SAVED LARGE SUMS IN FREIGHT

The western states have won a
great victory in the freight rate
cases, the interstate commerce COM
mission having denied 80 per cent of
the increase requested by the rail-
roads.
The advances were denied in car
load traffic in grain, grain products,
live stock, packing house products,
fertilizer, hides, cotton piece goods
and broom corn.
The North Dakota legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for the share of
this state in fighting the increases
and it was certainly worth what it
cost, for the two things this state
was especially interested in were car
load shipments Of cattle and grain.

STARK COUNTY
BEST IN STATE

Stark county occupies a favored po-
sition in the central part of Western
North Dakota in what was once the
stockman's paradise and which is
now the happy home of thousands OF
contented people who are success
fully combining farming and stock
raising.
The first meeting of the county
board was on May 80, 1883, with
Horace l.. Dickinson, James Coils
ter and James G. Campbell as the
first commissioners.
The present court house, which is
already entirely inadequate to the
growing business of the county, was
erected in 1886, and was enlarged
in 1904, by the addition Of a Jail and
sheriff's residence. 1t must be only
a question of a few years when the
county will erect a handsome new
modern county building. The court
house occupies an entire block in the
east central part of the city of
Dickinson and for the past ten
years the county sheriffs have made
it a point to keep the grounds, which
are set with fine trees, in perfect
order and to lay out beds of flowers
so that the court house square has
become one of the pretty places of
the city.
Stark county has been unusually
fortunate in the men selected to adj
minister her affairs, the commissioner
boards being uniformly composed of
men of sound business judgment and
conservative ideas. Although not
one of the larger counties of the state
it has always been an important one
and in the legislative bodies of the
state it's representatives have taken
a prominent part.
The present county board is made
up of Delbert Hughes of Belfeld,
chairman, representing the first dis
trict; John J. Lob of Dickinson, the
second district and Adam A. Mischief
of Richardton, the east or third dis
trict. Under their economical admin

blocks is another industry of the
city. Dickinson boasts a broom fac
