l.. S. MILLER FINISHES HIS IN
SPECTiON OFF N. II. LINES IN
MONTANA.
WILL REPORT HIS FINDINGS
TO THOSE INTERESTED IN THE RE-
ORGANIZATION AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE.
EFFECT OF THE BROWN DECISION
The Report That SpOtters Are Busy
in st. Paul Is Not Generally
Credited,

L. S. Miller, the assistant general manager
of the st. Paul & Duluth road, who was Sc
lected by the bondholders of the Northern
Pacific & Montana to visit Montana and ex-
anime into the condition of it's lines, which
are branches of the Northern Pacific in that
state, returned to the city last night.
II haven't much to say just yet as to the
result of my investigations" said Mr. Miller
when seen at the Aberdeen hotel last night
Il simply went out to Montana to look over
the lines of the Northern Pacific G. Montana.
There are nine of them in all, aggregating
about $50 miles of road. Before the Northern
Pacific road went into the hands of a receiver
an agreement existed between the Northern
Pacific & Montana and the Northern Pacific
whereby the latter guaranteed the payment
OF the interest on the bonded indebtedness of
the former. Upon the appointment of a re-
celVer of the Northern Pacific, this agreement
was abrogated. But now that plan of re-
organization is being perfected, the bondhold-
ers OF the Northern Pacific & Montana wish
10 ascertain the value of their branch lines
to the Northern Pacific. shall submit a re-
port TO them as soon as possible

be inclined to do business on the published
schedule Of business rates.
That seemed to be the opinion of one gen.
eral freight agent, who talked over the Sues-
ton at length yesterday. When asked how
railway men generally felt over the decision,
he sai5.
':Those who have been doing business IN
der cover are not feeling very good; those
who have not do not mind it. Those who
have been securing business through rebates,
1 have no doubt, will be content to take what
they can get now and allow the rest to go.
It's mighty dangerous thing for man to
give a rebate now, and it's mighty danger
Gus thing for a man to take it. 1t means
states prison sure where it is proven
t'But will it not be hard to prove it?" was
asked.
THAT is just the point of 1t. 1t will not
be hard to prove 1t. In the case on which
the decision was rendered a man refused to
testify ON the grounds that it would inerim-
mate himself. The supreme court holds
that a man must testify. If a complaint
is made against a road and the officer is put
on the stand, he has to tell what he knows
about it or perjure himself. One man may
go on the stand and testify that another pro-
cured a rebate and then the other is put ON
and ne, has to testify against the first one.
Both of them are accordingly convicted"
Would one road put spoilers at work
against another road knowing that the
suit would mean the penitentfary for some
one if a case were proven?'
"No, don't think one road would do that
against another. But if one road has been
getting business and this business was after
wards diverted by the rebate process or some
other a road might complain to the commits
sion that it thought it's business was being
taken away unfairly. In that case 1 suppose
the commission might send out spoilers. But
this / do not think has been done, although
1 know that certain st. PauI-Chicago lines
decided a short time ago to live up to their
tariffs, and as far as possible to compel the
other lines to do Also"
A Chicago telegram received last night says
of the matter: 1.-The Western roads seems to
be the only ones that up to date have shown
any fear of the Brown decision, or, rather,
they are the only roads that seem to be max
ing a strong effort to abide by it. The Eastern
roads are cutting rates as badly on grain to-
day as they did before the decision was made,
and deeply as they would cut them had the
joint traffic association, the chief aim of which
is to prevent cutting rates, never existed

ohvlating the possibility of having on the
track between here and Spokane two wild
trains, viz, which left here Friday and yes-

ehect in Spokane today would be running on
no particular time card.
Ia addition to the through service to Port
land, other Pacific coast points such as Sc
attle Tacoma, Vancouver and Victoria will
be reached more promptly by the new
schedule, which is several hours better than
the regular summer schedule in effect last
summer.
The road will put on a buffet library car on
the new train, which will make the best
time ever accomplished between St. Paul and
Portland. In addition there are several other
changes, including transfer of the day train
to Grand Forks from the Crookston to the
Fargo route, establishing better local con-
nection. and the addition of several new local
trains.

August Anderson, formerly in the office of
State Auditor Berman, now representing the
emigration and steamship firm of A. E. John

day on business for his company.
The activity in steamship business at pres
ent is, he says, nil, owing to the rather Sc
we're storm, but he is being kept very busy
caring for the people who are settling up the
section Of the country he has under his juris-
diction. People are coming, he reports, from
Wisconsin and Michigan to settle the rich
farm lands in such counties as Aiken, Crow
Wing, Cass, Otter Tail, Wadena, and even
from the iron ranges and lumber districts.
The month just past has seen more business
done in the Duluth Office, according to Mr.
Anderson, than any month for some time
there having been already more than 1000
acres of land sold to prospective settlers.
