And now comes one of the most
vicious conspiracies ever entered into

Mrs. Branstetter, confident that

On January 26 she received tele-

Owing to the usual new years rush
Of business. the meeting of Grand
Forks express shippers IN the Conn.,
club traffic committee. which

The meeting was called last week
by the traffic committee of the club.
The purpose of the meeting is to
make preparations for the intra-
express rate hearing, Which the state
railroad commission will hold in this
city Wednesday. January IA.
The local Commercial club took up
the lower express rate question near
ly two years ago, and. through their
efforts, Il hearing was held in this
city. The commission postponed ac-
ton. however. until the interstate
commerce commission which then
az graphing with the express rate
question, had promulgated it's rates.
This has been done, and consequently
the state commission has called an
other hearing for this city when it
is expected some definite action will
be taken.
With this cnd in Wow the traffic
committee is getting the situation well
lined up. so as to expedite matters
