The New Elevator.

TIE work of rebuilding the
large elevator of the Updike
Grain Co. at this place is pro-
crossing rapidly and the seven
ty foot height in cribbing will
be completed today. This leaves
only the roofing of the build
ing and the completion of the
operating department when it
will be ready for business, which
it is expected will be not later
than February LIST. Ever since
the middle Of October from 100
to ITO men have been employed
on the building and the weekly
pay roll of the company for
labor has been from $1,000 to
$1,000 per week. The building
when completed will be the
same size as the old one in the
storage part, but the operating
department will be 40 feet
higher than the former elevator
which was 124 feet. This
| chance is necessary from the
fact that in the new building
the hopper instead of track
scales will be installed and by
this means the operating de-
partment will do double the
amount of work as formerly
and can handle so instead Of 25
car loads of grain day.
The Updlke Company has eX-
tended it's business rapidly in
the past few year and now has
thirty-fve elevators tributary
to this point. This elevator
which will have a capacity of
625, 600 bushels is to be u-ed as
a cleaning station for smaller
elevators in addition to buying
grain at this point. The COM
pany did a large volume
of BUSINESS last year and there
is no doubt that with the new
building and increased facilities
for handling grain their bust
ness will be greatly increased
in the future.
