Privileges for eighty elevators on
the 500 cutoff from Drake to Fords-
vile have been granted by w. H.
schutt, who spent yesterday in Devils
Lake. Work on several of these has
been started, but according to the 500
officials there is no possibility of all
of the grain houses being completed
this fall. It is expected, however,
that there will be sufficient to handle
the crops. At points where elevators
have not been constructed the road
has arranged for buyer at the side
track, with a sufficient number of cars
to handle the business.
