Hartman LINES
ADOPT Unit SYSTEM

When Judge Robert s. Lovett, chair
man of the executive committee of the
Hartman lines, left San Francisco
last night he had completed the final
dissolution of long standing agree
ments between the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and Oregon Washington Railroad and
Navigation companies and had salts
fed himself as to the successful opera
tion of the new unit system of opera
tion on the four roads mentioned, says
the Chronicle
This unit system, by which each
railroad of the four mentioned now
operates over every inch of its own
mileage, was established as an expert
ment last spring by the Hartman
lines, and their successful mainten-
ance affords grounds for the merger
agreement in the event that the pend
ing appeal before the United States
supreme court in the government 3
efforts to declare the Union and South
ern Pacific q combination in restraint
of trade should result in reversal of
the circuit court of appeals Judgment,
which was in favor of the transpOrta-
tion system.
The inspection of the working of the
new operating units of the four roads
was the main object of Judge oLvett 8
western trip. year ago-up to
few days before the circuit court of ap-
peals decision in the antitrust action
was announced-the four railroads
were operating on a territorial basis,
established by the late Edward II.
Hartman. At that time the Short
Line extended from Huntington, Ore
gon, to Ogden and Salt Lake, thence to
Butte. The Southern Pacific s terri
tory from Sparks, Nevada, to Ogden,
Utah, was being operated by the Ore
gon Short Line, as was the Union Pa
citic traekage between Green l.iver,
Wyoming, and Ogden. The Oregon
| Washington Railroad and Navigation
company was operating the Southern
/ Pacific IS territory from Ashland to
Portland. As a result the Southern
Pacific s system extended north only
as far as Ashland and east as far as
Sparks.
Suit Stopped Progress
The government IS suit to have the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific de-
clared railroad trust on the ground
that the combination operated parallel
lines greatly to competitors disad-
vantage, was then pending, and to
forestall a possible decision disadvan-
Itageous to the lines Lovett organized
a new unit system by which the South
ern Pacific regained its Sparks-Ogden
and Ashland-P Portland territory and
the Union Pacific its Green River
Ogden territory, thus depriving the
Oregon Short Line of considerable
operating mileage, but restoring to
each company its individual trackage.
The step was taken primarily with the
intention of proving to the govern
ment that the agreement beween the
four lines was purely one of convent
ence and in no manner constituted a
merger. Then came the circuit court 8
decision declaring the lines were not
merged. The government appealed,
but to be on tn esafe side Loett de-
sired the new unit system of operating
to be permanent.

The coal dealers are calling the
attention of their patrons to the
advisability of getting in early
orders for coal. The big grain
crop is certain to make conges-
ton of traffic and shortage of car
service, which is likely to make
the transportation question an
important one, and the situation
at the mines is such that it is
questionable if late orders can be
filed with any promptness or
without great delay. In the most
favorable years it is good plan
to order coal early, and with the
conditions this year prevailing it
will certainly be a wise proceed
ure.

He was a member of the Masons,

Three Days Celebration.
September 26.27-9S are the Dates Of
the Milbank Harvest Carnival

Now that splendid crop has
been assured Grant county the
commercial club of Milbank has
already commenced to make ar
rangements for one of the big.
gest fairs and harvest festivals
we have ever had-and we have
had some splendid celebrations
of this character in past years.
A list of premiums is being
gotten up and valuable prizes will
be given for the best exhibits in
grains, grasses, fruits, vegeta
bles, and everything raised on
the farm or misunderstanding
live stock. Entries will be re-
ceived of any Grant or Roberts
county products. Special prizes
will be given for township dis
plays, and it has been suggested
that township officers or others
select committee in each
township to arrange display on
wagon or in a booth, as was done
in the 1907 carnival.
In addition to the display of
agricultural products, a series
of sporting events will take place,
ball games and other attractions,
and for one or more of the days a
birdman will be secured to make
flights in an aeroplane. This will
be something new to many people
in this locality, and will prove an
interesting event to all.
A more detailed summary of
the interesting events of the car
nival VIII be published later.
Any information in regard to
the exhibits may be secured
from A. A. Blomquist, secretary
of the Commercial club, and a
full list Of the premiums to be
provided later.

Serious Accident.
TwO-Year.Old Boy Falls from Second
Story Window and Snstains a
Broken Leg.

While playing in a room on the
second floor of the City hotel last
Sunday afternoon, two children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Dwell,
ages 2 and 4, accidently pushed
the screen out and fell out on the
cement sidewalk, the youngest,
a boy, falling first and the little
girl falling a second later. Mr.
Harry Pawson who had just pas
sed by heard the children fall and
immediately ran back and carried
the little ones into the hotel, and
when the father and mother ar.
rived on the scene moment later
DR.. Flett was called. He found
the little boy had a compound
fracture of the left thigh and at
once set the same. The little
girl was found to he but slightly
bruised. AS Mr.. Dwell is the
proprietor of the Duvell-Deerine
shows he was obliged to go with
the shows to Waubay on Monday
morning, while Mrs. Dwell re
manned with the children until
the afternoon. When they left
the city the little patient was
resting nicely and the doctor in
forms us that if nothing serious
sets in, the little boy will room be

Advertising the Farm

Far N advertising is one of the
most profitable lines of work in
which the farmers can engage.
There are large numbers of ways
to advertise the farm. Leading
among these is the farm name
aud the farm stationery. The

to put up some mighty attractive
stationery that will mean q great
deal to the farm and the farmer

blem of success.

1t has been known for some
time that the Grant County News
stockholders and directors were
not in accord and it was only a
question of time when there
would be changes in the paper
It's rumored that Mr.. Smull had
an employment and stock con-
tract with the paper for five years
and the largest stockholders
which are officers of the Bank
Of Twin Brooks did not agree
with him in the management
of the paper The news has a
large capitalization and it has
never been paying proposition.
Mr.. Smull forced the directors
to take action so he could lay the
foundation for a claim against
the company for breaking his
contract. The directors met
Wednesday and elected Geo. Fos
burgh. who has been foreman,
as manager. 1t is understood
that considerable litigation will
grow ou tofthechange. Mr.. Smul
has been manager and stock
holder for the past five years.
He has not announced his plans
for the future but will no doubt
continue to reside in Milbank
and engage in some business.
