..JolIying'' the Farmers.

Early in the present crop year
the farmers along the lines of the
Great Northern railway were s'jollied'
by the much, heralded announce
msnt that Mr.. Hill had ordered d
20 per cent or more reduction in
grain rates, and that this action
! would force the Canadian Pacific
and the 500 Line tc reduce their
rates also. Have the farmers IN
| northwestern Minnesota realized
any appreciable advantage from this
greatly advertised act of unsolicited
grace upon the part Of Mr.. Hill?
So far as they are concerned it is
yet among the things chopped for"
| The facts in this case ara, that the
500 Pacific Line was the first to act !.
Notice had teen given by this COM
pany that a reduced rate on grain
from points along its line would be-
put in effect on a given date. The
Great Northern must, of course,
meet this cut, and before it had time
to issue a new tariff sheet. the cor
poration newspapers of the twin
cities heralded in exaggerated head
lines this generous contribution to
the prosperity of the farmers of Min
nesota. Thanks to this action of
the 500 Line the farmers of North
Dokota have -sped some advantage
from this reduction of rates. bnt as
the reduction is rapidly le-seued in
its application eastward. it amounts
to but a trifa iG Minnesota.
Illegal Consolidation.
'In utter defiance of the spirit of.
the laws of Minnesota that prohibits
the consolidation of parallel and
competing lines of railroad, Mr..
Hill and his associates of the Great
Northern railway have acquired con-
troll of the Northern Pacific railway
the pioneer in tie development of
the great northWest-and have thus
eliminated that line of road as a
competitor of the Great Northern.
On both these roads. therefore. ex

con retition of the Chicago Great
