Mr.. Hill hade somewhat lengthy

said they should be negotiable, made

The Question of Charges.
"Don It some people think you charge
too much for freightq' asked Judge

was the answer, "and I don It know

B. Campbell, fourth vice president Of
the Great Northern, and A. J. Costello,
who has direct supervision of elevator
business for the Great Northern, were
summoned to the witness stand, but
gave little additional information and
were questioned but few moments.
Chamber President Heard.
P. B. Smith, president of the Mime
apolis Chamber Of Commerce and man
ager Of the st. Anthony & Dakota Ele-
vator company, in response to ques-
tions, stated the Chamber of Commerce
firms have a bureau supported by as
sessments, which furnishes them all
with statistical information about the
markets. This is to define the supply
and demand which regulate prices paid
at various stations along railroad lines
where there are elevators. These prices
are sent to but one elevator man at
each station, who distributes the infor-
nation to the other elevator managers.
This saves both telegraph tolls and
time, as wiring every separate elevator
would clog the wires with business.
