affairs of the association were
found to be in most prosperous
and satisfactory condition. Mr..
Stodieck, the manager in charge,

his line of business.
At the election of officers, the
men who served the past term
were reelected to act for the en-
suing term and are +. Hellwinkel
president. Fritz Heise, treasurer
Louis Stodieck, secretary.
1t was decided to separate the
profit from the hogs from the
general profits of the concern.
Hereafter the shareholders will re-
ceive the profits from the buying
and selling of the hogs. The
general condition of the affairs
was never so good and the stock
holders received their dividend.

The machine has been shipped and
is expected to arrive this month.
1t is new departure in automo-

freight to Bodie from Minden says

also to drag two heavily loaded

it is thot, it will mean much for the
future of Bodie.

THE MINDEN
WAREHOUSE

The excavation work for the
warehouse at Minden will shortly
be finished. The building will be
4Ox250 feet and will be construct
ed of brick and concrete. A
hundred feet on the east end of
the building will be used by the
Meyers Mercantile company of
Carson, who will conduct a general
merchandise business. The next
fifty feet will be taken up by the
Dangberg company for ranch
offices. The rest will be occupied
by the -four mill for warehouse
purposes. The distan af hun
dred feet between tho flour mill and
warehouse will be spanned by a
tramway. Every care will be
taken to make the building satisfy
all the requirements and it will
thoroughly up-to-date and modern
in every particular. A great con :
venience will be railroad switch
passing directly by the building
and which will greatly facilitate
