As far as the A. & N. M. is concerned taking the distance between Duncan and Clifton as an example, the propos- nd rates of the commission would be higher than those now in effect. For instance, the rate from Duncan to Clifton on a carload of cattle is S11.
 Under the rate proposed by the con- mission for this distance the new rate would be $17.60 an increase of $6.60 per car or more than 50 per cent. The rate on carload of hogs from Duncan to Clifton at present is $15.00. Under the new tariff proposed by the commission, the rate would be $1S.4O.

SURRENDER
PERMITS
DRUG STORES HEREAFTER WILL
CARRY NO INTOXICATING LIQ-
UoR IN sTock-cANNoT EVEN
GET IT ON PRESCRIPTION,

Six Minot drug stores surrendered
their permits Saturday, midnight see
ing the last Of the Intoxicating liquor
sold. There Is but one drug store in
the county that still retains its per-
nit that one being located at Donny-
brook, and this permit will run out in
September.
The Independent has been informed
that none OF the drug stores will keep
any liquor in stock in any form, SO it
will be hardly possible to secure any,
even by a physicians prescription.
There are frequent instances where al
cohol is needed badly in the treatment
of various diseases, and just how the
new arrangement is going to work out,
is problematical The Independent is
given to understand by number of
druggists, that under no circumstances
will they handle any form of intoxicat-
ing liquor, as under the prevailing con-
ditions, they deem it safest not to have
an ounce in stock
One of the druggists who has been
in business here for many years said
to an Independent representatives: II
am glad that the change has come.
The Minot drug stores have been
blamed for a great many things wrong
fully, and I predict that the people will
i've to learn that the druggists have
not been to blame for conditions that
prevailed as much as they thought"

months speaking tour of America. He
arrived in Minot from Great Falls,
Mont where he addressed large
receive for his five months tour in this
country, 100000, a large sum, but it
will all be necessary to pay the expen-
ses Of an expedition which he Is fitting
out, to carry himself and party Of
twelve into the far north where they
will remain for five years making
scientific research. 1t is expected that
the Norwegian government will furnish
large sum and then Amundsen has
several wealthy friends who will con-
tribute.
The explorer will leave on the Fran

trait, and he win push his ship as far
north as possible. He expects the ship
to become surrounded by ice, which ac-
cording to report is drifting continually
towards the north pole. They will take
provisions enough to last five years ana
will make expeditions in various d.
retions from the ship, taking the sound

land which has been sighted, but upon

sen said. ''Our ship 10 built OF the
strongest oak in such q way that al
the ice comes together the ship is forc-
ed upwards, the ship withstanding the
heavy pressure. If the leo should
crush the ship, we expect to divide the
party into three groups when we would
scatter out to secure better hunting
and endeavor to get back to civilization.
Exploring Is my life's work and have
decided to make this hazardous jour-
ney, even tho my life should have to
pay for It.

AN IMMENSE
CROWD HEARD
AMUNDSEN
LISTENED WITH RAPT INTEREST
TO HIS TALE OF THE DIscov-
cry OF THE SOUTH PoLE-Plc-
TuREs PROVED TO BE MOST
ENJOYABLE.

The Sons of Norway, nder whose aus
pices Capt. Roald Amundsen gave his
famous lecture, How Discovered the
South Pole" proved to be successful
advertisers and businessmen, for the
worlds greatest explorer appeared be-
fore . crowd OF 900 at the Armory Mon
day night. The lecture was illustrated
with many interesting lantern slides
aand motion pictures.
Hundreds Of people from all parts of
the Northwest were here to enjoy the
treat Twenty Ave from Towner, twen-
ty from Carpio, and practically every
town was represented by dozen or
more. Williston, Rugby. Drake and
many other towns were all represent
ed.
The picture machine was not the
very best but the lecture was intensely
interesting. Capt. Amundsen held his
audience spellbound as he told how
himself and his little crew left Norway
on the good ship Fran, sailing 10000
miles to Ross Barrier, arriving there
early in January, 1911, afte sailing
nearly five months. 1t was predicted
that the Eskimo dogs could not stand
the trip across the equator, but they
thrived so we'll that altho there were
but ninety some when the ship started,
npou it's arrival there were more. than
a hundred. Pictures were shown of the
hut built on top of the barrier of Ice
and here the party remained until IN
the following october, when the Wea-
ther became milder The thermometer
at times registered 75 and so deErees
below zero and the average during the
warmest season was Is degrees below.
Depots were established at intervals.
Mr.. Amundsen's tale OF the dash to the
pole With his party Of Ave was thrill
ing and as the picture Of the Norwegian
flag placed at the pole was shown,
there was prolonged applause. the
pictures OF the fearless penguins the
dogs pulling the sledges, all proved
to be- most unusual. OF all the dogs
taken on this expedition, but one sur
vived the homeward journey and ar
rived safeiy back in Norway.
Capt. Amundsen described not only
the route he took, but by means OF
man. showed the course taken by Capt.
Scott who discovered the pole later
but who with his party perished on
his return trip when but little more
than Z hundred miles from his base OF
supplies Pictures Of the Fran ano
Capt. SCOTS vessel together IN south
crn waters, were shown.
Capt. Amundsen appeared IN Mino'
five years ago, shortly after his discov-
cry oI the Northwest passage.
Aitho the Sons OF Norway guaran-
teed Capt. Amunrsen $500 for his lee
ture Monday night the undertaking wal
most successful and the local lodge VII

expenses. Besides the people OF this
section Of the state were enabled to en-
Joy a rare treat.

SOME GOOD
P0|S0NS
KILL BEFORE THE SPRING CROP
is soRN-HARD TO USE POISON
AFTER GREEN CROP STARTS.

One should remember that gophers
are hard to poison after green food
comes in plenty. as they will leave the
poisoned dry food for the more succu-
lent growing crops.
How to Mix the "Dope."
Poisoning Is the best method to use
against these pests when they are en-
countered in large numbers The fol-
lowing formula has been tried with
success and Is recommended by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture:
Four ounces powdered strychnia
sulphate, four ounces green coffee, six
ounces alcohol. four eggs (whites only),
one-half gallon thick sugar syrup.
Mix the coffee and whites Of eggs
and let the mixture stand over night.
Add a quart Of cold water to the coffee
egg mixture and stir thoroughly. Strain
into the mixing vessel through sieve
fine enough to hold the coffee, which is
rejected. Add the e-sugar syrup and stir
thoroughly Dissolve the strychnia in
a little less than a quart of boiling
water Pour the alcohol into this So
luton and stir. Then add the mixture
to the contents Of the mixing vessel
and stir thoroughly.
This quantity Of poison is sufficient
for two bushels Of wheat and will be
more than Is needed for any ordinary
conditions These ingredients may be
used in smaller quantities IL the same
proportions are preserved.
After poison is mixed the grain
should be put in perfectly tight ves-
sci and the poison poured over 1t. Stir
very thoroughly until all the grain is
wet, and then slowly stir in sufficient
corn meal to take up the extra mois-
ture.
Another Plan.
Another poison is given by the bio
logical survey, which is as follows:
One ounce strychnia sulphate, one pint
thick sugar syrup; one-half bushel
shelled corn.
Soak the grain and let it stand over
night. Prepare the poison by dissolv-
ing the strychnia sulphate in one pint
of hot, water. Add the sugar syrup
Pour the water off the grain and ther
let 1t soak in the poison for severa
hours. Take up the excess of moisture
with corn meal.
Vegetable Bait.
A third and more simple rDalt IS OF
ten used where but a small quantity
Of poison is needed. Potatoes, carrots
or other vegetables are cut into piece.
about half an inch In diameter. These
sare slit with q knife and q small guam
tity OF strychnia about the size Of hal
a grain Of wheat II inserted Into eacl
piece. Raisins are sometimes substi,
tuted for vegetable bait. "
