ANOTHER OBSTACLE.

Tuesdays snow puts new phase
on the farming situation, for 1t is
estimated that not more than 10 per
cent of the fax crop has been thresn-
ed Flax being the main crop this
year. the farmers should use every
precaution in saving it. We have
talked with farmers who have had
an experience with SNOW covered
fax, and they say that there is q
chance to save the crop yet, pro
viding the SNOW does not thaw and
freeze the fax to the ground. The
farmers should shake out the snow
we'll before stacking the flax and this
can be done successfully If the
weather remains cold enough 9th
erwise, much fax will have to remain
on the ground until spring, when per
haps 80 per cent of it can be saved .
Naturally it would be off color and
sell for a less price hut at that 1t
will be a valuable crop whenever
threshed. The price of fax has been
on the decline. but Tuesdays snow
fall is expected to boost the price

THRESH|NC IS on
... 4. IN FULL BLAST
Farmers Making Use Of Every Good
oay-some Flax Remains to Be
Cut-Farmers Want Ten Days More
Of Good Weather.

The farmers are putting forth all
energy these fine fall days, with their
threshing. The rains interfered with
their work to such an extent durins
the early part of the fall, that it look
ed for a time as tho snow might
catch the crop, doing great damage to
it. The past week or ten days have
been favorable for the work and ev-
cry day sees quite a hole made in
this important work.
Many of the farmers are stacking
their grain, but as there is a scar
city of hands, this is unusually slow
work this year. Still, some of the
farmers have been able to get their
entire crop stacked without dollar
worth of hire and can now rest with
the assurance that even tho the snow
does come, the crop will be threshed
out some day.
Many Of the harvest hands ~ who
were here, grew discouraged at thk
weather, and loft. Many Of the far
mers are now exchanging work.
The farmers generally did not stor
work last Sunday, nearly every
threshing rig in this part of the state
going full blast.
Some of the fax remains to be cut
but it will practically all be gathered
without loss. In some OF the fla1
fields there we're ponds. Of Ice las

sum FROM 500
Loea, Goa, Dealers and Consumers Of
Llsnlte Coal Have Employed Attor-

Recovery Of Alleged overcharses

Local coal dealers and consumers
have employed Attorney W. F. Doh

Railway company claimed to be over
charges for freight on Ignite coal,
the company charging the old freight
rate up until Sept, 1910.
Claims against the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific have al
ready been paid, and the action is
taken at the present time to preven.
.srhe claims against the 500 from be-
/ coming outlawed The at;1rney be-
lieyes that the case will be taken
to the supreme court, and feels con-
tident of winning out ultimately
In 1903, the state legislature pro
vided maximum Ignite coal rate
which the 500 ignored. Again In
1905 the rate was again provided and
the company ignored it a second
time. A third time the legislature
provided the rate and for the third
time the railway companies ignored
it.
The attorney general then brought
an action in the state supreme court
requiring the railroads to put the coal
rate into effect and referee was ap-
pointed by the court to take testi-
mony. He reported to the supreme
court that the rate was fair and rea
solable u The supreme court rem
dered decision aosordingly.
It held that it was immaterial II
the railroads did lose money hauling
Ignite i. coal providing they made
money from the entire freight bust
ness and permanently en5ofned tn,
railroads from collecting tho old rate
The railroads appealed to the Unltet
States supreme court on the grounl
that the rate was confscatory AMI
taking property without due process,
of law and without just compensa-
tion
In April 1910, the U. S. supreme
court rendered a decision holding
that the railroads failed to show tina

vided in the decision that at some fl1
ture time, railroads could submit tes
timony for a trial of the Legislative
and if they were able to show tn
rate to be confiscatory, then the couI
would again consider tho case. Th
railroads made application in Jul,
1911, to the supreme court Of Mort

to hear testimony. At present tn
