The New Mill
We visited the mill site , this
week and found G. H. Stone,
owner and mill-wright busily at
work getting the plant in readi
ness to turn out flour which he
expects to be able to accomplish
in about thirty days.'
Mr. Stone showed us through
the building and explained much
of the process of cleaning the
wheat and making the flour, but
as our education is limited very
wof ully along that line we are
not capable of telling, it. ,
However there are some things
we learned that may interest the
public,
. The building is 30x40 feet, and
is four stories high and will be
thoroughly equipped with mod
ern machinery and will have a
capacity of fifty barrels of flour
daily, and will be driven by a
thirty horse power electric motor.
The flour will be ground on
modern machinery, three ball
bearing rolls being used in the
process. These ball bearing rolls
being a new process here in the
west there being but two mills
in Oregon and one in Washington
that use this process.
Another maceine that is not
very common in Oregon is ' the
sifter, an invention for taking
the "whiskers" off the wheat.
In this machine the grains pass
between brushes in the cleaning
aid separating process. We are
told that there is but one other
mill in Oregon provided with this
apparatus, that one being located
at Corvallis.
Monmouth has made a start as
a manufacturing town, and if the
same energy is continued there
can be other successes added.

too short on account of the notices
that must be given prior to a

essary to make the proceedings
lawful.
