THE Il. fg. CCMa7a5SEcSng.

One of the enactments Of the last
republican Legislature was that of
creating a state railroad commits
sion. When the bill became law
and the members were appointed
there was a general recos, al ION Of
the fact that the first two years Of
existance Of the board would be
largely devoted to getting the body
in such shape as would assure re-
suits later. But the commission,
owing to the excellent personel Of
its members, has done a great deal
more than get ready for business.
It has done business. To-day ow-
ng to it's work, conditions as re-
CARDS railroad transportation with
in the state are better than in any
state in the union, where simular
bodies have been III existance for
many more years.
The commission has brought
about in this state the use Of inter
changeable mileage books, the first
ever used on the Great Norther or
Union Pacific, west Of the Missour.
1t has caused the inauguration Of
as liberal demurrage rules as are
enjoyed by shippers in any state in
the union on lumber, coal, coke,
lime and other commodities. Ii
has brought about All approximate
reduction in coal rates from mines
on the Great Northern to state
points Of forty per cent.
1t has brought about a reduction
Of lumber rates Of % to 80 per cent.
1t has brought reduction Of
fruit and vegetable rates Of from 20
to % per cent.
It has forced the railroads to cut
the rates on grain and ores, and
generally has given the producer
and the consumer chance to do
business on more favorable terms.
There are scores of instances
where had it not been for the work
Of the commission stations which
are open to-day would have been
closed, and scores of cases where
I'M justices have been righted.
The state railroad commission
has more than made good. Two
Of the men who are responsible for
its efficiency and good work are
candidates for reelection, Mr..
Stanton for the four-year term, and
Mr.. Morley for the two-year term.
The third republican nominee is
Dan Boyle, Of Livingston, than
whom no more competent, no more
experienced, 10 more honest man
could have been named.
If Montana wants all effective
working railraod commission it will
elect these three men, who have
had the experience which fits them
for their duties.

A NEBRASKA PRAIRIE FIRE.
Thousands of Acres of Land Burned
 Over in the Sand Hills.

Paxton. Neb., Apr. 3.-A prairie fire has been raging in the sand hills for two days. James Kane is known to have been burned to death, many houses were destroyed, hundreds of head of live stock were lost and thousands of acres of the prairie burned over
 The fire started Tuesday. All day Wednesday a 50-mile wind blew and the blaze swept across the prairie with tremendous speed. Blazing em- bers were carried ten miles in advance of the flames in places. The sky was so black with smoke that ranchmen were unable to locate the fire until the blaze was upon them.
 As rapidly as possible the ranchers plowed safety furrows around their buildings, but in many cases the flames reached them before the plow- ing was completed. This happened in the case of James Kane, a ranchman north of Paxton and Kane, together with his house and all his live stock was burned. Grave fears are held for the safety of other ranchers.

 "On the advice of my physicians am going to Paso Robles springs Tor treatment am told that my rheuma- tic pains, which have become at times almost unbearable, cannot be con quered so long as I remain in sea air and aboard ship, where the neoes- sary treatment cannot be secured.
 Ut will be keen disappointment to me If am unable to be present at the various functions that have been planned, and unable to greet the kind friends on the Pacific coast, who have made such elaborate plans for my com ing, but I must yield to the advice Of physicians, which is now so positive. By doing so at once I may be able to rejoin my fleet and take part in the festivities that have been graciously planned. If 1 gain the anticipated benefit from the inland air and the waters of the springs, shall, as soon as the physicians consent, rejoin the officers and men of the fleet in a frolic ashore, but from now on l shall obey the doctors orders, come what will"
 The Connecticut returns to Mazda lena Bay immediately. Rear Admiral Charles NJ. Thomas, commanding of ficer of the second squadron is tenn porarily in command of the fleet.

Me Donald The Yankton upon arriving in the harbor went along the Santa Fe wharf on which the private car was waiting and Admiral Evans was helped at once into the conveyance.

 The officers who accompanied Ad- miral Evans and who will remain with him during his stay at the hot springs. declare that the commander-in-chief is in much better health now than he was at the time of arrival at Mazda lena Bay.
