An aged Jersey farmer. visiting a
circus for the first time, stood before
the dromedarys cage, eyes popping
and mouth agape at the strange beast
within. The circus proper began and
the crowds left for the main show, but
still the old man stood before the cage
in stunned silence, appraising every
detail of the misshapen legs, the Glow
en- hoofs, the pendulous upper lip, and
the curiously mounded back of the
sleepy eyed beast Fifteen minutes
passed. Then the farmer turned
away and spat disgustedly.

NORTHWESTERN TO RENEW
RAILROAD BUILDING

Hurson, s. d., March Sit is given
out by those in position to know that
work on the Hitchcock Onida branch
Of the Chicago & Northwestern railway
will be resumed as soon as weather
will permit. During the past few weeks
immense quantities of building mate
rial has been sent to Onida for distri-
button along the new extension. In adj
dition to this work the company has
constructed 80 or more concrete bridges
and culverts, nearly all of them along
lines in this part Of the state. This
work will also be resumed in the early,
spring, and will be carried on until
the wooden bridges and ~culverts are,
replaced with reinforced concrete
structures. The n spanning Medicine
Creek, between Canning and Rosseau,
is IS feet long and Is the largest of
the number yet constructed. At the
same place a canal 1900 feet long was
constructed to straighten the course of
Medicine Creek, which is known as a.
treacherous stream during the spring
foods. With these new culverts and
bridges the road has been greatly inn
proved and strengthened against spring
floods. The company is planning to
employ a vast number Of men in the
construction Of the railroad during the
ensuing season.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
SCORE BIG VICTORY
IN FEDERAL COURT
South Dakota Railway Com
mission Enjoined From En-
forcing the New Rates.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., March 5.-Judge
Carland's decision handed down in fed
eral court here yesterday afternoon
was a complete defeat for the railroad
commission and practically end the at
tempt OF the part of the railroad COM
mission to fix express rates in South
Dakota.
On December Is, 1909, the railroad
commission issued what is known as
Different Tariff No. l." which was to,
go into effect January Is, 1910. Before
that time the express companies pro-
cured a temporary restraining order
preventing the commission from at
tempting to put into effect Its new
schedule pending a decision from fed
eral court. The railroad commission
filed a demurrer to the complaint OF
the express companies, setting up lack
Of Jurisdiction. This demurrer was ar
gued several days g and this after
noon Judge Garland handed down his
decision, the closing paragraph of
which Ia as follows:
The words such schedule refer to
the rates established by the act and;
the power given is only to change, mod
ify and establish a rate in such sched-
ule that has been found to be unjust or
too high or discriminatory. The legis-
lature certainly would not have gone
10 the trouble or establishing legislative
rates and in the same law provided
that the railroad commission could alb
rogate them as soon as they went into
effect by making a new general sched-
ule. It seems clear that the legislature
for fear 1t might in some cas do an
injustice by making a horizontal reduc-
ton In rates by sections 5 n 6 of
chapter number 1853, intended to pro-
vide a remedy to the express companies
or n person interested to complain
In particular instances of the injustice
of the rate which would be created by
the provisions Of section 4. AS the
court Is Of the opinion for the reasons
herein stated that the board Of railroad
commissioners had no authority to
make a schedule for the rates COM
planned of, 1t is not necessary to deter
mine whether chapter 159 is valid or
not. The demurrer will be overruled,
and 1t is so ordered"

RURAL CARRIER GIVES
LIFE TO THE SERVICE

WATERFOWL, 8. D., March g.
Frank Marston, rural carrier
No. 8 out of WATERFOWL, is dead,
a hero In the civil service. He
was found Saturday evening ly-
ing across the tongue of his
wagon from which he had just
unhitched his team to help them
out Of a drift in which they had
become stalled. 1t was the last
hard lift of a hard day and a
ruptered blood vessel in his head
cost him his life. For the last
week all roads in the county
have been practically impossible
but with the grim determination
of his soldier ancestry, Marston
stuck to his duty and by coax
ing, dragging and lifting he
helped his little team over his
trip every day. Yesterday was
the climax, so far as bad roads
was concerned, and he must
have walked much of the 80
miles and helped his team out Of
many slush holes, for when
found within two miles of town
he was soaked to his waist.
Gently lifting him into his
wagon some farmers. whom he
had served so faithfully, brought
him into town, but doctors
could not save him. He was Sc
years old and unmarried.
