Eight Hundred Barrel Mill
To Be Installed by This
Enterprising Firm.
The Yukon Mill & Grain Co.
has just closed a deal whereby
the capacity of this already
mammouth concern will be in-
creased at least sixfold. Nine-
teen thousand dollars worth of
new machinery has been bar-
gained for and will be put in
operation probably within the
next year. The machinery was
originally contracted for by the
Tokio Trading Company of
Tokio, Japan, for the Dai-Nippon
Flour Mills Company of Toko-
homa, Japan, but as the Toko-
homa people failed to make
good, they had to forfeit their
contract money and the Yukon
Mill & Grain Co. purchased th«
outfit, The machinery was built
by the Wolf Co., Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania.
When it i* installed it is the
purpose of the milling company
to use the old mill to grind all
kinds of feed, and later they in-
tend to jyrind alfalfa. It is the
custom for mill campanies to
overestimate their capacity to
the public, but the Yukon peo-
ple do not want to mislead any-
body in this regard. They claim
that the new mill will have a
oapacity of from six to eight
hundred barrels a day. As is
well Know the company has had
a hard time to keep up with
their orders,—so much so that
they have been behind with
their shipments, but with the
enlarged capacity things will run
much smoother. The building
«f this big structure will give
employment to many men and
of course there will have to be
an increase of the number of
regular employes. John F.
Kroutil, President of the Com-
pany says it is entirely safe to
say that when the plant is fin-
ished Yukon will have the finest
an 1 best equipped mill in the
state. The personnel of the
company is as follows: John F.
Kroutil, President: A. F. Dobry,
Vice-president; and Frank Krou-
til, Secretary and Treasurer.

An enthusiastic meeting of
farmers and owners of property
along the North Canadian was
held in this city Saturday after-
ternoon to consider the question
of straightening and shortening
the river between the meridian
line and the Oklahoma county
line. Twenty-five of the men
most deeply interested ware
present. The unanimous senti-
ment was that the river must be
straightened in order to reclaim
from overflow the thousands of
acres of valley land which is
now flooded after every heavy
rain, and a resolution to form a
drainage district was adopted.
A petition will be circulated and
signed for presentation to the
county commissioners at the
January meeting of the board.
A committee was selected
composed of L. B. Clift, Robert
LeForce and Mel Cooksey, whose
duty it was made to see that
legal measures are adopted for
the formation of the drainage
district.
One of the plans proposed for
the shortening of the river is to
dig a ditch for a distance of
five miles along the township
line which runs a mile north of
the ice plant road. This would
make the stream perfectly
straight for that distance, short-
en the river about twelve miles
and reclaim hundreds of acres
of land from overflow. . The
residence of George Ebersole,
northeast of the city, is the only
one which would be anywhere
near in the way, and that one
would not be mateiially injured,
but it wouid stand on the oppo-
site side of the river from where
it now stands.
This route would necessitate
the building of another bridge
by the St. Louis, El Reno <&
Western, as the river would be
brought a half a mile south of
its present bed. —El Reno Demo-

The Criminal Not Smart.
We have long had a theory
that mighty few criminals are
really smart. If they were
smart they wouldn't be criminals.
Even the bankers who get
caught and who have the repu-
tation o ' being great financier
show when the facts come out
that they weren't re lly smart
after all. If they had been the;,
i would have known that it w
;only a question of time until
: they wo-.:d tie caught.
