New r. r. Rate Regulations
After May the number OF people who
cross the bridge to Moorhead will he
greater. The Moorhead ticket offices
will undoubtedly do rushing busi-
ness. For the new Minnesota rate
law which goes into effect May l will
only effect The price Of tickets pur-
chased at points within N innesOta.
According to Instructions received at
che local office OF the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific the agents here
are under no circumstances to base
their rate on the sale of passenger
tickets between Fargo and the twin
cities on the rate which will be
charged ..beween Moorhead and the
twin cities after May l. -....
Under the new regime the price Of
a ticket from Moorhead to Minneap-
oils will be 81. 60 and Sc. .9S from Far
60 to Minneapolis, so that by..crossing
the state boundary, passengers will
save. 3e. The same thing will ap-
ply to tickets purchased at any point
outside of Minnesota..fo points with
in that state as applies to Fargo. It
will be possible for interested pass
engers to take advantage OF the re-
decd fare by paying cash fare to the
interstate boundary and then pur-
chasing ticket, but if very much of
this is done it will force the railroads
to make long stops at Moorhead and
other like points while all the pass
engers get out and buy tickets. Con-
ductors on trains running through
Minnesota may not collect the TO-
cent penalty for the payment of cash
fares after May l and the 1900 and
5000 mileage books will not be good
for use in Minnesota as the new law
forbids the railroads charging more
than ? cents a mile, but the 5000
mileage books will still be good, as
the rate on them is 2 cents mile.-

For Cheaper Coal II dispatch
from Ashland, Wis, says that an
effort is being made to get:cheaper
coal for the farmers of this state and
the northwest by means of cooper
ative com pany which will buy and
sell outside the eastern coal trust.
The company has been organized By
Minnesota and North Dakota people
and it is expected that from IS cents
to 81 a ton can be saved on coal. At
present all the coal docks on the lake
at Duluth, Superior and Ashland are
in control of the N. W. Coal trust.
a dock-site has been purchased at
Ashland, Wisconsin on Lake Super
ior aud the work is now starting on
the construction of a dock for the
handling OF coal. Coal is to be pur-
chased by the company from inde-
pendent mines in the East and will
be shipped direct to Ashland by
water, and unloaded during the sum-
mer time on the dock and thence
shipped to the various stockholders,
as it is to be run on cooperative
principle and the cooperative insti-
tutions who are thus members of the
company can know that the coal
brought to their dock at Ashland, !.
Wisconsin, during the summer, will
be shipped them whenever needed
without fear any Of coal famine. or
without any dictation from the coal
trust.

y {Arbor Day Phamplet-Arbor day
is Friday May ) and the superintend-
ent of the county schools is endeavor-
ing to have the districts plant some
trees and flowers around the school
houses. The state superintendent has
issued a neat phamplet for the occa-
sion and for distribution to the
schools and there are excellent sug-
gestions. says Superintendent Wan
ner on the subject of trees, and care
of school grounds. The previous
efforts made to beautify the school
grounds should not be wasted effort,
and continued care OF trees already
started ought to be taken. The only
sure way to get little foliage and
shade in the school yard is to fence
the grounds. cultivate the soil and
make determined effort to grow
trees which can be made to grow. AS
to the flower beds the county super
intendent says: Arbor day will be
too early for flower seeds. except the
very hardest: but 7ou can prepare
the beds by removing the sod and
carrying in soil from the nearby
fields, or the sod can be pulverizcd.
Plant trailing nasturtiums and morn
ing glories for training over the win.
dows. Mignonette, sweet peas, phlox,
etc., are excellent for the beds.
It is said that there are only about
halfa dozen school houses in the
county where anv trees are to be
found around the school house. A bill
was introduced in the last legislature
making it compulsory for the schoo
districts to plant AID care for trees
but the measure was lost.
