TO BUILD ELEVATOR
Work Will Start Next Week
on $4,000 Bushel Elevator
at Ekalaka

L. R. Rolfe, who has been in
town for the past two days from
Baker, announces that all de-
tails have been completed for the
construction of a grain elevator
in Ekalaka and that building will
commence as soon as arrange
ments can be made for lumber,
probably next week. Jack Pratt
Of Willard will have charge of
the construction.
The elevator will be 26 feet
square and will have bins 60 feet
deep. 1t will have a capacity of
10000 bushels. This will be the
first building to he constructed
by the Ekalaka Milling company.
Later there will be built a flour
mill, warehouse and Office build
ings. It is planned to have the
mill in operation in the fore part
of November, by which time MIR.
Rolfe says the wheat will have
time to dry and cure sufficiently
for grinding.
1t is estimated that the elevat-
or will be completed and ready
for use by Oct. 1st. so that the
farmers hereabouts may safely
figure that they can sell this
years grain at home, rather than
make the long haul to the rail-
road.
