WATER SUPPLY
IS THREATENED
Unless Flames Aro Checked, Flumes
of Water Company Supplying Two
Cities Will Be Destroyed Volun
teers Aro Asked.
GRASS VALLEY, Cal., Aug. 20.
Despito frantic efforts of a large
corps of fire-fiphters. it is feared
that before night the flumes of the
South Yubu River Water compauy,
supplying Grass Valley and Nevada
City, -will be destroyed. Residents of
the two towns are filling improvised
cisterns with water, in anticipation
of a possible water famine.
Forest Supervisor Bigclow of the
Tahoo national forest, has issued a
call for volunteers from among the
several thousand miners who oper
ate tho quartz workings in this coun
ty. Two hundred have responded
and beforo the day is over it is be
lieved that fully 500 fire-fighters
will be in the Quaker Hill and Hunt
districts.
The mining camps of You Bet and
Town Talk are in danger from sec
ondary fires that have been started
by sparks carried from the chief
conflagration. The' burned region
covers more than 3000 acres.
MANUFACTURING
THE FLOUR
How many people ever visited a
flour mill and examined tthe many
process used in the manufacturing
of flour from the time it goes into
the mill in tthe form of wheat to tho
time it is placed in the market as
flour of the first, second and third
grade?
If you did go through tthe mill you
only saw a very small part of tthe
millers, art.
This is not an expose, but the writ
er spent 2 years in the milling busi
nes and frequently merchants would
order a private brand of flour put
up especially for them, in their own
sacks, which were marked highest
grade patent, but tho flour would
be only second grade. The mer
chant was unable to make a profit.
WHITE DIAMOND Flour is not
put up that way. The mill that puts
it out guarantees every sack to be
the highest grade and Olmstead &
Hibbard guarantee every sack sold
to be of tthe best. Every sack sold
so far has proven to be first class.
Have you tried it?
BULK TEAS
AND COFFEE
Time was when our forefathers
bought everything in bulk, and a
great many old people will tell you
today that you should buy every
thing possible in bulk.
Now, think a moment. This is an
ago of packed goods.
There is a reason for all this. The
packago goods show more profit
Then, isn't it reasonable to suppose
that you get more for your money
when you buy in bulk than when you
buy in package.
Wo bolicvo that you cannot beat
tho coffee to bo found ut Allin &
Allin's, and purchase your tea and
coffee and see if you don't think you
havo saved money and received a lit
tie better goods.
