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,
