larger number of short distance pas
crowd from far out in the state was
smaller than on previous years. Now
IL is claimed that the railroads have
taken to Omaha a larger number Of
people than ever before from nearby
towns, but that the Ak.Sar.Ben bust
ness from towns far away has been
noticeably smaller. Discussing this
railroad man says:
This means that more trains must
be run for short distances to handle
passengers paying smaller amount
of money to the company than ever
before. The passengers from far out
in the state, who could be cared for
largely on the regular trains, and who
merely served to crowd these trains
in the western half OF the state, are
not being handled now. For instance,
IL a man from the northwest paid IS
for a ticket, that was worth more tc
the railroads than sixteen passengers
from a nearby town where the fare
each way is but twenty-five cents,
making fifty cents for the round trip.
This may mean that the state fair
and the Omaha festival will dwindle
in Importance, and that some big
events must be arranged for other
western Nebraska towns to give the
people of the western half Of the state
entertainment without travelling so
far. This may be the wrong way Of
looking at the matter, but l think
change Of one kind is sure to come as
a result Of the rigid two cent rate.
There is another thing that pas.
senger men are noticing. That Is the
increase in number of short trips in
the course Of regular business. Take
a train out of Lincoln. The cars will
be filled, but at the first few stops they
will be emptied of the local traffic. A
little farther along the train begins to
pick up business for the next import
ant town, and business for each center
is picked up and unloaded within a
few miles of the town"

pondonderance Of good horses, in
fact like Monday the presence Of good
heavy horses were commented upon.
A mare topped the second day sale
at Sis. One pair sold for 1925.
There were few new arrivals for
the Tuesday sale but most of the buy
ers at the ring had remained over
from Monday.
The sale on last Monday was called

OATS IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
0oane Robinson Says Market Price
Will be Four Million Greater.

c0ahe nODlHSOn Gays MARKET Price
Will be Four Million Greater.
Pierre, S. D., Oct. 9.-Doane Robin
son, in his estimate OF the oats yield
OF the state this year, gives an in
creased acreage over last year, with
a reduced yield in bushels, but at a
market price nearly $4,OOOO0O greater
than for last year.
His estimate for this year is 1,35l,.
39l acres, with a total yield of 36,942..
sos bushels, which he estimates at tbs
present market price to be worth &c
the farmers SlG,254, 7O3.
While the market value is greater
than for the crop of last year it will
not bring so much money into the
state, as there will not be so great a
surplus to dispose of, a greater per-
centage of the crop being required for
home use.

NO FAvoRs FOR THE oIvINEs.
White Tie Wearers of South Dakota
Will Have to Pay Full Fare.


Will Have to Pay Full Fare.
Bad news for the men of South Da-
kota who wear the long coats and the
white ties!
After January l, 1908, clergymen
who have been travelling upon half
rates on all western railroads will lie
compelled to pay full fare. This fact
was made certain by the action of a
general conference of the clergy bu-
reau of all the western passenger as
sociations.
The transcOntinental passenger as
ISOLATION will continue to issue half
rate permits to clergymen so long as
the rates are not reduced in Colorado,
Montana, Arizona and the states west
of there to the Pacific coast, The per-
mits may also be continued in the
states of Texas and Louisiana, where
their withdrawal depends upon the
state commissions of those states.
This new ruling will have no effect
in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois,
Ohio, Indiana and other 2-cent states,
where clergymen have to pay full fare,
like ordinary individuals. 1t will be
of some effect in South Dakota, how.
ever, where the men of the cloth still
are travelling on one.half fare permits.

The latest from Paris is to the ef-
feet that short sleeves must go!
How can the feminine world know
what to do? The National Dressmak-
ers' convention in Chicago emphatical-
ly declared that only one sleeve out
Of twenty would be long and the short
er the sleeve the more style in the
gown.
Poor woman! She is only too will
ing to follow the dictates of fashion.
but when such contradictory state
ments are made, what will be her
decision?
The short sleeve has been the Joy
of every woman's heart for the last
three years and how hard it would be
to part with it! 1t Is more comfort
able and more attractive The tailored
waists tried hard this year to gain
universal favor, but fair woman clung
to the dainty short puffs. A race be-
tween the short and the long sleeve
seems inevitable, but which one will
win out it Is hard to prophesy.
In the meantime Norfolk women
may take their choice between Chi
cago and Paris.

J. J. HILL DISCUSSES PROSPECTS
Money For Terminal Construction Can
not be Secured.

not be Secured.
In an interview at st. Paul J. ]. Hill
said of the present railroad conditions:
why do | think that railroad build
ing in the United States is a thing of
the past?
Il don't think anything about it. l
know. l certainly am glad that the
here, even if it didn't stay long, for
the after effects will be great. The
question of transportation is leading
one in this country, on account of the
great distances. Investment in such
facilities is next to the value of the
soil on which we live.
twenty-five years ago railroads
thought that, like the sacred cows, Of
India, 10 profane hand would be laid
on them, but profane hands were laid
on them.
This country today is in most i'm
minent danger from want of transpor-
tation. Business has grown SO that
the railroads can't handle it. If, from
the first to the fifteenth of November.
you undertake to ship carload of flour
from Minneapolis to Liverpool, you
can't get a bill of lading to New York
in thirty days, or If you get it, the
goods will not be delivered. 1t Is a
physical impossibility.
THE trouble is, there are not sufi-
cient terminals. Terminals are like
bon dc IN "
save our feet. Trunk lines are mort
gagged to the fifth time, and money
can't be raised.
Some time ago I asked a real es-
tate man what it would cost OF get a
tier of blocks, one of the narrowest,
from the Harlem river to thirty-third
street, New York.
He came back in a week and said
$3.50 100000 wouldn't buy it.
That means that it would cost for
terminals alone s165,OOO a mile for
every mile from Chicago to New
York, before the line was built. The
railroads can't pay rent on such high
priced property.
This matter of transportation is a
most urgent one. People think there
is no limit to what the railroads can
do. There is very present limit to
many railroads in the volume of bust
ness we have to do. 1t takes money
to run railroads. Last year the Great
Northern earned 5.6S per cent.
THE Great Northern is bonded to
Of itc hut
people are not anxious to invest in a
railroad which pays only 9.6S per cent
and have to sit up nights planning how
to defend the property. when they can
get TO per cent from other secur-
ity.
Il repeat that railroad building has
stopped in this country. There is a
want of money in every center. Where
business has grown the fastest, there
is the greatest want, as in Germany
and the United States. Newspapers
tell us the trouble is in our own house
holds.
rs Wall street in trouble when it is
now getting and 7 per cent, and
when last year it got and 3la per
cent? Hardly. The scarcity of money
is world wide. 1t is not time for pc.
litical ghost dancing.
There was bad time last winter
when total of 107 bills were passed
by the state legislatures against the
railroads. Not one of them was based
on information. They did have a hear
ing in Minnesota and invited testi,
mony, but the report was contrary to
the testimony given.
Traffic is growing five times as fast
as the mileage and we are up against

TWO FREIGHT CONSIDERATIONS

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 9.--Two freight
classifications are in use in Nebraska.
The new classification, filed by the
railroads with the interstate commerce
commission is in effect on interstate
shipments, while the old classification,
in effect the first of the year and when
the railway commission went into pow
er governs intrastate shipments.
The Nebraska railway commission
has refused to approve the new CLASH
fication sheet. The railroads put up
the plea that if it were adopted the
commission might Immediately order
the reductions in rates on articles
where the change in classification in
the newer sheet has raised them. The
commission, however did not take this
view of it and refused to adopt the
new schedule.
A railroad man says that the new
sheet makes a greater number of re-
auctions in rates than it makes in
creases, and that the state would have
gained by this reduction.
The Iowa railway commission years
ago adopted a classification for that
state and it is said this is one thing
that the railroads desire TO avoid in
Nebraska.
A move is now being made to secure
a national classification sheet that can
be used on every road in the country.
At the present time there are several
classifications in force, one in the east,
one in the south and at least one in
the west. Texas has its own classic
cation schedules.
