THE MODERN FLOUR MILL MANY COMPLICATED MACHINES Rumbling Stones Heard no Mil re Si, 000 Worth of Silk in Plant Capacity, 2.1 Sacks an Hour. Have you ever lieen through a flour milir if you nnven't and are oontem platina doinu so nut on votir ovnrutls. The Glaolor man weut through oue recently aud when he emerged he had enough flour ou his olothes to lust his family a week. However that has nothing to do with tbe fact that milling lias decidedly changed since the dnys when we were wont to couple tbe mill with its big rumbling mill stones aud ponderous a nter wheel, lu its ' luce we have the roller process for mul ing flour, bran, middlings, bretikfnHt fond', etc. Tbe Cascade Mill in this city is rep resentative of the modern mill of to day. It is capulila of turning out 2,'i sacks of IK iir an hour weighing "M pounds. Ibe whole wheat is stored in a Isrge biu ou the top floor of the mill and runs first through a machine that clonus it of smut uiul dirt. It then run through an apparatus that is called a guugiug nuicbiue which oau be set to allow just so man; pounds of wheat to pass through it iu a minute. From here it goes to the tirst set of rolls, of which there are seven, each one taking off the differ ent produots such as bran, uiiddliiigH, etc., and leaving the finer grades ol flour to go on its way to the boiling maohino where it passes through IKi silk sieves und is finally sacked iu the receiving room ou the first floor of the mill. Tbero is over . 41,000 worth of silk in this mill wit h me lies exact ly the sume size and it whs nil made by hand. In additiou to nil this the wheat and flour puss through countless spouts aud machines for making it as perfect as tbe ingenuity of man can dorvihe. One of these is the dust machine which collects the dust thrown off from the grinding wbeut and separ ates it from the flour; another is an apparatus with mugnets iu it to at tract any bits of metal that may have been loosened und is passing arouud a a , round through tbe spouts aud machinery aud otherwise gut into the flour. The pet machine of the mill is the main bolter. It is nn immense affair mid in iik 08 1 80 revolutions a miuute. Ther is only one other machine of this kind on tbe Pacific coust. It was manufactured by Nordy & M.'mon and is the most modern machine of its kind in eyiutauee. Tbe power for the mill Is supplied by a Peltou water wheel three foot in diauiotor and mukiug tiHD revolutions a miuute. The fall of water at this point is :!"K1 feet and au eight Inch pipe is all that Is noedod to supply the wheel ou account of this tremen dous fall, witn nn inch and a quarter outlet. This water is supplied from Jos. A. Wilsou's power plant. Last mouth this mill tilled a con tract for 8,IXK) sucks of Uor for export and this mouth has begun to fill an other oue or the same amount, it is interesting to uote that this flour goos to J spun and is kuown iu tliu mill as the lied Horse brand ou accout of the fact that it caunot be distinguished in any other way, as the bug contain ing it Is covered with Japanese char acters priute 1 iu rod ink which the mill hands are unable to decipher. Two horsos rampant, appear ou tbe center of the bag, hence tlio name, Red Horse. This firm also manufactures graham flour, farina, whole whout, corn meal and other breakfast foods put up in ten pound sacks. To install this plant cost 125,000 and the quality of tho flour is said to be equal to that made anywhere in tbe world. Tbe firm of Btranahau & Sheets is bbo doing large flour and feud busi ness in Hood liivor aud although they have no mill here they did more busi ness during tbe past month than they have at any time since the firm bus been lu existence. Their business is wholesale exclusively and is confined more or less to the local trade. The mills represented by this firm are lo oated at The Dalles, which is tho out let of the wheat growing country in this reiiiou. Their U olden Crown flour is made especially for the Hood liivor trade, from hard wheat, and is huving big sale, See Europe If You Will, Hut See America First. A circular ) -tter sent out by the Commercial Club, ol al- Luke City, is attracting it great deal ot fuvoruble notice and culls attention to some facts and flg uus that should interest every American, and is of particular interest to ie.-ldeutH west of tbe Mis. sissippi river. In part it is as fol lows: We beg leave to invite your atten tion to tbe movement inaugurated by tbe Commercial Club of this city look ing to the diversion into western channels of a art of the-tide of tour ist travel now flowing from America 1. i.i to Ejtirope. A consurvetU-o ettknnto, made by reliable authorities, pi ccs the amount of inonoye.vp ndod in foreign countries ! during the teuton of l!XH-5 by Ameri can siglitseeis at gl.y),00U,000. The great turn was paid iu large part by men and women in search of health, pleasure or recroutiou, who, though natitc to tho United States, were in comparative ignorance of tbe sceulo, oliuinlio and industrial advan tages of that portion of our country ly-. Ing west of the Mississippi river. It will we think be readily admitt ed that any material part of tbe amount named above, if spent in westein communities, would not only make for their great financial better ment aud upbuilding, but would most d sirably exeud and increase the gen eral knowledge of what this important section of tho nation has to offer to tbe seekers for beultb, amusement, recreation or investment, who now crowd foreign capitals aud (leasure resorts. We understand, of course, that tbe old world will always draw to itself many thousands of our people because of ita historical and religious Inter est, its scientific, artistio and musi cal advantages, and we admit that this is : roper aud desirable; but we do believe that America, and particu larly the western portion thereof, la entitled from all tbe standpoints of interest to more attention from a cer tain class of Americans than it bus heretofore received. As conditions now exist many of our people are heaid raving over the beauty of tbe Trossachs, the glory of the Kbino, tbe magnificence of the Alps, who have never seen and have but small conception of the grandeur of tbe Kooky Mountains or the splen dor of tbe Columbia river. In an effort to rectify tho condi tions of which complaint is here made the Commercial Club of Salt Lake City has undertaken the work of awakening interest iu this subject among the business men of the western part of the United States and of tbe Republic of Mexioo. Arrangements are now being per fected for a conference of the Gover nors of the states aud territories affected, together with representatives of the chief commercial organizations of tbe Went and of tbe railroads oper ating iu the Interested section, at which time the Commercial Club will present for consideration a detailed, detluite and comprehensive plan of procedure. This oouforeuce bus been culled for January 18, 1900. $20,000,000 IN IMPROVEMENTS Realizing that it will soon have to he brought into competition with au other railroad, the management of the 0. R. & N. have decided to spend 20,000,000 in improvements. The money will be spent for heavier equipments, stionger bridges, greater speed aud a fluer track. Oil burning locomotives are to be installed on the whole system early next year. Chief Engineer Uoschke is now out on the lines of the U. R. & N. and the Southern Pacific selecting locution tor oil tanks to tie erected immediate ly. The company has set aside $150, 000 for this change. Tbe block system whioh is now being erected on tbe bluo mountain division will be ex tended at each end, total extension being 100 miles, at a cost of $1)5,000, "When we get through the proseut planned improvements there will not bo a wooden truss bridge left on the Southern Paoiflo or the O. R. & N. railroads iu Oregon." said manager J. P. O'Hrien. "An appropriation of $502,000 has Just been made for tbe replacing wltb steel structures every wooden bridge between Portland aud Ashland." A wood-preserving plant at Wyeth cost $09,011. Stoel bridges ordered tor tbe U. K. A IN., to span every stream of Importance ou tha line, will cost $471,5.'17. New equipment ordered for the O. R. & N. amounts to $325,000. When the Uurrimmi mau auement oouiplotea tbe work laid out under Mr. O'lirieu the entire systems of the O. R. & N. and Southern Pa oitlo in Oregon will have been practic ally reconstructed. WHY WE WANT AN OPEN RIVER How much the towns aud cities along the Columbia river have been benefited by tbe building aud opera tion of the Cascade Locks may be gleaned from the statistics given be low: Traffic through the Cascade Locks from January 1, 1905, to September 3, 1905: .Number of boats passing through, 1,0,18. Tons of freight car ried, 110,528. Passengers carried, ui,u:i. Rates to The Dalles per ton before and after the locks were operated, in carload and less than carload lots. : Uofore After C.U L.C.L.

Murray Kay, with her sister, Miss Wultnn, aud daughter, Suzanne, while out driving Sunday, bad quite an accident. Oue of toe castings which fasten the shafta to the axle be came detached and bit tbe horse on the heels, causing It to run away. iu passing over a low bridge just west of the Unitarian cburcb, the wagon dropped off one end of the structure and was overturned.

COLONY LANDED 30 YEARS AGO ONLY THREE OREGON SURVIVORS Hans Lage Came Jiext Day Went Out to See the Country and Hot Lost In Deep Snow. Thirty years ago yesterday, Novem btr I."), the Hood River colonv landed on tho sand bar that extends along the Columbia river opposite the now thriving town of Hood River. There were fourteen families iu all and there being no aocommodutlcus for hous ing them they made a camp and later built a building resembling a harraeka and all lived together. Of the origi nal coiony ail mat are left in tnla part of the country are Mr. La France and Lyman Smith of Portland, and M. B. Potto.- of this city, at present living with a son at Percy, Ore., and who is over niuety years cf sge and very fee ble. On this account It is rather difficult to got many of the details of this epis ode iu tho history of Hood River, which would otherwise be intensely interesting. Many of this little band of pioneers not being able to with stand the hardships of frontier life, returned to their native towns or went to more settled paits, and some have pussod away. ThlB was, however, tbe tlrst orgauized effort to establish a town at the mouth of Hood River. Thirty years ago today Hans Lage, with his wife aud three children and his father-iu-litw, Mr. Hock, stepped from the bout at what Is now Iliugen, but wastbeu WhitoSulmou. Mr. Lage came to this part of the country from Davenport, In., and traveled via tbe Union Pacific to San Franoisoo and from thore to Portland by steamer aud ou up the Columbia river. He .-titys that it cost more to transport his household goods from Portland to White Salmon than It bad to have thorn brought all tbe lost of tbe way. In addition to this he bad to pay $10 a piece fare for bis family for thia ride of GO miles up the river. Ou the 17th of November it snowed nil day mid there was 18 inches of snow iu White Salmon and three back in the country. On tbe morning of the lKth with his brotber-in-lawand itnothor companion, he started out to see the country. Hoaring that the iieoplo iu the back country had bread but no butter to put ou it. tney pur chased a roll aud started out. After tramping about all day tbey tried to return, but seareli as tbey would they could not And tbe trail. Night came on a beautiful clear, moonlight night, and as tbey all hud mat olios they tried to make a fire by lighting the pine noodles, wblob they grubbed out of the snow. In vain effort. Match af ter mutch was struck and applied to tbe needles, but they refused to burn, for they wero wot wltb snow. Des pair now settled down on the party aud they floundered on aimlessly hal looing us loud as their sborte ed breath would permit. At last they stopped, exhausted, with courage almost goue, aud gave oue more shout, when afar off In the dtstunoe they heard tbo faint bark of a dog. Shouting and walking they trudged on toward tbe point wnere they could still hear tbe dog answer ing thoir orie. Finally they heard the welcome halloo of a man's voice, and going on enoountered Mr.OUmer, one of the oldest settlers in this part of the country, who, bearing their shouts, had come out to look for them. It was then about 9 o'clock, aud ufter walking for an hour or more, they arrived at a log cabin, which was the home of Mr, Gilmer, Ou entering the cabin the party found it in darkuoss, Mr. Gilmer hav ing no oil to make a light. The walla were tbo bare logs, unplastered, through whioh tbe wind swept uutem pored. Tbe men were ravenously hungry, and soon made this fact knowu to their host, who, with many apologies, explained that there was uotbing in tho cabin to eat but a few dry biscuits. These were brought forth, and opening the roll of butter which they had clung to through all their vicissitudes, the party foil to, and we have Mr. Lego's word for it that no banquet or feast that be ever sat down to tasted hulf as good as this simple fare. After supper the unbidden guests cot. Id no longor keep awake, and their host, again apologizing, said that tho only covering he oould give them for tbo night was a horse blanket apieoo. So tboy went out to the barn, wrapped themselves up in the blankets and Mr. Gilmer covered them up with hay, where they slept soundly until morning. As they bad eateu every thing in sight tbe night before there was, of course, nothing for breakfast. So Mr. Gilmer led them out to bis potato patch covered with three feet of snow, which they shoveled away and dug potatoes for their morning meal. After this was done they butoh ered a calf aud Included veal steak iu tbe menu. Breakfast over, Mr. Gilmer hitched u' his team and brought the stragglers back to White Salmon. Mr. Lage declares that be lias never appreciated anything so much iu his life as be did the hos pitality of Mr. Gilmer. Mr. Luge remained at White Salmon until the following March whou be bought tho place he now lives on, comprising 100 acres, from a home steader, and moved over ou this side of tbe river. He baa since cleared I'J) acres of it entirely by band. At that time Mr. Lage was the second settlor from the river, his brother-in-law, Mr. Hock, being tbo first, on what is now known as the Joe Divers place. His nearest neighbor was D. A. Turner, two miles away. He has seen many changes during his long resideuce iu the Hood River valley, and despite tbe hardships and struggles of bis early life, is as opto tnistio as a boy of eighteen. Nature Needs But Little. Nature needs only a Little Early Riser now aud then to keep tbe bowels clean, tbe liver active, and tbe system free from bile, headaches, constipation, etc. The famous little pills "Early Risers" are pleasant in effect and per fect iu action. Tbey never gripe or sicken, but tone and strengthen the liver and kidneys. Sold by G. E. Will-lams. i o o o
