New York, Dec. "A big army ball
loon, which was sent up at the United
States army proving grounds today
near Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook,
withstood for several hours a shower
of bursting shrapnel fired at it at in
tervals from the fore. Officers at Fort
Hancock declined to discuss the test,
but spectators with glasses were able
to see that the gas bag was not dam
aged. This was confirmed wnen the
balloon was lowered to the proving
grounds at dusk.
Several days ago balloon was hit

tests are being conducted as secretly
as possible with view to perfecting
the army in the rudiments of aerial

NORTH ROAD TO BE GRADED.
Commercial Club Get Busy With the
Commissioners.

There has been considerable COM
plant recently from the farmers who
have been compiled to use the road
entering the city by the capitol, that
the old road had been closed to the
bubble and the regular, or laid-out
road was too steep a grade to permit
of hauling heavy loads over it. 1t
was feared for time that this would
lead to the diverting of some of the
grain from Bismarck to other points
and the Commercial club called the
attention of the commissioners to the
fact who Immediately took action to
have the grade reduced.
The work will be commenced In a
few days and will be completed in
time for the farmers to use the road
in hauling their grain to the Bismarck
market.

R, R, COMMISSIONERS
have BUSY SESSION
THREE COMPLAINTS AGAINST
ROADS ARE ENTERED AT
SPECIAL MEETING.
United CONNIE rciai Travellers Com
plain of Service Between Mandan
and Beach.

The North Dakota board of rail-
road commissioners held special
meeting at the capitol yesterday at
ternoon at which time protest
against the services Of the N. P. be-
tween Beach and Mandan was enter
ed by the United Commercial Trav-
elers.
The members of this organization
claim that since the Inauguration of
the new service a couple of months
ago they have not been able to make
any time in getting over the roa'5
as they are not allowed to ride Oh
freight trains as heretofore One i'll
stance was noted where it takes 81
hours to cover a territory of twent."-
nine miles, and in some cases it is
impossible to make more than Two
towns day unless there is an endless
amount of doubling" done: The
petitioners for better services say
that although there has been one more
passenger train added to the tine
card it makes no difference with them
as they have only one local train
each way, Nos Is and Is. They claim
in their petition that they, who are
paying full fare every day, are dis
eliminated against in favor of the
passengers for the coast, who make
only one trip over the road In many
years and are also travelling on a
greatly reduced fare. The commission
will take the matter up with the rail-
roads and will probably have a repol.
to make, at the next meeting, Sept
End.
Another complaint lodged with the
railroad commission was from towns
between jamestown and Mckenzie,
who claim they are Disseminated
against in the matter Of rates to term
inals as compared with other towns
In practically the same location and
at the same distance from the market.
The matter will be taken up by the
commission and if there is found to
be merit in the case action will be
taken in time to be in effect for the
shipments of fall grain.
Cattle shippers west of the Mis-
souri, river on the N. P. also came
to the front with petition ii, which
they claimed there was an unjust
discrimination made against them ami
in favor of shippers east Of the river.

of the Missouri river is $4,000 pounds
and from points east of the river 22.-
900, and those west of the river want
the commission to look into the MAJ
ter and discover if possible Wheeler
there is any justice in the difference
in rates.
Most of the time of the con1nis-
sion yesterday was taken up in pass
ing on the bonds of elevators, grain
warehouses anr flour mills in the
state. The commission receives ev-
cry day large lunches of bonds and
it IS expected that by September 1.
there will be nearly 5000 licensed
warehouses in the state for the pur-
chase of wheat There are number
of houses that have not made any
attempt to furnish bonds and we are
informed that there will be something
doing as soon as they attempt to buy
wheat or other grain without lie
