In a conversation with Mr. Weckbaagh Tuesday he atated that work would be oomnyenced this week and that John Walter Johnson, an elevator contractor, would be hare to begin the work of constrnotion. The idea ia to push the elevator and mill so as to handle this season's orop of grain, which meant that the work mast be done within the next two months. The new elevator will be built on the lots facing Front street near the oreainery bat jast far enough away to be safe from fire. The material will be reenforced ooncrete now need so genesaily. A spur will be built by the rail road company and they hare al ready arranged to put this in. The elevator will have a capacity of 75,000 bushels.
