: The matter of rates from non-com-
petititive points on the 500 out OF
Grand Forks to points north and
south of Kenmare were to have been
taken up but the 500 company failed
to have a representative present and
the matter was left over to a special
meeting to be held here Tuesday OF
next week. If the company has no
representative present the relief pray
ed for will be granted as the commits
sioners are of the opinion that the
petition should be acted upon favor
ably.
The matter Of freight rates from
Grand Forks to University was also
taken up and was taken under ad'
visement after some considerable dis
cussion.
The question of charges on empty
carriers returned by express compan'
les was also taken under Amusement
and will be settled at the next meet
ing of the commission.
An opinion was received from At
torney General Miller to the effec!
that the practice of certain farmers
elevator companies in issuing stor'
ago tickets to terminal grain com
mission companies as security for ad
vances made was not only illegal but
criminal. The matter had been called
to the attention of the companies in.

further action will be necessary.

and Devils Lake. d"

A former member of the legislature
who attended the United States dis.
trict court at Devils Lake made a
count of all the cases of beer put OH
the express car between Fargo and
Devils Lake at the few stations where
stops were made. His count was 1877
cases and the messenger told him
it was not an unusual number for
that train.
He also counted empties at the
stations until the number go so large
he was unable to retain it. This gen
tleman is a total abstainer and has
been theoretical prohibitionist, but
he is beginning to doubt the propo-
sition that prohibition promotes total
abstinence.
