Six large grain elevators are to be

fry. Work on the elevators at Red
Lodge and Townsend will commence
at once.
Samuel J. McCaull of Minneapolis,
a representative of The Hawkeye com
pany, was In Billings last night, hav-
ing returned from Red Lodge, where
he inspected the site for the proposed
elevator. It will be situated on what
Is known as the passenger track and
just north of the depot. It will have
q capacity OF 10000 bushels and will
be equipped with q - horsepower
gasoline engine and with feed mill
and cleaner. The cost Of 1t will be at
least $4,000.
With MI. McCaull vas ]. H. Early,
a representative OF the McCaull-Web-
ster Elevator company, which intends
erecting elevators in the Judith Basin
country. MI. EARLY said that his com
pany would erect SUFFICIENT elevators
to handle the grain crop Of the re.
gion, which is developing in Yellow
stone, Meagher and Fergus counties.
He could not make public the exact
location Of the elevators his firm will
construct, but said they will be To-
Gated between Judith and Arlington,
on the new Billings & Northern rail-
road.
j.. r. Lathrop, who will have charge
OF the elevator It Red Lodge, was
also with Mr.. McCaull.
1t is the intention of the company
erecting the elevators in Red Lodge
and the district south and west OF

sumers and ship the remainder of
what they purchase to some eastern
market, probably Duluth. MI. McCaull
said last night that he has local orders
for nearly all the first class milling
wheat his company can buy. It is
expected the new elevators will fur
nish much Of the wheat used BY the
Touring mills Of eastern Montana.
The full details as to the number
OF elevators and warehouses which
will be erected in this section OF the
state by The Hawkeye Elevator COM
pany have not vet been determined,
a S the number will depend entirely on
the amount of grain grown. The COM
pany has just disposed Of some lum-
Der yards and elevators in the Dako-
tas for $4,000, and It is the inten-
ton to invest all Of that sum in ele-
vators in the vicinity Of Billings this

prepared for. The Investigation Of
these capitalists means much to Bill
ings and the surrounding country
since It Is the intention, eventually. to
extend the electric lines from Billings
to Butte and from here to- Great Falls

the richest and most populous section
Of Montana, bringing light and power,

ises Q for the development of the
sections through which Its lines will
pass. perhaps, than any other single
enterprise in the state.
The rapid growth OF Billings and
vicinity require the employment Of
vast sums Of money, and, to keep
pace with events, and to take ad-
vantages Of the opportunities present
ed, 1t has been found necessary to go
outside Of the city for financial as
sistance. To the credit. of Billings, be
it said that no difficulty vas encount-
cred, such as sometimes block the
progress Of other enterprises. Investi-
cation exhibited resources far beyond
the representation OF local capitalists,
and the eastern financial men are
more than pleased with the project,
which means not alone that they shall
profit by the venture, but that the en-
tire country will share In the bene-
fits. and 2 positive advantage will &C
crle to all alike, for success to one,
means success to all.
