FREIGHT RATES LOWERED
Substantial Reduction on Freight
ou Goods in Cae Load Lots is
About to Take Effect...M Means
Lower Prices on Groceries,
Etc.

At last Minot is recognized by
the 500 and the Great Northern
and placed on a par with Mime.
apolis st. Paul and other COM
centers. The freight
rates will soon be reduced on GER
tain goods shipped into this city
in carload lots and the wholesale
houses are glad. They will be
able to quote groceries, etc., to
the merchants of the northwest
at lower prices, as soon as the
tariff sheets are in readiness, and
in turn the merchants will be
able to quote lower prices to their
customers on the goods. Thus
we will all be benefited.
The reduction will be quite
large, fully fifteen per cent on
most things which isn't bad.
Manager Tom Griffen Of the
Minot Grocery Co., has been
working on this proposition for
two years or more and only last
summer Gen. Supt. Pennington
of the 500 promised Mr.. Griffen
that he would see that something
was done for Minot in the way of
lower freight rates.
While the 500 is perhaps di-
rectly responsible for the low
rates we are about to receive, the
Great Northern has fallen into
line and will quote rates the same
as the 500,
This will give the wholesale
houses Of Minet an opportunity
to compete in a fair way with
those of other cities.

their wheat, and undoubtedly
will give the elevators a golden

him. This state of affairs exists

Car Situation a Serious One.

Over in w. Va, where great lumber
mills are at work, the failure of the e.
& o. and G. & 1. railways to furnish
cars for the removal of lumber has
caused great annoyance. loss and
possibly sometimes disaster-as some
firms have failed. Many have not
been able to send to market sufficient
lumber TO pay off their men. The
Pocahontas Times, resident In the
midst Of that section, says:
The car situation in this territory
is serious one and hampers the mills
in particular IN getting their lumber
to market. Mills near Durbin find
themselves In serious predicament
because of their inability to get trans
portation facilities. Lack of funds to
increase the supply does not promise
much relief. This chronic car short
age, season after season, has done
more to discourage operators In this
territory than any one thing. Designed
primarily to handle the output of the
mills along the line, the G.. & l is not
serving as 1t should, the purpose for
which it was built, simply because Of
scarcity Of cars,
To US this failure Is next to criminal
and certainly displays the worst pos
sible business methods.
