PACKING
HOUSE MASS MEETING
EVERYBODY BOOSTS FOR THE

AT PUBLIC AIBRLRY - FIFTY
FOR SPECIAL TRAIN.

A hundred and fifty Minot citizens
attended an enthusiastic mass NEST
ing at the Public Library Tuesday
evening, the packing house PROPOSE
ton being discussed from it's various
angles. There was no one present
but who believes that a packing plant
will do wonders for Minot and the
entire state.
The meeting was called to order by
F. B. Lambert, president of the As
sociation of Commerce, who stated
that Minot was pleased because the
Equity was considering locating this
plant here. He spoke of the 80 con-
ventions held in Minot last year and
the big conventions to be held next
year. He introduced J. A. Roell,
chairman of the evening. Merton
Whalen was elected secretary. Mr.:
Roell stated that there were several
present who were able to present the
Equity proposition. Grant S. YOU
mans was called first. He said that
since he has lived in Minot he has as
sisted in landing many excellent
things for our city, the Normal school,
library, ETC., and he now sees an OPP
portunity whereby Minot can land a
big industry. The labor problems
make it hard to secure factories for
it is hard-for a prairie country to COM
pete with the labor centers of the east.

Saturday evening at Nulph's Hall.
Glen Roberts and Gus DuQuaine met
to decide long discussed match. Du-
Quaine at 1873 pounds had all the ad-
vantage superior weight affords, but
beyond this has little to suggest that
his claim as wrestler need be taken
seriously On the other hand Roberts,
who secured the first fall in z minutes
and the second in even less time, gave
evidence of familiarity with the scien-
tific side of the art. Art Sillman
and Russell Gard refereed.
There are many who, as in previous

But an idea exists that there are coun-

swapping yarns in the local Senate
House, we believe there would yet be
found few who would find pleasure

E. S. Waterman of Des Laos says
that a farmer can pay for the expense
Of fencing his land in about two years.
Farmers who now have their land
fenced are letting their stock pick up
the feed in the fields that otherwise
would have been wasted. Mr.. Water
man bought his posts in large quanti-
ties for 10 IL cents apiece, laid down,
and says the expense of fencing a
quarter with two wires was about
$3.50.
E. E. Burdick of Douglas, was in the
city on business yesterday. Mr.. Bur-
dick started in dairying in small
way few years ago and now has a
herd of twenty full blood and high
grade Guernsey cows. He is milking
ten at present. Three of them aver
age from 16 to % pounds of milk
daily and he is feeding them but six
cents worth of ground feed daily in
addition to hay.
Minot grain men will have bought
1,225,000 bushels of grain by the end
of the season. Figuring on the basis
that on the average the grain dealers
pay 2 cents a bushel more for the
grain here than at many of the COM
petitive points, $4,000 will have been
distributed among the farmers that
might have gone into the pockets of
the grain dealers otherwise That
helps some.
L. M. Due bought a quarter section
of land near Carpio year ago. He

The Equity has done much in the way
of securing terminal market, have
practically secured a terminal eleva-
tor and now have their eyes on a CO.
operative packing plant. Montana
stockmen will welcome plant here.
Mr.. Youmans stated that Minot will
hove some red-hot competition. Val
ley City, Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils
Lake and perhaps Bismarck and New
Rockford will make bid for it. He
stated that Anthony Walton, one of
the committee on location, is loyal to
the city most suitably located.
F. B. Wood of Deering, a promi-
nent Equity man, spoke and said it is
not going to be easy shedding to land
the plant He is loyal to Minot but
did not express any preference at this
time. He said it was up to the farm
ers to make the plant success. The
finest plant in America would fail I'M
less the farmers raised sufficient
number of cattle and hogs. There is
no good reason why farmer should
sell hogs for IL cents pound when
bacon sells at from rs to IS cents.
A letter was read from Oscar He
rum, Carp1O banker, pledglng Gar
pio's support to Minot.
A letter from G. ]. Lee of Valley
City was read. He is member of the
location committee. Mr.. Lee stated
that the site, drainage, switching
charges, etc., would be taken into
consideration.
Harry Winters pledged his support
to the proposition. Ira D. Wight said
there was no argument against it:
Shipping live stock to the cities and
the butchered product back again adds
$1.5O per hundred.
VIM. Dunnell said it would tend to
make the farmers grow more live
stock. 1t would increase the value of
their stock. Mr.. Roell spoke of a
$5OO,OOO plant at Owatonna, Mimi,
backed by the businessmen.
