rHE RAILROADS INNING NOW.

The western railroad traffic men
assembled in conference at Chicago
have agreed that the situation as II
is seen BIZ them, demands general
increase in freight rates in their ter.
ritory. 1t may be assumed that the
public. which pays the freight, will
take an entirely different view of the
matter. How tie Interstate com
merce commission which will doubt
less be called upon if raise is made
will look at # remains to be seen.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
il the public comedies the truth OF
. what railroads will claim in respect
to their capitalization, it is possible
that some increase Of freight rates
would be justified. That, however
has not yet been shown. That ex-
penses have increased and are in
creasing Is, OF course, true, but thus
far. in spite Of greater cost of opera
ton the railroad statements have set
forth regular increases in net reve-
nue.. The increased volume of bust
ness has more than Offset the in
crease of expenses. Roads that have
always paid dividends have paid lar
ger dividends, OF increased their sur
plus. Roads that never paid divi-
dends before have recently begun to
nav. Doubtless there have been in
creases of expenses whose results did
not fully appear in the last annual
or semi annual statements, but no
figures have yet been made public
which Justify increase even from the
standpoint of the companies.
While each individual road has to
be considered by itself, there are but
very few railroads in the country in
respect to whose equalization the
public will concede the truth of the
claims of the corporations. They will
insist that the stock which has been
getting small or no dividends, for
the most part never ought to get
any, because it does not represent Ell
Their actual investment or profit to
compensate for actual risk. Water
ed stock may be made good stock by
investment of earnings in betterment
without the issue Of new securities
to represent it, or by deficits in OPP
Grafton and fixed charges in previous
years. There is no other way in
which stock representing no original
investment can be made entitled to
dividends. and If there are any i'm
portant quantities of stock that have
been made good in that way the pub
lie is entitled to the particulars and
proof Considering the history of
railroad manipulation in this coun-
try the burden of proof that railroad
stocks are entitled to dividends rests
wholly upon the corporations. All
through the west at any rate the pre-
sumption is always against them. 1t
is certain that any attempt to raise
rates will be strongly resisted and
the companies compelled by affirma-
tive evidence to show that they are
essential TO provide reasonable re-
turn on actual investment or actual
risk. Increases will not be accepted
without a contest.

To Make Trees Grow

There are few simple rules to fol
low in growing trees that will secure
success to any one.
On the farm can be grown IN any
low place-especially along the edge
of cultivated field. They can be
grown almost any where by mulch
ing with straw manure. Old culti-
waited ground is best.
In town trees can be readily grown
any where by watering occasionally
for year or two to get them start
ed.
The weeds and grass should be
kept down about for a while then.
The trees should be kept trimed up
and not allowed to branch down low
which stops their growth upward
TO make success of transplant
ing it is absolutely necessary to fol-
low these rules for short timeto get
the trees properly started. After
that thev will probably take care of
themselves.

A Model School

Our readers have undoubtedly no.
ticed the advertisement of the To-
land School of Sioux Falls and men,
ton Of same IN a previous issue. We
are just in receipt of its catalogue
which is not only work Of art, but
contains the most positive proof of
superiority ever offered by school
The former catalogue of the Toland
School contains the portraits of 1000
Toland graduates whom Mr. Toland
had sent to positions. Since that
time the demand for Toland gradu-
ates has increased so rapidly that to
publish the portraits of all would re-
quire a book too heavy for mailing.
He has therefore in his new catalo-
que published only the portraits of
his graduates earning from nine
hundred to nine thousand dollars per
year. Among the more prominent
of his graduates, we notice the Pres
ident of the Security Bank of La
Crosse, the Assistant Gen Pass. and
Ticket Agent, Southern Railway,
and the Supt. Ordinary Dept. Metro
politan Life Ins. Co.
Any school can prepare it's grad
yates for ordinary positions, but it
requires very different training to
prepare them for the positions oc-
cupied by Toland graduates.
The young man or woman desiring
a business education will certainly
regret it if they fail to investigate
the Toland Business School at Sioux
Falls.

The Northwestern Leads

The c. & NV. won the race from
the Missouri to the Black Hills, and
pushed the first train from Pierre
into Rapid City last Thursday. This
brings to mind a conversation with
a bright young official of the North
western, which occurred at time the
Milwaukee started to cross from
Chamberlain. The Northwestern
had then made no move to cross the
river, bnt the young man made this
perdiction:
The Northwestern will reach the
Black Hills from Pierre before the
Milwaukee does from Chamberlain. "
So far he was right. But he made
further prediction that will take
time to vertify. He said:
1t is also my opinion that the
Northwestern will reach the Pacific
coast before the Milwaukee does"

Pierre citizens on full half block of
