DECLARES AN
EMERGENCY EXISTS
PRIORITY ORDER FOR MOVE
MENT OF FREIGHT WEST
OF MISSISSIPPI.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 31-The
interstate commerce commission to-
day declared an emergency existed
on railroads west of the Mississippi
and extended its priority orders to
that vast territory. Under the pre-
vious emergency declaration the pri-
ority system was ordered only for
the territory east of the Mississippi
although all railroads were ordered
to expedite shipment of essential
commodities. Declaring that in the
opinion of the commission an emerg-
ency which requires immediate ac-
tion exists upon the interstate com
merce commission act, west of the
Mississippi, the commission issued
through order number "a which
promulgates rules for the movement
of all freight traffic in the west.
Priority movement of food, fuel,
live stock and perishable products is
ordered by the commission. 1t will
be effective tomorrow.

Building Rates
Cut October 2

Pierre, Aug. Substantial le-
ductions in railroad freight rates on
building material from various man
ufacturing points to cities in South
Dakota will become effective October
2, according to a decision made by
the interstate commerce commission
and received here by the state board
of railroad commissioners.
The carriers had proposed to make
increases in the rates on building
material TO many stations in the
state. The board of railroad c)m-
missioners took an active part in the
hearing and argument of the case
and contended that existing lates
were too high, making complaint ac.
cordingly.
AS a result of the interstate 5ody's
decision the rate from Marseiles, Ill.,,
a representative manufacturing point
TO Aberdeen, S. D., is to be reduced
from "A IL to "a cents hundred
pounds. Corresponding rates are to
be made i'm rates to WATERFOWL
Yankton, Huron, Redfiel1, Mitchell
and other eastern South Dakota
points, while reductions to othei
points are even larger.

FAIL To AGREE
ON COAL PRICE
OPERATORS DECLARE 1T I'M.
POSSIBLE TO TELL NOW
WHAT COST SHOULD BE.

ST. Paul, Aug. 31-Efforts to
in the northwest this fall and win
ter failed at the conference called by
Governor Preus with the coal dock
operators today. Governor Preus
urged that a set figure be establish
ed and maintained if possible in or
der that the public might know at
this time what it will be required to
pay. The dock operators refused to
have any part in such an agreement
pointing out that no one can now
tell what the prices will be.
The Canadian and Michigan ports
bidding for lake coal are certain to
force up the price the operators
said. p. F. Herrly of the Pittsburgh
G. Ashland Dock Co., said that coal
may go as high as 81 ton at the
mines.
r. o. Eastman of the Puisglove
Coal & Dock Co., declared that his
company was outbid $115 a ton OIL
two cargoes of coal last week and
consequently lost the coal to bidders
in other sections of the country.
r. E. Smith, of the M. A. Hanna
Coal & Dock Co., said that he he
lieved there would be no pyramiding
of the coal price this year as in 1920.
All of the operators agreed that on
ly the legitimate charges would be
added to the price they are required
to pay at the mines.
With prospects of only half sup
ply of coal to meet the needs of the
approaching winter, Governor Preus
announced at the conference with op-
orators in his office today that he
will urge the people of the state to
secure fuel up to SO per cent of
their needs wherever possible.
The governor described the situa-
tion as alarming" and pointed out
that the maximum amount will be
received
Ivan Bowen, state fuel administra-
tor, told the operators that a plan of
cooperation for distribution is nee
essary Immediately so as to assure
the interstate commerce commission
that the coal shipped to this terri
tory under priority No. / will go to
essential industries and to them only
in such quantity as is needed from
time to time to meet their require
ments. Otherwise, he said, the COM
mission may feel that the coal is not
being properly distributed and will
revoke the favorable priority given
the northwest.
Mr.. White reviewed the situation
before the dock operators and point
ed out that the 100000 tons a
week will be the entire lake program
for the remainder of the season and
that this allotment must be divided
among Michigan, Canadian and up
per lake docks.

BRADLEY AGAIN
SWEPT BY FIRE
TOTAL DAMAGE ABOUT $1,000
Is THIRD BAD BLAZE WITH
IN LAST THREE YEARS.

Bradley, Aug. 31-Five business
buildings of Bradley and the postof-
flee were destroyed by fire. The
blaze started in the j. H. Little ma
chine shop and could not be checked
because the town is without fire
fighting equipment. 1t swept along
the row of frame buildings from the
machine shop to the corner, taking
everything.
The total loss is estimated at $25.-
600 to $4,000, although this figure
is not complete.
The blaze was discovered in the
machine shop about 1890 o'clock by
two boys who were passing along
the street. The alarm was given
and vain efforts made to extinguish
the tongues of flames which >ould
not be diminished.
Following are the buildings and
businesses which suffered destruc-
tion by Bradley's third big blaze:
j. H. Little, blacksmith and ma
chine shop.
r. HI. Fisher, garage.
r. N. Sproat, general store
M. f. Moore, meat market and
grocery.
Postoffice.
Brown Auto company, and l. o. o.
F. hall.
The Sproat general store was
probably the heaviest loser, as their
loss may run up to $4,000. In
some of the stores the proprietors
had time to remove much of the
stock, but the loss was none the less
heavy. The mail equipment, and fix
lures of the postoffice were all saw
ed and the postal business is tenn
porarily being conducted in the Peo-
pies State bank.
The exact cause of the fire is not
known but spontaneous combustion
| is believed responsible.
The fire is the third disastrous one
to occur in Bradley in the last two
and half years, during which time
twenty five buildings have been de-
stroyed by fire.
