Xow let us see what has happened in this Sioux City-Wynot territory, states the Grain and Feed Review of Minneapolis. First of all the grain rate by t^ail to Sioux City and the east was three cents per hundred from line. N'ow the rate is 10 cents a bushel to Sioux City. Coal wa.s laid down in the fur- thest town for 20 cents a ton. while at present truckers are offering to deliver coal to close-in points at $2 a ton. Farm values have depreciated from 50 per cent, to 75 per cent. Some farmers are 50 miles from a railroad. Homes in the towns erected at a cost: of $4,000 are begging buyers at levels as low as S500 and there are no buy- ers. Lastly the Omaha road paid f'28,- 000 each year in taxes and this suttx has been shifted over to the remain- ing taxpayers. This is not a nice picture, yet if the rural merchants and the rural com- munity does not awaken , it is a .scene that is going to be enacte<! in scores of towns that are to-»iay thriving trad- ing points. â€" Menominee Herald-Lead- er.
