But as any one knows, who has inquired into the matter, it is next to impossible for farmers to obtain can in the fall, the very time they need them most. So, representative farmers of Colgate and vl cinity met last week and organized the Colgate Warehouse association for the absolutely safe business of handling their own grain, thus se curing to themselves a part of the profit of the middlemen. A warehouse will be built iu the coming spring or early summer, in ample time for handling the crop of next fall. It will be large enough to furnish temporary storage "when cars are scarce," (favorite chestnut of railroad officials) and yet be built at a mode rate cost There are enough who are deter mined to have bonost weights, fair grades and fair dockage, aud all the price there is, to make this organization an assured success. If you are like miuded and would be accommodated by a warehouse at Colgate, come and Join the enterprise.

Pebbce. By the Governor: M. L. McCouuck, Sec. A special train was run up Monday to carry off a part of the wheat which had accumu lated in the elevators. It hauled out twelve car loads, or nearly 8,000 bushels. Cars are very scarce all along the Manitoba line, and elevator men find great difficulty in getting a sufficient number to keep their warehouses from being glutted. Last Saturday the Red River Valley Elevator company had to refuse wheat on account of having no storage room, and the Carglll house barely managed to squeeze through.
