Ill tho year 1875 wo bought H of
a lot at David Williams nnd In 1870
started tho building of tho briuk
storo on Main street. Our moans was
meagre, in fact wo wero iudobtod to

economy aud paying part of the wages
aud material, building und labor in
capital stock, using tho kind mauoge
rooutf'tbo Superlnondnnoy Z. 0. 1. 1.,
drawing for supplies to help us
through, wo managed to perfeot tbo
building nud on its completion held
u buuquot in tho unpor story, whero
ell tho sharoholdors partook of a
spread, nnd afterwards a ball iu tho
old Soolnl Hnll. Thla labor not stay,
lug our hands, wo bought n ploco of
land, port of Abol Lamb, nnd park of
Georgo Hunter, ond built tho Tnn
nory. I omitted to soy tho store
building cost us a littlo ovor 85000,
ami (ho tannery ovor 83000. Wo
wero still drawltg on our friend Z.
0 M. I. for supplies About this
timo, 1871), two flour iuIHr wero ruu.
nlng tn Cedar canyon. Ono owned
bv Lou la R Gbutlln, tho other by
Homor Duuonn. Wo suggested to
them to oombiuo tho two mills but
was not Euooessful. Then wo otfored
to buy tho two mills nud nlvo them
tholr vnluo in capital stock. In thla
wo foiled. Tho board of tho Co-op.
called a mass mooting to docldo if
tho company almuld build n mllj.
Aftor in u 0I1 controversy It wob deoid
ed to start tho project. Two pairs cf
four foot burs wero. ordorod nnd nil
uoooBsory machinery, wntor wheel,
etc. Tho mill wob completed, otat
lug h Httlo ovor 811,000. All of
theho projoota sent us grcntly iu dett
to Z 0. M. I , although pint of tho
liibor nnd nomo homo material was
paid for in capital Btook.
The question muy bo oskod, why
did the company build a mlllwhlln
thoro wero two already? I anoer,
neither guvo satisfaction. Both woro
Hinull millB nnd not Iu good anndl
tiou. Tho company thought by com.
blnlug tho two thoy oonld Imnrovo

which required heavy mnohluory and
required more power thnn tho water

Tho Inadtntlou prospered nnd our
