RATES PROMULGATED.
The Railroad Commissioners,
Publish the New Schedule.
Courts Next.

Inc muCh advertised schedule OF
rates of the North Dakota railroad
commission has been published. The
commissioners notify the railroad
companies that it is expected they will
accept this reduction, to take effect
July lst. The passenger rate is fixed
ut three cents q mile, instead of four
cents as at present. The freight rates
are classified i'll ltao pound lots and in
car loads. The distance from which
the railroad commissioners have
jurisdiction is placed st from five to
400 miles. First-class rate on mer-
chandise, per 100 pounds. for the first
100 miles is 40 cents, for 200 miles 80
cents, for 300 miles Is cents and for
400 miles 30 cents. The rate on grain
for instance. on Car load lots, in cents
per 100 pounds, for 400 miles, is l9
cents. Rates are made for shipment
of live stock, lumber and the various
classes of freight according to the
western classification.
The commission, of course, only at
tempts to exercise this authority over
the rate within the borders of this
state and therefore the schedule which
they have prepared can only affect
transportation which originates with
in the state, and is conveyed to some
other portion of the state. They have
no control whatever over rates in Min
nesota and it will at once he seen that
whether their efforts are a success or
not, as far as North Dakota is con-
cerned-and it is hoped they may be-
that the great bulk of the states traffic
will still continue at rates US hereto
fore, as it originates outside of the
state or is hauled TO points outside of
the state.
The interstate commerce commission
is the only body before which an ap.
peal for a lower rate on grain and
other merchandise could be success.
fully prosecuted and which would
really benefit the people of this state.
However, the railroad commissioners
show good faith and the reductions
which they have demanded will now be
adjudicated by the courts of the state
The wholesale shippers at Fargo
and Grand Fork, of course, would
like to have a lower out rate. They
have already been given a reduction
in rates from the east and it would
materially help the wholesale shippers
dealing with merchants and others
within the state to have this present
schedule put into effect.
The Ignite coal rate is fixed by the
code and the railroad commissioners
notify the various railroads of the
state that complaints have been made
that the railroads are not complying
with the provisions of the law in re.
gard to these coal rates and that un.
less the same is complied with pro.
ceedings for the enforcement of that
section of the code will be commenced
by the commissioners lert.

Colorado is wonderfully rich in its
state lands Despite the fact that large
tracts are being sold or leased daily,
there yet remain millions of acres OF
valuable lands which may be purchased
at prices which seem ridiculously low.
The state was originally granted by
the general government two sections, 10
and 36, in each township. A large por-
ton Of this grant was lost to the state
through various causes, and indemnify
lands were granted in lieu. OF these in
demnity lands nearly 600, 900 acres have
been selected, while about 100000 re-
main yet to be taken from the choicest
government land in the state. Besides
these grants. several hundred thousand
acres have been granted to various
state institutions by statute. Nearly
all the income derived from the sale or
lease of state lands is devoted to the
permanent public school fund. The
yearly income from leases of school
lands alone now amounts to nearly $780,,
about $4,000 more, and tohe school
lands yet to be sold amount to over
3,500000 acres.
The state has ever pursued a liberal
policy in the sale of its lands, proceed
ing on the theory that it Is for the gen.
eral good that the lands should be set
tied as quickly as possible.
In the fertile Arkansas valley, one of
the fairest regions the sun shines upon,
with ample water facilities for irriga-
ton, lands are now being sold at 81 per
acre. In less favored sections, the
price ranges from SLIPS to $3.50 per acre.
Choice farming lands are leased at an
annual rental Of 20 cents per acre.
while lands for grazing purposes can be
had under lease at 1-2 cents per acre.
The state also owns much valuable
mineral land, which is leased on most
favorable terms.
