The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1901-08-17

q ram there sDy snort naul. a,
Goal Harbor,. also, we will build q
]. smaller fiat house, with a capacity
fof about 10000 bushels. At Ex.
pansion, Hancock, Stanton and
Fort CLARK, which is opposite
lWashburn, we will put in barges,
i each with grain buyer. Farmers
may deliver their grain at, these
/ barges and receive their money.
4 These ,barges will collect their pur-
|.chases at the elevator at Wash
) burn, where it will be loaded for
4 Bismarck. The Washburn ele-
yator will be completed soon, and
we5Ewill be buying grain there in
|about. four weeks. The system of
transpo portation to be established
Twill bring all Of the country with
ina large radius Of Washburn in
70 close relations with the mar.

W. will build a leg 70 the ele-
syatorsat Washburn, and the grain
can. he elevated from barges di-
recely to the elevator, SO that
much Of the grain will be handled
in bulk, saving the expense Of
sacking. We expect to have the
railroad completed to Washburn
by September 10 and will be run
ming trains through shortly after
THAT date. From our investigat-
ions Of the country north We are
satisfied that our road will handle
SOC, 600 to GOO, 600 bushels of grain
this fall. Of this perhaps 1885,
600 bushels will come from west
Iof the river and the balance from
j the east side. The grain all thro'
the country looks fine. Possibly
| d third Of it is cut. No threshing
has been done yet. Everybody is
at work in the harvest fields. The
farmers all through the country
seem willing and anxious to CO.
!operate with. us in the work Of
Establishing markets and opening
pp the country to better and more
defensive farming. 3
ness ,sonisW ia l6id auditor
Walker, "and find that nearly all
the farmers in the country have
20 tp 200 head Of cattle. We
6gurs that l,5OO to 1000 head Of
cattle will be skipped out Of the
country tributary to our road by
the FARMERS alone. Sailer and
Bobfer at Mannhaven, Of the.
Mannhayens. Mercantile and Trans.
portation company, are hustlers
and are making Mannhaven a
lively place. They will cooperate
with us, and will be valuable as
sistants. Good, thrifty farms are
seen all through Mercer and Oliver
counties. Farmers up that way are
the right SORT. They are workers
and make the most Of their oppor-
tunities. At Hanover there is 9
creamery. which took second prize
|,at, the Buffalo exposition. A re-,
cent shipment Of 5000 pounds of
l;biltter was brought down from
Mannhavcn on a boat. This gives
come idea Of the possibilities Of the
country, once tits developed.
