In Wednesdays Herald our Kline
correspondent made statements to the
effect that j. r. Eaton and the Messrs.
Clearinghouse had received short
weight for their grain at the Durango
elevator. In other words, that Mr
Eaton weighed his grain before he
started to Durango with 1t and for
his weight Of 2 400 pounds he got paw
for but 300 pounds here. The CORE
spondent did not state. however. that
his weight was gross and the 'eleya-
tors weight was net that he got
credit for his grain minus the sacks
and screenings, which were returned
to him. The records of the mill show
that ]. X. Eaton brought in two loads
of grain the last OF November and one
the Sd OF this month. For these he
got credit for 1880 pounds. 2,l50
pounds and 1895 pounds. The elevn.
tor pays for the screened wheat The

also mentions that Clearinghouse
weighed his load at 1.520 pounds and

show that Mr.. Clearinghouse got credit
for 1.lso pounds of wheat and 2gC
pounds OF oats. The tare and sacks
