Consumer of Home
Products Active In
Milling Industry
The Pioneer Flouring Mill' com
pany, with headquarters maintained
in Island City, is the modern repre
sentative of an Industry that was
liven birth here 68 years ago. In
addition to the large mill located In
Island City, the company operates the
La Orande Milling company, the Un
'on Flouring Mill company, the El
fin Flouring Hill company. A num
ber of warehouses are also owned and
maintained throughout the county.
Home grown groin Is' utilized by
the company for Its products, and an
Industry of great importance to this
district has been created. Not only
does It provide a large payroll for
workmen, but. It also handles the
farmers' wheat, giving them the op
portunity to avoid attempting to
reach distant markets with conse
quent difficulty in handling en
route, etc.
The flour made Is of a superior
grade, proven, beyond a doubt by the
fact that thousands of barrels are
purchased annually in Boston, , New
York. California and other distant
markets.
When operating at full capacity,
the mills employ approximately 30
men and the payroll amounts to
about $50,000 per annum. .
While production at the present
time is not up to, the capacity of
tho plants, they are capable of manu
facturing approximately 650 barrels
per day. The mills at La Grande and
Elgin are operated by electricity, but
the two at Island City and Union
depend on water power, with electric
ity resorted to when water in - the
streams fall below the required levels
to Insure adequate power.

How much of the many claims that
have been mado for the ultraviolet
light generated by so-called sun lamps
Is really valid?
An interesting light upon this
question has been shed by n set of
fegulatlcns to govern advertising of
ultraviolet generators recently adop
ted by the American Medical associa
tion. It appears that the ultraviolet rays
have a preventive and curative effect
on rickets, on Infantile tetany, ortd
on osteomalacia (a disease condition
in which the bones become gradually
softened).
