MoNoroi i.iNU Stkaw.-T he straw paper mill near Lebanon, w hich is about com pleted, has seemingly outflanked the straw mill here by contracting for three years for all the available straw in that "region. ' In the spring the Crown mill had to run on noodpulp, because the straw was all gone, a predicament in which the Lebanon mill does not intend to lie caught. The Crown mill is now fnrninv out nunntities of inanilla pai.fr. of which it b.is a large stock ready for the market. The difficulty under which any straw mill labors is that there is a straw mill trust which controls both prices and o.itpnt. The combine is powerful and to fight it would not be safe. Kvery straw mill, therefore, manu factures only bo much in such a time, and next doeB something else.
