Gently installed by the Great North

commission will open the rate hear

made, for repairs: or for other pur'

Up to some months ago a reduced
rate was in force on all the railways
operating in the west, but the lines
operating in North Dakota arbitrarily
put the full rate in force and the rail-
way commission is petitioned by the
farmers and manufacturers to enforce
the reduced charge: The hearing at

Special Sacred Song Service for
Thursday Has Been Planned to
Which All Are Welcome.
The Musical Blizzard" given at the
Salvation Army hall Tuesday night by
Captain and Mrs. MINES, ably as
sisted by the Johnson sisters, Mrs.
Snow, Miss Sears and Mrs. Woost,
was great success. Lieutenant
Marshall, who acted as chairman for
the occasion, did splendidly, not only
in the act of being chairman but also
in the various vocal selections which
he rendered. The hall was crowded
and extra seats had to be obtained to
accommodate those who were 80 un-
fortunate as to come in late, and even
then a number had to stand, but nev-
ertheless seemed to think it worth
while, beside large crowd had gath
cred outside.
The program was opened by song.
which was familiar to all, after which
was the invocation offered by Captain
Johnson. Scripture was read and then
few remarks by the chairman was
made and the blizzard was in full
blast and didn't let down till. late
hour.
Captain Minnes was in usual good
humor last night and Irish wit was
prevalent throughout the evening. 1t
was enjoyed by all and some of the
remarks made as the people parted
was that they had paid as high as
fifty cents and. dollar and did not
get as good. Yesterday morning the
captain mae a trip up and down the
alleys gathering all the tin cans that
he could find and then after asserting
them found the scale and last night
gave some wonderful exhibitions of
what could be done with discarded
tin cans.
The classical selections rendered by
Mrs. MINES and also the various

readings were enjoyed by all and were
applauded heartily and showed that
she was singer of more than ordi-
nary ability. The string band selec-
ton and the sweet potato selections
were more than heartily applauded,
as we'll as the duets rendered by the
Johnson sisters.
Thursday evening there will be d
special sacred song service given by
Captain and Mrs. MINES and Lieuten-
ant Marshall, ably assisted by the
Johnson sisters, as this will be the
last night that Captain and Mrs.
MINES will be with us. A silver Of

portunity to make their showing. The
commission has much data on the sub.
ject gathered by Mr.. Little, which
will be introduced. The railway
commissioners of all adjoining states
were met with the same problems and
in each instance the reduced rate was
restored.
The railways will be represented by
their attorneys, the shippers by their
agents, and the farmers will have
their say through selected spokesman.
The matter is one of the most I'M
portant coming before the commission
in a long time and the outcome Is
awaited with interest.
The matter was taken before the
interstate commerce commission by
the shippers of the northwest at the
time the full freight rate was put In
operation, but owing to the fact that
all the states but North Dakota have
already acted through their railway
commissions the national body has
rendered no decision. The hearing
may last couple Of days.

AUGUST QUIET FOR POLICE
August was quiet month in police
circles, no serious cases being report.
ed and no arrests were made except
on minor offenses. The biggest SEN
tence given any one person was the
one drawn by Oliver, the restaurant

There were six arrests on drunk
and disorderly charges and five of
them were given fines. Ten men were
arrested on general suspicion and run

b noted that through southwestern
Nebraska and northwestern Kansas
this broken line 10 practically ooinoi-
dent with the line Of 20 inches annual
rainfall. In other words. IL inches ol
rainfall In Montana or Dakota are
equivalent to 40 inches Of rainfall In
southwestern Nebraska or western
Kansas. In southwestern Kansas,
eastern Oklahoma and In Texas this
line lies wholly to the east of the line
representing 20 inches annual rainfall.
Throughout this latter section, then,
more than 20 inches of rainfall would
be required In order to be eqivalent to
10 inches Of rainfall along the Cana,
dian boundary. These lines OF equiv.
alent rainfall have been established
from consideration Of the distribu-
ton OF the short grass through the
Great Plains and from a study Of the

be considered as only approximate,
but they serve to emphasize the great
