GRAIN SHIPMENTS ATHEAD OF LAKES LACKING IN ENERGY With Only 3,000,000 Bushels of 37,000,000 Out in 10 Days, “Demand Still Lags CONGESTION LATER FEARED Receipts Since April 1 Nearly Equal to Exports This Spring So Far Duluth, May 15.—(P)—With the 28 elevators at Duluth and Superior stocked with approximately 37.900,000 bushels of grain and export demand lacking, shipments from the head of the lakes during the first 10 days of navigation show a marked decrease over the business of previous years, according to figures at the Duluth Board of Trade. While interlake navigation has been under way for more than two weeks, the first grain-laden freighter leaving here April 29, total shipments of grain down the lakes did not total 3,000,000 bushels during the period ending Saturday, and there is no im- mediate hope that demand will in- crease, it has been pointed out here by grain men. That a similar situation as cxisted last summer at the twin ports will ex- ist this year, that of having all ele- vators near capacity stock, has been expressed by grain men, although there may be a better demand for grains at a later date. With the working capacity of the elevators given at approximately 42,000,000 bushels, grain men are seeking to keep the grain moving so as not to cause a congestion that will result in an embargo, such as was the case last year. Last summer an embargo was placed on some grains for about a week, during which time elevators unloaded materially to take care of receipts by rail. This action was taken as a precautionary measure to prevent an embargo on all grains later in the season. Shipments of Wheat Surplus at Supe THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1980 grain from Duluth and Superior last year was the smallest since 1926. Reducing Elevator Supply The total shipment of grains by water this spring from the head of the lakes is 2,708,974 bushels, accord- img to figures at the board of trade, while receipts at elevators from the first of April up to May 7 aggregated 2,028,449 bushels, the majority of which was wheat. There has been a total of 2,010,889 bushels of spring. durum and winter wheat shipped by boat from here since the opening of navigation, of which amount 1,103,885 bushels were durum, 856.677 bushels, spring, and 50.327 bushels, winter. While navigation last year opened about the middle of April, shipments of all grain for the last two weeks of that month was approximately 9.000,- 000 bushels, bushels. Oats, Corn and Flax Cargoes Oats, corn and flax shipments also have been made from Duluth and Superior since the opening of naviga- tion, with 273,000 bushels of oats, 257,000 bushels of corn, and 168,085 bushels of flax being sent to eastern and Canadian elevators. Orders for grain, however, are not coming in at the rate in previous springs, the rea- sons being the over-supply, resulting in insufficient elevator space ait Buf- falo and Canadian ports. Due to this disappointing situation in the export market, it is feared that conditions are likely to continue for some time yet. Of the total of slightly more than 2,000,000 bushels of grain brought to the twin ports both by rail and water since the first of April, 1,822,694 bush- els were wheat; 74,953 bushels of corn; 59,172 bushels of barley; 42,330 bushels of rye; 24,595 bushels of oats, and 4,705 bushels of flax. Increasing Facilities With construction of grain tanks at two elevators, one here and the other at Superior, providing addi- tional capacity for 5,000,000 bushels of grain, there will be a total elevator space at the twin ports of 50,950,000 bushels, compared to the present ca- pacity of 45,950,000, of which amount from 38,000,000 to 42,000,000 bushels is listed as “working capacity.” There If You’re Overweight Reach for this new *n’ Andy record and laugh it off.

Mr. and Mrs. Demid Trihub asked the Skachenkos to take care of the'child, then an in- fant, until they should recover from the dread disease. A month later, when they went to get the child, the Skachenkos had become so attached to her that they wanted to keep her. The Trihubs agreed on condition that they legally adopt the child and treat her as one of their own.

The death was that of Mikel Skachenko, farmer living near Kill- deer. And it is his $30,000 estate which is keeping the death mystery in the limelight. | Skachenko died after drinking some home-brew beer and the state labor- | atory at Grand Forks reported that | he had died from poison. Authorities | believe the poison was contained in the beer, taken by Skachenko from his cellar and made by Mrs. Skach- enko, from whom he had become es- tranged shortly before his death. County authorities probed the mat- ter persistently but got nowhere. No arrests ever were made and the death of Mikel Skachenko bids fair to be- come one of the unsolved mysteries of western North Dakota. Recently Sheriff Lent Ross suffered @ nervous breakdown.

When tempted to over-indulge “Reach for a Lucky instead!’ the records do not show that she ever was legally adopted. Now, Mrs, Skachenko claims all of the Skachenko estate. Demid Tri- hub, interested in his daughter's wel- fare, has retained Attorney T. F. Murtha to represent the child and ob- tain for her, if possible, a share in the estate. The court battle will be on soon. Murtha hopes to obtain for the girl a half-interest in the estate, the share which would have been hers without difficulty had the Skachenkos carried out the agree- ment alleged to have been made with the Trihubs when they took posses- Sion of the child back in 1919. Until Skachenko died and the question of who should get his estate arose, the girl thought she was the natural daughter of the Skachenkos.
