GRAIN RATE
inter- State Commerce Commission
Investigate Rates

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ut the In
terstate Commerce grain rate hear
Ing at Aberdeen, are the South
Dakota railway commission, the
South Dakota Millers' association
the state of North Dakota, the Su.
perior (Wis.) board OF trade and Com.
mercial club, the Minneapolis Traffic
association, and the Duluth. Mimi
Commercial club. All the railroads
entering the state are also represent
ed by their attorneys and their gem
eral freight agents. A number OF
commercial clus Of South Dakota
sent representatives, who desired to
have the present freight rates investi-
gated, as well as the proposed increase
in grain rates, effective November /,
but G. r. Hillyer, who is conducting
the hearing o IN behalf of the interstate
commerce commission, decided this
was not the proper time or place to
so into that matter, and the request
was refused. In taking up the in
vestlgatlon proper, the defendant
railroads declared the roads entering
South Dakota were not receiving the
proportionate share of interest and
dividends on their investments In
this state, by a quarter million dollars
a year, and contended the proposed
raise in grain rates was necessary to
bring the income from South Dakota
business up to that received from 9TH
er states on the same amount Of capt.
tai invested. They contend the in
crease in wages and the increased cost
of materials used in arilroad construc-
ton make it necessary to raise rates
to keep the income above the expense
of conducting and maintaining the
railroads.
The hearing promises t be quite
extended, and in order to expedite
matters as much as possible, night
hearings will be held.

LAND MARK AN ASH PILE
WillowdaIe, Abandoned Resort Near
Sioux Falls, is Destroyed

Sioux Falls-Willowdale, famous
over South Dakota as one of the
earlier day resorts, situated on the
Siouv river, about two miles west OF
the city, was destroyed by fire during
last evening. The city FIRE depart
ment was notified by telephone thar
a building was burning, about two
blocks west of the Lowell school and
a quick run was made to that local
ity.
When the brow of the west hill was
reached Chief Arendt discovered the
fire a mile or more west and with one
chemical engine, the journey across
the turnpike, which is a very poor
road, even in broad day, was made,
with the horses doing their best.
Arrived at the scene of the fire IL
was found that the building was too
nearly destroyed to warrant any eff
fort to save it, though the few up
right timbers which remained and
were on fire, were subjected to a SUI
6cient treatment from the chemical
to put out the fame.
The building was owned by Louis
Schubert and was last occupied by a
regular tenant some years ago.
1t was erected in the administra-
ton of Mayor Wiley about twenty
Ave years since and for years was the
residence of Madam Doyle.
Later q man named Crawford con-
Quoted it and when the people of that
part of the county objected to the city
having its undesirable population To-
Gated In the rural districts, the state
closed the resort.

RAILROAD EXTENSION
Milwaukee VIII do Some Work on the
Fox Ridge Grade This Fall

Pierre he railroad situation nj
present looks like the closing UP OF all
extension work until spring next
year. While II Is announced that the
Minneapolis & st. Louis company win
get some of the construction work
done on their line between here and
Aberdeen before winter closes down,
there is a report from Aberdeen that
the whole proposition has gone over
until next year. But regardless OF
that report the people who are hand
ling the proposition from this end OF
the line are confident that the work
will be commenced within a few days,
and q part of the track laid on the old
grade this fall.
accidentally. with the possibilities
of that line in the way OF building,
a mortgage was fled with the seere-
tary of state Saturday for a ten-year
loan of $3.50, 900 to the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Railway company, by the
Pennsylvania company, the loan be-
ing for the purchase of new equip
ment. Whether the new equipment has
anything to do with possible extern
sion work in Dakota this fall is not
known.
The Northwestern road has finished
its grading work on its Dallas extern
sion as far as Winner, and the track
will likely be laid that far west this
fall. But that appears to be about the
limit OF extension work for that sys-
TEN this year.
The Milwaukee and Puget Sound
line is pushing its rails farther west
on the Fox Ridge grade, and claims 1t
will be operating into Faith before
the first of next year. To make good
on this they will have to push the
work or take chances on the fine fall
weather extending into the winter,
While there sre rumors OF other
moves on the part of the old company
east of the river, rsmor is about as
far as 1t can be traced for this year.
Incidentally this company has also

state department, today fling releases

FIFTlETH ANNIVERSARY
Conference at Mitchell Marks Half
Century of Methodism in State

~ ~
Mitchell-The converting of the CON
ference in this city will mark the
fiftieth anniversary Of the coming
of the first Methodist itinerant into
the then territory of Dakota, which
was brought about through the ap-
pointment of Rev. Stephen w. Ing
ham by the Upper Iowa conference.
Ingham was a young circuit rider, and
began his work in October, 1860,
preaching his first sermon at Vermil-
lion, Sunday, October IA. Three
months later the first religious organ
ization of any kind, in the lower half
Of the territory at least, was organ
lied and at that time the presiding
elder of the Sioux City district held
the first quarterly conference. Dur
ing his two years ~pastorate Mr.. Ing
ham travelled from Elk Point to Fort
Randall and also to Sioux Falls, and
visited the pioneers then there. He
was succeeded in 1870 by Rev. Jason
l.. Paine, a superannuated preacher
from the Upper Iowa, conference.
The Mitchell meeting will be made
prominent from the fact that two
bishops will be present-Bishop Nuel-
sen, representing the German denomi-
nation of the church, and Bishop Old
ham, the missionary bishop from
Singapore. Bishop Nuelsen will be
the presiding officer and Bishop Old
ham will take part in the missionary
features of the conference.

Construction Work Will Probably be
Pushed in the Spring

Aberdeen-A party of high officials
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railway company, including Theo-
dore p. Shonts, president, Edwin
H. Hawley, chairman of the board
of directors, and w. G. Board, general
manager, visited Aberdeen in a special
train on Friday. The officials were
on a general inspection tour of the
system, but in addition they came to
decide upon the practicability of at
once beginning work on the construc-
ton of the roads contemplated line
from Aberdeen to Pierre, over the old
Pierre grade" built by the Pierre
capital boomers twenty years ago and
offered to the road which would agree
to iron it and run trains over 1t. The
st. Louis accepted the offer last year,
and this year secured an extension OF
time to October /. Late in September
it was announced that the contrsct
had been let for ironing the grade TO
Winston brothers and that work
would be commenced at once. Gener-
al Manager Beard blasted all such
hopes oD Friday, however, when he
stated that owing to the lateness of
the season 1t would be impossible to
secure contractors who would agree to
push the work, and that the company
therefore, would wait until spring be-
fore beginning construction work. The
announcement is a great disappo Mt
ment not only to Aberdeen and Pierre,
but to a number of intervening towns
which had been counting on more dir
rect connection by rail with the
metropolis of the northern part of the
state or with the state capital. Mr..
Beard implied, however. that the road
would build the extension as soon as
spring opens.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Not great deal of legislation is
expected from this session of Con-
gress. AS n general rule the short
session does not undertake any
measure Of more than ordinary I'M
portuncc Time Is generally spent on
appropriation bills. and this will be
the case at this time. The measures
of far-reaching consequence VIII be
left for the new Congress, and little
will be done by this session. And TINS
will be it's greatest merit. For the
Country does not really suffer from
the lack of legislation.
1t is expected that some time VIII be
spent on an attempt to revise the House
rules 30 as to take the appointive power
away from the Speaker. 1t Is thought
probable that Congress will be asked,
at this session, to give more funds and
larger powers to the tariff commission,
This commission WIS created for the
purpose of gathering information re-
garding the tariff. but 1t was not given
power to subpoena witnesses or compel
people TO answer questions. 1t may
not even use information detrimental
to the overprotccted trusts which has
been gathered by the Bureau of Cor
porutions. If the purpose for which the
commission was created Is to be gained,
1t must have more power, and 1t Is
regarded as likely that same action
may be taken by this session.
There is some representations re-
gardng the probable lowering of GER
tain schedules in the tariff. II mas
been thought that the duty on paper
and wood pulp may be reduced; also
on wooden goods; but the probability
is that tariff revision will be left for
the next Congress.
