The Red Crown Mills are again iu
trouble. It seems that tbe company
has used all the wheat stored by
farmers and others, In making dour,
and the warehouse Is empty. Formal
demand bas been made by various

more attachment proceedings have
been started. Criminal porsecutlon Is
throattned against sonic of the officers.
There is a plan on font to settle with
the creditors and to start the milln
again. It Is to lie hoped that the
plan will succeed and further trouble
prevented. The Red Crown Mills
have a wide and favorable reputation
all over the country ond when Mr,
Isom was at the head of it, no concern
stood higher. It is understood that
this trouble will not effect the ware
house here.

The Cctri Bark Industry,
We notice In some of the valley pa
pers an occasional Item In regard to
small shipments of this article. Now
this Industry was Inaugurated in Leb
anon in the year 1883, and since
that time something over tour hun
dred ton have been shipped from this
Utile city alone. In 1898, Dr. Latuber
son and Captain George Pope of Port
laud, bought and shipped 148 tons,
paying an average price of $00 per ton
for the same. A portion of this bark,
also Oregon grape root Is a component
part of Llverlue, which is a Lebanon
enterprise, the members of this con
cern are residents ot Linn county, and
own property here. We are pleased
to note the success of this enterprise in
our city, notwithstanding the fact
that the Albany papers have tbe plant
located there in a large two-stnry brick
building, we-feel assured tbat Llverlue
will grow aud flourish in the manu
facturing city of its birtb. Much credit
is due the general manager, Dr. J. A.
Lambersnn, for the tact and energy he
has shown in the working out, and
his knnwledge-of chemistry of this
difficult problem; In taking three
differeut bitter extracts and com
pounding as sweet and pleaseut a
remedy as he basin this, case. Now
with our pa,r mill, our Excelsior
mill, flour mill, plaining mill, Llver
ine factory and in the near future our
chickory plant and also the distilling
of the oil of the peppermint. We have
good reason to feel proud of our fair
city.
Another Pioneer Gone.
W. R. Temple died at his home near
Rock Hill schoolbouse last Monday,

crossed the plains in 185S and In 1888
located on this farm near Rock Hill
where be bas lived up to the time of
his death. He is tbe father of nine
children, seven of whom and bis wife
still survive him. Mr. Temple was
well known all over the county and
was an honorableman.whose death will
be uuivirsally regretted. He had been
a great suflerer for many years. Rev.

Consolidated Brownsville. -Where
there were two cities,
Brownsville and North Brownsville,
seperuted only by strife and the Cala
pooiarivtr, there is now but one, tbe
people almost unanimously having
voted last Monday to have the greater
obstacle strife; removed. , While
there was but a small vote cast, com
paratively speaking, it was sufficiently
large to show the exact sentiment of
the people. Out of the total of eighty
nine votes cast on the north side,
eighty-eight were for consolidation,
lilenu the south side thirty-three
ouior tniny-nve lavoreci consolidation
As our interests were identical it ap
pears strange that this step was not
taken many years ago. Let tbe old
feuds and strifes of the past never lie
resurrected, but let peace and bar-
ninny reign supreme, and the city of
Brownsville will some day be an
honor to the great state of Oregou
Times.
