Will Build Elevator in Time For Small Grain Marketing.

Babcock & Hopkins have had very little time to consider the matter of rebuilding. Their time is occupied in getting the various affairs of their business adjusted and in settling up the insurance. The adjuster is here. He represents ajl the nine companies in which the elevator and the grain was insured. Several salvage men are on hand to look over the grain and make an offer to the insurance companies for it. The burned and smoked and water soaked grain is being loaded in cars for shipment, but the process is slow, as an effort is being made to grade it to some extent, the best being loaded apart from the other. Mr. Hopkins said to a Republican representative this Tuesday morning that they expect to build in time to be ready for handling the small grain from the summer harvest. As soon as the insurance matters are adjusted they will take up the building project and expect to determine the material to be used in the new elevator and then will push its construction vigorously.
