WILL MEAN SAVING OF
THOUSANDS OF CATTLE

Railway Commissioner NJ P. John
son has won a fight which will mean
the saving OF thousands of head of
cattle for. North Dakota stockmen in
a.concession announced today by the
500 line through which rates on hay
ing outfits from North Dakota, points
to destinations in the Minnesota hay
fields and on hay from Minnesota to
North Dakota, 500 line territory, are
reduced, practically so per cent.
Mr.Johnson, president of the North
Dakota Equity society, was quick to
see the Importance of getting hay into
the state at prices which the stock
men could afford to pay. When the
shortage of hay and grazing first be-
came apparent, the Equity head took
the matter up with the railways serv-
ing this state, and the announcement
made by the 500 line today is proof
that he has won. The Northern Pa
citic, Great Northern, St. Paul and
Northwestern lines are expected to
follow the 500 lines lead.
The new tariffs, announced Aug. so,
are made effectire~-Sept. 4, through
special permission from the interstate
commerce commission. The rates on
hay-making outfits are effective from
North Dakota 500 line territory to
Bemidji, Oklee, Detroit, Noyes, Thief
River Falls and similar hay producing
points in the Minnesota reservation
country. Reduced rates on hay and
straw in carload lots are effective
from Bemidji, Oklee, Detroit and
Noyes, Mimi, to Wimbledon, Sanish,
Plaza, Portal, Crosby, Devils Lake, Ka-
luga,s Rollette, Norma and intermedi-
ate points, the tariff being 1917 cents
per hundred pounds.
The effect OF these concessions will
be to permit hundreds OF North Da-
kota stockmen to transport at little
expense their hay-making outfits to
Minnesota territory, where hay is
abundant and inexpensive, and to
bring back at little expense the hay
which they cut there, enabling thou
sands Of cattle raisers to retain herds
which otherwise they might be com
PEELED to sacrifice for lack Of feed.
