HALF illLLION DOLLAR DEAL
Ferguson Elevators Have Been Sold to Updike
Lincoln Man Retains But a Few of His Houses in Grain to
Protect His Mills
W H Ferguson has sold a string of about seventy elevators
to the Updike Grain company of Omaha Most of the elevators
are in Nebraska It is understood that the purchase price is not
far from a half million dollars Out of his holdings Mr Fergu
son saved a few elevators to protect his milling interests
Several of the best houses in the best part of the Nebraska grain
belt were retained Mr Ferguson owns three mills one at
Aurora one at Hampton and one at Wray Colorado The big
elevator at Lincoln the largest in the string is included in the
deal with the Updike company The next largest located at
McCook was also sold
I disposed of these elevators said Mr Ferguson last even
ing because I had more business than one man can attend to
profitably I desired to go into the exporting business at St
Joe and Kansas City and to be relieved from the country station
business I will continue to make my home in Lincoln
Of course members of the Updike Grain company do not
live in Lincoln but the sale will in no wise hurt the grain inte
rests of this city More and more grain will go through JLincoln j
oraiii iiiusl eveinuaiiy go ine uiiccl louLeb mere is no reason
why grain should be hauled over round about routes to get rates
and I believe rate adjustments of the future will obviate the
necessity for this
Ot this deal the Omaha Bee said last evening One of the
largest elevator deals ever transacted in the west was consum
mated in Omaha Friday by the Updike Grain company which
bought the Ferguson line of elevators on the Burlington in the
South Platte country seventy five in number from W H Fer
guson of Lincoln These elevators are situated in Nebraska
except one at Fort Morgan Col and will add tremendously to
the business of the Omaha Grain exchange as the Updike com
pany is strictly an Omaha concern with head office in Omaha
The Updike company increased its capital stock January i to
1 coo 000 with a view of acquiring additional elevators in Ne
braska and has been negotiating for some time with Mr Fer
guson who will retire from business The Uodike comDanv has
j been broadening out since the first of the year and has out-
S 1 1 fit 1 r 1 11 in
grown its present quarters so tnat on iuarcn ist it win move
into the first floor of The Bee building J A Kuhn formerly
assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Northwest
ern with jurisdiction over the lines west of the Missouri river
has joined the Updike Grain company giving that company an
experienced grain rate and railroad man Lincoln Journal
