| Der of bushels handled by all Of the
! company's branch elevators totaled
/ 100000.

Iowa.
One Of Edgeley's biggest boosters
is Col. Geo. D. Enyart, live stock and
real estate a%uctioneer. Mr.. Enyart
has spent a lifetime in the business
of raising and buying and selling
pure bred livestock. Coming origin
ally fro mlndiana, he has rapidly
come to the front among North Da-
kota .~auctioneers, and has taken. care
Of some big sales, among them the
big sale of horses and real estate at
Fargo last winter.
Mr. Enyart came to North Dakota
six years ago, and to Edgeley in 1910.
He began to argue his ideas in regard
to. livestock. He was practically
laughed at because of his proposal
to be selling, within a few years, cows
to his neighbors for sixty dollars
apiece.
! In a real estate way, Mr.. Enyart
has taken his hard luck along with
the rest. One year his grain aver
aged 81 bushels, on a piece of IS
acres, but the next year, on most Of
the same land, he took-from US
acres-2s22 bushels of grain. MI.
Enyart disposed of 800 acres of land
for a client last March. He has sales
all the time, in their season, and
covers LaMoure county like a cloud.
Only twice-and then when he was
occupied eisewhere-has O sale in the
county been cried the last season by
anyone else.
Mr.. Enyart is a good advertiser.
He knows it pays The best farm
papers carry his ad, and when he
cries a sale OF unusually large pro-
portions, he carries liberal space in
state papers. Last winter before he
held the stock and real estate sale
at Fargo, he spent close to 500 ad.

La Moure county, says Mr.. Enyart,
has more registered horses than any
other county in the state.
Edgeley has q meat market which
for equipment, for cleanliness and for
businesslike methods is unsurpassed
by any in North Dakota. The only
one this side of the twin cities which
approaches it is mi at Aberdeen,
IS. D. This meat market at Edgeley
is owned by G. E. Bowlby, who has
had charge of the plant at that town
for about six years. Mr.. Bowlby is
an old hand at the business, has
worked in Illinois, run a shop at Red,
field. and in Aberdeen, S. D..
The feature of the Edgeley meat
market is its up-to-date system of re-
frigeration. The cold storage outfit
which Mr.. Bowlby installed two years
ago, which he put in at a cost Of
thousands of dollars. The outfit con

tubes over an inch in diameter run

distance; and four thousand feet Of

horse power engine, a Delaware COM
presser and a force pump are used
to distribute the ammonia and the
