New Elevator Company.
The Northwestern Farmers Protec-
tive association OF Grand Forks has
entered upon a pl oiect foc a system
of farmers elevators along the lines
of the N. P. and Great Northern rail-
ways. including a great terminal ele-
vator at the lake shore. This pro-
iect though not fully contemplated in
the original scheme OF the associa-
ton is warranted by existing condi-
lions and will undoubtedly receive
the endorsement and hearty cooper
alton OF the grain growers OF the
Northwest. Indeed the project is one
that the farmers should take into
their own hands. The scheme con-
templates, first the erection by the
farmers at their own expense OF a
platform. warehouse or elevator at
each station. Sec'y Ulven has secured
from the various railroads assurance
that the privilege of building site
will be granted. The Elevator Com
pany will build in connection with
this system q large terminal elevator
at West Superior. They have organ
lied for the purpose with the follow,
ing directorate: Ole O. Haugerud-
n. D.; H. 81. Stom, Hillsboro, N. D.;
Andrew STEVENSON, Climax, Mimi;
w. IL Anderson, Grand Forks, N. D
Thos. Ulven, Grand Forks, N. D.; A.
O. Heglie, Walcott, Ole Aune, Fertile,
Mimi; A. Braseth, Dwight, N. d.; Ole
Fl. Brenna, Grand Forks. N. D.; John
o. Fadden, Grand Forks, N. D.; Levi
Stevenson, Foster, Mimi.
The capital stock OF the company
is 100000, divided into 5000
shares OF $50 each. No person can
hold more than 40 shares, and the
stock Is non-transferable except to
members of the Farmers Protective
association.
One desideratum gained by this
plan is the shipment OF the worldre-
moved "No. l hard,' in it's pristine
purity, direct from the farm gate to
the ocean steamer without mixture
which now robs the grower of his
grade.
The business of the Elevator COM
pany will be, not the purchase, but
simply the storage and forwarding OF
grain, and the books and accounts OF
the company will at all times be open
to the inspection of any individual
member.
1t is the express desire OF the direct
ors to dispose of the stock as far as
practicable to farmers, and to that
end Secretary Thomas Ulven will
hold meetings by appointment at the
different stations and will furnish any
desired information. Farmers will
doubtless realize that the business of
the company is their own business,
and will be thoroughly represented
wherever these meetings are held.
All things considered, the greatest
and the most interesting man who
now lives on this planet is William
Z. Gladstone. and it is within
bounds to declare that by far the
most interesting sketch OF Mr.. Glad
stones personality, character, ca
reer, and methods OF work that has
ever been written is the brilliant
article which is published as the
leading feature OF the May number
Of the Review of Reviews. 1t is quite
impossible to characterize this sketch
in a sentence Or two, and we can
only affirm that no reader, old or
young, will regret having obtained
a copy OF the Review of Reviews for
the sake OF this account OF Mr.. Glad
stone. 1t is accompanied by mag
nifcent portrait. The editor of the
magazine sees in the manner in
which the Bland bill was shelved in
the House an opportunity for the
peoples party to enter the field with
marked prestige and presents fine
portraits OF the three eminent lead
ers OF the party, Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly. President Polk and Jas. u.
Weaver.
