To do away with extortionate prices

that beds shall not cost over so cents
per person. 1t also planned to main
tain the price Of meals down to the
thirty-ive cent rate, especially by the
churches and restaurants. The church
es Of Huron will serve meals on the
streets. All eating places will be re-
CURED to post prices In plain view.
The club will also have an informa-
ton office on the State Fair grounds.
where visitors may secur rooming
places for the night The large safety
vault In the clubs downtown quarters
will be used to check the valuables Of
visitors. Parcels, grips. etc.. may be
checked in the office.
Reservations for rooms may be made
as early as Aug. 1, and requests for
reservation should state when rooms
will be needed and for how long.
The price for auto storage will not
be over 81 for each twenty-four hours.
Local garages will have ready plenty Of
auto storage oOm for all visitors. Posi-
lively no extra or extortionate charge
will be made for gas, oil or other auto
mobile accessories. The main streets

tween y q. M. and y p. m. TranSpOrta-
ton to and from the grounds will cost
10 cents for carry-alls and Is cents for

In five rooms Of what 1t was before
the burning of the Kent House. There
are guaranteed sleeping and eating
places for the largest crowd that ever
f1ocked into Huron at one time. The
club has had a special
at work on the proposition
since April 1, and nothing has been
overlooked to provide comfort for
State Fair visitors. The streets are

evening in regard 10 compromise OF
pending legislation, failed to accom-
rlish anything, as the attorneys for
the road were not in a position to con-
cede many OF the demands OF the state
for such a compromise. They agreed
as a general proposition to put a two
and a half cent passenger ate into
effect in this state, but hat on an
agreement on the part Of the state that
all litigation either in regard TO pas
senger or freight rates be dropped.
This the state officers declined to con-
slider and the conference was at an
end.
On account of the physical condi-
ton OF A. K. Gardner the attorney for
the Northwestern Railway in this state
and an order OF the part of his physi.
clans that he must take a rest, the rail-
ways asked for extension of time for
the court hearing, and the state law
officers conceded to not later han the
eighth of September, provided Judge
Willard is willing to make that change
in the date of hearing.
While in general terms the situation
in regard to the attempted rate com
promise was one of refusal on the part
of the roads to make any freight allow
ances, as a matter of fact they did
agree to adjudicate several individual
cases now pending before the inter
state commerce commission, in which
the state commission feels that they
Will win regardless of any action on
the part Of the roads, but they refused
TO consider any general freight reduc-
ton, or the putting into effect of rates
west of the Missouri river which would
put that part of the state on the same
basis as the eastern portion. They
were as a matter of fact ready to con.
cede noR-essentials, and matters which
they were not certain of, but abso-
lutely declined to concede any general
freight changes. This lea a con-
test in the courts, and one which the
state officials claim is in direct line |
with the decision of the supreme court !
in the Minnesota case, and one which
they feel certain of winning.-Pierre

DON'T BLAME THE FARMER

An eastern editor says the high cost
of living may be largely laid at the
door Of the farmer. Let us see about
this in relation to n single item of
consumption, that of pork. Charles
Mix county farmers raise thousands of
hogs and they are now bringing a
good price, say So per hundred pounds
on our local market. A hog that will
weigh 800 pounds will then bring the
producer $24. The hog goes to the
packing house and later the prepared
products brought back for. sale,
and we have been told that all the
waste to a hog at the packing house is
the "squeal." We asked our butcher
Monday the price of bacon and he told
us 32 cents per pound, ham 80 cents
per pound and other pork products in
proportion, but allowing for waste let
Is call the entire cured product Of
this hog at 20 cents per pound and we
have $50, and the difference between
$24 and $50 in $50, which someone
else gets for freight, commission, cur
ing and retailing the product to the
consumer. 1t Is not the farmer after
all who is responsible for the high
price Of meat products. Allowing fifty
pounds for waste, which leaves the
meat product of this hog 250 pounds,
and If retailed for bacon or ham would
leave a balance of Ss5 after the So per
hundred pounds had been paid the
farmer.-Geddes News.
