BLOCK FARMERS ELEVATOR
Grain Dealers and Railroad Shut it Out Of
Tracksge Privileges,
MAY HAUL GRAIN TooTHER LINES OF ROAD
Farmers Near Benedict Up in Arms
Against what They Consider I'm
fair Action of Road and
Grain Dealers.

BENEDICT, Neb., Sept. 1S.-(specisl)-
II is estimated that from rs, 900 to $50 900
bushels, and perhaps more, Of grain will
be hauled away from Benedict and shipped
over the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad at York and Thayer, and
the Union Pacific railroad az Stromsburg.
There are $50 indignant well-to-do farmers,
who, unless the b. e. NJ. railroad grants
right-of-way privileges threaten to boycott
the grain dealers at Benedict, and as the
facts are becoming known the threatened
boycott may be a sympathetic boycott over
the entire northern part Of York county,
which would mean that thousands upon
thousands Of bushels Of York county grain
in B. & NJ. territory would be shipped over
competing lines, which is all due to a
supposed grievance against the B. & M.
railroad and Benedict elevator men, whom
they believe used unfair means to prevent
the locating Of an independent fsrmers'
elevator at Benedict, and appeal through
The Bee for equal rights and a fair show.
Nearly $50 farmers living in north York
county formed an independent elevator
organization and literally subscribed for
the capital stock. At the time there were
three elevator buildings in Benedict. Two
were owned by one man. The independent
people tried to buy the elevator house that
had only been used principally as a storage
house. The price asked appeared prohibit
tive, although since a sale is reported to
have been made to a member Of the York
County Elevator association.
Refused Lease of Ground.
Delegations representing the independent
elevator met railroad ~oficials at Benedict
and at different times visited officials at
Lincoln and asked to lease ground enough
for an elevator site on the right-of-way and
were repeatedly turned down.
Alongside the right-of-way ground they
wished to lease and were refused was a
business lot which they purchased and
had about commenced to build an elevator
building. This building would have been
eighty-hve feet from the track and the
farmers expected to run a spout across
from the elevator to the track, which they
could have done had not the B. & NJ. rail-
road caused to have built or leased to grain
dealers Of Benedict the right-of-way be-
tween its tracks and the farmers ele-
vator on which they built large coal houses
completely shutting off the farmers in
dependent elevator company from spouting
grain to its tracks. The grain dealers
association seems to have great influence
and is doing everything II can to prevent
the building of the farmers independent
elevator.
II they cannot get a location at Benedict
! there will be e movement IN locate an
| elevator at York, where there are Compel
! ing lines, and IL located at York It would
AFFECT the prices paid for grain all over
York county.
