IMPROVEMENTS AT SHAWNEE.
Rock Island Is Doubling the Capacity
of Train Yard There.

Shawnee, Okla, Dec. IA big
gang of men has been put to work here
by the Rock Island Railroad company
improving and adding to the train
yard which is just west of the freight
house. The present yard has been
proving much too small, especially
during the rush of freight which has
continued all this fall, and the en-
ployes and the management are anx-
ious for the completion of the work Of
improvement. It is anticipated that
this will be finished by the middle of
January. Immense quantities of iron
and ties and ballast have been coming
in, and teams are at work grading up
the low ground just south of the pres
ent yard. The car capacity of the
yard is to be a little more than doubled,
and it is thought that this viii give
room for a year or so, although should
the freight traffic continue to grow as
rapidly as it has during the last year
further additions will be necessary at
an earlier date. The Rock Island owns
a good deal Of real estate in that sec
ton of the city and has practically un-
limited opportunity for growth. The
land on which the new tracks of the
train yard are to be laid is somewhat
lower than the rest. and the cost of the
grading will be high.

VALENTINE IS
NO MORE.
Well Known Red River Valley
Pioneer and Father of Drainage
Stricken With Apoplexy.

Ezra G. Valentine, Of Brecken-
ridge, died suddenly last Saturday
afternoon at his summer home at
Battle Lake, a short distance from
Breckenridge. He was 55 years
old and his death, which was due to
apoplexy, came without warning
and was so unexpected that even
his son and daughter who were
spending the summer with him kne W
nothing of it until they attempted
to arouse him.
Mr.. Valentine was we'll known
pioneer of northern Minnesota. AS
an attorney and politician he ac-
quired considerable prominence.
But it is on account of his efficient
work for the cause OF drainage that
he will be remembered most
throughout the length and breadth
of the Red River Valley. He was a
member of the first drainage board
appointed by Gov. Knute Nelson.
In 1902 he was candidate for the
Republican nomination for congress,
but was defeated. Since then he
has paid little attention to politics.
Lately he came into possession of a
large fortune left by relatives, and
lived at ease. He was good man,
useful citizen and friends all over
the northern part Of the state stand
sorrowing at his bier.

by Mrs. T. S. Bang, Mrs. F. P.

very creditable to her. The Judges
We're Key. Tindall, |. N. Lodoen
and j. P. Mattson, and the sum-
mary Of their markings showed that
Miss Martha Hansonsshad received
the greatest number of points and
entitled to the beautiful silver

the second highest marking. The
program was interspersed with two
piano solos by Miss Minnie Tullar,

Fined for Cruelty to Animals.

-a
Tonnes Nelson, of Newfolden, ac-
cused of cruelty to animals, had a
ury trial in justice Keenan.s court
last Friday, and was convicted and
fined S so and costs, or in lieu there
OF 80 days in jail. County attorney
Brown conducted the prosecution
and James II. May bury, of Crooks
ton, and J. j. Sutton defended.
The evidence showed that Nelson
had treated broncho in most cru
ell and inhuman manner at Newfol-
den. He tied rope around the an
imal's neck and hitched a horse to
the other end While the poor
brute was down and dragged by the
neck, he also beat it most unmerci-
fully. The state board for the pre-
vention Of cruelty to animals order
ed the prosecution. An appeal will
probably be taken.

position at genteel work, at which
he can dress neatly the year round.
This change is made by having

GOOD NEWS
FOR FARMERS
Railroads Reduce Freight Rates
on Wheat to Terminal
Points.

The Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500 Railway companies
announce a sweeping reduction in
grain rates for the Northwest ex-
terding to the boundary of Montana.
This reduction Of rates ranges from
five cents per hundred pounds from
the most distant points to half a
cent from points nearest the Twin
Cities and the head of navigation on
the Great Lakes. The new rates
show reduction Of two cents per
hundred from Crookston, Thief
River Falls, Warren and Moorhead,
and OF half a cent for Fergus Falls,
Morris, Breckenridge, Litchfeld,
Alexandria and St. Cloud. The
two cent hundred reduction ap-
plies to all stations on the St. Vim
cent line. The present rate from
Warren is IA cents a hundred, or
eight and two-ffth cents a bushel.
Z The new rate is II cents hundred,
or seven and one-ffth cents a
bushel. Thus there will be a saw
ing of one and one-ffth cents a
bushel on every bushel of graf n
marketed at Warren, and will
amount to many thousand dollars
for the farmers in this vicinity. It
is estimated that the reduction will
save from S2,OO0,O00 to So, 600, 900
for the farmers of the Northwest.
The Great Northern was the first
to announce the reduction and hence
has scored big point over the
rival lines. It appears, however,
that the reduction was agreed on at
a meeting of the northwestern
roads, forced, it is said, by the de-
velopment of the railroad situation
in Canada. The Canadian Pacific
has hauled wheat at lower rate to
lake ports than the American lines.
not because it loves the farmers
more, but because it is fighting the
construction of a parallel line.
The reduction, no matter how it
has been brought about, is a good
thing for all of us, and President
Hill desires full credit for the con-
cession, the largest share falling on
him. A prominent Great Northern
official is credited with saying:
This lowering of rates comes as
part Of plan of business partner
ship between the farmer and the
railroad company, conceived long
ago and steadily adhered to despite
all misconception and through good
and through evil report
