A RAISE IN The
N. D. GRAIN RATES
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION MAY ALLOW RAISE IN
NORTH DAKOTA GRAIN RATES
TO MILLING AND SHIPPING
POINTS IN THE EAST.

TN all probability the freight rates
on grain and fax between stations
in North Dakota and the twin cities
and Chicago as well as the upper lake
ports, will be raised about Feb. L."
said F. o. Gibbs, manager of the
Northwestern Traffic g. Credit Bureau,
this morning.
"The railroads are asking the COM
mission to make a blanket advance on
the grain rates and rates dealing with
some of the other classes and it is
entirely probable that the commission
will allow this advance to be made.
This raise was to have taken place the
middle of this month, but the COM
mission decided to Investigate the con-
ditions before allowing the advance"
According to the plan that has been
presented by the railway corporations
there will be an advance in the class
rates of 20 per cent and the commodity
rates will be swung up about 10 per
cent On small shipment of a few
hundred pounds this advance will not
be noticed but on larger shipments the
change will be felt keenly. The raise
will make Ii cost about S24 more
money to ship car of grain to Chi
cago than II does at the present time,
which, when considering the vast
amount of grain that is shipped from
this state, will amount to a huge
amount when this extra charge is
summed up"
When asked if he would advise the
farmers of the state to ship out all
their grain before the time set for the
giving of the interstate commerce
commission decision, Mr. Gibbs re-
piled that he would not" Although
he could see no harm in shipping it
out now, yet there might be slight
possibility Of the commission deciding
that the rates shall remain stationary.
At the present time the commission
Is carrying on an investigation in
washington and from the result of
this investigation will the commission
render it's decision in regard to the
tariff on grain. The examination win
be watched with much interest on the
part of the farmers as well as public
in general, which will in all probabil-
ity ultimately pay for the advance in
rates.

FURNITURE TASTES
Reflect the individuality of the Owner
Modern Furniture Made to
Suit All Tastes.

Just as it Is customary to remark
that woman's hat or coat are in or
out Of style so it is customary now
adays to remark on the fact that furni-
ture is or is not in style, for styles
in furniture are subject to change just
as other things change. One differ
ence however, marks furniture styles
and that is that GOOD furniture is
ALWAYS in style, no matter how old
or of what pattern, If it is good 1t is
| in style.
! In making your purchases, however,
| 1t is well to bear in mind the fact
that it costs no more, If you buy
your furniture here, to get furniture
that is right both in quality and style
than to get something that is a 'lit-
tie off" in style, little less desirable
| in quality. We aim to keep abreast
of the most advanced ideas and to
keep prices at the lowest possible
level.
| Now, on the threshold OF the gift
season we want to remind you of the
fact that in these days of practical
things gifts which are useful are the
| rule. There can be nothing more USE
] full, more suggestive OF the interest Of
the giver, than one good selection
from our good stock. No matter how
expensive a gift you wish to select;
no matter how small the sum you wish
to expend, we can satisfy your de-
sires In merchandise that will be a
credit to you.
Before the holiday rush begins come
in and inspect the offerings of this
store. Bring your list with you and
check up the possibilities that are
here, excellent In quality moderate in
price. You will really be surprised to
see how far you can make a given
amount of money so here In gift buy
ing and then, there's the satisfaction
that comes from knowing that your
selections are the very best.
Drop in the next time you're down
town, look over this furniture stock.

CITY COUNCIL
LETS CONTRACTS

MAIN CONTRACTS AT SPECIAL
SESSION CALLED LAST NIGHT

The special session OF the city coun-

was BRIEF one. Owing to a misun-
Outstanding, 1t had been the general
impression that there were 20 be a
larger number of bids to be considered
than were opened. Only two contracts
were let
For both contracts G.. III. Porritt and
l.. w. Schruth were the only bidders.
The figures of each contractor were the
same for the two jobs in each of their
respective bids. In each l.. w. Schruth
was the lowest bidder and was award
ed both contracts. Mr. Schruths bid
for the water mains in both were s1.26
per lineal foot for 6-inch pipe, and
ST. for hydrant complete, including g.
inch gate and box between main and
hydrant. He guaranteed to have the
work completed by Dec. 10.
Mr.. Porrittis bid for the same on
both jobs was $1.29 per lineal foot for
6-inch pipe, and $50 for hydrant COM
plete. The contracts call for water
mains on Fifth avenue north, between
Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets, and
on Fourteenth street north between
First and N. p. avenues.
Mayor Discusses Finances.
Following the transaction of the
business for which the meeting was
called, Mayor Lowell stated that he
wished to take the opportunity to re-
mark on a few criticisms on the
finances Of the administration which
had appeared in the newspapers re-
Gently.
Il take this OCCASION" he said. "to
speak of some criticisms on this adj
ministration which have appeared re-
Gently in the newspapers. do not
think they have been intended in alto
gether a kindly spirit. But whether
they have or not, sometimes we can
learn from unkindly and unfriendly
criticism. We may be able to do so
in this case.
Il am sure 1t Is not the city council
intention nor mine to make this
administration in the least extrava-
CANT. And l know we all realize our
duty and position in handling the city's
finances in a fiduciary capacity, so that
there is no other intention than to
exert the greatest care and precaution
in this particular. And from now on
the city auditor will notify each com
mittee Of the council at the first of
each month just how much is the re-
spective appropriation OF the various
committees to be expended every
month"
Certain members of the council
complimented the mayor on his sue
cessfuI efforts in securing a certain
grant of land from the Northern Pa
cific railroad which he, with the aid
of City Attorney Shure, has recently
acquired for the city's use.

Surely Helen Rowland's epigram

no fairly apply to the business girl. .

DO NO WRONG.
gecurity and Profit Usually the Things
Considered, But Others Are
important.

1t is a are thing to find a block OF
money, "a of the size Of a million of
dollars. that has not a soul in the CEN
ter. Hid away in the vast pile Of the
corporation is the laborer's sacred
isavngs that he invested, a thousand
dollars, or the patient widows mite OF
a hundred, or the little child's handful
of pennies. ten or fifteen dollars. says
Rev, Emory j. Haynes. These are the
soul of the million. They stand for
prayers and tears, for sacrifice n
trembling hope, for the shield of age
and the child's schooling.
AS old Sodom was to have been
saved for even the sake Of five
righteous men If found there. so the
million dollars is s~afe-guarded by a
just ruler of all the earth for the sake
of the good dollars that make it's soul.
Perhaps the fact cannot be always
proved. But 1t would be easy to prove
that conscience should nave something
to say about where to invest our mon
ey. Nor is the smart investor respon-
sible for the wickedness of the great
corporation which he cannot prevent.
Nor is the honest small investor ex-
cused from all thought about his in
vested dollars morals.
In a life-plan of the highest ORDER
the purpose that an investment 10 to
serve surely has it's place, to serve sid
not to injure mankind. 1t Is possible
to choose. Certainly 1t is possible to
judge the characters of the men who
are managing the great corporation.
1t is not a generally accepted truth
among young men that they could bet
ter manage their savings themselves,
as a rule. But surely the discipline Of
planning, the sense of responsibility
and the strength Of mind which make
the growing man come with personal
ARE Of his surplus. Plan to found your
own business. Fortune Is not a slot
machine run by corporation directors.
If you yourself are both the corpora
ton and the investor you can certainly
manage the morals Of the concern.

can play a larger part than in the in
vestment a young man makes. Yet 1t
