500 ROAD FINED
FOR REBATlNG.
Result of Cases in Federal Court at
Minneapolis.

Proceedings in the cases brought
by the interstate commerce commits
sion against the 500 Railroad com-
pany and the Russell-Miller Milling
company of Minneapolis, have ter
minated by fines being imposed of
81 900 each on five counts to which
the milling company pied guilty. The
company stated that the violation
of the law had been unintentiOnal
and was technical one caused by
an employe not conversant with the
routing of cars of flour to eastern
markets. The 500 was also fined
the same amount. The Northwest
ern Miller says of the case:
The action was based on the charge
that between Sept. % and Oct. "a,
1911, 18 cars of milling products
were shipped by the milling company
from Valley City and Minot, N. D.,
to Minneapolis and that by diverting
these cars to Chicago, instead of al
lowing them to go to Gladstone,
Mich.,- as originally routed, an ad-
vantage Of &c per 100 pounds was
obtained.
The miiling-in-transit rate Valley
City to Gladstone, was 16c. The
proportion to Minneapolis under this
rate was SC, while the proportion
under the rate, Valley City to Chi
cago, was 13c. BY diverting the
cars in question, shipped under the
Gladstone rate to Minneapolis. to
Chicago, the &c was gained, and 1t
was under this that the charge of re-
batting was founded,

There was paid into the

At that time we had no mill tax

poses has increased over two hun

partially and some in full. The to-

the thinking taxpayers of the state.

PASSES AWAY
Death of Familiar Figure in Early
Day History of the
State.

Grand Forks, April 5.-Many old

ber George H. Walsh. He died a

run east and west, the repairs to
the tracks washed out at Man
dan h aving been suf-
ficiently for trains to pass. The wa
ter is rapidly falling in the Mis-
souri, and no further serious diff
Guilty is feared, altho a second rise
of the Yellowstone equal to the
first, is reported from Glendive to-
day.
An interesting sight is seen from
the N. P. bridge at Bismarck, of the
ice plunging and tumbling down the
channel at a high rate of speed.
South of Bismarck the flats have
been overflowed, making the river
four or five miles wide at that point.
Seen in the current among the ice
cakes are dead animals, hay stacks,
trees, deer on an iceberg, lumber,
boats, grain, and other things the
least expected. Among the debris
that has been seen going down the
river has been gasoline lanuch, a
G. N. railway barge from Williston,
and. many dead animals.
Monday the strip of water over
the tracks between Mandan and the
bridge was about two miles wide.
The river is the highest, with the
exception of the flood of three
years ago, since 1887.
Some of the settlers down on the
river bottoms had a close call in get
ting to higher ground. A great deal
of hay stacked on the bottoms will
be lost.
The highest stage Of the water was
Monday afternoon, at which time
there was 1s feet and six inches.
There is an immense volume Of wat
er yet to come, which will keep the
river at high point for several
days. It4:was fortunate that there
was no gorge of aics sat .sib1ey island.
Had there been. the water at Man
and Bismarck would have been high
er than ever known. The only dan
ger to the big bridge is that ice might
accumulate sufficiently to tear away
one or more Of the big stone piers,
in which case the damage would be
very great. But these piers are pro-
tected by immense iron shod wedges
, like the prov of ship, which pre-
vent the ice striking the piers. There
is no probability of this occurring,
even at this season of unusually high
water, and the only trouble is where
it has always occurred in times ct
high water, on the fiat between Man
dan and the west end of the bridge.
It is reported that the water is. or
Z was in the engine room of the Mar
dan round house, showing that it
was unusually high on the Hart riv-
er bottoms. Considerable grain has
been destroyed that was left on the
low lands.
& Further north along the Missouri
the Stanton line has had washouts.
Four bridges have been taken away
and several cars overturned into the
river. The pump house at Stanton
was also washed away. Considera-
BILE trouble Is also found on the Mott
line with high water.
