GOING AFTER wELLs-FAReo.
State Railroad Commission Declares
Corporation Must Obey Law.

Mitchell.-The hearing before the
Ludlow, the traffic manager Of the
Wells-Fargo Express Company, was
held, the company being called upon
to show why it should not comply
with the state laws adopted by the
last legislature, requiring it to reduce
Its rates 20 per cent.
Ludlow assumed the position that
on Jan. the Wells-Fargo Company
was not doing business in the state
and had no rates to be adjusted I'M
der the state law.
Upholds Higher Rate.
He said that when his company
came into the state it made its rates
on the mileage basis, about three
times as high as the first class freight
rates Of the railroads in the state.
He was much opposed to making the
minimum rate of any package less
than SO cents, though the other COM
panies' minimum rate was 35 cents.
The result of the conference was a
declaration on the part of the COM
mission that, while the present sched-
ule Of express rates established by the
other companies doing business III the
state, aside from the Wells-Fargo,
were apparently in line with the law
passed by the legislature, that COM
pany stood out against compliance
with the law.
Grabs Big Stick.
In order to force that company to
adopt the same schedules in force on
other lines it might be necessary for
the railroad commission to make up
and establish tariff covering express
rates based on distance. If SO, it
might mean some slight changes on
the part of the other companies. If
the Wells-Fargo Company agrees to
putting it's rates under the 1909 law
the matter will be dropped.
Commissioner Ness, on behalf of the
Commercial Club, made a statement to
The commission asking for joint
freight rates from Mitchell to the
Black Hills country and also requir.
Ing the Milwaukee and the Omaha
roads to connect their tracks in this
city.
A hearing of this matter will be
held here on Aug. "a.

Many parents oppose their daughters in adopt

than anywhere else To my mind this is an erroneous
idea and wrong ITO the pure all things are pure, :"
and there is no good reason why . woman should
not lead life as pure and correct the stage as
elsewhere.
If young woman is employed in shop she, in
all probability, earns salary not to exceed $40
week, and the majority of women employed in the
shops of the great cities earn from 81 to Sc weekly.
Money-or want of moneys acknowledged by all
students of ethics be of the strongest factors
in the temptation of young women from the path of
virtue. We find the temptation, in that respect far
less on the stage than anywhere, for the very simple
reason that young woman on the stage, even when
playing very small part, will command q salary
