THE RAILWAY
COMMISSION
Extended Lumber Schedule
of Freight Rates to Points
West of River
THE BOARD ACTS ON CHAMBERLAIN BRIDGE
The Meeting Adjourned to Chicago
for the Examination If Pas en-
ger Rate Experts

Sioux Falls Press: The state board
of railway commissioners, in session
Friday in this city, took action upon
the extension of the schedule of freight
rates on lumber in South Dakota
which will be of the utmost interest
to the people of Sioux Falls and other
towns east of the Missouri river in
this state.
The beard extended the lumber
schedule which has been in force east
of the river, for some months, to points
west of the Missouri river.
This action was taken upon repre-
sentations of lumber mills in the
Black Hills that they can ship lumber
as far east as Sioux Falls at profit
and reduce the price to the consumer,
If the freight rate schedule which is
now in force east of the Missouri, be
extended west of the river and the
state board of railway commissioners
decided to allow them to make the
effort.
The board also issued wood sched-
ule, which makes an average reduc-
tion of 20 l-2 per cent in the freight
rate upon Wood used for fuel from
points west of the Missouri river.
The attorneys for the commission
were instructed to look up the law
and advise the board whether or not
any action can be taken by the board
to secure the building of steel rail
way bridge or some other kind of a
permanent structure across the Miss
ouri river at Chamberlain, by the
Milwaukee Railroad company.
This question arose as the result of
the visit which the commission paid
to Chamberlain some weeks ago when
the pontoon bridge now in use by the
Milwaukee was out of commission,
and it has now been referred to the
attorneys of the commission to deter
mine what the law will permit the
commission to do about it.
The board adjourned last evening
until April Is when it will meet in
Chicago, when Master in Chancery
Gates will sit at another hearing
and the Northwestern road will cross
examine Experts Hillman and Witt,
upon the testimony which those two
gentlemen gave at direct examination
in this city.
Master in Chancery Gates allowed
the road until the 18th to prepare for
making the cross examination.
The reduction ofthe rate upon wood
for fuel from points in the Black Hills
will enable the. people out there tc
clean the wood which has been killed
by insects, from the forests and sell it
for fuel, before it all pecays and be-
comes worthless.
The commission yesterday afternoon
also considered toll line telephone
rates, as well as other schedules OF
telephone rates in the state, but no
action was taken.

LOVE AND FLOWERS.
The Advice 4 Discerning Woman Gave
Unto Her Daughter.

Unto Her Daughter.
My daughter, wouldst thou know a
mans secret? Go to the florist, then,
o simple one, for in him every man
reposeth his confidence.
Yea. by the flowers which he sendeth
a woman shall ye judge the quality
of mans love, likewise the quantity
and exact stage.
AS violets pass unto roses, and roses
unto cheap carnations, and carnations
unto naught, so passeth his grand pas
sion from the first throes into matri-
mony.
Lo, at the beginning of a love affair
,Gai'': with what care man selecteth
lis l.owvrs in person, that not wited
violet shall offend thine eyes!
Yet as time passeth he telephoneth
his orders and leaveth it all to the
clerk. And there cometh day when
he murmureth wearily, II say, old
chap, make that standing order, will
you"
Then the florist heaveth a sigh, for
he knoweth that the end is at hand
Yea, this is the mark of an engaged
man who doeth his duty. So after the
wedding bouquets all orders shall
cease together, and until he sccketh
flowers for his wife's grave that man
shall not again enter florists shop.
For stale carnations, bought upon
the street corner and carried home in
paper bag, are a fit Offering for any
wife. Yet funeral rcjoiccth the for
lists heart and maketh him to SMILE
for lie knoweth that widower's next
order shall be worthy Of new cause
and the game shall begin all over
again.
Verify, verify, my daughter, charge
thee, account no man in love until he
hath gone forth into the gardens and
the fields and plucked thee few dinky
pansies or stray weeds with his own
hands.
For when man scndeth thee violets
it may mean only sentiment, and when
he sendeth thee orchids it may be only
a bluff, but when he doeth real work
for any woman it meaneth business.
Selah!-London Tit-Bits.

Compromise Decision.

The Hague, Sept Though the
United States wins five OF the seven
counts in the North Atlantic fisheries
case. Great Britain is victorious in re-
spect to the two more important
features, under a decision handed down
by the International Court Of Arbltra-
ton today. The main result OF the de-
cision is that Great Britain will have
the authority to regulate fishing off the
Newfoundland coast. The case which
was argued by distinguished counsel,
the American delegation having been
headed by Senator Root, was one OF
the NOSE important ever decided by the
court, as it probably establishes an in
ternational precedent. The decision,
in general way, is looked upon as a
compromise.
The chief points at issue related to
the question whether the Newfound-
land government could impose regula-
tons upon the fishermen, without con
sulting the United States, since citizens
OF the United States enjoyed in com
mon with the British the liberty OF
fishing in the waters.
II is not believed that the decision
will disturb the industry to any great
extent, as the question OF the actual
right Of the Americans TO fish in the
waters was not at issue.
