NEW RATES FILED.
Distributing Tariffs for Upstate
Points Are Announced.
NOT SURE TO BE ACCEPTABLE
The New Rates Will BE Of Value tt
but One Glass Of
Shippers

The compromise supposed to have been
reached between the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, on one side, and the
shippers Of Crookston, Grand Forks and
Fergus Falls on the other, In relation to
the cancellation of the established dis
tr1buting rates previously granted by
those cities, was epitomized in new tariffs
filed to-day with the railway commission.
To-morrow's conference will disclose
the attitude OF the railway commission.
1t will surprise no one If the compromise
would prove unsatisfactory to the COM
mission.
The new rates cover only one class Of
freight. the fifth class, and will benefit
only the wholesale grocers.
The new fifth cltuss rates cover carload
lots, from the twin cities and Duluth to
St. Cloud, Brainerd, Fergus Falls, Brock
enridge, Wahpeton, Crookston, Grand
Forks, East Grand Forks, Moorhead and
Fargo.
The tariffs do not re-establish old dis
| tributing tariffs. They merely reduce the
! carload rates from the big jobbing cen
named, and do not reduce the rates under
which carloads will be broken into small
shipments and distributed.
The average reduction is 8 to AZ cents
per hundred pounds in carloads or mixed
carloads. The commodities include con-
densed milk, canned fruits and vegetaples.
pickles, kraut, canned meats, soups, sau-
sages, cider, vinegar, paper, soaps, sugar,
in minimum weights Of $4,000 pounds,
syrups. glucose, molasses and similar ar
ticles. a
These reductions will undoubtedly sat-
isfy the wholesale grocers. They will en-
able the jobbers of the twin cities to
maintain their present advantage over
Chicago. The reductions are evidently
Sv,&H did ~ rrfxy Low i0hh nr In
the northern part of the state an oppor-
tunity to save freight on shipments en-
tering their communities, instead Of on
shipments they send out. Inasmuch as the
| saving is actually effected the small job
bers are not expected to haggle over the
particular portion Of the haul on which
1t is saved. .# ...-.- ...-

the prince jumped out of the carriage
and climbed through the snowdrifts to
the gallery on the ledge over the rapids,
where he showed the way. Others fol-
lowed, and soon there was a. little crowd
with him. After viewing the American
falls the prince was driven to Table Rock
where he again dismounted. The Horse
shoe falls were clear of ice, and he got
an excellent view of them. There was a
large space of clear water below the
falls, but midway to the first bridge the
ice was still intact and firm. The prince
was driven back to the town of Niagara
Falls, and there transferred to special
electric car for the trip down the gorge.
He left the car at the whirlpool rapids
and with his suite walked down to the
bank. On returning to Niagara he was
taken to the Dowerhouse of the Niagara
Power company, and with William B.
Rankine, vice president of the corpora
ton, as his guide, he made complete
tour Of the plant.
