DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
& GIVES RAILROAD coMMis-
SIoNERs FULL POWER
COMMISSIONERS NOT ONLY HAVE
# SUPERVISORY CONTROL BUT
&. JUDICIAL AS WE'LL.

& Inc supreme court handed down
decision last week which is Of com
siderable importance SO far as the far
mers and grain growers Of the state
are concerned, for it gives the board
OF railroad commissioners sweeping
powers in the matter of protecting
the farmers from fraud and oppres-
sion in the grain trade, by permitting
the board to Investigate and examine
into the business methods Of surety
companies furnishing bonds for the
two thousand elevators in the state,
and arbitrarily cancelling these bonds
and requiring new ones to be given,
whenever in the boards opinion, the
bonds are not absolutely safe for their
full face.s II. 81;
T The litigation in which the decision
was rendered, grew out of an attempt
on the part of the railroad commits
sioners, acting under a recent law,
whose passage was secured on their
recommendation, ss authorizing, them
ito investigate all complaints of fraud
or oppression in the grain trade and
correct the same whenever in their
power to do so,' to protect a number
of farmers near Turtle Lake from loss
by reason of the insolvency. Of an ele-
sYator man there named Samuel Kitt-
Ter zg 81. t$ rs ss$
Stood to Lose Money.
S3{ hen Kittler failed he owed about
~. 900 on storage tickets for grain
sold him by the farmers. These tick
cts. were for small amounts distribut-
ed among "a dozen or so farmers who,
If the railroad commission had not ax-
acted a bond from Kittler to secure
these tickets would have lost every
thing. AS It was they stood to lose,
half, because the Dakota Trust com
Epany, which had furnished Kittler's
bond, being suspicious that Kittler
had given the farmers better grades
for their grain than he should have,
refused to pay them more than fifty
cents on the dollar of their claim,
and they, rather than lose it all fight
ing big surety company, accepted set
dement's on these terms ;@
When the railroad commissioners
found this out they made an investi-
CATION, going to Turtle Lake and
taking the testimony Of all these
farmers under oath, and thereupon
ordered the Dakota Trust company to
go back and pay the other fifty cents
on the dollar, and when the trust
company refused to do SO, the com
mission threatened to cancel the forty
odd other bonds the company had filed
with the commission, and then the.
Dakota Trust company brought an ac-
tion before Judge Winchester at
Bismarck, to prohibit the commission
from cancelling these bonds.
The result Of the action being as
given above. ss355

NEW DREDGER
 IN NEW SECTION
oroat Area of Low Grade Ground to be Worked by
 Dred9ers

It is reported that arrange ments have been concluded for the shipment of a dredge this season into the Tuluksak coun- try, where some very promising ground has been secured on Bear creek. The Kuskokwim Commer- clal company are the only known parties behind the venture, but it is understood they are backed by foreign capital, a generous sum of which has been secured on the strength of the shOwings in the new region.
 It is expected that the machin- cry will arrive in Iditarod this summer and that operations will be begun before the close of nav igation.
 Quite number of IdilarOd people have ground on numer- OuS of the creeks in the Tuluk- sak country, and it is thought that installation of a dredgc on Bear creek will stimulate mining throughout that region tu the extent that the value of their holdings will De materially ad-- Nanced.
