Will Not Move The Elevate.

Certain concessions will OBJ
cain for Sioux City a terminal
grain ele5ator.
S..oux City has a chance to
secure the big terminal house of
the Updike Grain company
which recently burned at Mis-
souri, Valley. This elevator had
a capacity of 100000 bushels
md if an elevator is built here
it will probably be even larger.
B. S. Josselyn, general ma
nager of the Union Terminal
Railway company, who return
I'd from a fortnight in the east
Saturday, today made public a
letter which states Sioux City's
opportunity. Immediately after
the Missouri Valley fire Mr.. JOS
selyn addressed a letter to C. S.
Lefferts of Council Bluffs who
was associated with N. B. Up
like, president of the Updlke
Grain company, in his plan to
locate an elevator here, and sug-
gested the rebuilding of the
elevator at Sioux City.
NEW RAILROAD FACILITIES.
Mr.. Josselyn called attention
to the prospect of increased
railroad facilities in Sioux City
by the construction of extern
;ions of the Burlington and
Great Western and the building
If the Omaha Northern and
uggested that it was an OPP
FORTUNE time to build in Sioux
City the elevator that burned
at Missouri Valley.
During Mr.. Josselyn's abb
sence, a reply came from Mr..
Lefferts, in which he stated
that he had lost Mr.. Josselyn's
letter and consequently had not
been able to present the case
fully to Mr.. Updike.
Mr.. Lefferts stated that there
is a salvage of about $4,000 liz
| the foundation of the Missouri
Valley elevator and the unin-
jured engine house and grounds
are worth as much more.
of Sioux City can arrange to
take care of this salvage, ]
think the chances of interest
ing Mr.. Updike in the Sioux
City location are good" said
Mr.. Leffefts.
Mr.. Josselyn said today he
would Immediately take up the
matter with Mr.. Lefferts and
Mr.. Updike, and also that he
would refer it to Commissioner
Wild of the Commercial club.
RARE SITUATION IMPROVED.
Mr.. Lefferts' proposition does
not mean the offering of $780,
900 to the Updike Grain comp
any. The foundation material
which is uninjured could be
shipped to Sioux City, as could
the engines and material of the
engine house. The amount
which it is thought Mr.. Updike
would expect to be betrayed by
Sioux City would be the cost of
of transportation and any loss
caussd by moving.
The proposal of the Updike
Grain company a few months
ago to build a second elevator
in Sioux City was held up by
the complications in the Oma-
ha rate situation. 1t was then
thought the Chicago rate would
be lowered and the Minneapolis
tariff held up. That would have
cut out Sioux City. As it is the
Great Western, and, following
it, the other roads, have made
the same rates to Minneapolis
and Chicago. Under the inter.
