'The first flour mill, in the state of Idaho, was begun in the year 1863, at Franklin by James Howarth and John Goaslind.  They were later joined by L. L. Hatch and Alexander Stalker, Sr., All the machinery for grinding the flour was made of wood with the exception of the turbine wheel which came from the East, and the grinding stone from Utah granite.  A ditch, cut from Cub River, conveyed the water which was used as power to run the mill.  Jeames Howarth ground 44 pounds of flour, 14 pounds of bran and 2 pounds of shorts from every bushel of wheat.  The wheat coming to the mill was sometimes worth $5 per bushel.  Each man got the flour from his own wheat.  The wheat was put in two-bushel seamless sacks.  It was said that Mr. Howarth could instinctively tell by smee, as well as by the sound of the machinery, if the mill was grinding right.  This mill ran successfully for eighteen years and then Mr. Goaslind died and the others discontinued it.'
