"The minutes of the union's board of directors meeting of March 28, 1908 shows a slate of officers to transact all business matters of the newly formed Union Elevator and Warehouse Company of Adams County.  Those officers were W.B. Davis, president; W.A. Swartz, vice-president; J.E. Fouser, treasurer; C.E. Moody, secretary; and Finley Urquhart, member.  They proceeded to build one of the first bulk elevators in Eastern Washington and named W.B.
