RAILROADS CAN CHARGE MORE
THAN ACTUAL COST FOR
Il SERVICE

Washington, Nov. 14.-The long stub
bornly fought. contest over the power
of the interstate commerce commission
to prohibit railroads from paying to 90
orators Of elevators all commission for
"elevating grain in transit" was finally
decided today when the United States
supreme court held tn commission pos
sessed no such power.
The decision was necessitated by the
commission in 1903 issuing an order ex-
ercising this power and by the United
States circuit court for the western Mis-
souri,, subsequently holding the order
null and void because beyond the au-
sthority of the commission to issue. The
supreme court held that the order of
the commission reducing the allowance
for elevation to the cost of the service,
namely three-fourths Of one cent, should
be allowed to stand The court also al
lowed to stand the so-called Peavey or
DIRE Of 1909 in sa far as it confined the al
.lowance to grain re-shipped within ten
days.
Except as to these two points the de-
cree Of the United States circuit court
for the Western Missouri district in re-
gard to the elevation charges was affirm
ed. Associate Justice McKenna and
Hughes dissented.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
\ ROOM FULL OF GOLD.
BY A. w. MACY.

Plxarro, the conqueror Of Mex
leo, heard that In the valley Of
caxamalca were immense treas
ures Of gold and silver. So on
September 20, 1882, he set out
In search Of them. Arriving at
the town Of caxamaIca, he sent
for AtahuaIpa, chief lord
among the natives. Fearing for
his life, AtahuaIpa promised
Pizarro a great quantity Of
gold and silver. "How much?"
asked Pizarro. g, will give"
replied Atahua'pa, "eoid enough
to fill room % feet long and
II feet wide, and tho height
will be once and half mans
stature" He also promised
enough silver to fill chamber
twice over, besides many go!-
den pots and jars, and to do it
all In two months. He kept his
+: promise. The precious metals
. came, sometimes 10000 pesos,
and sometimes $4,000 or 10000
pesos Of gold a day. Pizarro
had the vessels and plate melt
ed down and counted, and it is
estimated the total value was
$17,5o0,000 Of our money. OF
this PIzarro had his share Of
100000 pesos Of gold and $4,000
Of silver. A fifth Of the whole
was set apart for the Spanish
king, and the rest was divided
among Plzarro's friends and
followers.

MOVE TO CAVALIER ON DEC. Is

Pembina, N. D., Nov. 1,.4Last week,
Immediately on hearing the news that
the court had decided the county seat
case for Cavalier the county board re-
turned from their trip looking after
bridge sites and held a meeting at which
time they fixed Dec. Is as the day on
which the county seat should be at Cav
alier and the sheriff was given written
printed notices to post at each voting
precinct in the county according to law.
Attorneys Laxdahl and George Bangs
were here to Sc tehat the legal formali-
ties were duly carried out. The board
also went over to Cavalier immediately
after their adjournment here to look
over the ground there and make prepar-
ations for the removal. 1t is understood
that among the first things to do will be
to build temporary vault for the stor-
age of the county records. 1t will prob
ably take at least a year from this time
before a new courthouse can be made
ready for occupancy, and meantime such
temporary quarters as may be had will
be necessary for the transaction of public
business. This in itself will be quite an
item Of expense to the county.
