And Have Capacity of 100000 In

| 1t was given out on the 18th inst.
! that the Dakota Elevator company
had fixed upon the site on Montreal
| Pier offered them By the Consolidated
Land Company. and it was generally
! thought that matter was settled. But
certain influences were set to work to
defeat the plans and worked well en-
ough TO cause another visit of the COM
mittee to again view tie various sites
! at the head of the lakes. The commit
/ tee came down here last week and
| looked about and Investigated all the
sites, and on Monday evening decided
the question, and on Tuesday signed
the necessary contract papers, accept
ing a site offered them by the Consol-
iGated Land Company. The site Sc
lected is not on Montreal Pier as or
! iginaliy announced in Dakota, but on
Quebec Pier, next of Becker slip, i'm
mediately east of the Daisy mills.
There has been some division of
+ sentiment as to whether the proposed
elevator should be of ,000,O00 or only
10000 bushels capacity, but the in
! tention now is to make it l ,O00, 900 as a
matter of economy.
| Plans have been prepared and sub
mitted by several elevator builders,
among them Barnett Il Record OF
! Minneapolis and the Heidenreich com
pany of Chicago, but no choice has yet

at the East End. Monday night we
were out in Col Georges boat and we
saw an enormous vessel laden with
coal sail in and up to the dock quickly
the lake is shallow out side of the har-
Dor entrance, but when we saw with
our own eyes this big fourmaster
steam in full laden we knew we had
been deceived AS to titles, we saw
the Daisy mill people spending 800, 200
an Quebec Per and concluded they
would not throw in that amount of
money where titles We're bad.
I'VE like the East End gentlemen
very much They did not once run
down or speak dlsparagingly OF any
other site or locality, but showed us
their own and told us What they would
do and what we could do. We are
satisfied
