new EXPRESS TARIFF
GOES into EFFECT
10 PER CENT DECREASE IN THE
RATES UNDER NEW RULING.
One Graduate Billing to All Points in
the United States Is Compulsory by
Recent Act Of Congress.

The new tariff regulations, limiting
all express companies in the United
States to a one graduate billing, went
into eject yesterday and the change
was noticed markedly at the local
express companies.
The billing process is simplified a
great deal by the change, but 1t also
increases the work of the agents.
Hitherto packages going east were
listed on one bill to Chicago, the
transfer point, if the article weighs
more than seven pounds, or St. Paul,
if the article weighs less than seven
pounds, from where they are billed
out locally. Now it is necessary to
give each article a separate billing on
the uniform rate.
A price reduction of about 10 per
cent, on the average, will be etab-
lined from now on, so that the pop
ularity of that kind of shipment Will
be CORRESPONDENCE in the future. Up
to this time goods could not be ex'
pressed to town unless there was
two companies established there.
This was done as protection to NAe
various companies in competition.

Mayor Halvorson
Judge j. II. Greene spoke in favor
OF the valley site and called attention
to the disadvantages on account of
lack of fire protection and the mac
feasibility of the place. He said the
difficulty OF reaching the school on
the hill site by word should be con-
sidered, inasmuch as such a roadway
would be impossible during most of
the school year on account of the

Judge Greene said many of the per-
sons signing the petitions since the
controversy came up many signed the
petitions impressed with the fear
that the building of the school would
go over another year and there would
be no money spent there by the state
this year when it is so much needed.
The railroads, said Judge Greene.

WILL BUILD SIL0S'
IN north DAKOTA

A. X. Risser of Colorado Springs,
a representative of the dairy division
of the United States department of
agriculture has been in the city
couple of days and in company with
Dairy Commissioner Flint of the
North Dakota department., left this
morning for Grafton where the gentle
men will spend some time superin-
tending the construction of mum.
Der of silos.
Up to this time there have been
no reinforced concrete silos built in
North Dakota and the representatives
of the dairy commissioners are in
terested in a huber of experimental
structures which are to be erected
near Grafton.
Mr.. Riser is in charge of the dairy
interests in the Northwestern states
and he has just witnessed the collec-
ton of a large number of cement
silos in Idaho, coming from there to
North Dakota.
"SilOs of all styles and makes have
long been common in the older states
where dairy cows are fed with profit. "
said Mr.. Riser, but the ones now
considered the cheapest and most dur
able, are the reinforced concrete
structures.
1.-The silo is built at a convenient
point on the farm. 1t Is round, IL
feet across and 30 feet in height. On
one side a line of doors are provided
for the easy han ing of the feed.
Corn is cut just at point just
before ripening. The stocks. husks,
ears and all are cut into moderately
fine bits in their green state and then
thoroughly packed in the silo. When
filled the top is closed and all the
doors securely fastened, thus render
ing the big bin air tight. The feed
is thus kept in fresh state similar
to canned fruit, and when opened,
if properly cared for, will be In as
fresh and juicy state as when put
up.
I'm. feeding the silage out the top
is always fed off to prevent fermen'
tation. and the doors enable this to
be done with little difficulty.
'The cost of silo built OF rein
forced comment, of such dimensions
as Indicated, is less than $500, when
the farmer donates his own labor.
"Silage is a toothsome dish to stock
of all kinds, but is generally served
to the dairy cows. 1t is an ideal
winter feed for them"
Mr.. Riser thinks when once start
ed silos will be as common in North
Dakota as any. Of the older states.
With proper feed, such as silage, there
is no reason why every farmer should
not have from ten to forty dairy cows
and have something to depend upon
for sustenance. when the wheat crop
fails.
The experiments up at Grafton will
he watched with much interest by the
farmers in all sections of the state.
Commissioner Flint is an enthusiast
on the subject of butter interests and
he is going to test out the silo ques-
ton to it's fullest limit.

RAILWAY RUMbLINGS BEFORE
The EQUALIZATION BOARD

While the assessemnt lists from
ten or twelve counties are still out
and Little can be done in equalizing
appraiss ments in the different cOun-
ties, the State Board of Equalization
got down to work this morning.
Many of the county officers are
here to appear before the board, and
those WHO can have been asked to re-
main until the delinquent returns ar
rive.
There was a full board present to-
day, Attorney General Miller arriving
home last night from up state, where
he had been prosecuting murder cases.
The first person to appear before
the equalizing board was Mr.. Reed,
of Langdon. He addressed himself
to the high appraisement Of city and
village lots in Cavalier county. Mr..
Reed explained that by reason OF the
loss of the Langdon school building
by fire it was necessary to raise the
appraisement of lots in Langdon 300
per cent to eagilze bond sale. Mr..
Reed asked to have the appraisement
stand.
The appraisement of property in Lo-
gan county in 1910 was 1882 on the
800 valuation, and the chairman Of
the board of county commissioners
was present and urged a reduction OF
the appraisement. He explained that
there are no incorporated towns or
villages in the county.
Mcintosh officers were present to
urge a reduction of the 1910 assess
ment which was $3.4S. An effort was
made to have the assessment reduced
to 1902 as fixed for this year.
l. The; balance of the morning ses-
sion was devoted to oratory, three
bright railway attorneys occupying
the boards attention. The roads rep
resented by counsel were the Great
Northern, 500, Milwaukee, Northern
Pacific and Puget Sound.
All the legal gentlemen had hard
luck stories about small earnings for
the railroads in North Dakota during
the year 1910, but only in one or two
instances was a lower appraisement
asked under 1910, and these were con-
fined to branches in obscure portions
of the state. -,
The Milwaukee representative
asked a reduction on all the lines on
account Of losses last year. The board
hears these stories each year and
takes them for what they are worth.
The state board of equalization met
late yesterday afternoon, took the
oath and organized for the work of
the thirtyday session. Gov. Burke
is president Of the board, and Auditor
Brightbill, secretary. 1t was decided
to not appoint regular stenographer
at this time. leaving the matter In the
hands Of the secretary. All the mem
bers were present except Attorney
General Miller:
Owing to the fact that the reports
of the assessment from a number OF
counties are not yet in it was de-
cided to proceed with the appraise-
ment of corporations. The railroads
are being assessed today.
There being little to come before
the board this afternoon an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow at 10
o'clock and a meeting of the state
auditing committee was held. Auditor
'Brightbill explained that there are
many outstanding claims to be acted
upon and as the auditing committee
is composed of members of the equal
ization board it was necessary to ad-
journ the one to accommodate the

Expect Bloodless War.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-From present ap.
pesrsnces the Turkish. Italian war
promises to be the shortest and most
bloodless war in history. Thus far
its distinguishing characteristic has
been the absence OF fighting, and with
Germany acting as peacemaker it may
end before fighting takes place.
1t is concluded that no mediation
will be accepted by Italy until she
has accomplished the military occu'
patton of the Tripoli coast. Ate,
that. negotiations will be much easier
and are not unlikely to be c
full If Turkey will accept a money in
demnity for allowing Italy to estab'
lish herself in Tripoli as great Bri

Taft Favors Leasing Plan.

DENVER, Oct. 3.-In q speech to the
public lands convention here today
President Taft finally disagreed with
the sentiment Of that convention in re-
gard to the leasing of public lands by
the federal government, expressed in
resolutions adopted yesterday. The
president declared that the west needed
capital to develop its public lands and
said that only through a federal leas.
ing system, could such capital be in.
duced to come west.
The president spoke in the auditor
ium, built to hold more than eleven
thousand persons and few seats were
vacant. Ia spite of his disagreement
with the views expressed by the con.
v%ention, the president was we'll re-
ceived. When he made some Of his
points against the proposal of the
convention that either public lands be
disposed of to individuals or else
placed under the care of separate
states, the crowd applauded vigorous
ly and when he concluded the cheering
was long and loud.
MI. Taft admitted that In the old
days public land had been grabbed in
many instances by corporations and
cont atoms and declared that to
prevent q repetition of such grabbing
was the work of the present and future.
While the west, be said, might fret
under a system that seemed slow in
the end, it would prove the best.
