Recent ruling of the interstate
commerce commission granting rail-
ways the right to increase their pas
senger rates 20 percent will be felt
by the Mankato travelling public even

road which was So. 0S will under the
new ruling be 81 cents more or $40.
The fare to Owatonna, which was
formerly $l.44 will be increased to
S1.72. The fare to Sioux City will
be increased from SIS. go to $40 with

DAMAGE TO CORN
Crop In Illinois Reported To BE In
Serious Condition

Springfield, August Corn is it a
critical stage in Illinois, according to
the bulletin of the bureau Of crop es-
Inmates issued this morning. Almost
no rain has fallen during the week and
due to this fact and the ravages of
the cinch bugs in central and southern
Illinois corn has been deteriorating
steadily.
"As threshing of winter wheat pro-
ceeds," the bulletin says, tine extern:
of the damage caused by the Hes
sion fly and winter killing is reflected
by many unusually small yields anu
especially in the larger wheat grow
ing countries of the south.
"In northern counties the spring
wheat is showing rust and scab in
some localities. The crop has sI.-
fered from lack of rain, as mas a:so
the oats crop. Oats are on q short
straw as rule but in most sections
heads are we'll filled.
EARLY potatoes are practical
failure and the outlook for the late
crop is not favorable due to the
drought. The health of all classes or
livestock continues to be good. Num-
bers of animals on feed are much re-
duced from last year.,

Washington, July 31.-Advance of
forty per cent in railroad freight
rates in the east; twenty five per
cent in the south, thirty five per
cent in the west, and twenty five
per cent in the mountain Pacific
territory were granted today by the
inter state commerce commission.
Passenger fares were increased
by the railroads to help in absorb
ing the $500, 100000 wage increase
granted by the railroad labor board.
A surcharge of fifty per cent on
rates for sleeping and parlor cars
was granted together with twenty
per cent increase in the rates on
excess baggage and twenty per cent
in the rates on milk.
The increases may become effect
i've upon five days notice given by
the carriers to the commission and
the public and they must he put in
to effect before January l, 1921.
Since the. government guaranteed to
the roads expires on September /,
vances will be put into force before
that date.
In arriving at the increases, the
commission placed the valuation Of
the railroad properties at SIS, 10000,
900 as against the $40, 100000 es-
innate of he railroad executives.
Possibly Not Comply.
Belleville, Ills, July 31-Leaders
of striking coal miners in Southern
Illinois, where more than 10000 men
are idle, today refused to say wheth
er the strikers would comply with
the order Of John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, that they return to work.
The increases granted by the com
mission are estimated by it as suf-
the railroad labor board which the
commission placed at $61S,000, 900
and to bring the net income Of the
carriers to the 51a per cent permit
ted under the transportation act.
The commission authorized the
application of the general increase to
the rates on commodities. Special
rates have heretofore prevailed and
the charges therefore will be in
creased according to the percentage
ordered in the various groups.
Freight Increase Total.
The freight increase total is esti-
mated at s1,134,O00,000 on the basis
of six per cent on the S18,900, 900, 900
properties of all the roads. The in
crease of forty per cent in the east IS
estimated to yied approximately $3.50,
10000. The twenty five per cent
granted southern roads is estimated
to yield about 500 100000 while the
western and mountain pacific roads
will get an increased return of about
1924, 100000 on freight rates.
To the increase of $1,134, 100000
to the nations freight bill will be
added an increase in passenger rates
aggregating 1888, 1927, 1882; an in
crease in Pullman rates aggregating
$43, 639,344 an advance in excess
baggage rates approXimating ST.,
420,999, and an advance in milk rates
of about 5,000,000,000.
The increases granted are design
ed to give the roads net income of
5 1-2 per cent on their valuation and
an additional one half of one per
cent to make what the commission
described as appropriate provisions
for additional improvements, better
ments or equipment of a character
chargeable to capital account"
