PRESENT RATES TOO Low
Railroads Claim TO Be Losing
Money in South Dakota.

Chicago, Sept. 21.--The railroad
commission Of South Dakota held a
conference here with III. r. McCul
Tough, vice president in charge of
traffic OF the Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad, and ]. H. Hiland. vice
president in charge of traffic Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, re-
garding reductions in freight and pas
senger rates in South Dakota.
The commission held special ses-
sion at Sioux Falls earlier In the week
to hear the views of the railroads on
the question of rate reduction. Minor
traffic officials of nearly all the roads
in South Dakota attended the session
and presented statistics to substan-
tiate their claim that the present
rates on intrastate traffic are unrea-
sonably low.
Not satisfied with the representa-
tions Of the subordinate officials of
the railroads the commissioners de-
cided to come to Chicago and confer
with the executive officers of the
Northwestern and St Paul railroads,
which have large majority of the
railway mileage In South Dakota.
Lose Money at Present Rates.
Vice President Mccullough of the
Northwestern and Vice President
Hiland both told the commissioners
that the present rates In South Da-
kota on intrastate traffic, both freight
and passenger, do not yield enough
revenue to defray the cost of the serv-
ice rendered The service is main
tanned by the railroads on the present
basis, their executive officers say, in
the belief that it will most quickly
develop the resources OF the state and
therefore is to the best interest of the
railways.
The commissioners said the people
OF South Dakota We're asking for a
maximum passenger rate of 2 cents
per mile because many other states
now have that rate. The railway Off
cials pointed out the difference In
population per mile OF road in South
Dakota and the states where the rail
roads have voluntarily lowered pas
senger rates and in other states where
they have been forced to do so h.
legislation. In the latter states tn,
railroads propose to contest in the
courts the constituticnality of the 2.
cent fare laws.

A Few School Thoughts.

As 1t is not great while till oui annual school meeting, every cleo tor should begin to think of amend ment number eight and its proba' ble benefit to rural schools.
 Is our school term long enough Is our school house furnished as il should be? Is our teaching force thorough and efficient?
 These are general questions which should receive the careful consideration of every elector. More special ones might apply tc the particular needs of individual districts. Hall the above can be answered in the affirmative, do not be extravagant, but if anything is needed, numb-r eight is at our service. The object of this article is merely to suggest. There IS room for thought.

To the Noble Grand, Officers and Mem- bers of Conway Rebekah Lodge No. I43, l. O. o. F.
 Your committee to whom was referred the matter of drafting suitable resolu- tions expressive of our grief on the loss of our worthy and we'll beloved sister, M. V. Griffin, the wife and companion of our brother, Ben l.. Griffin, whose end came so suddenly. so unexpected, and without warning as to completely shock this entire membership, and the community at large.
 Your committee, feeling its inability to command language that would do justice, or be fitting to the occasion, ln their feeble attempt would submit the following:
 Whereas; on the 24th day of March, 1907, one of the sweetest and purest lives of one of our membership came suddenl to an end, without warning and unsuspected by her home and friends the life of Sister M. V. Griffin sweetly and peacefully ebbed away. Sister Griffin was born and reared near Banner, Miss, was born March s, 1868, and entered into life eternal March 24, 1907. Between these dates of birth and death lies the record of a beautiful and worthy life, brief as measured by the span of years, but rounded and com- plete in the sphere of duty and accom- plishment. From a child she was in tensely devoted to every object of her love, which made her peculiarly ten der daughter and sister ill the home and, added to her charm as wife and mother in her own home. She had planned trip and had all the prelim- mary arrangements complete, to start next day to pay her old father and mother in Mississippi a surprise visit; but the Saviour had prepared place for her, and God said come.
 Therefore, be it resolved, by Conway Lodge No. I43, I. O. O. F., that in the death of Sister M. V. Griffin, this lodge has lost one of its brightest and gentlest members, one chair has been made va- cant th at can never be filled, one voice has been hushed that is always want to be heard;
 Resolved, That we extend to her aged father and mother; her brothers and sisters, her husband and six little ones left behind, the kind assurance that from her Consecrated life while here, that now with her "it is well';
 Resolved, That page in our record book be set apart "In Memorlam' to Sister Griffin, and that our charter and working tools be draped i'll mourning for 30 days, and that the papers here be requested to publish this.
 Respectfully submitted,
