Washington, June 2t.-On its own
Initiative the interstate commerce
| commission today began an inquiry
| into the application of fifty-two east
ern railways for increased rates on
Isfreights. The commission denied the
application of the roads to reopen the
old advanced rate case" The hear
ings for the roads and shippers will
begin this fall.
The announcement Of the commits
sion's purpose was made in the form
of two orders. based upon the petition
Of the railways five weeks ago seeking
permission to advance freight rates
both class and commodities, per
cent, In the effort to avoid the neces-
sity for new tariffs, which would cost
the roads $250,000 their officials re-
quested the commission to reopen the
old advance rate case that they might
have the opportunity to demonstrate
the necessity, as they view it, of the
proposed per cent increase. This
was denied because the commission
was prepared to consider application
entirely new.
In the old case only the class rates
were effected by the proposed ad-
yances. In the pending application
it Is proposed to increase all rates 5
per cent horizontally. The roads say
they are preparing to show the neces-
sity, because Of the expenditure of
many millions for the purpose of the
Improvement to lines and to secure
money for improvements.
In the orders the commission direct
ed the inquiry to cover two points:
'Do the rates Of transportation now
imposed in official classification terri
tory yield adequate and net returns?
And if not, what plan can be adopt
ed to increase such transportation
charges? z"

TWIN BABIES
BORN IN AUTO.

Bismarck, N. d., June 21.--Mr.
and Mrs. e. =. Wells, living south
of Hensler, had a. racking exper
| ienee on their way to this city in;
an automobile, the result Of which
was the birth Of two children be-
fore arriving in the city.
Mrs Wells, being in q. delicate
condition, started with her hus-
band, in an auto driven by Fred
Schofield. They crossed the river.
on the ferry at Washburn and
started for Bismarck. The roads
were not the best, the distance
was long, and Mrs. Wells was
feeling miserable. When about two
miles this side OF Baldwin a baby
girl was born. They proceeded on
the trip, and after covering about
two miles another stop was made
and a baby boy was born. They
then rushed on to town. Arriving
at the Bismarck hospital it was
found that the baby boy was dead,
though the baby girl was In good
condition. The mother was made
as comfortable as possible, and
Z Mr.. Wells has left for home, where
he will bury the dead infant. Some
idea of the run that was made may
be obtained when it is considered
that, including stops, the distance
of forty miles was covered in two
hours and ten minutes.

New York has just chosen a
vice mayor, who would succeed
Mayor William j. Gaynor were he
incapacitated. Col. Ardolph L.
Kline, long a member of the board
OF aldermen, has aseended to that
position by virtue of the resigna-
tion of John Purroy Mitchell, who
has become collector of customs.
Colonel Kline thus holds the
second official position in a city
which contains more people than
any one of a half dozen nations Of
Europe which have kings and
queens ard royal families and
armies and navies and orders OF
nobility. For the city now has a
population Of more than 100000
and its wealth is perhaps greater
than that of q half dozen small
Kingdoms combined. &
In New York City the president
of the board of aldermen is the
vice mayor and takes charge Of
the city during the absence Of the
mayor even temporarily. John
Purroy Mitchell acted as mayor
for more than a month after
Mayor Gaynor was shot in 1910.
The president of the board is
elected, but the vice-c chairman,
chosen by the board itself sue
ceeds him in case of vacancy.
Thus Colonel Kline has succeeded
to all the powers and the pos
sibilities of President Mitchell, who
has stepped out into the national
field of politics.
He was born in Sussex county.

OFFICERS OF. FAIR ASSOCIATION
CHOSEN MEETING ON
JULY 4 AND s

The Board of Directors of the
Marshall County Fair Association at
recent meeting elected the follow
ing officers for the ensuing year and
attended to other routine business:
President, w. H. Dixon; Vice presi-
dent, w. c. Miller; Secretary, E. T.
Frank; Assistant Secretary, Aug. A.
Johnson; Treasurer, L. M. Olson.
The only new man on the list is w.
H. Dixon and he is a hustler from
way back and has always taken an
active interest in the fair. He will
make an efficient president. Dr..
Frank has made such a good secre-
tary that the Board would not listen
to his entreaties to name some one
else.
It was decided to hold the next
county fair, Sept. 16 and II. A race
meeting to be held on July 4 and 5,
was also decided upon. Both events
will be big affairs, and it is hoped
that the weather this year will be
more favorable than last year.

has been far from railroads, stands
"a good chance now of getting two

the Northern Pacific has crew of

from Grand Forks on the east side
of the river to Drayton, crossing the
river at that point and connecting
with their present road to Winni-

FAREWELL RECEPTION
AND SILVER WEDDING
MIR. AND MRS. NJ. L. LARSON SUR
PRIsED AND HONORED BY
FRIENDS BEFORE LEAVING
For CALIFORNIA

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. L. Larson were
rendered a farewell reception at
their home on Sunday afternoon
last by the members of the Swedish
Mission church and other friends.
AS the 25th anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Larson
would have occurred on April 18th,
and 1t being necessary for them to
start on their trip before that time,
their friends decided to combine
two events into one, even if one was
a few days premature. In honor of
the dual event and as token of the
esteem in which they are held by
their friends, many of whom have
known them a quarter of a century,
a beautiful silver tea set and other
articles of silver were given to-
them. a.-. ~..--. -..a :
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson were married
here 25 years ago, and after having
lived here these many years and
brought up large and fine family
of children, some of them grown up,
they find it to their interest to re-
move to a SUMMER cline. Mr.. Lar
son came here from Norway in 1882,
working for several years on farms
in the vicinity, later as tinsmith in
this city, after, while entering into
business on his own hook. AS bus
mess man he is energetic and enter.
prising, and has contributed a great
deal to the upbuilding Of this city.
He started the Warren Mercantile
Co., which is now merged into the
Farmers Cooperative Store. In
farming also, he has made good sue
cess. AS a citizen he has high
ideals and has always striven to adj.
vance the material and moral inter
ests of this city. He has during his
long residence here been one Of the
pillars of the Swedish Mission
church, and the removal of him and
family will be a great loss to that
>church organization, as we'll as to
our city as whole.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larson and the
younger children will leave on the
local today for their future home at
Turlock, Calf. Sons Fritz and
Albert will remain here and contin-
ue as clerks in the Cooperative
store and tFrans will finish this term
of school here and perhaps remain
all summer. Walter, who is study
ing dentistry at the U. will spend
his summer here.
The many friends Of M. L. Larson
and family wish them happiness
and prosperity in their California
home.
