We noticed last week, u large drove
of fine cattle, owned by some of our
Donnelly farmers coming home from
the summers hlrding. They were
beauties, and demonstrate the fact
that fat cattle can be raised in Stevens
county. We were told by one of our
farmers Of his having sold a two year
old steer for the market, for $4,000.
This ought to be hint to wheat
raisers who are struggling with low
prices.
The new elevator just completed at
. this point, is without exception, one
of the handsonest and most convent
ent structures gifts class to be found
on either line. The main building is
"a by 4S feet, with an addition for en-
CINE and receiving room IA 36 feet,
above which is raised y cupola IA "a
feet. The cribbing in the main build
ing reaches total height of 81 feet,
and OH either end are two twelve feet
square, storage bins, which extend
to the top of the cribbing. In the cen-
ire of the house erected some II feet
above the main floor, are eight clean
ing and four shipping bins, each II X
"a feet. The elevator provided with
two sets of elevator legs and the ele-
waiting will be done by means of a six
horsepower skinner and wood engine.
In the center of the house is left
ample room for operating and clean
ing, and No. Barnard & Lea i'm
proved grain cleaner will be used. a
sixty bushel Fairbanks scales, con-
veniently situated and we'll lighted,
is handy for the inspection of all pa
irons of the elevator. Over the engine
room is the office, which suggests
warm quarters in winter weather;
and convenient flight of stairs takes
one to the top of the building or eupola,
which is lighted by six windows.
This cupola contains the spouting by
which the grain is conveyed to the
various bins. One feature especially
noticeable is the amount of light from
the numerous windows in this build
ing, but in no case has strength been
encroached upon, and it's designer is
to be congratulated for having solved
so important a question as light and
air in building of this kind. The
capacity of the house is 80 600 bushels,
| but so convenient are the arrange
ments of machinery, that ten times
| that amount can be handled with ease.
The building is owned and operated
by A. J. Sawyer, of Duluth, and Mr..
J. G.. Hammond, of Willard, is the
designer and builder. Mr.. Hammond
| will also have charge of the grading,
and will guarantee all his patrons,
fair grades and the highest market
| price for their grain.
