At Saxon station, in the center of the new district, a targe warehouse Has Just been completed and filled.

Thirty thousand sacks of grain are now in storage, representing the first year's crop and hundreds of adcJIK tlonal acres will be under cultivjp-, tion next season. Charles Blakemore, secretary of the Saxon Grain Growers' Association, superintended the loading of the big new warehouse and so ar ranged with the builders that the warehouse was being filled as the construction work progressed.
