The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-10-10
EXPLAINED.

The following letter received from John
M. Turner by Samuel Fairman, is in e1-
PLANTATION of the matter brought up in last
weeks Leader by "Farmer:''
Samnel Fairman, Ag't, Washburn, N. D.:
Dear Sir: Your favor of Sept. 25th is
noted. The little dissatisfaction you note
as existing among your farmers we are
sorry to see. 1t is impossible to do busi-
ness, pay man salary, furnish a ware
house at Washburn, stand the wear and
4 tear of sacks on the steamboat, pay freight
from the boat landing to our mill, at less
that 10 cents difference between Bismarck
and Washburn. We have tried it time
and again for less money and have lost
money always.
We are in the business to stay, and de-
sire to furnish steady, continuous mar
ket for your farmers, put responsible
buyer of good capacity to wait on them,
and keep him there whether there is any
wheat coming in or not. We take all
risks of the wheat from the time it leaves
the farmers hands. We have to pay taxes
in your county on the wheat that remains
over winter, and we do not think any one
else could do business permanently and
satisfactorily for less money.
Please explain TO the farmers tnat tne
matter of freight alone is all that appears
to them on the surface, whereas, in reality,
there are number of other things, as we
have cited. If the farmers are not satisfied
with this rate, we will be glad to have them
haul to Bismarck and pay them the IL
cents difference, for We assure You we are
giving them all there is in it at present.
Yours, &C., JOHN N. TURNER.
In addition to the above, to illustrate
what it costs the company, they give the
following itemized statement of expense
for last year:
G. T. Lange's commission, 30 per bushel.
Steamboat to Bismarck. $40
Railroad for hauling from
landing to mill. ....... 1kc
Wear and tear on sacks. 40
Taxes and other expenses, 10
Total expense per bushel, 1890
With this statement staring us in the
face, it does seem that difference of -
cents between Washburn and Bismarck is
not so unreasonable after all.

Farmers, when you go to Bismarck u
buy lumber, call at the Gull River LumBGfs
Yards, and consult with Isaac Hooper, the.
agent. He will sell to you cheaper than
any other man. --es-t S<--A- :
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-10-10

"a visit among the business firms at Bis
marck, the past week, revealed decided
improvement in all branches of trade and
a more cheerful, hopeful spirit displayed
by all classes of dealers; and especially
was this the case with the Gull River Lu1n-
Der Company, of which Mr.. Isaac Hooper,
esq, is agent. This firm has always main
tanned steadfast confidence in the supe-
riority and ultimate success of the Mis-.
souri, Slope both as an agricultural and
stock raising country, and as an evidence
of their faith in the region surrounding
them, they have recently stocked up their
yards in Bismarck with immense quanti-
ties of lumber of every grade. They now
carry larger supply than can be found
in any lumber yard in the northwest, which
they are selling to farmers at greatly re-
duced rates. Our friends in Mclean coun-
ty who contemplate purchasing lumber,
should not fail to call upon Mr.. Hooper
when they visit the capital city. They
will find Mr.. Hooper courteous gentle
man, and they will also find that he will
give them prices that will defy competition.

If the new parties desire to compete in
the purchase of wheat and give the farmer
a fair show, why don't they put man in
the field here and buy wheat the same as
the mill company does? The farmer who
bites at this proposition and assumes all
risks end expenses of shipment will -''find
himself left" in the end. He had better
take assure thing and sell to the company
who pays all that can be paid and assumes
all the RESPONSIBILITIES.

Geo. E. Wentworth Of Bismarck, and
10. Brown of Painted Woods, were in town
Thursday. The object of Mr.. Wentworth's
visit here was to make arrangements with
farmers to ship their wheat to Bismarck
where he and others can have chance at
it. The Leader fails to see in what respect
the farmer will gain anything in this ar
rangement. Besides the risks the farmer
must run, and the loss. if any, he must
sustain, the cost of shipment will be, at
the louaSt calculations about fnllows.

DIEp.-On Friday. November 90. 1901,
at the home Of his parents in Summit TIP,
WILLIAM ". GREEN, son of John j. and
Mary A. Green. aged 81 years, months
and ID days; of typhoid fever.
1t is truly sad to be called upon to
chronicle the demise of a young man
so kind, energetic and full of promise
AS was Will Green, taken away just as
he had entered manhoods estate. Will
came to Sully county with his parents
in the spring of 1888, and since that
time assisted his father and brothers in
opening up their large farm until early
in the fall he went to North Dakota to
work with a threshing crew, where BY
necessary exposure to rain and cold he
was taken sick. After a short illness
there he returned home and was again
confined to his bed, from which he
never recovered.
The funeral services were held in
Onida on Sunday, Rev NJ. Ash ofiiciat-
ing, and the remains inferred In the
cemetery under the auspices of U. G.
Grant Post and Corp. Tanner Camp, S.
of ", attended by many friends. The
sympathy of all is extended to the
family in their sad afilction.

CHAIRMAN Clough Of the Republican
State Central Committee, has issued a
revised circular Of the election returns,
which has been received at this office,
which shows Jolley's plurality over
Smith to be 3,l60, and over Woods
1888, and Smiths plurality over
Woods 1873. The total vote cast was
80, ,635, of which Jolley received 1916;
Smith II ,6l6, and Woods 7,243 The
figures show that Jolley receive d 1000
more than half of what Gamble had
last year, while Smith had l4,6l6, or
10000 less than Leavitt in 1890, and
Wood 1873, as against 1000 for the
Democratic congressional ticket last
fall. There is abundant evidence that
the third party movement is much
weaker than it was year ago; the ardor
which characterizes the supporters of
the new party has its effect in bring
ing out nearly the full vote of the In
dependents.

What Is Good Baking Powder

1t is well known fact that carbonate
Of ammonia is used by bakers in the pre-
paration Of the finest and most wholesome
bread and cake, and has been from time
immemorial. II is among the Oldest and
at the same time most healthful constitu-
uents of baking powders. 1t is all evolved
no trace of itself in the food. and il is this
that gives 1t its great value as a leavening
agent in the opinions of the physicians -
