Fishermen Start Fire.

Fairfax, S. d., May 22,-Special to
The News: Noting the advent of
warm, sunshlny days and balmy winds
that longing desire to devote a few
hours to the "sportive brook" as in
early youth, n handsome trio of Fair
fax sports" awoke at 4:30 bright and
early Tuesday morning and, by the
aid of the new steam automobile, be.
took themselves to the placid waters
of the Ponca, some thirty-five miles
to the westward with a plentiful sup.
ply of angle worms and other fish
lure" together with all the present
known devised means for the capture
of the "finny" tribe.
Arriving at a place bearing all the
"earmarks" of good "fishin' ground.
dismount was ordered and all hands
turned to getting breakfast. Break
fast over and camp put in order
everybody made ready and off to the
creek for a great big catch. Abont
this time the wind arose and, toying
with the embers of the early morning
campfire, soon had sparks out in the
grass and the "makin's" of a pretty
big prairie fire were at hand and doing
business.
The erstwhile fishermen observed
the smoke and made run for it, '
and the rest of the forenoon was put
in fighting fire. They succeeded in
stopping the fire, but here is the in
ventory of the days work: Three

COMPLAIN of Flour Rates.

Norfolk, Neigh, Albion, Humphrey,
Pierce Oakdale and fifteen other Ne
braska towns are very much interest
ed in hearings before the state railway
commission, the comparative rates on
| -four and wheat from these points be-
| ing attacked in a complaint filed be-
| fore the commission by the Updike
Milling company of Omaha. The
roads affected are the Northwestern,
the Union Pacific and the Burlington.
The Omaha miller complains that
the rate on -four from the towns men
toned is less than the rate on wheat,
the raw product. The updike people
kick because the Nebraska towns can
ship flour to the Omaha market for
less than the Updike people can get
their raw material from the same
towns. The Updikes want the rate on
-four and wheat to be the same.
Among the examples cited it is
claimed that the Norfolk rate on
wheat to Omaha is 11.05, as against
9.9S on flour, the Albion rate on corn
1868 as against S.5 on flour, the Hum
phrey rate on wheat 11.05 as against
9.9S on -four.
The flour rate to Omaha was made
when there were no mills there, and
the chief competition was with Min
neapolis. Now Omaha is fighting fol
Omaha mills.
C. S. Bridge, of the Sugar City Ce
real mills, has not attended the hear
ings before the state commission but
is keeping in touch with the situation
He believes that flour shipments
should have a lower rate than wheat
because there Is less danger to the
company of loss, flour suffering less
than wheat in case of fire and flood.
The action of the commission would
be to raise the special rates on flour
to the regular wheat rate if Updike
succeeds. The issue Is between the
towns concerned and Omaha, as the
milling industry is an important one
to the whole community.

The Norfolk Nj. E. church on Sun

$7S.40 to the Plainview church, to

$1,000 toward rebuilding, and he has
received outside offerings from the
Methodists of Stanton of $23 and from
