REDUCTION ]
FAVO|I|I|l|', |, Il the
Twin CITIES !.
New Freight Tariffs Favor
Twin City Shippers
Discrimination Shown in Local
Rate From Twin Cities
Cheaper to Ship to Moorhead
and Haul Across River

The voluntary reduction Of the
freight tariff between Fargo, Moorhead
and the twin cities on the part of the
railroads, which became effective to-
day, has been found to be more of a
bugbear than it: first appeared for in
the reduction it shows equally as
much of a. discrimination against the
Fargo wholesalers, if not more so, than
before.
A number Of tariffs pertaining to
twine and machinery, canned goods.
coal, etc, which, particularly affect the
Fargo wholesalers, ares discriminatory
in tayor of the twin city wholesale
houses.
TO such an extent do these tariffs
show a discrimination. in favor of the
and ST. Baul wholesalers
salers to have their consignments
shipped only as far as Moorhead and
hauled across the river to their Te-
spective plants by dray.
Complaint has been heard about
this from many sources in Fargo.
Traffic Secretary Gibbs of the Fargo
Commercial club has had the matter
Ender consideration for several days.
He has brought the new freight tariffs
merce commission with the hope that
it will be righted in due season.
What the Rates Are.
The old Fargo rate on twine and
machinery was 27 cents per car lot.
rate on tWine is 265s cents per car lot.
The new local rate is 1914 cents.
The new rates which became effec-
tive today show a voluntary reduction
of " cent on the Fargo tariff. This
shows a great discrimination in favor
of the Minneapolis and st. Paul whole
sale houses.
The twin city wholesalers will be
able to ship in less than car lots and
Fargo wholesale house gets a reduc-
.tion Of VI cent s
Cheaper to Moorhead.
II is cheaper to Moorhead by the
new tariff, or this voluntary reduction
of the railroads.
The Moorhead rate ON car lots is
now 24.4 while the local rate is 36.1.
On a. carload of twine weighing 40,-
900 pounds, the freight to Moorhead is
$3.50 less than to Fargo
u This makes 1t cheaper for the Fargo
wholesalers to have their goods ship
ped to Muorhead and hauled across to
Fargo by dray than to ship Ii directly
TO this side OF the river
Other Excessive Tariffs.
Traffic Secretary Gibbs today said
that not only does this apply to twfne
and machinery. Many other commod-
tiles are affected in the Same way.
On canned goods he said the tarifY
to Fargo is 23.5 cents while to Moor
head 1t isg 2I.7 cents, which lis a diff
ference OF Ill cents. On d shipment

farm Teachers Are Wanted.

If properly qualified men could be
found ten counties OF this state will
employ travelling teachers of better
farming methods before the year
closes
This fact was developed at a meet
ing OF the executive committee of the
university board of regents in Madi-
son when Frank G. Swoboda Of Dous-
man was appointed agricultural repre-
sentative for Langlade county.
Mr. Swoboda was formerly superin-
tendent of the Wisconsin Home School
for Boys at Dousman and graduated
from the Wisconsin University College
of Agriculture in 1908. In Langlade
county his work will be in cooperation
with Superintendent of Schools A. M.
AYeson, the teachers of that county,
aud with X. L. Hatch, chief Of the ag-
ricultural extension service and state
leader of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Already the board of Oneida. Price,
Barron and Eau Claire counties have
county demonstrators at work among
their farmers advising on the handling
of their soils, the management of
their herds, and in every way possible
helping to increase farm profits.
These itinerant agricultural teachers
are officially known as county repre-
sentatives of the College of Agricul-
ture of the University OF Wisconsin
and are employed by this institution
and the respective county boards.
The last legislature made it possible
for ten agricultural representatives to
be employed in Wisconsin prior to jan
uary /, 1914, and also made provi-
sion for the establishment of this re-
lationship with six other counties the
next year. The first county represen-
tatiye to be employed in America was
F. L. Luther, who, in 1911, was en-
gagged to cooperate with the settlers

the system has been quite generally
adopted in many states and the move
ment has gained in popularity.

nois Central Railway companies noti-
fed the state industrial commission
of their determination not to come
under the state workmen's compensa-
ton law. The only big railroad com
pany under the law is the 800"
The principal reason why all of the
large companies do not come under
the compensation law, it Is under
stood, is because they believe it will
cost them less to remain outside it.
Companies that come under the law
are required to carry liability insur-
ance, unless especially exempted by
the industrial commission. The rates
of insurance for railroad men is high
and unless they were exempted it
would cost railroad companies a large
sum annually to carry the necessary
insurance.

Captain Johnston is of the opinion
that the quantity of ice brought down
in the spring is in direct proportion to
the severity of the winter preceding.
The severity of the winters in the
north Atlantic states, he says, depends
upon the prevalence of strong north
winds having their origin on the Lab
rador coast, Similarly it is these same
winds which start southwark the great
masses of ice broken off from glaciers
which appear in the steamship tracks
as icebergs. Therefore the ice danger
in the steamship lanes is always great
est after the most severe winters ano
less as the preceding winter has been
mild.
Ground on Banks.
Many of the icebergs in the SOUTH
ward drift become grounded on the
Grand Banks and do not constitute any
serious menace to the transatlantic
liners. 1t is those which continue south
parallel to and beyond the banks
which threaten the safety of the ocean
steamers; and it was to these that the
attention. Captain Johnston said that
the largest berg that was encountered
was about 400 feet long, 800 feet wide.
20 feet high out of water. The small
est ice which properly could be called
a berg was 225 feet long, 100 feet wide
and So feet out of water
Captain Johnston estimated the rate
of deterioration of icebergs floating in
the Gulf stream as about per cent. a
day He saw many melting so rapidly
that waterfalls were pouring down
from their sides while others in the
advanced stages of dissolution turned
over daily as rapid melting shifted the
center Of gravity. Sometimes icebergs
were found literally covered with sea
birds. OF the score of varieties of sea
birds found on or near icebergs Cap
tain Johnston concludes that the pres
ence of none but the murre, bird
common in northern ATTITUDES, can be
safely regarded as an indication of ice
in the vicinity.
Perhaps Captain Johnstons most
valuable contribution is that referring
to the visibility and means Of detect
ing the presence of ice and icebergs.
After three months of repeated OBJ
.servations and experiments, together
with the results of his experience in
other arctic regions, Captain Johnston
concludes that there Is no certain
method of detecting the presence OF
ice other than that of sharp lookout:
that in fog, or especially dark nights.
it is absolutely incumbent upon the
commander of any fast liner to run
very slowly and keep an extra vigilant
watch

To Display Live Stock.

Arguing that the unsurpassed agri-
cultural resources of Wisconsin will
not be suitably represented at the
worlds fair to be held in San Fran
cisco in 1915 unless a liberal show
ing be made of it's studs, herds and
focks, d. o. Lively, chief of the de-
partment of live stock of the exposi-
ton, has urged Dean H. L. Russell
of the Wisconsin college of agricul-
ture to ask that a liberal amount of
! the states appropriation for this ex-
position be used in making a suitable
display of Wisconsin's live stock prod
ucts
AS the members of the Wisconsin
commission at the Panama-Pacific ex
position have but recently been ap-
! pointed, no definite plans have been
made, but it is anticipated that the
precedent established by the states
commission in 1904 at the Worlds
fair in ST. Louis will be followed. At

High Schools Entitled to State Aid.

High schools in Wisconsin main.
tanning courses in stenography, type
writing and bookkeeping in conform
ity with the requirements of the state
department of education are entitled
to state aid to the amount of one-half
the cost of maintenance of such
courses, but not to exceed $3.50, indie"
pendently of the requirements and
conditions relating to the maintenance
of courses in domestic science and
agriculture
Such is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Owen, given to State Superin-
tendent Cary.
. The law provides that high schools
maintaining courses in domestic sci
ence or agriculture may receive state
aid to the amount of one7half the
cost of such courses, but not to 'ex-
coed $3.50. or, If the school maintains
such courses in the three grades next
below the high school, the aid may be
$3.50 There was some misunder-
standing as to whether the act pro-
viding for aid for courses in stenog-
raphy, typewriting and bookkeeping
were or were not independent of the
law providing for the domestic sci
ence or agricultural courses. The at
torney general holds that they are.
Under this ruling 1t Is possible for
schools to secure $500 state aid by
maintaining the courses prescribed.
