"Pelagic sealing through its slaughter
Of females has been the sole cause of the
decline of the fur seal herd: it's aboli-
ton. as demonstrated by the experience Of
the past season. is an adequate remedy
for its decline. Land killing. confined to
the superfiuous males. has not. and can
not under the law, endanger the life Of
the herd. Suspension of land killing can
do only harm to the herd and to the sub
sidiary life upon the islands. 1t carries
with it a large economic waste and finan-
cial loss. not merely to the United States.
but to the treaty nations. besides depriv-
ing mankind of a commodity of comfort
and utility. The suspension carries no
compromising advantages. Therefore we
protest most earnestly against the en-
forcement of this provision of the law Of
1912 and urge its immediate repeal

More Of Victory Than Vas
Hoped For 10 the
Courts
Rumorsd That Move Is Yelled
Fight Against Government
Ownership

Washington, Dec 20.-Attorney
General McCreynolds, told his friends
that scores of independent telephone
companies in the United States we're
gratified with the agreement Of the
so-called telephone trust made with
the department of justice, which give
them the use of thousands of miles
Of trunk lines operated by the Bell
company.
The department, he said, hardly ex-
pected any court to order the Bell
to allow the independents to make
use Of the Bell equipment and there
was practically no chance for the in
dependents to raise sufficient funds,
If they had the desire, to build COM
peting long distance lines.
The announcement of the agreement
caused an unusual buzz of specula.
ton. In some quarters it was regard.
ed as an indication of a fight of some
conservative members of the presi-
dents cabinet to make against the
government ownership Of public utili-
ties. 1t is known that McCreynOlds is
opposed to government ownership. 1t
is said that the feeling is that it is
likely to come in the United States
unless there can be a restoration of
free competition in public service.
Mr.. McReynolds believes an agree
ment with the American Telegraph
and Telephone company is a long step
towards the return to competition in
the telephone and telegraph field.

He told Of never before being in

Of Wlshek Passenger
Train
500 Officials Declared Service
Vas Continual Loss
to Road
Investigation ills Said shsx-
ed Imperative Need Of
Territory
Commission Decided Mixed
Train Could Not Meet
Necessity

The 500 road must maintain a pas
senger train to Wishek.
The state railroad commission yes
terday denied the petition Of the rail-
road to substitute a mixed train for
the present passenger service.
In its petition the road stated that
the passenger train was being 0per-
ated at a loss and had been so since
its installation. Had there been no
other consideration the commission
declared they would lhave granted
the request of the road but after q
thorough investigation of conditions IN
the territory affected the commission
decided that the need for q passenger
train was imperative. hence the de-
cision.
Following is the ruling OF the COM
mission in full:
BEFORE THE BOARD OF RAIL.
ROAD COMMISSIONERS or. THE
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA.
File No. 526.
In the matter of the petition Of the
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie railway company for the remov-
al of passenger trains running be-
tween Bismarck and Wishek.
This is a petition by the Minnea-
polls, ST. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie
Railway company for permission to
withdraw its passenger trains between
Bismarck and Wishek, and substitute
therefor a mixed train service similar
to that in operation prior to the in
stallation of the daily passenger train
service put into effect April Is, 1913,
the railway company %contending that
the experiment OF operating daily pas
senger trains over that division of
its lines was not a financial success,
and resulted in a substantial loss to
the company by reason of the INSULT
cheney of passenger fares to pay the
operating expenses of the trains.
The evidence produced by the pc
titioner itself indicated that thse pas
senger trains are operated at a loss
and were the commission to consider
that fact merely the petition would sun.
questionably be granted. However,
a consideration of the further evi.
dence in the "a convinces the com
mission that it, would be unfair to the
territory through which these trains
are operated to deprive the petitioners
of the right of such service. While
it is true that this section Of the
state has developed slowly, and the
passenger traffic is not as substantial
as one might wish for, yet there are
several flourishing communities along
the line of the road which would be
seriously hampered in their growth
and the patrons of the road would be
greatly inconvenienced If the service
were discontinued, and the commits
sion feels that a fair consideration for
the rights of the people Of this terri
tory requires that the present service
be maintained. II
Wherefore it is ordered that the
prayer of the petition be denied.
Dated this 10Th day Of December,
1913.
The Board of Railroad Commissioners.
