FOR MORE FARMERS ELEVATORS.

The enthusiastic discussion of the
policy of building and operating farm
ers' elevators at the Grain Growers
convention at Fargo yesterday, en-
phasize the position maintained by
The Evening Times-that the most
serious question that confronts the
farmers of North Dakota today is that
OF marketing their products without
paying an eXtortionate tax to those
who profit by handling the grain.
The money that the farmers of this
state pay for the privilege of exer-
cising their rights to sell their own
produce is the greatest graft in the
history of the country, and yet those
who are loudest in their professions
of devotion to the public good are
most silent on this question.
AS President Worst pointed out, the
four or five cents per bushel saved
by the construction of line elevators
meant the enormous sum of 100000
annually to the hard wheat growers
of the Northwest.
Farmers elevators and in fact farm
ers' business organizations have been
subjects of ridicule because it was
claimed that the farmers lacked bust
ness experience. But aside from the
fact that the greatest business in the
country is that of agriculture The
To hovo nj
their ability to successfully operate
elevators as well as other businesses.
1t is we'll known fact that farmers
throughout this state are paying
tribute of five cents per bushel on an
average more than legitimate bust
ness profit for the privilege of selling
their grain through the old time sys-
tenn.
Why should not the farmers Of each
locality join in building an elevator
OF their own and handle their own
grain? They could make fair in
terest rate on their investment in the
form of profits. and by cutting out the
four or five cents extortion now paid,
they could advance the price of their
products accordingly.
Sixty farmers each contributing
800 can build an elevator. Suppose
each has 1000 bushels of wheat, which
= a remarkably low estimate, and
save i've cents per bushel, in two
years he has had his money returned,
and then he is saving money every
year.
The farmers along the line OF the
warmers railroad last year decided

"a divorce from her husband, Frank L.
Smith, by Judge Watts yesterday on
the grounds of desertion. Smith was
miller. He was a good workman
but before the honeymoon was fairly
over he went on toot and failed to
show up for several weeks. He re-

regularity and has failed to contribute
to the support of the plaintiff In the
action, who has had to earn her own

w L. Brooks, cashier Of the Lum-
bermen's State bank of Bemidji re-
Gently had an interview with a GENTLE
man who is interested in the con-
structfon work to be done in the build
ing of the 500 extension from Duluth
to Thief River Falls, and expresses
the firm belief that the line will touch
Bemidji. The information given Mr..
Brooks, coming as it does from one
who has already been in correspond
ence with the officials of the company
regarding contract for the construc-
ton of certain portion of the line
which he is about to take, supports
the belief prevalent among nearly all
residents of that city that the 500,
providing it is built through from
Duluth to Thief River Falls, will un-
doubtedly touch Bemidji Mr.. Brooks
states that the line between Detroit
and Bemidji. according to his infor-
nation, will also be constructed and
that work on both roads will COM
mence next summer.

A PROGRESSIVE POLICY.

The fact that the firm of Rasmussen,
Bemis & Co., who are arranging to
open Il wholesale notion house in this
city, are compelled to occupy the sec
ond story of The Times block, while in
no sense inimical to the interests of
the new firm, emphasizes the need of
buildings in the city suitable for the
businesses that it is hoped will soon
be located here.
This in a sense serves to dampen
the enthusiasm of those who ought
to locate in the city.
The wholesale people now located
in the city have good buildings, but
there is not an available building now
where another one could open.
What is needed are few large bust
ness blocks that could be used for
who lesale purposes if needed.
If the buildings were here there is
every reason to believe that wholesale
establishments would come IS mat
leE VI COURSE.
Those already here have a trade
that cannot be taken from them, and
they have secured it because they
we're better able to supply the merch-
ants throughout the territory covered
than are the houses of the twin cities
or Duluth.
There is room for wholesale houses
in other lines, however.
Already notion concern is assured
and the large trade that is available
to. this city assures its success.
The enormous quantity of farm ma
chinery distributed through the north
,ern portion of North Dakota and Min
nesota would certainly justify the es-
Establishment of general distributing
houses in this city.
There is a large field for whole
sale hardware house, and fully as
large a field for drug house. True
the latter is more limited in the num-
Der of customers it would naturally
have, but there is enough drug stores
in North Dakota alone to make good
business for such concern.
There are other lines for which the
opening is probably just as good.
But the securing of these things
demands some enterprise on the part
of the people of the city. They are
not semi-charitable affairs asking for
bonus before locating, but enter
prises that build up the city.
1t is certainly the duty of the press
to push these enterprises for through
the prosperity of the city comes that
OF the press. But the business men
must help. They must be willing to
invest in the building of business
blocks for such things, and to talk
and boom the business after it is once
established.
The Evening Times knows there is
just that class of citizens in Grand
Forks. 1t has proof of their willing
ness to help any enterprise.
When this paper wanted a new
home-one suited to the needs and
requirements of a modern journal
and printing establishment, there
were plenty of men in the city willing
to build just what it wanted and on
the most favorable leases
1t was not sentiment; it was bust
ness, and they are just as ready to do
likewise for any other enterprise.
The spirit of the people is forward,
and the croaker is being relegated to
the business ash heap.
Nothing but good can come of such.
