Among the matters that will prob
ably be passed upon by the board of
railroad commissioners at Minot is
that of minimum charge for freight
shipments weighing less than hun
dred pounds. This is matter of con-
siderable interest to the shippers OF
the state in the dispatch of small
parcels. A minimum charge for
freight shipments is proper, but the
question seems to be as to what con-
stitutes a fair minimum charge. The
matter was pretty thoroughly gone
into at the recent meeting of the
commission at Fargo, where the ship
pers and representatives of the rail-
roads presented their views of the
case.

Northern Pacific Will Arrange for 4
Busy and Profitable Season.
jamestown, n. D., April 1.-The
program for improvement and other
work on the Dakota division Of the
Northern Pacific is expected to be
announced about April Is. So far
none of the Dago crews have returned
to the road. r. T.
The company will make good
many roadbed improvements On the
track and grade between Mandan and
Dickinson. New 80 pound rails will
be laid and many of the cuts widened
and much ballasting done. ~.
It is said that twenty-five work
trains will be started west of the
river working. The Northern Paciffc
will do an immense amount of work
on the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
divisions, which is nearly parallel ~
the new Milwaukee coast line. The
old pioneer line is determined that
their business shall not suffer on ac-
count of the new road, which will
probably not be completed much be-
fore July. The prospect is that all
railroad men on all divisions os>the
Northern Pacific will have long
season of work with, good pay. s5s,
The passenger traffic ever the line
promises to be enormous. "

INSPECTION OF LIQUOR.


After the tlrst of July those people
in the state who drink beverages 9TH
er than water will do so largely at
the pleasure and permission of Prof.
Ladd. the state pure food commits
sioner. BY the new liquor inspection
law passed last winter, and which
takes effect July l, all liquors sold
legally in the state must be passed
upon and approved by Prof. Ladd
before they can be sold. This. Of
course, will cover only sales of liquor
by druggists, who are the only per-
sons in the state authorized to sell
liquor.
Every brand of whiskey that is
sold must be analysed and approved
n pure by the state pure food COM
missioner or it cannot be sold with
ont the mourning of hne., The
charge for an examination of brand
Of whiskey or brandy is $3.50, and
this money goes into the agricultural
college at Fargo to be expended for
the benefit of the institution as the
board of directors deems best. The
same examination and approval will
have to be made of wines, for which
a fee of $50 is charged, and Of beer,
also, and porters, for which a fee
of SIS is charged. This fee covers a
brand and does not, OF course, have
to be paid in the case Of each sales
man. Pop, ginger ales, fruit drinks
and the other brands disposed Of
by soda fountains will also have to
be- analysed and approved, and a
fee of SO is charged for each dis
tinct brand or kind.
The penalties for sale of liquors or
beverages not approved is visited
against the druggists or the bever-
age dispenser, so that the enforce
ment Of the law can be made et'ec-
tive: The result of this law should
be to put beverages sold in the STAGE
in the class of pure drinks, so far as
their ingredients are concerned, If
they are not altogether to be classed
rs heaIthful. The revenue from the
system of inspection should be con-
siderable. as there are hundreds of
brands of liquors sold by different
rk~ t.
cinal purposes. There is likely, also,
to be great wedding out Of certain
brands of liquor when the pure food
commissioner gets busy. The new
law also defines whiskey and various
other intoxicating liquors, and fixes
the minimum of years which the liz
uor shall have been aged in wood be-
lore its sale will be permitted at all.

FANCY PRICE FOR OXEN

What Is probably the record price
for work oxen in this state, at least
In recent years, was received by Geo.
Schrader of Moyerville, Kidder coun-
ty, this week in a sale at his place.
He sold a pair of fine six-year-old
oxen, weighing 1850 pounds each, for
$780,. less one, or 1893. This rather
makes old Dobbin prick up his ears
and lays the benzine buggy craze

Of our farmers used them there would

recent report of a legislative smell
ing" committee: I'm fact, ever since
statehood, the management OF the
state affairs has been as good and as
free from scandal as perhaps that OF
any other state, and vastly better
than in many states emerging from
territorial conditions into statehood.
The institutions have been placed In
reasonably we'll located positions,
and have been fostered and built up
on a broad and liberal basis. AT
times it may have seemed that the
state had too broad a program OF
this kind, but at the present time ev-
cry institution, is filled and is serving
its purpose, and the wisdom of the
early leaders who outlined this pol
icy is borne out by present necessi-
ties. The entire history Of the de-
velopment of the various state In
stitutions has been creditable, and
the affairs of financial nature have
been, on the whole, managed without
scandal or any serious losses to the
people. The land and school funds
have been we'll handled and invested.
The small matters for criticism rails
ed by a faction, or by the OPPOSITION
to the majority party, dwindle into.

general results brought aboutSin the
