The Wheel» ot Induttry. McMinnville’» two flouring mills are contributing in no small degree to the industrial prosperity of this section, for every revolution of their drive-wheels represents a certain amount of raw ma terial turned into a staple of commercial value. In short, they represent home manufacturing enterprises, of which this city and county should have a great er variety. At the Atlas mills Mr. Kratz has just added a rare piece of machinery, known as a Mitchell scroll mill, which is su perior to rolls in the redaction of grain. With this and other late improvement» «the Atlas mills have increased their ca pacity to 175 barrels of flour daily. Dur ing tbe next twelve mouths, between August 1st, 1899, and August 1st, 19UU, Mr. Kratz estimates that 150,000 bushels of Yamhill county wheat will have been manufactured into flour by the Atlas mills. Much of tbe flour is shipped to China and Japan, while the bulk of it finds a market in California. The Star mills on tbe west also swell the amount of flour shipments from McMinnville. These mills are run by a magnificent water power, and during about nine months each year they man ufacture by the latent improved ma chinery, about 80,000 bushels of w heat into flour, a great deal of which goos to feed the hungry Orientals. Stout «£ Daniel, tbe proprietors, also do custom or exchange work for the farmers, in addition to their commercial milling. Thus, with the whirling wheels of progress humming their tune of indus try, and every ludicaticu of a good wheat crop iu old Yamhill ibis year, the farm- ers can behold behind tbe floury uiists the sure and certain reward for labor, and another poiut can be marked down in favor of home manufacture.

A daughter was burn to Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Jones of Amity on the 22d iust. Ed. Tyler left on Monday for Cow creek canyon, where he has mining in terests. O. H. Irvine has his eagle eye on the head waters of the Willamina, and is likely to swoop down theie with his fam ily nest week for a seaion of camping. The families of O. 0. Hodson, F. W. Fenton and J. E. Magers expect to en- sconse themselves in their cottages at New port on the Pacific about Tuesday of next week, toreuiaiu through the heate<l period. Ed Tyler brought a lino sample of wheat to town Friday, which ia on dis play at this office. He save he “has a thousand acres of it." There is a bet up that it won't exceed 20 bushels tu the acre. It looks as if it ought to go 40 bushels. The families of Wm F. and F. Diel- schneider are in camp at Meadow lake, and will probably remain llirough the month of August, at least until they get. tired. Campers are coming and goiug at that place constantly, and it promises to l>e quite a resort this summer. R. A. Harris, Mutt Redmond ami Henry Oliver went up to Meadow lake and vicinity on Monday for a week’s hunting. The boys are said to have gone some distance on their journey when they happened to think that they had no soap or comb with them, ami bad to return to secure these articles. Mr. and Mrs. A. German of Glen El der, Kansas, have spent the past week visiting Mr. ami Mrs. J. P. Brown. The ladies are half sisters and the families were neighbors in Kansas. They are well pleased with the delightful summer climate of Oregon, and though doing well and making money at farming, it is be lieved if they could satisfactorily dispose of all interests in Kansas, our charming cljmate would win them over to a per manent residence. This is a condition with a great many eastern people. If they desired to make a change, and could do so agreeably ami without great sacri fice Oregon would be their first choice. The families of Isaiah Martin, James Rei«l and Mrs. Herr are in camp on Deer creek near the crossing of the Nestucca road. The situation is a delightful one, and is within a half day’s drive of Mc Minnville. On the way over last Friday Mr. Martin was unfortunate in exfier- iencing an upset while driving down a bill with bis two-seated carriage. The buggy tipped and rolled over a log and lauded with its occupants several feet bel >w tho road in ti triangular space formed by three fallen trees. The buggy top was smashed and the pole broken, but the occupants of the buggy miracu lously escuped all injury. Real Leale I mutter».
