One of the passengers noticed the
lonely grave on the hillside, but as he
could not decipher the inscription he
dismissed the subject with some COM
monplace remark to his fellow travel
ers. After some deSultory converse

threatened to be nasty night.

The interest of the travellers was at

lowing words:

stopped in his tracks with his hand to

After moment or two we could hear
heavy groans, which were comm

was strange sound, but anyway we
mustered courage enough to investigate,
an by the light of the lantern we could

Next day the coroner came; and, after

Dan paused in his narrative to relight
his pipe, which had gone out during the
recital. No one spoke, but some of the

half anxiously around the room, which
was quite dark in the gathering dusk.

THE COAL TARIFF QUESTION

A meeting was held yesterday after
noon at the rooms of the railroad COM
mlssloners. There we're present three
railroad commissioners, A. G. McGilli-
vray of Dickinson, g. w. Thompson of
Bismarck, and R. NJ. Tuttle of Mandan.
A proposed coal tariff submitted to the
Northern Pacific Railroad company was
under discussion. This tariff provides
for a reduction of rates on coal to all
points east of Bismarck. It gives a rate
OF Az cents a ton more to Bismarck and
Mandan from Dickinson than from Sims.
But to points east of Bismarck the rate
is rs cents a ton more from Dickinson
than from Sims. The rate from Sims to
different points per ton of 2,100 pounds
is as follows: Fargo, $2.35; Mapleton,
$3.50; Casselton, 1925; Buffalo and
Tower City, 1920; Valley City, $2.1O;
Sanborn, 5000; Jamestown, $1.75; Car
rington, 1925; Steele and Dawson, $1.5O;
Menoken, $l.25. A comparison between
these rates and the old rates can be made
when it is stated that the old rate was
$500 a ton from Sims to all points east
of Bismarck and including jamestown,
and $3.50 a ton between Valley City and
Fargo, inclusive.
The railroad commissioners took no
action, but stated that they would have
another meeting on Wednesday of next
week, at 2:30 p. m, at the capitol, at
which they desire to have present all
parties who have interests in coal mines
in the western part of North Dakota.

This bill makes the commissioner of ag-
riculture and labor ex-oficio dairy COM
missioner, and prescribes his duties. Mr..
Haugerud is an economist, and has given
this subject some study. At present the
duties of the commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor are underlined, and at
worst not very arduous. Mr. Haugerud's
bills will give him something to do and
at the same time accomplish for North
Dakota what a dairy commissioner has
accomplished for Minnesota-made for
the state a reputation for dairy products
second to none in the country. We are
sadly deficient, at the present time, in
proper safeguards against impure arti-
cles of food, and Mr.. Haugerud's bills
introduced yesterday, seem to fill the
bill.

officers who absented themselves from
duty during the holiday recess, to devote
that portion of their salary for that
period to the needy of the state. Mr..
