new rate on lumber from Superior to
Sioux City, Sioux Falls and other points
will go into effect tomorrow. The new
schedule which reduces the present rates
to these points has been agreed upon
by all the roads at the head of the lake
and is the result of long and bitter
fight at the hands of the lumber inter-
ests. The reduction will benefit the lum-
Oermen of Superior who have a market
in the West or at points between here
and the twin cities, but will not help
them to compete with st. Paul and Min
