Opinion in FreightdRate Case.
The opinion Of the State Railroad com
mission on the question of whether or not
the commission has the authority to raise
freight rates, written by Commissioner
Eaton, reached the office of the COM
mission at the state house today, being
mailed from Mr.. Baton's home at Usage.
The opinion has not been read and signed
by the other members Of the board as yet,
and so was not given out for publication.
There is not the slightest doubt, and 1t is
known on good authority. that the de-
cision is to the effect that the commission
has the authority to raise rates. The
other members will sign the paper, and il
will be published tomorrow. The question
was raised because the law seems to be
ambiguous on the point. and lawyers for
the railroads filed briefs and arguments
on the question.
Not Darn Room Enough.
The board Of directors of the department
OF agriculture are having a hard time to
decide what to do with all the horses
that are entered for this years fair. There
are about 800 head entered and only barn
room for about 700 head. For many years
the barn room has been crsmped, but this
year more so than ever. 1t may be that
some Of the entries will have to be cut
down. The COW barn room is also too
small. A big new horse barn is being
erected, which will help out considerably.
Big tents may have to be put up for the
remainder.
