’ Generally Fair ee ee FORTIETH YEAR THE BIS BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 NEW ELEVATOR IS DISCUSSED IN STATEMENT: Bank of North Dakota Bulletin * Talks of Use by Co-opera- tive Society MONTHLY ‘STATEMENT Footings of Bank and Items} Indicate Slight Liquida- tion A proposal that the state terminal elevator and mill under construction at Grand Forks be leased to the Amer- ican Farm Bureau's wheat pool agen- cy when completed, and not operated by the state, is the subject of con- siderable discussion in the’ monthly statement of the Bank of North Da. kota, issued today. Possibility that. the plant will be state-owned but that the state-oper- ated feature will be dropped and the mill made just a cog in the co-oper- ative national scheme has aroused considerable comment throughout the state as a news fact and as indicating a relinquishment of one of the corner stones of the league program. Urges Bond Sale. Urging the sale of elevator bonds to permit completion of the plant th bank statement says that “from the immediate, practical point of view, the North Dakotq’ ill}. and elevator plant is the only ohe that the new or ganization (United Grain Growers Inc.), has any certain prospect of be. ing able to secure, and that can be put into commission in time to handle this year’s crop. The plant at Gran Forks -has a capacity of 1,659,400 bushels. It will he able to handle 480,000 bushelg every 24 hours, and i! grain were transferred at only on, third this rate, it could handle twice the volume of the 1920 wheat crop ir North Dakota grain handled by the state-owned plant could be sol through the national sales agency with as great facility as though the elevator were owned by the nationa’ organization.” Monthly Statement.

States Attorney O. B. Herigstad, and Chief of Police L. E. Byrne, of Minot, returned to that city this afternoon after finding the cars they sought \ here. ., Both automobiles were Buicks, stolen in Minot and sold to innocent pur- chasers here, _ It is understood the local men paid about $1,200 each for the cars, and their chances of recovering any of the money are not very good. The Minot officials were reticent in discussing the work of the auto; thieves in that city. Since the police began rounding: them up about 15 automobiles have been reéovered, and seven or eight men placed under arrest on charges of stealing cars, Not all of the cars were stolen in Minot. Somb of them were. stolen in Minneapolis, South Dakota and other cities and states and taken to Minot, presumably for use in whiskey running, Some have been sold in various places in the state, some of the cars being recovered in cities and in towns. Considerably Under Three-Year | Average—Figures on Other Cold Storage Washington, May 21.—Total stocks The Minot officials received “tips” from local police in the case, and received co-operation of local officials.
