NO FIGHT OVER
THE new RATES
GREAT NORTHERN ACCEPTS TWO.
CENT FARE AND COMMODITY
RATE BILLS.
OTHER ROADS WILL FOLLOW

st. Paul, April 21.-The Great North
ern railroad has decided to accept the
2-cent passenger fare and the commod-
ity rate schedule passed by the legis-
1ature. Inasmuch as the acceptance Of
the new rates by the Great Northern
will mean that the other roads will be
compelled to take similar action, It Is
a safe assertion that both schedules
will be accepted by the roads and the
pending suits over the freight rate
schedule will be dropped. Both laws
go into effect May 1.
No Further Litigation.
The announcement of the action o,
the Great Northern was made in the
house Of representatives yesterday aft
ernon. Attorney General E. T. Young
sent a communication to the house
stating that he had unofficial informa.
ton that there will be no further liti-
cation over rate schedules, and that
therefore he will not need the $50 900
appropriated by the legislature to pro-
vide money for fighting the suits.
Saving Of $5,ooo,ooo Year.
The definite announcement of thu
action of the Great Northern, which
will result in settlement Of the entire
rate question in the state, was made
by Representative L. G. Spooner Of
Morris, chairman of the railroad com.
mittee. Mr.. Spooner stated that he
was authorized by President Louis w.
Hill of the Great Northern to an
nounce that the Great Northern will
put into effect both the 2-cent passen.
ger fare in this state and the commod.
ity rate schedule enacted by the legis
lature.
Mr.. Spooner estimates that the new
schedules will result in saving the peo'
pie of Minnesota $5,O00,000 a year in
transportation, passenger and freight

HIGH PRICES IN POULTRY.

Pure Bred Fowls a Necessity and Fam
ciers PerPetuate Them.
A sale of Buff Orpington hen at
York, Pa, for s40O was a news item of
the last week, and as the fowl weigh
ed only four pounds, to the general
public it looked a high price for poul-
try. To a community that grumbles
about paying % cents a pound for the
Christmas turkey it seems a ridiculous
sum for one small hen. To breeders OF
thoroughbred poultry as a fancy or
business the price is only an indication
of the trade value of the Orpington at
this time, for the buyer needed just
what this hen possesses in color, plum
age and shape to strengthen his own
flock so that he can get more money
for his show birds. With many out
siders, too, the Orpington Is an un-
known breed of poultry, and they have
been puzzled to know if the $400 was
paid for the hen as a rare freak or
featherdom.
The breed is a new one and only be-
came recognized as a distinct fowl in
1886, when the Black Orpington was
admitted to the chicken stud book
term that describes exactly the func-
ton of the British and American
standard of perfection" The stand
ard tells to a feather just what thor
oughbred fowl is in the recognized
breeds and classification is not given
to a new type until it has been fully
demonstrated that 1t is one that re-
produces itself as a distinct family.
The late William Cook. an English
fancier, created the Orpington. For
many years he raised 10000 fowls
year for the British market and sold
eggs on the same scale. During the
Boer war Cook had a contract to sup
ply the British troops with poultry and
eggs and he established two great farms
for the purpose in South Africa. Cook
attended the New York poultry show
