for $50 tone per day has now been placed
in the factory, the balance to be placed
in season for 1898 crop, making it, when
fully completed, 700-ton plant
The construction of the buildings has
required 200 carloads OF gravel and 5000
barrels of cement for the foundations
alone. Fifty carloads Of lumber have
already been used. and twenty-five more
will be required before the completion of
the silo, 700 feet long, and the beet sheds
