were no plans for the future of the
trackage site vacated.
Located on the Northern Pacific
tracks, on a site just stones throw
from Main Street, since 1896, the
elevators passing marks the ma
terial end of grain activity as it
was known at the turn of the CEN
fury.
But oddly, it falls at time when
cooperative movement is building
a new 35,000-bushel structure known
as the Farmers Cooperative Ele-
vator Company. Sank Centre, with
the Mill still active, makes a new
important bid as a grain depot and
buying station-nearly fifty years
after the erection of the building
that now is wrecked.
The building was erected in 1896,
abstracts in the office of j. F.
Cooper show. In 1909 it became a
part of the Central Minnesota Pow
er Milling company. During those
years preceding and during the
war, as a part Of the mill, it saw
active service. It was owned then
by w. M. Parker. In 1880 it chang
ed hands again and became the
property Of Mr.. Hillerud and the
late Howard Bishop. Builders OF
the structure were w. 0. p. Hills
dale and B. Willis Howe, one time
merchants of this city.
