Refund Claims Flood
General Offices
SHIPPERS OF FREIGHT ARE MAX.
ING MORE CLAIMS THAN
PASSENGERS.

St. Paul, Aug. claims of ship
pers for refunds Of overcharges made
during the period of railroad rate
litigation In Minnesota are pouring in
to the Office of the Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission, and AS.
sistant Sec. Thomas Yapp is having a
great deal of difficulty in arranging
them for proper presentation to the
many railways.
In many cases the claims have
been made for interstate shipments
and from shippers who live along the
border line of Minnesota in the Da.
! kOtas and the other surrounding
states. 1t has been distinctly ruled
, that no refunds on this case of
freight can be made, SO that the local
shippers will not be able to benefit by
the new rate holding.
1t is only for shipments entirely
within Minnesota that the supreme
court ruling applies, and the inter.
state rates were not directly affected
by the decree in the Minnesota case.
In many instances, they will have to
be modified to meet the situation ere.
ated by the change within the state,
but these new trafics will have to be
filed with. the interstate commerce
commission and nothing is the courts
ruling requires that refunds be made
because of this adjustment.
The commission is making every
effort to secure prompt action on the
part Of the railroads on all claims
filed, and it has been assured by off,
cials of the various lines affected that
arrangements are now being perfected
so that the refunds due can be quick
ly made.
With one week now gone in which
the 2 cent fares have been in opera
tion on Minnesota railroads, the
roads are unanimous in their opinion
that no decided increase in passenger
traffic has come as result Of the
lowered rate. No increased equip.
ment has been provided since the new
rates went into effect, for the same
equipment as formerly used is ade.
quate for the present travel.
However, it is expected that this
condition will not last long after the
harvest season is past. The new
rates went into effect at an inoppor-
tune time for Minnesota people to
show that they were ready to take ad.
vantage of them. The harvest season
already has, started in some parts OF
the state, and for few months farm
ers will be too busy to think Of trav-
cling. In the late fall and during the
winter is when the railroads expect to
make up for the reduced rates, as
they expect the passenger and also the
freight traf8c to increase to great
extent.

CITY COUNCIL TRkNSACTS ONLY
ROUTINE BUSINESS monday EVE,
Lure of the Carnival Shows Too Much for CITY
fdtherS-- ---C0ntraCtS for Sewer let to
tidQQdrt Construction Company.

The regular monthly meeting of the
city council Monday evening at the
city hall failed to develop but little ex
cept routine business.
The lure of the motordrome, the
wild animal show and the fat lady
were too much for the city fathers
and the meeting was adjourned at an
early hour.
Following the allowance of monthly
bills, bids were opened for the con-
struction of a large number of lateral
sewers, on special assessment against
property owners. Bids were offered
by the Haggart Construction Company
and the Valley City Plumbing and
Heating Company. The Fargo con-
cern was awarded the contract, having
the lowest bid. .

buster" pulling leather, II his vigi.
lance relaxes but moment, these
with her trained buffalos delighted a
large crowd last night.
Not least by any means are the
freak attractions on Main street,
where the fat lady, the handsome fat
man, combining with his other attrac.
tive features an ability as an artist
which proved popular with the crowd
last night.
Paul De Mick, the armless wonder,
shaves, eats, dresses, lives in fact,
by the expert uses to which he can put
his toes, which take the place of the
arms and hands which he should have
possessed.
Haba Haba, the Hottentot Fire Eat
er, Is proving a popular act, and altho
the "Hottentot" has slight trace of
Hibernianism in his accent, his act
is not apparently damaged thereby.
He literally eats fire, and his other as.
tonishing acts make an attraction we'll
worth seeing.
Then there are, of course, the usual.
Fat Girl, the Human Pin Cushion, and
Yankee Whittier, who astonished the
crowds by his skill with knives.
There is so much to be seen, so
many attractions to be visited that it
is simply impossible for one person to
make the complete rounds in an even
ing, and as result the Times-Record
reviewer was compelled to postpone
until this evening reviews Of the Noa.
mia shows, the South Befo de Wah,"
and a dozen other attractions.
Above all things, don't miss Squeez-
er Lane. The society editor of the
Times-Record made trip through the
lane Monday evening, and assures the
public that ten minutes spent there
will well repay the visitor in better
digestion, appetite, and everything
that goes to make clean conscience
and good disposition.

Difficulty of answering fire calls dur
ing carnival week was also brought to
the attention Of the council by the Of
ficers of the fire companies. They
represented that it would be impos-
sible for the companies to make 4
quick run on any of the streets lead
ing west from the city hall, because
of the wild animal and wild west
shows which occupied Front and
Fourth streets. The city finally pass
ed resolution instructing the show
to move to another location, but ar
range1nrnts were made this morning
to have th" canvas walls of the wild
west show THROWN back at night so
that in case OF eire the companies will
not be impeded in making a quick
run.

to say that there was not one in all
of the thousands who attended, who
did not vote them "a huge success"
The Patterson shows have undoubt.
edly brought to Valley City the high
est class Of attractions ever seen here.
From the freak tent to the wild ami.
NAL and Wild West shows, they are
par excellence, and the most critical
taste could not but find something
worth seeing.
Perhaps the most exciting perform
ance Of the evening is the riding in
the Motordrome, where two riders who
are really "daredevils for speed" cir
Gle an inclined track at a speed of
from forty to sixty and seventy miles
an hour. The enclosure is extremely
small for such a performance, and the
incline has pitch Of about 70 percent.
In order for the riders to make the cir.
Gle they must first attain speed Of
at least forty miles an hour, or the ma
chimes will fall to the ground of their
own weight. Many who saw the riding
declared that it was we'll worth ten
times the price Of admission.
Owing to the fact that one Of the
machines fell. while in use in Regina
last Friday, there are at present only
two riding, but after Wednesday the
repairs will have been received, and
there will then be three Of the track.
Next to the Motordrome is the per-
forming animal tent, where first
class wild animal show is given twice
daily. A large crowd saw the first per.
formance, with it's trained elephants,
lions, bears, ponies and dogs, and
without exception they were delighted

manager of the shows, has apparently
spared no expense to secure the best
performers to be found in the animal
world, and while the number Of them
