Sioux Fails, S. D., May 1.-The reg
ular monthly meeting of the state board
of railroad commissioners has just been
held at the headquarters of the COM
mission in this city. The members of
h board during the past few weeks,
or since their last monthly meeting,
have succeeded in regulating some in
derstale difficulties in connec-
ton with determinations in freight
rates.
These determinations were called to
the attention of the board by Donahoe

filed with the board they set forth that
they were paying Il rate for the trans
"portatiOu Of tlOur from Kansas City
which was too high, and above the rate
to Elk Point, q less distance, aud also
higher than the rate from Kansas City
to Sioux Falls.
The attention of the officials of the

road WAS called TO the complaint by the
railroad commissioners, with the reSult
that the company now has agreed to

miSSionerS a petition asking that the
railway company be required to install

the village large enough to warrant the
expense of employing an agent. The
railroad commissioners will call the at

petition and endeaVOr to adjust the
matter to the satisfaction of all on
cerned.
The Farmers Cooperative company
of FairVicW, Lincoln county. petitioned

railroad at that place. Attempts made
by the Cooperative company to secure
the desired site for the railroad COM
