EDITOR VARTY LIKES BUSY

Bantry Advocate: Last Tuesday
evening the editor returned from q
few days business trip to Minot. His
aged father, with whom he visited
while away, is not very we'll, but able
to be around. Eighty long winters
and summers bear heavily upon the
EDITORS father, but he still wears the
smiling countenance of a man who has

journey here cannot last much long

whenever the Call comes from Him
whom have loved since I was a
young and vigorous man, I'm ready to

The journey to and from .Minot, and
around Minot, was very interesting.

the car, pig and household goods had
to go back to Sheffield.
Emigrant rates do not apply from
Council Bluffs into Illinois, and as a
result Rogers had to pay the regular
rate and because there was livestock
in the car, he had to 60 along. He did
not get pass, as there is no provision
of the law covering such contingent
cies.
After he gets back to Illinois and
disposes of his pig, if Rogers still de-
sires to come west, he will have to pay
regular passenger rates, and if he
brings his household goods, the GUS

SHIPPING PIG IN CAR
GOT FARMER INTO TROUBLE.

Council Bluffs, Ia, March 11.-Nev-
er again, when he moves from one
state to another, will H. B. Rogers at
tempt to get railroad pass for him
self by shipping a pig in the car with
his household effects.
Rogers lived near Sheffield, ILL.,, on
the Rock Island railroad. He bought
land in Wyoming and decided to move
early so as to start on his spring work.
His new home was on the Union Pa
cifc.
Both the Rock Island and the Union
Pacific have rules that permit of the
issuance of a pass to one person if
that person goes along with household
movables, providing there is live stock
in the car containing the goods. Rog-
ers got his car loaded and everything
went we'll until it reached Council
Bluffs, where the discovery was made
that the shipment came from Illinois
territory, which was quarantined
against both Iowa and Nebraska, so
far as hogs were concerned.
At Council Bluffs the Union Pacific
would not receive the Rogers car and
bring it into Nebraska as long as it
contained the pig. The quarantine
rules prevented anything Of the kind
and violation meant $1,000 fine for
the road and a Jail sentence for the
official passing the waybill.
Rogers hit upon the idea Of killing
his pig and burying it in Iowa. The
Iowa stock inspectors held that this
would be violation of the law that
provides that neither live nor dead an
imals coming from quarantined terri
tory shall remain within the limits Of
the state. Then there was nothing for
Rogers to do but to ship his pig back
to the Illinois point from which it
came. He was not permitted to ship
