Great seall

From and after the 10th inst, a
new departure will be made IN
the Northwestern freight rate. For
instance, on shipments to and from
this place the charges will be based
on a weight of one hundred pounds
regardless of classification. No
matter how much less your shipment
weighs you pay for a hundred pounds
as this makes easy figuring for the
billing and collecting agents-and J.
so makes easy extra pay for the
railway company. Once upon a time
we heard that the board of rail
way commissioners We're going to
pare down the freight rates west of
the river, but the matter has been
postponed and postponed till, in all
probability, the board has forgotten
the matter. Some day we intend to

AS one travels over our state and

pushing people, he is deeply i'm
pressed by what he sees in the way
IF material growth and development;
and while he is often delighted with
the neat farm house and its pleasant
surroundings, he IS too often de-
pressed by the total neglect to plant
and cultivate thees, which leaves the
home exposed to the burning sun OF
midsummer and the cutting blasts
of midwinter, and gives to the tam a
naked, cherries appearance mat is
nnattractive to the visitor and
stranger and to the children grow,
ing up there. There is no good ex,
cuse for this neglect. Since the ad.
vent of the artesian we'll, water is
plentiful. and wherever water i
plentiful, trees can be grown with,
cut difficulty. We must have NOR

FREIGHT RATES.

That vital influence in the develop
ment OF a community, freight rates.
was recently discussed by the rail-
road commissioners at Fort Pierre.
and as the outcome Of their deliber-
atoms, lower rates for the trans
missouri country are soon to replace
the trade-killing tariffs at present ex-
tant. This is good new and means
much for the westernend of South
Dakota which heretofore has been
the victim Of discrimination that has
worked hardship on Rapid City and
prevented her from taking the po-
sition as a commercial center which
she Is entitled to. With the estab-
lishment of a fair and impartial
freight tariff, it will not be difficult
for this city to quickly demonstrate
Its advantages as a natural distribut
ing point.
A fair sample Of the name in
which the railroads have been doing
business in this vicinity is found in
the instance OF freight rates on lum-
Der. Under the present schedules,
FIR lumber is hauled all the way to
Chicago from the Pacific coast at
practically the same rate assessed on
shipments to Rapid City.
Another case shows plainly how
local lumber men are shut off from
competing for nearby business that
to all intents should naturally fall to
them. One of the railroads is today
making a rate to Minneapolis lum-
Der dealers for shipments to Cham.
berlain, s. D., at twenty-five cents
per hundred, while the rate to Ga.
coma, s.. D., on the west bank of the
Missouri, from this city is twenty.
three cents. A glance at a map vii
suffice to show the obvious injustice
Of such an arrangement.
1t is against these and similar rate
determinations, that a protest has
been made with apparent success.
The question Of an equitable tariff
on shipments from California points
which just now allows points con.
siderahly east of Rapid City the
same rate that is in effect to this
city has claimed the attention of the
Business Mems club and 1t is hoped
that proper tariff may be estab.
lished III that quarter also.
