upon his arrival home was informed

'em up, but he informed them that it
was a mistake and he refused to cme

been obtained by F. c. Bennett Of

producer 158 pounds of comb honey,

Gentlemen
l have been discussed pro and con
in the Independent and as yet have
said nothing but wish to make q
statement in regard to the Townley
and Ladd Dockage Law.
At the time the April 6 issue came
out l was at Willmar and missed my
copy. In this was supposed to
make statement for publication.
When returned this issue was shown
me and it made me hostile as there
was no truth in it. Shortly after my
return from Willmar George Murray
came into my office and asked me if
could tell him how much dockage
was called for by the farmer and
told him as follows: Mr.: A asked
for the yellow mustard that was in
the rye he had hauled to the Victoria
and it was returned to him." "That
Mr.. B we will call him, asked that
l return his wild oats and dockage
which l did and he received all back
but 1853 pounds and this he never called
for as it was a small amount and also
he owed me for cleaning. That a.
mount was about $500 or $3.50. So
far he has not called for the 358
pounds of dockage or paid the clean
ing bill" That was all the converse
ton that took place between Mr.. Muir
ray and myself and it was not for
publication. 4
This happened a year ago and was
no ones business but mine and the
Company's. l believe in the law and
as the law says give the farmer his
dockage, if he wants it, and will pay
the cleaning charges for same.
l have been a buyer at -Berthold
since 1912 and have a host of GUS
toners and friends and l never got
either by being knocker and as the
article in the April 9Th issue quoted
me, it was pure make up and slap
| in the face. But l am we'll enough
known among the farmers here that
they won't believe all the "bunk" that
| was said if the Berthold correspond
ent wants to dig the League or some
member why use me as the goat?
| Yours truly,

Victoria Elevator Co
P. S: l also gave away about 5000
pounds of dockage to farmer fol
his chickens this last fall as I needed
the bin room.
Geo. Murray wanted to know just
what percentage of dockage wa:
called for and told him about ont
per cent and, that was what he sait
he would publish. He had my per
mission to publish the percentage
called for and nothing else.
