G. N. KNIFES GRAIN RATES.
Sweeping Cuts Made in District East
of Montana.

Just as the movement of the grain
crop is about to begin the Great Nor
thern railroad has announced a sweep.
ing reduction in grain rates through
out it's eastern territory, extending to
the boundary of Montana. Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
lions in the western section. The new
rates, it is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources OF the far
mers of the northwest.
The reduction is not made, it is
claimed, in pursuance of any pressure,
but as voluntary act and in the
words of an official, "a profit sharing
road and the tillers of the soil of the
northwest mat has been fundamental
in the management of the Great Nor
thern''
This reduction of rates ranges from
5 cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to a half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From WillistOn, n. D., distant from
the head Of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is 5 cents per 100 pounds.
The meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of bat
tie or the signing of some advantage
Gus commercial treaty." said promi-
nent railroad official. ut affects the
entire grain product of the northwest,
for the same rates have been met by
the Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in
the same territory and tributary to
it. You can not tell how far a move
ment like this will reach. 1t will mean
a saving of more than 200,OOO,OOO bush
els to the ordinary market. This foots
up $2,O00,O0O to 100000 that will
remain in the pockets of the farmers,
Of which the Great Northern will con-
tribute at least one half.
This movement is not only volun-
tary, but the revenue thus RENTED
can not be made good from any other
source. There can be and is intended
to be no increase OF rates elsewhere
to correspond. Moreover, it is made
in the face of the fact that in the
three years that have elapsed since
the last reduction of rates was made
the pay of employees in the various de-
partments of the system has been ma
terially advanced, adding that much
to the cost of operation"
Those rates ara made in rom not itiOn
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
cific, and astound the officials of these
roads, who are at loss to understand
it's meaning. Railroad men say that
President Hill has determined to make
ness enemy, Tom Lowry, president of
the road.

Dynamite at SARATOGA.

Saratoga, N. 1.-TWO loud explo-

sections of Saratoga startled visitors
and set afoot stories about dynamite
plots. While very little actual dam
age was done, there can be no doubt
that some violent explosive was used.
The question is whether it was the
work of a practical joker or of some
person intending mischief, who failed
to carry out his plans.
