REVISE BASIC
COAL RATES
AT Ri4QuEST OF
THE RAILROADS..

Sioux City, July 19-Revised bas-
ic coal rates in certain sections of
the northwest, the decision concern
ing which recently was made by the
interstate commerce commission,
have been received in Sioux City.
These rate cases have been of long
standing and apply to the territory
from the head of the lakes to desti-
nations east of the Missouri river in
Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota. These notifications have
been determined as result of repre-
sentations made by the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railways.
The criticism of the complaining
lines on coal rates that the rule for
computing distances permitting not
more than three lines was to be used
in making up the measuring unit,
resulted in forcing them to apply
rates on their more circuitous routes
much lower than the artes that
would be applicable. were the roads
permitted to use their actual mile
age distances.
The commerce commission has de-
| cided that the rate of progression
change complained of can be elimi-
mated without affecting the general
level of rates. It is held that the
rates prior to March 8, 1921, were
not unreasonable. Therefore the
| reparation that was sought by a host
| of complainants will not be allowed,
| the report states.
The revised scale ordered for that
of March, 1921, is without limitation
as to the time when the substitution
is to be used.
The maximum rates from the head
of the lakes on bituminous coal Is
now fixed at IS cents for 80 miles
| $1.45 for 100 miles and more than
go miles; $1.S2 for $50 and more
than lao miles; $2.19 for 200 and
more than 290 miles; $346 for 400
and more than 800 miles; 1926 for
500 and more than Ats miles.

MARKET MEN
HIT BY COMMISSION
DAKOTA BOARD ACCUSES IN
TERESTS" OF SEEKING TO
BOOST GRAIN RATES.

Sioux City, July 19-The state
board of railroad commissioners
have been advised that the inter
state commerce commission will not
suspend the operation of certain tar
ifs, recently published, providing
for reductions in grain rates from
South Dakota points to points in the
northwestern territory, says an an
nouncement from the board.
Lines leading into the northwest
published tariffs effective July /, ex-
plains the board, making reductions
in coarse grain rates from local
South Dakota stations to consuming
points in western states.
Terminal market interests,
says the obard's statement, ''includ-
ing those of Sioux City, endeavored
to have the proposed reductions can
celed for the reason that they might
divert certain business from the
Sioux City market"
The matter was taken up by the
South Dakota commission with the
federal commission. The state argu-
ed that South Dakota shippers were
entitled to the lower rates from their
local stations and urged that the re-
duced rates be permitted TO go into
effect.

Depot Burglar"
Was Giant Owl

Lake Andes, July 19-A monster
owl temporarily took possession OF
the lower rooms of the Milwaukee
railway depot building in this city,
and incidentally caused burglar
alarm.
Mrs. G. w. Ramsdell, wife of the
agent, and her children, who make
their home on the second floor of the
building during the absence of Mr..
Ramsdell, who was sleeping up
town, were aroused by great noise
in the rooms below.
Thinking peehaps a tramp had
wandered to the place Mrs. Rams
dell armed herself with a broom and
went down stairs to investigate.
When they turned on light the
mystery of the noises was solved
for they found the giant owl had
taken possession.
Hrs. Ramsdell killed the owl with
her broom, and thus showed what
might have been the fate of any
tramp who might have taken pos
session of the lower rooms of the
depot building at night.
