MARKETING IS EXPENSIVE Estimated That It Will Cost Farmers from $50,000 to $750,000 to Haul Crop of 1911 to Shipping Points. Shafer.—The fact that McKenzie Is without railroad facilities will cost the homesteaders, In round numbers, approximately $500,000 to $750,000 this year, that cost being the amount that they will be required to expend in hauling their products to market, and the estimate is based upon a thorough canvass of the situation as it has ex isted-in former years, and the further fact that this county, according to the present prospects, appears likely to harvest a crop of between 3,500,000 and 6,000,000 bushels of grain. From some sections of this county, a thorough study of the situation ex isting indicates that the cost of trans porting grain from the farm to the market runs as high as 25' cents. That, of course, Is the exceptional case, but It Is generally estimated that the av erage cost of marketing all grain in the county is about 15 cents a bushel because of the fact that in some dis tricts the roads are not of the very best steep hills make big loads on some roads impossible, while there also are various other conditions to contend with. Citizens of McKenzie county a county comprising over 1,600,000 acres —are anxious that railroad facilities shall be afforded them, and look to the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific as likely entrants, with the former entering from Willlston, and the latter continuing its Mandan" to Stanton line into the county. Although the cost of transportation will be high this year, it Is not as great as it has been in former years, TWINE! TWINE!

Minnesota's brewing companies have taken a deep interest in the pro ceedings with a view to testing the constitutionality of the law, and In order that such an action may be brought about, an appeal will be tak en by the prosecution. Gas Franchise for Williston. Williston.—An ordinance granting a 'franchise to Col.

Carrington.—Not one penny has yet been deposited In Uncle Sam's postal savings bank which opened In this city for business June 27, and as a result Carrington people are not very much enthused over the new establishment.
