La Grande Milling to Grind 1906 Wheat Crop at Ready Status
La Grande Milling Company plans to start grinding the 1906 wheat crop as last year’s processed flour remains and this season’s wheat arrives with A No 1 quality. The mill, powered by a seventy horsepower electric motor, produces about one hundred barrels daily and is temporarily shut for repairs after continuous use since last year. The note highlights local industry and room for more growth. A minstrel show is in town, with the Coons unable to complete scenery delivery from Pandlaton, but a performance is expected tonight.
