into his waistcoat pocket, drew. out a
package Of cigarette paper, and, BAN

Great Northern railway. in which pc
titioner asks reduction OF the lake

other eastern points to parity with
the transportation charges on wheat.
The Chicago board of trade was made
party to the case thru an interview

years.
Mr.. Hopkins says Chicago Is being
deprived OF it's natural advantages as n
grain center thru tho discrimination
practiced by the carriers In combina-
ton with the parallel lake steamship
lines which they completely control. 1t
is stated that the department OF justice
may find evidence to Justify prosecu-

testimony which has been submitted 10
the commission In the hearings.
The milers intended originally to
base their case against the roads on
shares of violation of the sherman law.
Altho this was afterward changed TO

placed before the commission make a

at issue is the boat lines proportion

Judge Charles A. Pollock. of Fargo,
N. D., district judge Of the Third ju-
dicial district Of that state, was in
the city this morning, returning from
Mt. Vernon. He is trustee of Cor
nell College. Judge Pollock was very
much interested in the contest here
over the saloon question and drew a
parallel between the situation in Mar
shalltown and Fargo, where the expert
ence with closing the soloons stands as
an object lesson.
Judge Pollock is one of the most
distinguished men of that state. For
about twelve years he has presided over
the chief judicial district of the state,
in which is located the largest city.
Prior to that he was the chief law Of
ficer, states attorney, and he carried
that responsibility in the trying transit
ton days when the licenses were ahol-
ished. and the state entered on the ex-
pertinent of prohibition.
Compares Fargo and Marshalltown.
Your city," said Judge Pollock, sis
about the same size as ours. Your
proposition Is to some degree an easier
one than was ours from the fact that
we nau FL saloons as against your 19,
and that we had these saloons when we
had only 5000 Inhabitants. We had
rs saloons in our county, one at nearly
every cross road. We had 100 in the
Third judicial district Today we
haven't one and If any blind pigs are
operating / have not been able to get
my paws upon them. We have found
1t not only possible but practicable and
profitable. Law is enforced 1T can
be and is enforced in Fargo, and it can
be enforced in Marshalltown quite as
effectively"

TRAIN AUDITORS.
No More Tickets to BE Collected by
Conductors.

1t Is announced that the Short
Line viii soon place ticket collectors
on all OF its passenger trains, whose
duties it will be TO collect tickets
and fares instead of having the con-
ductor perform such duty. This sys-
TEN was tried many years ago by
the Santa Re and after using it for
about a year it was discarded and
the old style of having the con-
ductor collect fares replaced. The
Short Line may make it work bet
ter than did the Santa Fe but the
experiment will be watched by the
public with great deal OF interest.
The change was to have taken place
the first Of this month but arrange
