Sask Wheat Pool Elevator


Tom Murray was the Pool Agent when we were living in Carragana. They moved to Yorkton in 1966 and we moved to Naicam in 1967. When my dad died and Tom's wife died Tom and Doreen got together and they married in 1995 and live in Yorkton.


The gas motor that ran the elevator sounded like this putt, putt, putt, it ran a big belt under the office that transferred the power through pulleys, gears and various implements of destruction.

Tom hired Bernie and I to shovel grain in an annex when he was loading box cars. It always was when the weather was hot and dry.


Carragana had one Wheat Pool Elevator, One Federal Elevator and one seed plant Newfeld Seed and Feed was run by my friends dad Mr Friske.
