Freight Rates.

St. Paul.-The railroad and ware
house commission presented m,xi-
mum merchandise tariff to officials of
Minnesota roads and asked them to
show cause why it should not be
adopted as basis hereafter.
The proposed tariff is a sweeping re-
duction. There is no uniform basis
now for merchandise rates. They are
governed by competitive conditions.
The commission took an average OF
the present distributing rates on first
class freight, made for given distances
by seven roads-the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern, 500, Great Western,
Milwaukee, Omaha and Minneapolis &
st. Lous. The proposed tariff makes
a general reduction from that
average of s.33 cents, or % per cent on
atifty-mile haul; 766 cents, or 20 per
cent, on a hundred-mile haul; Os
CENTS, or 16 2-3 per cent on $50 miles:
3 70 cents orr per cent, on 200 miles;
g. 13 cents, or Is per cent, on $50 miles:
and 69s cents, or 10 per cent on soc
miles.
The railroad officials asked time to
consider the tariff and the hearing
was continued till Feb. 1. At that
time the railroads will either agree to
the rate or present ev:denc, to show
why it should not be enforced. The
commission has decided that the re.
duction is reasonable, and it is up to
the traffic officials to prove to them
that it is not.

Deer Eat Hav.

Crookston.-Deera are so numerous in
the north country that settlers on the
reservation south of Red lake are seri-
ously considering an appeal to the
state game warden to protect them
from the ravages caused by the ami
mails. Andy Higgins, homesteader
from that vicinity, says that the deer
are eating the farmers hay; that he
saw eight together on one day sur.
ruuding hay stack. :; He believes that
Game Warder Fullerton should send a
deputy to that section next fallto cut
hay for the deer so that they will let
the settlers crop alone. He says the
settlers are getting out of patience and
are liable to violate the game laws if
something is not done.
