REDUCED RATE FOR HAY
Governor Receives Telegram Stating
Rate Will Be Given Under
Conditions.

Steps are under way to secure i'm
mediate relief from trying conditions
in southwestern North Dakota where
heavy and continued snow has caused
a serious shortage of feed for cattle
on farms and ranches. Governor
Nestos, advised that the Northern Pa
cific railroad would cut the rate on
hay shipments one-half providing
state and county authorities made
arrangements that would insure the
benefit going to the consumer, was
communicating with county commits
sioners and county agents.
A telegram received from Henry
Blakelee, of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, said: "In matter of supplying
hay in southwestern portion of the
state the Northern Pacific will apply
one-half tariff conditional on some ar
rangement through state or county
boards that will insure consumer ben
gift OF concession we make. We are
already advised that prices are be-
ing advanced at Dakota points, pre-
dicted on distress of people. Think
hay should be consigned to state and
county officials on proper certificate
Of these officials. Reduced rate eff
fective to March 3D.
Governor Nestos is calling u.on
the county commissioners and county
agents in the territory affected to
make arrangements in accordance
with the conditions of this offer.
The governor condemned any at
tempt by any person having hay to
sell to take advantage Of conditions
to force the price to an unreasonable
figure.
The continued cold has n:ade the
present winter an exceedingly hard
one on range cattle. The feed which
the cattle can pick up on the ranges
under present conditions is not suf-
[ ficient. Some reports have been re-
ceived that cattle are dying for lack
Of feed. The western part Of the
state is covered by two feet of snow
