A SHORT time since the Northern Pacif-
ic voluntarily reduced the rae on grain
and again made large reduction in
west bound feed aud grain rates, for the
benefit of settlers whose crops had suffer
ed from drouth. Yesterday auother re
duction, equally voluntary, was apuouc-
ed in the passenger rates, from six and
eight cents, to five cents per mile. The
old pioneer line has again aud again dem
onstrated It's willingness to do the right
thing BY its patrons, and always without
being compelled to d. so. Itis ques-
iion whether any road in the country
without competition forIthe most part, and
making as long hauls over unproductlve
sections, does as we'll by people living
slong its lne, as the Northern Pacific.
Its management knows exactly the neces-
sities OF its people and its disposition in
liberal concessions of rates, wherever the
business would allow them. has been Of

ONE of the first straws that has ap-
peared, as to what kind OF business Will
grow cut of the completion of the new
Northwestern connection south from
jamestown, is the following from the
Yankton Press aud Dakotian:
ga Northern Pacific car is being loaded
with grain at this station to go via the
North western TO Oakts and jamestown,
and thence on the Northern Pacific to
Montana, where grain and hay are scarce.
At so'ne twenty places IN Dakota these
cars are being loaded with grain or hay
for shipment west. The connection now
made by the Northwestern and Northern
Pacific roads at Oskes opens up business
fields for many Dakota business men.
Thestide of passenger travel from South
Dakota will soon begin to flow north to-
wards the rich and fertile lands of the
Northern Pacific country, and If trains
can be run to arrive here in the evening,
the town vll be sprinkled with strangers
and hotels boarding houses, real estate
men, livery men, and ali classes, WI

the southern states, the easiest way OF
getting from north to south, and The

cation and freight transportation besweer
