That is ttie reason your bakings of bread,

New Saw Mill.
L. A. Roberts, C. C. Carter and
J. S. Whlteaker have taken over the
Arneson saw mill, which will
be
run by the new owners and the lo
cal demand for lumber and tim
bers supplied.
L. A. Roberts has
recently purchased the Hughes tract
o f 160 acres, mostly in timber which
lies northeast of the city, and this
Is the timber that the m ill will cut
into lumber. A portion o f the tract
lies handy to the saw mill as
It
stands and this will first be cut,
after which the mill, which la port
able, will be moved to the other
portion o f the tract.
The mill Is
a good one, everything new
and
modern and capable of turning out
almost anything needed In the or
dinary building line.
It has been
difficult for some time for build
ers to get what they need handily,
and If the new company supplies
the lone] ueed they should find a
lot o f appreciative customers.— En
