Threatened Rate War.

1t is now not likely that there will be any
serious disturbance 1t thp cAistiug passenger
rates until the iiianagers' agreement expires
on December /. Then period unexceled for
livliness in railway circles may be looked for.
The new roads which have opened up conmu-
nication between St. Paul and Chicago are
anxious to advertise themselves and will prob
ably endeayot to secure share Of the public
patronage through the popular methods Of low
rates. The other roads in, order to protect
themselves, will be obliged to follow suit, and
as result, rates will be forced down to bed
rock basis. It would seem, hoWeVor, that the
competition might take more healthy FORM
Rivalry in the matter OF safety, comfort and
speed would be as mnch appreciated by the
travelling public as low ering Of rates and
| would be a form Of competition less injurious
10 the bnsiness interests OF the different CON-
panes. But if rate war must ensue, let the
managers take philosophical view of the sit
uation, and bring it about in way to most
largely benefit the community, about the time
Of the grand ice carniyal.-St. Paul Globe.

a warehouse Of sufficient dimensions to store
wheat when there happens to be a scarcity OF
cars. A preliminary meeting was held about
two weeks since, and another meeting will be
held to morrow afternoon at the Colgate school
house, TO which all farmers in the neighbor-
hood are invited. Farmers warehouses have
proved beneficial in other localities, and there
is no reason why it will not tend to improve
matters at Colgate. 1t ia at least worth trial,
and we therefore hope that every farmer will
make 1t his business to be present at the meet
ing and lend his assistance In furthering the
object in view.

81. PAUL, Nov l7,:-fhe snow storm which
began here Monday night has now e p. m.)
been raging for nearly forty-eight hours, and
shows no signs Of abatement. The street cars
have not been running in either st. Paul or
Minneapolis to-day, and traina gu all railroads
arc three to Blk hours late. While the storm
seems to he general throughout the Northwest
it is most violent in southern Dakota. A Sioux
Falls special says: More snow has already fallen
than during the entire season last wiuter. The
wind is blowing a Aea1y gale from the north
aud drifting tho snow very badly. Trains on
nearly all roads are abandoned. The tempera-
tlre is at zero and falling.

Riverside TQWAshlb

Editor Hope Pioneer,
Dear Sir: WIN you kindly give this space in
your paper In your Issue OF tho 18th inst,
there appeared an article on the surest way to,
build up a town. do not wish to get into a
controversy over 1t, but SIMPLY want to state a
farmers view of 1t.
You say 'there seems 10 be a growing incll-
nation oil tho part Of some Of cur people to
seend away for goods that can be obtained OF
as good quality and as cheap right here in
Hope" Do you want better evidence than thas
that our merchants are overcharging us2 Do
you or our merchants suppose that the people
send off for goods without Just cause? 1t has
been my experienced hat upon whatever have
sent away for have saved from rs to 30 per
cent, and think others have found it SO, or
there certainly would not be that growing in
cination to send away for goods that you
speak Of. You say, also, trent and clerks
hire Is higher in the cities than in the
country" That may be the case with rent,
but not with clerks hire. Ii is q known fact
that clerks in cities are not as we'll paid as kepc.
You fnrtbers say that ''it is fact Of easy demon
stration that there are certain kinds Of goods
which actually retail for less in the country
than they do in the cities." That certainly is
not fact unless it is potatoes, butter and eggs,
and II there are any goods sold in Hope for
less than they can he bought in the cities, I
and others have failed to sec them. Trot them
out gentlemen, and do not hide them under
the counter. We are all anxious to see them.
think they will draw as large crowd as a
circus, and as often. And as for our merchants
accommodating us with credit, they certainly
do, but it also an open secret that we pay them
a snug little per ceht. abovo their profit, and
very often they will require secured note to
accommodate US until fall. While l believe in
patronizing home institutions and home trade.
I do not believe in doing it at the expense of
the farmer. think our merchants ought to
give us cheaper goods to build up the country
With as, without the country back OF it, our
towns would soon not need any building up.
But, taking wheat at IS cents, and half a crop
and in some instances less,o farmers DO not
feel much like building up towns at their own
| expense, therefore they must look for cheap
goods. II they cannot find them in Hope, they
must 60 elsewhere. Very respectfully yours,
Gnlafiu n r. Oetnhor e1 1893

The farmers in the neighborhood Of Colgate
seem determined to make strong effort to
relieve themselves Of the burden imposed upon
them by the elevator companies. They are Of
the opinion that they eau get better weights
and better prices by shipping their grain d.
rect to market without placing 1t in the eleya-
tor, and they propose to organize an aasopia:.
tion for that purpose. 1t is not the intention
OF the association to enter into competition for
the purchase Of grain with the elevator com
papy, but when farmer is dissatisfied with
the price, grade or weights Of the elevator COM
pany, the association will offer him the means
Of shipping his grain at the lowest possible
cost. 20 accomplish this it is proposed To erect
