double somewhere in the world, but

Farmers viii Build
$4,000 Elevator
Contract Has Not Yet Been Awarded
But Work ON New Structure
Will Begin in Near
Future.

The Heppner Farmers Union de-
cided at the meeting which they held
in the court house Tuesday afternoon
that they would build a grain eleva-
tor on their property adjoining their
warehouse which will be of one hun
dred thousand bushels capacity. The
elevator will be built of wood mater
ial and the estimated cost is $4,000.
The plan of the elevator will be
about the same as the concrete ele-
vator recently completed at Pendle-
ton at cost of $91, 200. The local
farmers had at first dwelt upon the
idea of concrete elevator, but when
the cost was considered, the idea was
dropped and that of wooden eleva-
tor taken up
Those who have studied the ques-
tion say that there are many points
in favor of the concrete elevator, but
local farmers figure the wooden ele-
vator will handle present needs and
will more nearly correspond to the f.
nances in hand.
A party of farmers, consisting of
w. G. McCarty, H. Fred Tash. Dan
Rice and c. e. Jones went to Condor
today to inspect the Condor grain
elevator.
