A great many of the farmers living in
the towns Of Stevens, Synness and Horton
in this county, are hauling their wheat to
Appleton. Some of them living within
twelve miles of Morris are marketing
there, although the distance is at least ten
miles further. They assert also that they
get a grade better for their wheat. Now
this is not as it should be, for certainly
the Morris elevators could do as we'll as
others II there were not some good reasons
for their not doing SO. Upon particular
inquiry as to the probable cause, We are
informed that the elevators are owned by
the same parties, and the only reason that
can be be given for this state of affairs Is
that Milwaukee buyers compete for the
grain on the Hastings and Dakota rail-
road, and the Minneapolis Millers do not
enjoy the monopoly as they do in Stevens
county, and will continue to do unless the
Little Falls s. Dakota railroad brings US
the much coveted relief. Otherwise our
only hope is through the legislature and

80 blind to their own interests and will
permit their political prejudices to affect
