ELEVATOR MEN ARE PAY
ING OVER LIST PRICES
Rivalry Among Outside Towns for Early Crop
Sends Grain Prices Skyward

Nearly all the towns up and down
the line have been paying over list
price for grain coming onto the mar
ket since threshing started. Barley
appears to have been in the greater
demand with the old line houses up to
the time that the rains of the past
week had been able to injure the
grade of the unthreshed crop sti
standing in the fields. Grain buyers
at Hannah are reported as having
offered as high as five cents over list
price for barley and in most instances
the advance has been met by both
Wales and Dresden buyers. Down the
line Easily has been boosting the
prices in its competition with Lang
don for its share of the grain tribu-
tary to the two towns, while the same
rivalry has been in evidence between
the grain markets at Osnabrock and
Milton. All the towns along the line
have been doing lively business
since the crop began to move and it is
estimated that the daily grain ship
ments from the seven towns in Cava-
lier county along this branch: since the
season opened has exceeded twenty
five cars day.

steps were being taken to prefer the
more serious charge of white slavery
against Carter. The full name of the
