Spokane Files Complaint.

AiiS CITY OF SPOKANE Washington,

OF the Northern Pacific. Great Northern.
Union Pacific, Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company, and the Spokane
Falls and Northern Railway Company.
II alleges that the merchants. dealers.
and shippers Of Spokane are CHARGED
rates OF freight large,y in excess OF
thOse charged any CITY similarly situ-
ated upon the respective lines Of rail-
way lhat the charges from Eastern
points are greatly dlsprOpOrtionate and
manfestly unfair az compared with
Butte Helena. and Great Falls Mont
By reason OF such unjust charges
lFelShts are shipped from Eastern
points through Spokane 10 Seattle
Iacoma. and Portland. and then shipped
back 10 Butte, Helena, and Great Falls
ana otner cities AT a lower rate than
the one charged 30 Spokane Il is
further alleged that New York takes
The same rate as Chicago 10 Pacific
coast points, but that this rule does
lot always apply, Spokane merchants
Delng compelled To pay IS cents per 100
POUNDS more on dry goods and many
other things coming from New York
than those coming from Chicago.

To Meet water Competition.

The commission held that in order to
meet competition Of water carriers the
roads must be permitted to charge more
20 Spokane and similar situated points
than 70 through points. II ordered Ger
tain reductions in the tariff rates to
Spokane. but these were made subject
10 the provision that the rates at coast
terminals might be lowered to meet the
water competition; and IN effect the de-
cision has established the general rule
OF charging more on freight from the
East to mountain and interior points
than on like freight to Pacific coast
points Denver for Instance, and salt
Lake. as well as Spokane, are com
PEELED 10 pay more for freight from New
York than San Francisco pays: yet the
distance 10 Denver IS more than I.OOO
miles less.
The Spokane people propose now to
have this whole issue tried out anew
under the new law. Their case Will
stand for the entire country. It is
probably the most important action. as
affecting commercial adjustments and
railroad revenues. that will soon be-
commenced under the new law.

Several cars of potatoes have been
shipped from this market of late.
The yield this year seems to be very
satisfactory, and the quality first-class.
In regard to quality there is never
any question so far as South Dakota
potatoes are concerned this section
can produce quality not excelled in
the United States. We believe, how
ever, that it would pay farmers to
look as closely to seed potatoes as to
seed grain, and especially to c%onfine
themselves to some particular variety.
We understand that a car of mixed
potatoes does not sell as well on the
market as a car of one variety, al
though the quality may be the best.
The capacity of our soil to produce
potatoes makes it a very profitable
branch of farming. 1t is true that
the crop requires considerable labor,
especially in harvesting, but we be
lieve that the potato right now is the
best mortgage litter on the list. A
ten acre patch devoted to that crop
for five yeats, with ordinary yield and
ordinary prices, would lift the V
age mortgage on the average quarter
section. 1t will pay to try it.
