' The Climax Mill, at Ephraim, was started up on Saturday last, and a Register reporter was on the ground to witness the successful working of the machinery in its first run. It seemed to be perfect in every part; and worked with smoothness. smooth-ness. ' Mr. Louis Becker, lessee of the MaHtl Holier Mii,-i present. Ht is a thorough .and practical millwright, mill-wright, and after a careful inspection, inspec-tion, reported to the conpany, who own the mill, . to the effect that it was perfect in every detail. In fact, Mr. Pecker said to one of the company who was present, that it was the most complete mill in the county, and that the machan-ical machan-ical work was perfect. This was.of coprse.very gratifying to Mr. Ole Larson, who is the contractor con-tractor and builder. It may not be out of place to say in this connection con-nection that Mr. Larson is a citizen of long standing in Ephraim, having come to the place with the first pio-j'neers, pio-j'neers, in '57, then a mere infant. I "His opportunities for theoretical education hjye been very meager indeed, but the extent of practical knowledge and talent in that line, that is his, may best be known when the mass of complicated machinery employed in the Climax mill, is seen running as smoothly as clockwork, clock-work, and he the master builder. CJreat judgement has been displayed dis-played by the gentleman in every part of the work, from the selection of the site, to the completion and Selling ill motion tot; iiiaiiiiui.. Mr. Larson has had the entire management man-agement of the undertaking from the cutting of the timbers to its completion. com-pletion. Speaking of the site; Mr. Becker said it gives the mill the best water power in the county, and an agent, of Barnard & Lee, the company of whom the machinery was purchased, says it is the best water power he has seen from Snake River in Idaho, to Mexico. There is some talk of building an elevator adjoining the mill. The water power is sufficient to serve both, even if the elevator should exceed ex-ceed 35,000 bushels capacity, which in the size now spoken off. Mr. Larson says he has a scheme perfected per-fected for using the same power for both, and that the miller will be able to sit in the mill and raise wheat to any bin, or take wheat from them with ease. This latter item is a contrivance of his own, and as he explained it to the gentlemen present, seemed very feasible in deed. - Ephraim is to be congratulated on the ownership of the mill, the enterprise of the company who put up the cash, and the fine ability oi the master builder. |
