bounds at any moment, and which the
officials of the city watched continually.
Throughout other portions of the city
the conditions are much the same. The
Emigration canyon stream has done con

Tenth South and though the water was
receding at | o clock Wednesday night,
the officials Of the city who have the

BULLETIN ON COAL
BY TRAFFIC BUREAU
Attention Is Called to Low Rates
on Commodity in North
Dakota.
PUT INTO EFFECT By
SUPREME COURT ORDER
Little More Than 0ne-Third OF
Amount Charged by Denver
& Rio Grande.

Officers OF the Commercial Club trdt.
| Gc bureau call attention to the low
| freight traffic rates for the transporta-
| ton Of coal put into effect recently in
| North Dakota by order of the state su-
preme court, aud which in many cases
arc little more than one-third the rate
charged for transports alton of coal over
the Denver & Rio Grandc railroad for
similar distances. In the following bul
letlD, comparison rs made of the rates
for transportation of coal from Clear
Creek to some Of the principal points
portation over the same distances, ac-
cording TO the schedule recently put
INTO operation iu North Dakota
From this bulletin it appears that the
rate requested by the Commercial Club
traffic bureau some time ago of $L05
per ton for distances varying from
rs to J54 miles over the Denver &
Rio Grandc railroad, is greater than the
rate for the longest distance over that
railroad, according TO the North Da-
kota schedule Tho bulletin, which con
talns considerable interesting matter,
follows:
Public Is Advised.
The attention Of the public Is again in;
vited to the excessive rates on coal
road company in Utah. and which our
people are compelled to pay. as compared
with rates deemed reasonable in other
states.
On the 18th instant our bulletin stated
the rates ordered established by the Mis-
souri, state railroad and warehouse COM
mission within that state and which were
about one-Ihird the rates charged by the
Denver & Rio Grandc company in Utah
for equal distances above fifty miles.
Two years ago the legislature of the
state of North Dakota enacted a law es-
tahlishing maximum rates on coal in that
state, but which OF course the railroad
companies forthwith attacked in the
courts as being confscatory and the law
unconstitutional.
After lighting the matter all the way
up 10 the state supreme court on the 18th
inst. the latter held the rates 10 be reason
able, the law constitutional. enjoiuing the
railroads from charging higher rates ard
ordering them Ia put into effect the tariff
fixed by the legislature.
4 copy of the tariff has been supplied
to this bureau by the secretary Of the
railroad commission of North Dakota, and
for the distances stated they compare
with the rates now charged by the Den
Yer & Rio Grande company in Utah as
