The East Oregonian takes up the local
flour milling industry, where the Gnzette
left off, acd bandies the subject from
the farmers' standpoint iu a manner
sufficiently clear tor any oommnniiy.
The following article from the Bepp
ner uszette on me muring mining
business of the Northwest, is copied by
tbe "Uommeroial Review," Pjrtland,
Oregon, June 8, 1899.
"The Commercial Review, in com
menting on tbe flour milling business
predicts that this Northwest will be one
of tbe greatest milling centers of tbe
United States. Tbe mills of Oregon and
Washington are ooostantly increasing
tbeir oapaoity, and beyond a doubt the
milling veoture of Heppner will win its
share of recognition ; as the United
States acquires new territory adjacent to
tbe Psoifio ooaat it is imperative that
every seotion ot the oountry exert its
vigilenoe and keep its opportunities in
view, or tbe enterprise of distant terri
tory will sweep from us a golden oppor
tunity, binoe tbe mill started up here
a few months ago, tbe ti inr it has pro
duced is of tbe best quality, and those
who have tried it are enthusiastic io
pronouncing it such. Tbe management
of this local enterprise are business men
and appreciate tbe importance ot build
log up a business, on the merits of tbeir
output. Io tbe past tbe downfall of this
mill was dne to tbe eagaoity of foreign
mills in pluoiog a limited supply of flour
in here at a price below that wbiub it
cost to manufacture, imposing an ad
ditional tax upon tbeir local field to
make good tbe deficiency, thereby work
ing the destruction of this mill, affeoling
every business institution within this
territory, thereby depreciating all values.
With this mill out of the way, then oatue
tbeir opportunity to inflate tbe prioe ot
floor and mill teed, and compelling
the farmers to sell tbeir wheat (or ship
ment at a figure that has been very dis
couraging to tbetu, realizing from it
barely tbe cost of tbeir bran and shorts.
Now is tbe time for not only mercbaute
to figure tbe importance ot tbia mill to
tbeir interests, but it is aa important for
tbe farmer to study tbe tame."
Tbe Gbzstte is corrects tar as it goes.
But tbe result of tbe example it oites
alls for further and mare emphatic
comment. Tbe industry under oonsid
eration is ot such vital importance to
tbe farmers, and in fact to all tbe people
f this greatest wheat prodaoiog region,
that much more stress should be litid
poo tbe point raised, than is given it by
tbe Gazette.
A fl mring mill is most desirable to
every business oommnniiy in a wneai
producing oountry. From these mills
the farmer invariably obtains tbe highest
price for his wheat. Tnat tbe prices
paid by tbe buyers for shippers are al
ways stimulated by tbose of the local
mills, no one will attempt to deny. Then
should not the people, and especially
tbe farmers, be vigilant in tbeir encour
agement and patronage ot tbe borne mill?
Has it bot been the experience of all
communities, that where looal mills
have been "ran down" by tbe more
powerful outside mills that all milling
produots bave immediately advauoed in
prioe, and too, to suob an extent, that
tbe oousnmers bave suffdred thereby
mnoh more than tbey were benefitted by
tbe temporary and unnatural reduotioo,
incident 'to the war on the borne pro
duct? It it not true that wbere there it
no local mill to stand between the far
mer audtbe buyers for shipment, wheat
commands a less prioe than at points
where looal mills ars in operation?
Is it not a faot that farmers, anywhere
in Eastern Uregoo ana wssmngion, are
ible always to obtain from to 2 cents
more per bushel for tbeir wheat than
rbote not witbio reach of a miilr Is not
tben, the local mill a neoessity to tbe
farmer? Aud, it to the farmer, is it not
also to every business mm io the oui
mtioitj? It certainly is.
Ao affirmative answer to these import
ant qaestions snggestt another question,
f't: How are we to foster and protect
tbe borne mill? By subsidizing it wben
weai led by shipments ot quantities o(
foreign product into its territory , to be
old by tbe local mercbaut at prices be-
ow the lical mill it able to meet?
Sot by any meant. Tbere is a better,
more natural, more effective way to
meet the emergency. Let every farmer,
every business man, and every family in
tbe whole community stand by tbe bums
mill by giving it every dollar's worth ol
patronage tbey control.
Let all tbe people, and especially we
farmers, withdraw every dollar's wortb
of patronage from tbe merchant wbo
offers foretgo flour at eat rates. Lt
very merchant bo thos stands in with
tbit propostioo, to weaken and destroy
tbe important looal industry, under
stand ttiat be is regarded as a prty to; peratorn
tbe scheme which, while it is oetensibly
directed towtrd tbe local mills, is alto a
direct blow indicted upon tbe vital in
terests of every (srmer anil every loonl
buisues man iu th territory ( tiia
home mill. Lit the merouaut muler-
staud, iu no uncertain (nrm, Ihit
tbe borne mil), and tben will tbe looal
miller feels that tbe people wbom he is
helping ate helping him.
It is true that a large mill occasion
ally has on band a quanity ot product
over and above the demand ot its regu
lar trade. This surplus it is natural tor
tbe owners to desire to dispose ot. But
they cannot do it by shipping suob
quantities ot snob produot as will meet
tbe demands of the trade or em ill com
munities. They doa't pretend this io
be tbe object of tbeir infringement.
The only object tbey can have is to in
jure tbe business of tbe looal mills to tbe
end tbat tbey may have a free field to
the advancement ot tbeir interests when
the weaker mills are no more. Will yon
favor tbe home mill, wbiob favors yon ;
orenoourage a movement tbat injures
it, by buying tbe product of institutions
that are try iug to break down looal in
dustry and enterprise? A Faumep..
HE PLAYED I'OSSOM.
How Private Millard, or Orrgon Volunteer,
Baved His Life.
Morning Oregonian.
San Fbancisoo, July 15 Privets E
B Millard, company M, Second Oregon,
is a plucky boy, and bit Webfoot grit is
all tbat saved him on the night ot April
11, when treaoherons "amigos" held
burning matobes under bis nose, stabbed
him with their bayonets and beat bim
over tbe bead just to make sure be was
dead. Millard was obliging enough to
die for too time being, but he deolared
today at tbe Presidio that he wmild
never again ''play possom" as long aj
he lived.
The young patriot's borne is at Hheri
dan , Or., and every man in his company
likes to tell i f his heroism. He said
today :
"Twelve of us went on guard at mid
night 500 yards from our oamp aoroes
tbe river at Mariloa. Nothing happened
till nearly 3 o'clock. Bennett and I were
on the outpost shift wben we eaw signal
lights from tbe oamp. Tbe enemy bad
orept along tbe river between us aud tbe
camp, and in Ibbs tbao two minutes tbey
"let fly" at us, it Beamed, from all Bide.
"We retreated toward the south to
company F, ruouing along the railroad
track, but bad not gone 100 yards btfore
a dozen men jumped up out of tbe tall
grass and fired a volley right in our
faoes. Privates Berry, Puine and HoiT
man fell dead, and I received a bullet
perforating my leit lung.
"I orawlad over the roadbe I, acrosB a
muddy ditch, and lay still. Pretty soon
a Filipino found me and struck me a
blow on tbe side of the bead with his
gun. I Bmotbered a groao, for I knew
it would be all over if I made a noiee.
Tben two or tbree more came, swore and
threw olods at my bead. Another lit
matches almost under my nose and
would have singed my bair off if it bad
not been for the mud and water. I tried
to bold my breatb. Tben somebody
rolled me over, jabbed bia bayonet into
my abdomen and left. Tbe weapon made
only a slight wound.and I was too much
exhausted to feel it. The next thing I
knew I was in tbe hospital. No more
'possoiu,' thanks."

THR1H MUSTKU OUT.
Why the OreBon Huiment Voted for San
Franeisco.
"What did tbe boys mean by refusing
tbe reoeption tbat Oregon bad prepared?"
This and similar questions were asked !
yesterday of The Oregonian's corre
spondent, when be returned from San
Franoieoo, by a score or more acquaint
ances wbom be met. And it was tbe
first question asked of him. It may
therefore be reasonably inferred tbat
the subject is still uppermost in Port
land's mind.
A fair answer is that most ot tbe regi
ment were "broke and needed tbe
travel pay and Bllowanoe provided b;
military regulations. ' It any otbei
reason existed, it was not in evidence
Remarkable as Ibe statement may seem
to Orpgnnians, who, for six weeks, bave
been bottling up tbeir enthusiasm to be
on tap wben tbe boya came back, not a
single voioa was rnised in tbe regiment
on the transports ngaiust mustering out
in Ibe San Frauoisco. All tbe men
made up their minds before tbey left
Manila. Wben they came off the field
a vote was tHkeo. it stooa isyz tor
muster out in San FranoiBco, and 62 for
muster out in Pordland. Evidently the
small minority ' changed their views
doting their long voyage or felt tbat tbeir
sentiments would be lost in the over
whelming tide tbe other way. Governor
Qeer tried to stem it, but was oarrled
off bis feet in lees than a minute. How
oould any man attempt to tell a crowd
of 800 of the reoeption which awaited
tbem at borne, wben every 10 seconds be
was greeted with a lusty, uoanimons
oborns: "'Frisco, 'Frisco! Muster out
in 'Frisco"?
This happened on tbe decks ot tbe
steamship Ohio within half a minote
after Qovernor Qeer stepped aboard
last Wednesday afternoon. It was ex
aotly the eame on board tbe Newport,
wbere Oeer had a conference with Sum
mers, fully reported by telegraph tht
same evening.
I would like to sHy a word in defense
of the regiment t Dicers and men alike.
Before I get down to it I want to lay
that tbe feeling of disappointement so
deep and widespread in Portland and
throughout the state, is no stronger
than tbe feeling of disapointment in tht
Seoond regiment, wben tbe announce
ment was made to tbem as tbe trans
ports were steaming np Kan Francisoo
bay, that ttfey had been ordered to pro
oeed to Oiegon fi r muster on', Chagrin
marked tvery oounteuance, tbe men in
stantly beohtue sullen, they refused to
talk, rxoept on the subject of muster
out, and would not liaten to liny plan
which involved a loss of their (ravel
pay aud allowance. Let others go into
analysis of motives. I am only stating
the cold facts.
It is oertain that the regiment bad no
oonoeDtion of the welcome which was to
await them. They did not kuo tliBl
the muster out was to make the bright
est ohapter iu the history ot the state,
and tbat each one individually was to
come iu for a share ot the glory; not a
a oommand, but every oue singled out
as a separate object for patriotio grati
tude. They did not koow bow the state
intended to idealize them, to lavish on
them a genuine show of the state's
affeotion, to houor them with plaudits
from full hearts, to make tbem its spec
ial care and' devotion. They did not
oomorehend that their desire to be
mustered out away from borne was akin
in spirit to a son for whom the boms
bad been decorated, the feast prepared
and the best room assigned, deoliuing
the hospitality and going to tbe bouse
of a very distant relative. Tbey did not
learn that a cunmitte had beet, working
bard to see that all tbe returning volun
teers not so provided shoud get locra
tlve employment at the earliest poisibl
moment. Tbey did not know tbat the
state's pride was b mod np in tbem, and
that they were turning Oregon down
Nor did they know ot the piiln Inllioted

Several Stories of Wounded Soldiers, New Ia
tlio Presidio Hospital.
Morning Oregonian.
San Francisco, July 15 No gold braid
Qor bragging out just piatn uregou
heroes were found today at the Presidio
hospital, where the Oregonian oorre-
pondent talked with the wounded pat
riots. Tbe men were reluotant to tell of
their deeds of heroism,, and did to only
by urgent request. Some of them bring
back ugly scars from Luzon, acd others
111 carry Filipino lead in their flesh the
est ot tbeir lives. All, witb slight ex-
options, are rapidly recovering. Here
re tbeir stories:
After carrying nine bleeding comrades
from tbe Held at Malabon, Private O. W.
Spioer, of oompany O, a Portland boy,
tormerly in tbe emnloy ot Wolff &
Zwioker, returned tor tbe 10'h man juat
in time to bave bait bis teeth shot out
by a Mauser bullet. He is proud ot two
ugly Boars that mark either oheek, where
the ball crashed through, tearing out a
pieoe of bis tongue and part of the j iw-bone.
"It just felt like some one had hit me
in the mouth witb his fist," said the
hero. "I fell to the ground, but soon
realized what had happened. I bad been
detailed to take ammunition to tbe front,
and wben I reached tbe lines, I saw
several boys lying on the ground, as I
thought, dying. The officer io command
told me he bad suflioient 'rounds' to last
some time, and with that I began trying
to get tbe wounded back to the hospital.
bad helped to oarry nine men back,
and had returned for another poor fel-
ow, wben I got it myself. I thought for
time it was ail up witb me."
Private C. A. Maroy, ot oompany O,
another Portland hero, is glad he is alive
to tell what happened to bim on tbat
memorable 25th ot March at Malabou.
He will oarry a chunk ot Filipino lead
in bis body when be goes back to Oregon.
"I wbb standing near Spioer wben a
bullet was fired into my abdomen. Juat
tben a ball struok the box of ammunition
close by, causing a terriflo explosion. A
shell and two more bullets tore into tbe
fleshy part of my obest, juat in front ot
and below tbe right shoulder, one ot
them o lining out under the arm. The
other ball is still there. Had it not been
for Spicer, wbo got me to tbe hospital, I
oertaioly would bave bled to death from
tbe wound iu my abdomen. I never felt
such a frightfully burning pain in all
my life."
Private J. A. Bailey, oompany L, of
Asblund, was shot tbree times two balls
shattering bis right arm at Malabou and
third at Pusig wounding bim in tbe
left foot.
"If you ever bad a man beat your arm
witb a big olob, you may know bow two
Mauser bullets feel when tbey oome at
almost the same instant," said Bailey.
C. E. Saodeis, oompany L, whose home
is at The Dalles, just kept on shooting
away and didn't know tbat Filipinos
were pumping lead into bim at every
ohance. Finally be tried to step forward
quickly and then fell to the ground.
"I thought my leg was 'asleep' at first;
somehow or other it wouldn't work; but
I thought little ot that. Then I tried to
run forward a few feet, aud fell dowu.
At the hospital two bullets were taken
from my right leg, wbiob was fractured."
0. 0. L. Snyder, of oompany A, a Mo-
Mioville boy, was shot through the right
side of the obest, tbe bullet coursing out
under the arm, He laid be experienced
a "numb sensalion," aud had no idea
where he was hit, until tbey stripped
bim at the hospital.
Mrs. Colonel Summers iu interview:
"I feel that the Second Oregon volun
teers are all my boys, aud with tbe r ot
I am unspeakably proud ot tbem. I am
happy to know that San Frauoisco hou
ored suob men, but I wish tbat they were
now steaming np the Columbia river.
Colonel Summers looks mucb older, bis
hair having turned white since 1 lsst
taw him. Tbia Is a bappy moment in
my life, and yet when I think of those
dear ones who fell at the trenches"
here the brave wife of a brave busband
paused, and tbe seotenon ended iu
silenae.
Colonel Summers' statement:
" Every man iu the regiment hat
shown himselt a yeterau, and tbe wav
our boys rushed aoross that 5HJ yards at
Malabon, with bullets whizzing from
every direction exoepc tne rear, onai-
lenged tbe admiration of the whole
army. They would charge for 25 or CO
yards, drop aud fire, tben obarge again,
and in tbia way routed tbree timet tbeir
