SOME LOWER FRiEGKr RATES
State Railroad c-ognnaasssen Nave
Made = NV Schedule OF Freight
for South Dakota.
for south Dakota.

The railroad commissioners have
been In Session III Sioux Falls for the
past week and have prepared a new
schedule of freight rates for the
eastern half OF South Dakota. The
commission made the following state
ment as TO just what has been ac-
lcomplished;
The commission has made an or
der reducing freight rates to all
points east OF the Missouri river ON
class freight 10 per cent.
1t has adopted the Minnesota
commodity rate in all instances
where that rate is not higher than
the South Dakota rate on the follow
ing commodities: Grain seed, flour,
horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs,
Except that in Minnesota fat cattle,
lstockers and feeders, carry the same
rate, while in this state stockers and
feeders carry only rs per cent the
fat stock rate. Practically no fat
stock is shipped from one point to
another within the state, making our
rate on live cattle (stockers and feed
lers) 25 per cen less than the Mime
sofa rate.
The rate, however, on cattle re-
mains substantially as it has been.
The live stock rate is what the COM
mission has been considering all the
week. 1t finally agreed to adopt the
Minnesota rate for the present. The
railroad commission in Minnesota has
recently reduced the rate on live
stock Is per e The roads are
~contesting the matter in the courts.
If the commission in hal state wins
out, this commission will take fur
Their action as to rates on live stock
as we'll as some other commodities.
The commission has taken no &C
ton on stone, stucco, cement, and
other commodities not above men
toned. These matters and the fixing
of rates west of the Missouri river
will be further considered in tie near
future.
"All rates must be based upon the
valuation and earnings of the roads.
The only information the commission
has on these matters is that furnished
by the companies. The commission
is not satisfied with the companies
reports. In'some instances there is a
wide discrepancy between the sworn
reports furnished the commission and
published in its official reports and
the sworn statements made to the
commission during the present rate
hearing.
THE roads do not use a uniform
system ap%portioning the business OF
the state. The reports are somewhat
surprising as to the earnings of some
of the roads. The gross earnings pei
mile of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad is s~3,2OS.3S; Great
Northern, $330.57; South Dakota
Central, ~$1,951.04; Chicago, Rock Is.
land & Pacific, $1,1S3.3S.
ut is the purpose of the commits.
sion to investigate the question OF
the value as we'll as the receipts and
disbursements of all roads within the
state, and keep rates as low as the
laW will allow"

Cutting the Cake Right

Some thoughtful person has, at
asst. solved the cake cutting problem,
which has always been a trial to the
thrifty housekeeper. The question
being how to cut a cake so that the
remaining portion will keep moist
and fresh until used. The new way
is exceedingly clever and at the same
time simple. Take a round cake, for
instance, cutting across one end
leaves an exposed surface to dry be-
fore it is cut again; cutting a pie in
triangular shaped pieces leaves two
exposed surfaces 10 dry. According
to the new way, cut a slab out of the
center large enough to make the
needed number of pieces, put the re-
naming halves close together, SO
that the cut surfaces join; next time
cut through center only in opposite
direction pressing the remaining
qualities close together. AT last
there will be only four small corners
left, but they will still fit together,
forming a small circle and leaving
only the outside covered with the
icing exposed to the air. In this
way the cake can be kept moist till
the last crumb is used. Another help
in keeping it moist is to put an apple
or a tiny wet sponge into the cake
box.

In the Surface Car

A fat 1rishwoman, bearing a num-
Der of bundles, entered a crowded
street a II. The only semblance of a
seat she could find was a small space
at the right of a smartly dressed
youth. Into this space, sufficient
only for an individual of ordinary
size, the feshy Irishwoman squeezed
herself, much to the annoyance of
the youth.
After a moment or so the Irish
woman produced a cheese sandwich,
which she proceeded to devour with
every evidence of relish.
At this the youth gave her a look
of ineffable disgust and drew the
skirts of his frock-coat closer to him.
