HEARING ON RATES
Mankato Jobbers Interested in Sc.
curing Charge In Schedules.
From Mondays DaiIy.

The railway and warehouse commission
on Saturday had before it the complaint
| of number of jobbers whose grievance
Is that the new merchandise rates puts
| them at Il disadvantage. The twin cit
les and Duluth, they say, are benefited.
CrOokston. Mankato, st. Cloud and
Sank Center jobbers were represented
at the hearing, and they put up strong
talk i'll an effort to show the commission
how they were Disseminated against in
their local territory.
They contended that the three cities
could ship in and sell commodities, such
as vinegar, syrup and sugar cheaper
than they. 1t was destroying their trade
| they declared. The main charge was
that the new rate, which is on mileage
basis, enabled the twin city jobbers to
make up ca ohl lots of merchandise
and send it TO st. Cloud and adjacent
territory chcapc: than they could cover
the same territory, which is local, with
broken shipments.
}. w. Cooper, representing the st. Paul
iobbers. refused to see it in this light
and offered testimony to slow thai airy
disadvantage which existed fell Upon all
The jobbcrs. The twins, he said, were
ut disadvantage on cereals, as far as
the new rate was concerned. If cor
rection were made OH this one thing he
was more than willing that the Others
should have their grievances corrected
The hearing was concluded at noon,
and the commission took the matter UNI
der advsement. Under the rule laid
down when the newNrate was put into
effect, the commission can order a change
when any town or jobbing center is put
at disadvantage.

GOOD ROAD OBSERVATIONS
S. Il. Drum Tells Of His Experie nces
In Road Work.
Er;1 Do;1
From Fridays Dai


s.. III. Drum writes an interesting ar
ticle for The Waseca Radical on how to
improve the highways. He says:
Some of the difficulties, have to con-
tend with in keeping road in repair,
are preventing road from getting too
fiat and also to prevent mevenness of
surface that makes it unpleasant riding
over faster than a walk. The former
is problem in some places. The old
way, and it works al right sometimes,
was to pillow the sides towards the cen
ter and then with grader round it and
smooth it. this will do on an old dirt
road that has become so flat and rutty
as to become almost impossible, but
some times you have heavy sods on the
sides, then if you put them in the mid,
die of the road without narrowing and
smoothing. thoroughly. You have a condi-
ton not conducive to good temper III
the travelling public.
Suppose | have narrow grade, three
or four feet high, through a slough
which was gravcleI some years ago, and
has from travel. settling etc, become
very fiat, yes, even hollow crowned, so
that the sides are several inches higher
than the CENTER what will you do with
it to make it all right? Put OH Il grad
er? 1t won't work. The grade is too
narrow, the sides are too steep, and the
grader will run along in\ the middle,
making the side ridges higher each time
it goes over the road thus doing damage
rather than good. How will we get rid
of those ridges If we plow into the
center we have put u lot of sod on Il graz
vel road. Let us plow the other way
and put it in the ditch, this, will widen
the grade and at the same time leave
the road in shape to round up with road
drag of some kind. | have helped the
situation temporarily by cutting through
the ridges with a spade and letting the
water off in such places where it has
settled, it must be let off or the road
will become soft and holes will form,
completely spelling the road.
All roads have tendency to become

all times. Here comes the rub, farmers
dislike to leave their work during the
busy season, even for half day. Road
overseers are not paid for over work,
and town officers are slow in granting
pay for such, fearing petty graft, sup
pose 1t seems to me, that some one
should be appointed to keep the roads in
repiar devoting his time with team to
filling ruts, smoothing and other ways
caring for the roads, under supervision
of the town board and paid for every
day he works and no more: such a man
might maintain the roads in several dis
