Editor of PIONEER ExpnEss
SIR:-l notice from your locals that MIR.
Waldo, of Mount Pleasant, has visited
Killarney and has since told his neigh
bors what he learned there. Here it is:
"Oglivie 4 Co, are buying wheat ut Xiii
larney; % cents per bushel is the most
that has been paid ut that point"
Oglivie g. Go. never bought busl,el OF
wheat there at IS cents. Their lowest
figure for frozen wheat was 35 cents and
from that up TO IS cents for No. 1. hard.
! can name the sellers any day, who got
these prices. Perhaps no one in Dakota
knows that farmers cross the line from
Neche, pay duty, and come out five cents
bushel better than if they had sold OH
their own side of the line. I should re.
commend Mr.. Waldo when next he
visits Southern Manitoba to keep his
experiences out ofthe PIONEER EXPRESS,
may chance to see them again, and put
the boot on the other leg. KILLARNEY.
