,Wherfas, We find: 10, the official report
of the statfstician Of the department OF
agriculture for April, 1888, that the rate
for :. transportation OF wheat and other
grain in car load lots over the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway between
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago, a dis.
lance OF $50 miles, is IL 1-2 cents per 100
pounds; assuming this is an equitable and
reasonable rate for TRANSPORTING
wheat 420 miles, to transport It sl5 5
miles. the distance between Moorhead and
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, TIA
cents per 100 pounte wnuld be an equal
ana reasonable rate: But allowing that
among numerous tailrouds between St:
Paul, MINNEAPOLIS ind Chicago, and the
larger volume Of traffic, by which they cAn
afford to transport wheat at lower tate
than between Moorhcad and st. Paul
Minneapolis and Duluth, WE will add 40
per cent to this equal rate according to
distance, which will make it rate Of
800 cciits, Or, to avoid fractions. 10
cents per 100 pounds. We deem 40 per
cent in ia*or Of the roads reaching our
territory, which haul probably more
wheat than any other two roads in the
United States, is sufficient; therefore,
