letter tells of Improvements I Im-provements und additions in the mills of the State during the past year together I to-gether with some Items of Interest The outlook for millers Is very much Improved In Utah Contributing to this end the following facts may be stated Mechanics laboring1 men clerks and trainservice men nil employed not half a day on and two days off not one trip out and four trips In but constant con-stant employment at good wages not Begging of a brother of the earth 4O give him leave to toil I These people are able to live well and have all the bread they want Thanks to the G O P the brother Is begging the toiler at JI ent Then the mining i mi-ning camps are filling up with bread eaters Again the cities and towns arc Increasing In population Everything Is encouraging to the local miller and ers Is attracting attention of outside mill ersLast spring E Y Lingle Son millers of long experience In the East came to Salt Lake looked the ground over and concluded there was room at the top for a milling plant here They at once purchased the North Salt Lake mill and threw out the oldstyle machinery ma-chinery that was in Their next move was to go East and personally Inspect and select machinery especially adapted to the llouring of Rocky mountain wheat After placing this machinery In their mill they stuck out their shingle to farmers reading Good prices for prime wheat Rubbish not wanted On this business platform they set the pace for highclass milling In Utah The very warm reception their llnlshcd goods have received at the hands of consumers satisfies them that they made no mistake In Investing a large amount of capital In Salt Lake This mill has a capacity of 150 barrels of flour per day Following Lingle Son In quick succession suc-cession came the Intermountain Mill Ing company of Salt Lake with a very thorough overhauling of their Wasatch mill to modern methods I spent quite n sum of money on improvements and they are of such character as to entitle en-title tho company to very favorable consideration ot the public The capacity capa-city of the mill is about 150 barrels per day Rydaulch Knipple are changing the Klchvlllo mill at Halfway house Tooele county from the Rue to the rotary bolting system which will place them on a footing second to none Testy Knight it Son of Provo are adding improved machinery to their I mil The I Jilslnore Roller Mill company of Elsinore has just completed a seventy flvebarrel roller mill on the rotary bolter system Burttson Son of Monroe have changed their reel mill to the rotary bolter system The Osden Mill and Elevator company com-pany has added a dustcollector to one of its mills Is mia A Hatch Son of Hcber City have I thoroughly overhauled their mill changing It to the Planslftcr system f John W Seely of Castle Dale has just completed n very fine flftybarrel roller mill plant on the reel and rotary bolter combination system All the above new mills overhaulings changes and additions have been made In 1SD9 and the trend of all of them Is to improve the quality of their output The time It at hand when millers will have to Improve their standard The County is settling up of quality 1 country 11 SClllguJ with people from all parts of the world many of whom have had acctns to the best llQUr made on this continent and will not bo satisfied with mediocre but will demand the very best flour that can be made from Rocky mountain wheat whathcn When the railroad Is I completed by southern route to the seaboard the millers paradise will be complete la Utah Export shipments made during the year 1S93 by the Ogden Milling and Elevator company To Honolulu H I 1833G16 poundu flour 30000 pounds bran and shorts to Hongkong China 882000 pounds flour the best millers there which is likely never to be wholly lost I The exports for California have been Cache valley and principally from ale nn northern points but Sanpete and the southern districts have also shared in the export Inquiries by shipping quite I lar eXJort I Texas and Colorado I estimate esti-mate that our total export of wheat has been In the neighborhood of three million bushels part of which has gone I ntlUon the shape of flour Wyoming Nevada Idaho and other points There I has also been n fair export demand for this has been partly flour for China but J Jall ly I curtailed owing lo the continued low I prTce of wheat at the seaboard cities of Tacoma and Portland as the mills there are able to buy the raw material on better terms after taking the railroad 1 I rail-road freight from Utah points into consideration I con-sideration Iderton Our home consumption of wheat call cal-l culating about five and threequarter bushels per annum for each person has been about one and a half million bushels and this left us at the beginning begin-ning of ISJti I harvest with n stock of old and half wheat on hand of about one a million bushels It was fortunate that we possessed this reserve a the 1S99 cron has been a very poor one and in the dryfarmed sections not over CO per cent has been reaped Where Irrigation prevailed the crop was reasonably good but unfortunately unfor-tunately at the critical stage when the wheat was In the milk during August Au-gust a serious cold spell came and inJured in-jured 3 large quantity of wheat by frost The final figures for 1599 arc scarcely available ydt but It would be Unsafe to estimate the crop over three and a half million bushels and of this iVIs i possible that onehalf million bushels bush-els will have to be used for feed purposes I pur-poses being unsuitabe for milling owing to damage by frost and smut Our mills have experienced a good demand de-mand for their products the whole season sea-son though during the first six months of the year prices were very unremu nerative but now the mills seem t have all the business they can take care of and appear to be getting reasonable rea-sonable compensation for their labqr while at the same time prices to the consumer continue very moderate The autumn sowing for next crop j has been accomplished under favorable circumstances cir-cumstances and 0 good breadth has been planted Fine warm rains have started the wheat to growing very au spiciously and the present promise is I so far as it has gone for a good showIng show-Ing for 1900 gone In conclusion I would say that Utah has now started in as A regular and growing exporter and with the continued con-tinued breaking up of new land the I volume of trade is likely to Increase I year by year especially as the good I quality of our product gets to be generally gen-erally known I Barley is a short crop owing to lack I of moisture during the critical season Prices of thIs article have been low since harvest owing to there being I practically no export inquiry and bot tom prices in California Yours truly SAM WILLIAMSON |
