UPDIKE TOSELL ALL ELEVATORS IN SMALL TOWNS Explains Action in Asking Can cellation of Public Ware house Licenses.; Lincoln, Neb., July 29. (Special.) The Updike Grain Co. of Omaha, which recently asked the state rail way commission to cancel several public warehouse licenses which it held for elevators at various points of the state, has written the com mission a letter explaining 'its rea son for such action. It states: "We are canceling our licenses as public' 'Warehousemen at country points for" the reason that we are disposing of our country elevators, selling them to local grain dealers and "to farmers. We at one time had about 100 elevators in Nebras ka, while, at the present time we have only 10, and they are all of fered for sale at reasonable prices. It would interfere with the sale if we Jbad grain stored in them for others. ' .'.- "It is our opinion, and always has been that everyone who stores grain for the public should take 4out licenses and become warehousemen. Our terminal elevators,, at 'Omaha and other points are open to the pub lic an&?we are very gladto throw tliem open for storage of grain and always expect to as long as we operate them. Of course, storing grain at a' terminal market and at a country point are entirely different propositions. Some elevator men, and this 'includes some farmers' eleva tors, fell that they should not store for the public and they have good arguments on Jheir side, but this is a matter of'opjnion. All people han dling grain "will never, be . able to agree on any one system."
