Pierre. S. D., March 12.-Since the at

partment before it could sell stock in

tanned such a permit from the depart

that because it was under the super

attorney generals opinion ruled that
this part of their business had nothing
whatever to do with the railroad COM

BOARD WILL ATTEMPT TO
REGULATE HOG VIRUS

Pierre, S. D., March 14.-The live
stock sanitary board will hold a con-
ference on Tuesday, March IL, to con-
slider the regulation and distribution OF
hog cholera. virus in this state. 1t is
presumed under the statutes providing
for the regulation of all such matters
that the board should have control Of
the use of this virus and formal steps
will be taken to do so. The hog cholera
serum Is a preventative, but the virus
is like smallpox vaccination virus. it
brings on a form of the disease, which
should render the animals immune later
on to actual contagion. As a matter of
fact it is now reported to the board
that some localities are using the virus
bringing on a real cholera, killing
off the hogs. This condition is due to
ignorance in using the virus, and the
board expects to take steps toward reg
ulating the administration of the virus
to make it safe and take the right to
use it out of inexperienced or unin-
formed persons.

NEW RATES ON POTATOES
AROUSE SOUTH DAkOTANS

Pierre, S. D., March 1.-THE railroad
commissioners will have a hearing at
the Pierre office on April IA, concern
ing q protest raised by farmers and
shippers against the railroads changing
the classification Of potatoes, which in
reality will raise the shipping rates of
this product, though in appearance Of
changing the classification from one to
the other, one might not consider that
1t makes such a difference in the
rates. A hearing will also be given
then concerning agricultural imple-
ments and rates thereon.
The railroads have notified shippers
that the minimum for carload lots will
be changed from 10000 to 10000
pounds, and this has caused a consider
able protest. Many shippers now find
1t difficult at times to get up to the
10000 pound minimum for a car load.
and if the railroads were successful in
increasing the minimum by 10000
pounds it would raise a further diff
Guilty in many kinds of shipments.
On March 10 at Bookings the rail-
road commissioners will hold a confer
ence and hearing over telephone mat
ters, and at Pierre on March ~ on toll
rates from Pierre to Onida.
On April s there will be a hearing at
Britton concerning the order regarding
daily trains from Andover going north,
on the Milwaukee. This hearing is a
continuation Of the subject.
