R. R. Commission
GIVES UP ITS TRIP
MEET PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN
PART OF THE STATE;
HEAR COMPLAINTS.
BANOUEl1E0 At GLENDALE
Received Petitions From Inter-
ested Citizens Regarding Rail-
road Troubles.

The railroad commissioners return
cd from their trip to the southern
tier of counties Saturday night. The
intention had been to make a more
extended trip, considerable OF it by
auto from point to point where train
connections were not good, but the
condition of the roads make the trip
Ut of the question until probably next
week.
VISITED 500 POINT.
Last Wednesday the railroad COM
mission visited Frcdonia, on the 500
line, where new depot is asked for.
At the meeting Supt. Derrick inform
ed the people his company was pre-
pairing plans to enlarge the present
structure so there will be more space
in the waiting room and also in the
freight house, believing that with
these additions the building would
b.. commodious enough to care for the
patrons of the road for a few years
more, but the people seem to have
ideas of their own as to that. The
commission took the matter under adj
visement.
GLENDALE MAY GE. DEPOT.
At Glendale a hearing was had
with the Milwaukee officials and the
townspcople on the petition of the
latter for a new depot, the matter
being held open until the general Of
ficcrs at Chicago could be heard from
by the general superintendent, but
it is probable the Glendale people
will get the depot in the end.
MORE TIME At FORBES.
The people of Forbes were granted
an extension of time between trains
a! that point, which much pleased
them. The officials Of the 500 and
Milwaukee lines were seen in regard
to the passenger train connection at
MonangO in the afternoon, and it was
decided that inasmuch as the 500 was
about to make new schedule Of it's
entire system May 81, the time for
the Monango connection was extend
cd till then.
OFFICIALS OF TWO ROADS MEET.
At Cakes the commission met the
city officials and citizens who present.
ed the need of new union depot at
IIGL DOlllt, W liz DulII DS IIS A>oASAA
western and Northern Pacific rail
ways. The matter was discussed i'll
formally and the present depot i'll
spccted, and it is probable a petition
for new depot will be forthcoming
in the near future.
WANTS NEW DEPOT
At jamestown there seems a dis
position Of the people to appeal to the
railroad commission for aid in Sc
curing from the Northern Pacific a
new depot at that point. This struc-
turc has been promised by the COM
pany for many years, but fails to
ma lerialibc, and while most of the
people Of jamestown are inclined to
possess themselves in patience, others
are not so easily composed.

game law the resident of North Dako-
tn who hunts on his own land en-
clusivcly and the man who does not
hunt at all is in no way taxed for
tho protection and propagation of
game. The residents who hunt on
other than their own lands pay 81
for their sport. they regard this 81
license fee as the best money they
spend because it is used in the pro-
lection of game in the closed sea-
sens, to prevent the game hogs from
open season, and for the purpose o

New Ideas.
At the meetings last month many
suggestions were made which includ-
cd rod license for fishermen as we'll
as gun license for hunters, a $25
special gun tax for unnaturalizcd res
idents, the idea being to prevent the
ruthless slaughter Of birds by for
cign railroad gangs in this state, an
earlier date for training dogs, permit
ting this work to begin August list in
stead of August 18th, with proper
penalty for those who permit their
dogs to run in standing grain, a S
nonresident bird license, good for five
days only, later opening date for
duck shooting, October l being pre-
>fcrrcd by the majority, leaving the
chicken shooting the same as at pres
cnt, more clearly defined laws rcsu-
lating the shooting hours between a
tual sunrise and actual sun down to
conform to the federal laws. A large
number of other suggestions were
made. ."f'

ABOUT HAIL INSURANCE.

The following letter has been is
sued to the farmers of this state by
Commissioner of Insurance Taylor:
81 am taking the liberty of hand
ms you copy of the State Hail In
surance Law, as amended and re-en-
acted by the 18th Legislative assem-
bly,. M..
"ln that connection l should like to
suggest that this act was designed
especially for the benefit of the far
mcrs of North Dakota. Its purpose
is that of affording the largest pos
sihlc measure of protection against
loss arising from the damage or de-.
structon of growing crops, and to
furnish the indemnity at the lowest
possible cost. Although the policies
arc issued by the state, the insurance
i, written on purely mutual basis.
That is to say, every dollar contrib
utcd to the insurance fund is avail
able for the payment of losses with
the exception Of the comparatively
small sum required for the mainten-
ancc of the department, including cx-
pen$c of adjustment of losses, print
ing, postage, clerk hire, etc. Thus in
1913 the ratio of operating expense
to premiums received was less than
II per cent.
without going into the matter
more fully at this time, may ! not
suggest that the success Of this ven"
lure in state insurance depends pri-
marily upon the farmers themselves?
For am fully convinced that if state
hail insurance were literally and gen.
e.'aily patrOniZcd, so that a cOnSide,
able fund would be realized and the
risks distributed over q large area,
tho hopes of the trainers of the law
would be fully realized, and state. hail
Insurance prove genuine boon to the
grain growers of our state"
