Flour Mill Putting in Gas Power Plant This week while the editor of the Monitor was out scouting for news he saw a bunch of men working in a hole near Indepen dence Flouring Mill. Being of a curious dispisition he investigated and asked questions in order to find out what was doing. He learned they were putting in a cement tank, in two sections, large enough to hold two cars or from 12,000 to 14,000 gallons of crude oil. He found that this was to be used in the operating of their gas engine plant which they are putting in for power purposes, and which they expect to use to run their mill. This new gas engine has been ordered for several months but the company is back on orders and they just received word a few days ago that the machinery would be shipped about August 20, and they arp now getting in readiness to handle it. Mr, Hoffman stated; "We expect to use crude oil the same as most engines use gasoline and being able to get it very cheap, it will make our running expenses low er than with any other possible to secure." The, new machine is a new experiment in this sec tion but it will be watched with a great deal of interest by large power using concerns. Wm. Herzog to Improve their Store a stock from $15,000 to $20,000 and a large stock of new mens and boys clothing and furnishing will be added to the stock.
