Evanston Mill.

    The flour mill here has been leased to E. B. Gilleland, of southern California, who arrived here the first of the week. This gentleman is an old experienced miller and comes highly recommended. He at one time operated a mill at Echo, Utah, being a resident of that place several years ago. Farmers who have wheat to spare can get a good price here for their grain. Bring it along boys, and keep the wheels of this establishment moving. Mr. Gilleland has some grain on hand and will commence grinding today. H. Day has been engaged to run the engine. Let us all patronize a home industry and build up our town. ‘Tis no use having buildings and machinery in a town unless you use them.
