ninety and nine that did not nor would

against the ninety and nine is nothing
new. Many years ago some men were

was considered good place to emf

returned and gave an unfavorable re-
port, but two gave a good report and
said the country flowed with milk and

favorable report of one man, there is

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

perience With Runaway Team.
Miss Helen Lindquist, daughter OF
John Lindquist of Milo, had a mi
raculous escape from death last
Thursday. She was driving down a
hill near the Lutheran church at Free1
when a tug loosened and this scared
the horses, causing them to run away.
The pole then broke in two and Miss
Lindquist was by some means jerked
over the dashboard and landed be.
tween the front wheels of the vehicle.
She, however, held on to the lines and
managed in some way while being
dragged along the highway to turn
the horses heads towards a fence,
where they stopped. Remarkable as
it might seem, Miss Lindquist, with
the exception of a few scratches, was
uninjured. In the vehicle, besides the
heroine. were two lady visitors OF
the Lindquist family from the east and
a fve-year-old sister of Miss Lind
quist, neither of whom were injured.

Five Minute Automobiles.

tories of America turn out one auto
mobile every five minutes. This
country is making more automobiles
than England, Germany, Italy or

thousand machines are registered in
New York state, while in France,
where the machine originated, there
are not more than 1000. This shows

But the mischief done by Jesse

that is worked by the yellow paper in

holdups and burglaries are reported,
the attribution of "clever'' and
"skillful" work to safe-blowers, and

rufianly persons, the magnifying of

Great NOrthern's New Tariff.

The Great Northern Railway com
pany has filed its new tariff covering
the voluntary cut in coal rates an
nounced by it and the Northern Pa.
ciic week ago. The Northern Pa
cific tariff is already on file, and as
soon as agreed to by the railway and
warehouse commission will 90 into
effect. ..
The reduction in coal rates made by
the Northern Pacific company repre-
sented an average of from 5 to 10 per
cent, but in the case of the Great
Northern the reduction ranges from
5 cents to Al cents on a ton, the latter
applying solely to the soft product.
Like the Northern Pacific tariff, the
rates on the line from Duluth to the
twin cities remains untouched. The
reduction is mainly confined to the
Willmar and Sioux Falls line, here
the At cent reduction, which is the
highest, being in effect. It is this line
which is thrown the heaviest into COM
petition with the other lines of the
state, and the reduction in rates as
made on it cannot but be widespread
in it's effects. The other lines will be
compelled to meet the reduction.
At Hanley Falls, a competitive
point where the old rate was 1926 for
both hard and soft coal, the new rate
is s2.o5 and $3.50 respectively. At
Granite Falls it is the same. At Mar
shall, where the rate was 1926 for
both hard and soft coal, the rate has
been cut to S2.10 and s1.85, and at
Pipestone, where the rate was $3.50
and S2.4O, the new rate is 1926 and So.
In the case of the Northern Pacific
the reduction on hard coal was very
slight, but with the Great Northern it
is quite heavy at certain points. Out
side of the twin city lines the cut is
general and extends into the Dakotas.

Points In the New Rate Law.

The chairman of the executive Off
GERS committee appointed by all rail-
roads in America west of Chicago to
study the doubtful points in the new
rate law and to secure the advice OF
counsel on these points, has reported
to the Transcontinental Passenger
association. The report. in part, is as
follows: ..
Land and Immigration Agents
Free transportation cannot be given
land and immigration agents unless
they are employees in such sense that
the carriers legally could give them
transportation as pass or gratuity.
Landseekers and Settlers-There is
no authority in law for making lower
rates to landseekers and settlers than
for other travellers. This seems to
knock out the "homeseekers" ex-
cursions which the western lines all
have been running for years.
Issue of Transportation in Payment
for Advertising-The law committee
advised that this cannot be done. It is
generally accepted, however, that
carriers may carry an open account
with publishers, and that publishers
may carry an open account with
carriers for advertising, and that
these accounts can be balanced peri
odically. The balance must be paid
in cash.
The committee holds that railway
companies operating their own Sleep
ing cars must publish and file their
sleeping-car rates. It holds that the
exception of railway mail service en-
ployees, postoffice inspectors, Gus
toms inspectors, immigration inspect
ors, newsboys on trains, baggage
agents and managers of soldiers
homes from the free-pass prohibition
permits them to be hauled on per-
sonal and individual account as we'll
as while on duty. Special reduced
rates may be made for federal and
state troops, and officers and en-
ployes of the United States geologi-
cal survey and reclamation service in
the future as in the past.
Nuns, sisters of charity, mission
aries, evangelists, national or state
officers of religious organizations,
teachers and pupils in Indian schools,
officers of the Salvation Army and
Volunteers of America, etc., it is
held, may be given free transport
tatiOn.
Special rates for army and navy
officers and their families, which al
ways have been made in the past, are
held unlawful.

Grain for Drv Soil.

j. G. Dawes, formerly a leading
farmer in the Gallatin valley, but for
the past two years engaged in dry
farming on the bench lands north OF
Norris, along Norwegian creek, Mon
tana, has during the past two years
been experimenting with a species OF
Russian barley produced extensively
on the steppes of Russia. This grain
differs somewhat from the native
grain. The head resembles that of
wheat, while the kernels also bear a
resemblance to the same grain.
Fifty bushels of well-developed
grain, Mr.. Dawes has found, can be
harvested from one acre on dry bench
lands, without water. The crop ma
lures in about ninety days, thus MAX
ing it possible, by early seeding, to
avoid the hot, whitening sun of late
July and August. This year Mr..
Dawes seeded his ground April Is and
on July Is the reapers were running.
Russian barley can be threshed and
used precisely as other grain, but Mr..
Dawes has experimental with the un-
threshed straw as a forage for live
stock
Cattle, sheep and hogs, he says,
fatten on it readily, and he has
found that one ton of the barley and
STRAW contains as much nutrition as
three tons of the best alfalfa. The
straw is tender and sweet and the
livestock eat it readily.
