on. the upper floor, and from there taken automatically to the basement. Duet has been eliminated frem the mill, and no one geing through need fear fer his clothing. The mill is run by water power, a force of XX) keree-pewer being devel oped frem the mIM race which passes through Salem and into the mill. With this power net enly is all the machinery of the mill operated, but the company also operates its own. electric light plant, thus eeeaomialng very musk when night werk ia' neeeseary te Mil orders. Wild Itoso Flour. The mill baa a capacity ef M0 barrels ef fleur cask day, and ships fleur to all points ef the Willamette Valley. Vor title business, Mr, Babeeek explained, they manufacture a special brand ef fleur ef higher grade tban that made fer export. They have given to this quallts- the name ef WILD EOSE FLOUR, and it ia bandied by ovory greeer ia Salem, as well as by the great majority of dealers in Marlon and the neighboring counties. Bveryene who uses it recommends it very highly, and the demand fer it is steadily increasing. It is akso shipped to points outside the state, even as far as British Columbia, For expert purposes the Salem Flour lag Mills make several grades of flour, and these are put up under different brandk. A few names, selected from a large number, are the follewing: Pa godu, Saew Flake, Sales Steamer, Bugle, Rooster, Stork and Green- Girl. China and Japan are the principal for eign markets supplied; The mill is also equipped with a bar ley roller fer rolling feed barley, and the farmers have found this a great convenience. As a protection against fire, standplpes in each building lead the water from the city water system to the roof, thus enabling the firemen to got water to any part of tho buildings very quickly. Mr. Babeeck is te be congratulated on the splendid manner in whioh the busi ness ef these mlWs has been built up, and the successful way in which it is handled. The output this year has not been as high as usual, owing to the shortage in the local supply of wheat and the impossibility to secure cars from the railway for transportation of wheat from distant points. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 m 1 1 1 a 1 1 1 1' i A Modern Livery Stable. I I I I II i I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 1 I 1 1 I One of the places that indicate the substantial progress being made in Sa lem Is the Fashion Stables, on High street, directly opposite the eourthouse. These stables were formerly known as Simpson's Stables, but since Mr. Chas W. Yannke has reehristoned1 thorn they have had a continually Increasing pat ronage. Owing to the necessity fer mora room Mr. Yannke has lately made n number of Improvements and additions. The stables have been renovated through, out and so arranged that tho work onn be done to mush bottor advantage than formerly. This insures patrons the quickest possible norvloo. If eno Is to judge by the largo number of horses to be seen in the stalls every day, the traveling public has not been long lit finding this out, Mr. Yannke has also been adding to h equipment fer livery purposes, And it will be hard to And a more up-tedntc lot of buggies nnd earrlages er a bettor ntalde of styMsh horses. The oab serv ice connected with these stables has al ways been- popular, but Mr. Yannke is in n better position than ever to give prompt service In this department ef his business. Ho also makes a specialty of funeral turnouts, And knows just what la needH-on such occasions. It will bo interesting for anyono who has tho tlmo to pay a visit to Tho Fash Ion and sco what n modern stable looks like. Such a visit will afford tho op portunity of aeolng so mo splendid driv ing horses. Mr. Yannko has a large patronago from commercial travelers, who go from Salem to the surrounding towns by team.

As they buy in large quaaMtle, they are aide j to meet any competition and to sell at too very lowest priees. A vty Important part ef the business ef this firm la the handling of prunes. During the past four months TtHsea & Co. have paid out upwards ef $1W,000 to the farmers tttr prunes and to their employes in the extensive prune peek ing establishment which they carry en. All this money is put In circulation in Balem and Its vicinity, and baa ma terially aided In making the past year a preiqterees ens. The prune frhipsneats made by Tillsen & Oa. go to nil parts ef the United States am) Uanada, nnd their Webfeet bra m) is ksMwv wherever good prunes are sold. Their prune peeking plant handles mere prunes than any ether in Mm state.

It Is a wetl-knewn fact that wherever nursery stock grew wees fuMy general farm crops de well, andf if it were net true that nursey stock gewn here Is superior to that grown In ether eeetJen, It would be iMpaseible to exteml the business as has been dene.
