Show EtEVATOR AT OASIS. While the editor has been working for the past eight months trying to secure subscriptions from the farmers farm-ers and others to build an elevator for the Farmers' Union a few of the moneyed men at Oasis have got busy and an elevator and big store will probably be built there within 60 days, h will cost about 110,000 and the general gen-eral store will be the biggest mercantile mercan-tile concern in the county. There will be a seed cleaning plant In connection con-nection with the elevator. It Is .also planned to Improve the road from Oasis to the reservoir so as to make easy transportation for the farmers on th north tract and Abraham. The elevator and big store will be a great boost for Oasis and will undoubtedly secure the trade of a large proportion or the farmers of tbe west and south tracts and hold Oasis as the shipping point for the neighboring towns. It would have been a great thing for Delta and a profitable Investment for the farmers had tbe proosed farmers farm-ers elevator been erected at Delta but apparently the farmers are not yet ready for co-operation while Ielta baa no men with money to Invest If the elevator Is a go there Is little doubt but what the railroad would make their proposed branch line to the north tract connect with tbe main tine at Oasis, for there would be no reason for connecting It at Delta then. It would also mean the building of a beet sugar factory near Oasis when tbe country was ready for a factory. |
